Can you beat them?

Dial in your own weapon and gear. Every connecting swing deals weapon + attribute minus the matching protection - an exact figure, verified against live in-game combat - so both sides show their true per-hit damage.

Withered Axe (6 Strength) drops you in 6 hits through your armour.

Swings in their attack chain vary by attack type; plan on the full hit.

Their confirmed signature weapon.

Every connecting swing deals weapon damage + attribute (Strength for melee, Dexterity for ranged) minus the matching protection, never below 1 - verified hit-for-hit against live combat. On top of that baseline: a charged heavy strike doubles the net hit, a fully drawn bow lands about a quarter higher, blocked swings drop to 1, and individual swings in an attack chain vary by attack type.

All stats shown are the Gothic baseline. Difficulty rescales enemies per archetype: on Hard they swing with half again the attributes and carry 20% more health; on Novice their protections drop. The numbers above already apply the selected difficulty.

Loot

These are the items Baal Kagan actually carries, with their stack counts. Values are the item's base worth in ore, the lumps of magic ore that are the Colony's only currency. Worn armour is never dropped.

  2. How should I compensate you?

A wise choice. You already know that you'll have to convince the higher baals to get accepted. The "gurus." 5 lines
  1. A wise choice. You already know that you'll have to convince the higher baals to get accepted. The "gurus."
  2. The problem is, one of them, Baal Tyon, is a touch arrogant. Y'Berion asked him for advice a couple of times - that got to his head, and he now refuses to speak with anyone except his students.
  3. That will make it very hard for you to win his support.
  4. I can indeed. Here. Give him this smoke roll, and he'll be a lot more ... loquacious.
  5. Help me join the Brotherhood.

  2. I want the scrolls. What do you have on offer?
Anyone, really. Most guys in here won't turn down a free smoke. But remember, one roll per person.4 lines

  2. Ah, and one more thing: if you lose the herbs or smoke them all by yourself, our deal is off. Understood?
  3. All right, hand me those rolls. Who I should give them to?
  4. Sure.
Is that so? I have yet to see new customers. Give out some more.1 line

They did, actually - Isidro. The problem is, he does nothing but loaf around the lake tavern all day, where he sells his swampweed for rice schnapps.3 lines
