I love Bogus

I love heroic strength jotun scouts (i have one in a sp test game), stick boots quickness on there and you'll have a weapon with longer range than a bow, a hell of alot more damage and 2 shots per turn.

I don't need boots of quickness, since Jotun Scouts are SACRED, and I got a Water9/Nature9 bless strategy in that game...

Ever seen Bogus accompanied by hundreds of troops?

The water 9 blessing stacks (multiplicatively) with quickness from the spell, boots, or jade armour, so he would act even more with both of them.

Bogus attacked a big army of mine and got trashed. It was early in the game, so now I have an Oni King with Precious, Greenstone Armor, the wraithblade, and bracers of protection, plus he's got the fear/howl ability, and so his fear is currently +14. Pretty nice of Bogus to sacrifice himself for the good of my nation

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Speak of the devil!

So right at this very moment I am playing as Machaka and I am pit against those new Oni guys. I've got a huge army of tribal warrior guys (the ones that throw javs and have a spear and a big shield), some archers, and a nice group of spider riding doods along with my priestesses and commanders. I'm heading right towards their castle where there will surely be a bloody battle and what do you know? BOGUS! He stole my glory!

Oh, well at least now their countryside is mine to plunder!

UPDATE: &*/$%@#!!!!!

Does anyone know if, once Bogus is killed, if he comes back? As in: can you get the same special event more than the life of Bogus? And, are there more than one adventuring group around? If not, I hope somebody makes a mod addon that features several different ones.

He definitely comes back; I've seen him show up the turn after he's killed. There's only one group.

I've killed the whole band several times in some games (and got multiples of some of their gear, as a result).

Remind me please Graeme - what are the exact rules of this multiplication? Is it 50% chance of 2 attacks per turn and 50% chance of 3 attacks, same for both melee and missile attacks?
