Line 183:
** [[Blatant Lies]]: "Oh, and if you want a good time, try the Dragon's Breath!"
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: {{spoiler|Against Elsa and the hero in ''Dragon Fire''.}}
* [[Smug Snake]]: Downplayed somewhat because while he may not be as clever as he thinks, he is a genuinely lethal fighter.
* [[The Mole]]: He appears to be a normal (if untrustworthy) thief at first, but it turns out he's a brigand who's joined the thief guild to act as a spy within the town.
Line 190:
Baron Stephan von Spielburg's son, who disappeared while on a hunting trip several years before QFG1. The hero finds him captured by the Kobold, transformed into a bear and bound by an enchanted shackle. His rescue restores hope to the despondent baron.
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: Was turned into a bear by the kobold wizard.
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: Holding this mentality is what drove Elsa away from Spielburg circa ''Dragon Fire''.
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: The "gratitude" for his rescue is more of a formality forced upon him by his father.
Line 200:
A frost giant from Jotunheim, he comes to Spielburg to fill his food stores with the local fruit. He is willing to barter a glowing gem (one the hero needs for his quest) in exchange for fifty apples, after which he leaves satisfied.
* [[Alliteration]]/[[Rhymes on a Dime]]: All this dialogue consists of rhymes with generally alliterative lines.
* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: Brauggi has blue skin.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Don't tick him off, lest you end up on the wrong end of it.
* [[One-Scene Wonder|One Screen Wonder]]
* [[Our Giants Are Bigger]]: Specifically of the "Jotunheim frost" variety.
== Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire ==
Line 212:
The resident spellcaster of Shapeir, Aziza is a powerful water-attuned sorceress with a focus on divination and mind for manners. She serves as the hero's magical contact in ''Trial By Fire'' and instructs him in how to defeat the elementals and help Julanar.
* [[Making a Splash]]: While knowledgable in all areas of magic, water is her specialty.
* [[Ms. Exposition]]: Tells you all you need about the elementals and Julanar and Iblis in the 2nd game. In the third game she gives the player a recap of the end of the second game, and sets up the plot of the third.
* [[Seers]]: She is able to see distant events and look through time thanks to her powers.
'''Poet Omar/{{spoiler|Sultan Harun al-Rashid}}'''
Line 230:
* [[Closer to Earth]]
* [[Granola Girl]]
* [[Happily Married]]: By the time of ''Dragon Fire'', to Salim.
* [[The Medic]]: In ''Dragon Fire'', all you have to do is walk into the Apothecary while injured and boom, she'll instantly heal you.
'''Nawar'''
Line 237:
One of the many harem girls in Raseir's palace, Nawar's first introduction is a voice making lots (and we do mean ''lots'') of innuendo when the hero sneaks through the harem on his way to battle Ad Avis. She returns in ''Dragon Fire'', having been uncomfortable with the peace and going with Ferrari to Silmaria. At the Dead Parrot Inn she serves as a dancer and the manager of the inn's games of chance. She's also a potential love interest for the hero (and the most obvious), being best suited to Thieves but available to all classes.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: In ''[[Quest for Glory II]]'', she is just one of many harem girls, not even having a distinct sprite. The only thing that makes her noticeable is that she is more flirty than the others. In ''[[Quest for Glory V]]'', she's a full blown love interest.
* [[Belly Dancer]]
* [[Gold Digger]]: She responds well to plain jewelry, unlike the other women, who prefer magical trinkets.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]
Line 249:
Son of the leader (Laibon) of the Simbani. Less eager for war than his father, he is divided by his father and people's wishes, and the hero and Uhura's words for peace. Yesufu is soon to enter his rite of passage, in which he will compete against The Hero if he is a fighter or paladin. Despite this rivalry, he forms a strong friendship with the hero, and eagerly comes to his aid at the end of the game.
* [[The Rival]]: He and [[The Hero]] compete in the Simbani initiation ceremony and over Johari, but it's completely amicable between them and Yesufu enjoys playing games with and talking to [[The Hero]].
* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]: He immediately kills the leopardman chief when he kills the Laibon}}.
* [[The Lancer]]: He becomes a fast friend to [[The Hero]], and is ready to back you up and be there for you when you need him.
'''Rajah Sah Tarna'''
Line 266:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: He rambles about [[Clue (game)|Colonel Mustard]] following the murders and poisonings in ''Dragon Fire'', only for Julanar to remind him that mustard is just a seed.
* [[Erudite Stoner]]: He doesn't actually light up in-series, but he has a hookah in ''Wages of War'',<ref>Smoke it three times to turn into a stoner yourself! Also a game over</ref> and Julanar mentions his dipping into their "celebration stock" when they make the antidote in ''Dragon Fire''.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Besides being friendly [[New Age Retro Hippie]], he has a practical reason for being nice, as his healing pills are made from honey bird feathers. If the feathers are acquired through hostile action, it ruins the pills.
* [[Happily Married]]: To Julanar by the time of ''Dragon Fire''.
* [[The Medic]]: His role as apothecary involves the preparation and sale of restorative pills and potions.
* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: Without the sexual promiscuity or railing against the Man.
* [[Steven Jay Blum]]: Plays him in ''Dragon Fire''.
Line 277:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: On the council, she is the one most in favor of avoiding war, realizing that the Demons are behind this.
* [[Happily Married]]: It's quite obvious that she and Rakeesh are a loving and affectionate couple.
* [[Ms. Exposition]]: She fills both Rakeesh and [[The Hero]] in on a lot of current events.
* [[Seers]]
Line 286:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Unperson]]: This is essentially what being declared "honorless" means in Tarna. No one will speak to or have any dealings with such a person. And since the threat of war means that the trade caravans are avoiding the area, Harami is really screwed, because he can't safely travel to another city, and no one in Tarna will allow him to purchase food, water, or shelter.
* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]]: He's the last of the Hero's allies to actively help out the hero}}.
** [[Big Damn Heroes]]
Line 294:
A talking monkey the hero frees from a trap. Manu quickly declares the hero to be his friend, willing to invite him to the Monkey Village and make him an honorary monkey. Manu is one of the few who know where the lost city is.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Agrees to take Harami's place as one of the hero's allies in the prophecy.
* [[Talking Animal]]: While Manu may not be winning any awards for eloquence, he certainly speaks far better than the average monkey.
* [[Team Pet]]
Line 307:
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Before her shapeshifting is dispelled, she looks like any other Leopardman.
* [[Tsundere]]: Justified, what with being imprisoned and purchased against her will.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Again, like all Leopardmen.
== [[Quest for Glory]] IV: Shadows Of Darkness ==
Line 363:
A Hesperian hero who came to Silmaria to participate in the Rites of Rulership. He has a reputation for heroism, but unfortunately not one for his massive ego. {{spoiler|He is the second sacrifice made to destroy the Dragon Pillars that bind the Dragon of Doom.}}
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: And he'll never let you forget it, boasting about his martial prowess at every opportunity. He is a skilled warrior, but it doesn't justify the ego.
* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lamb]]: Dies after the second rite}}.
* [[Ted Baxter]]
** Not entirely. He does win the first challenge if you don't. And in the Arena he tends to defeat any opponent except (usually) Elsa.
* [[Third Person Person]]: "I, Magnum Opus..."
