He's not particularly hard, though he does hit like a truck-and his size makes it hard to get a good screenshot. Once Rokdar goes down, Gurgthock ups the prize, giving us 5 Super Health Potions and 5 Super Mana Potions in addition to the gold and XP. Sweet deal!
The fourth bout is Skra'gath, one of those armored Void Lords we've been seeing about (like Pandemonius). He's got some shadow damage, but really, not all that hard. This is cake! Easy cake, too!
Hey, Gurgthock tells me (and my party) that the next bout is against the Warmaul Champion himself to defend his title. How bad can it be, eh?
All the other fighters spawned in the ring. However, the Champion-a
large armored Murkblood warrior-walks in from the outside. Once he nears the ring, he turns immediately hostile and attacks anybody nearby. In this case, it happens to be our Shaman, who wasn't really paying attention. Before we can blink, our totem-dropping pal is hamburger.
This guy hits hard. VERY hard. Our one healer can't really outheal his damage, especially with Mortal Strike, and we wipe.
The next time, we're all very careful to stay in the ring and let our tank aggro him first. This time, he's an armored Ethereal. I'd also see an Orc and an Ogre, so I guess it's just randomly chosen. Though he still hits like a truck, we beat him this time.
During all five fights, the big Ogre, Mogor, has been jeering us and insulting us. When the Champion falls, the brute is so incensed that he decides to take us down himself. There's no way puny insects like us can beat him!
