Line 82:
'''Ad Avis'''
 
The [[Big Bad]] of ''Trial By Fire'' {{spoiler|and debatably ''Shadows of Darkness''}}. An evil wizard who rules over the land of Raseir with an iron fist while attempting to release [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|the demon Iblis]]. Because the prophecy says he needs a hero to recover the status in which Iblis is sealed, he engineers events to get the hero to Raseir and hypnotizes him, but this ultimately causes his downfall, as he cries out to his master. {{spoiler|''Shadows of Darkness'' reveals that the "master" is Katrina, who bit Ad Avis seventy years ago, causing him to rise as a vampire after his death. He resents Katrina and seeks revenge against her and the hero, succeeding in killing Katrina but causing his own death because of it.}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]}}
Line 89:
* [[Ethnic Magician]]
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: You wouldn't be able to beat him in ''Trial By Fire'' if he didn't try to trap you.
* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]}}
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]
Line 102:
* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: Averted in ''Trial By Fire''. Since you helped Shameen and Shema get out of Spielburg by getting their flying carpet back from the brigands, they give you free room & board at their inn in Shapeir.
* [[Happily Married]]
* [[Holding Out for Aa Hero]]
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: Let's face it, Shema's dancing probably helped turn more than a few young gamers into furries.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]
Line 108:
'''Elsa von Spielburg'''
 
The missing daughter of Baron Spielburg, whose rescue is one of the central goals of ''So You Want To Be A Hero?'' {{spoiler|It eventually turns out that she was given amnesia and delivered to the brigands, who raised her as their own. She eventually rose through the ranks and became their leader, which the hero must undo with a Dispel Potion. Elsa returns in ''Dragon Fire'', having chaffed under her brother's [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]] attitude and striking out as an adventurer herself (thanks to her retained knowledge and experience from her time with the brigands). She's also a potential bride for the hero, available to all character classes.}}
 
* [[Action Girl]]
Line 191:
 
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]
* [[Stay in Thethe 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.
* [[Upperclass Twit]]
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.
 
* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]/[[Rhymes Onon a Dime]]
* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: Brauggi has blue skin.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]
Line 264:
The resident apothecary in Tarna, as well as an out-and-out tree-hugging hippie. Salim is eager to help out the hero because of his auspicious aura, and in return learns that his dreams of a tree becoming a beautiful woman are real. While the hero is in Mordavia, Salim heads to Shapeir and restores Julanar's humanity; the couple then moves to Silmaria and opens up an apothecary, where they once more encounter their friend the hero and help him save those poisoned by the assassin.
 
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: He rambles about [[Clue (Tabletop Gamegame)|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]]
Line 351:
 
* [[Bigger Bad]]
* [[Composite Character|Composite]] [[Captain Ersatz]]: Looks like a cross of [[Fantasia (Disney)|Chernabog]] and a [[Alien (Filmfranchise)|Xenomorph]].
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]
* [[Womb Level]]: The Dark One's cave is {{spoiler|''Avoozl partially summoned into Glorianna''.}}
