Would-Be Heroes: Difference between revisions

The '''Would-Be Heroes''' are a party of amateur adventurers who take it upon themselves to put a stop to the [[Dragonlord]]'s tyranny. The group consists of a overconfident blonde [[Warrior]] as the frontman, a sorrowful female [[Martial Artist]], a pessimistic female [[Mage]], and an optimistic [[Priest]].  

The party is first encountered on the first floor of [[Erdrick's Hollow]], where the group debates whether to continue and obtain the alleged great power  of Erdrick's grave or retreat from the danger, before noticing the {{Hero 1}}'s presence. The leader asks if the Hero is also seeking Erdrick's power―regardless of how the player answers the leader will declare them to be rivals and dupes him with an old trick so the party can reach Erdrick's gravestone first. The deception is for naught as the party becomes too terrified to explore the second floor of the tomb, save for the Priest who merely becomes lost. When the Hero reaches Erdrick's gravestone and reads the inscription, the party is dejected to find that it is only words of encouragement and that there is no nebulous power to be bestowed upon anyone. The Warrior apologizes to the Hero for his trickery, with the Martial Artist explaining that [[Forgotten Ruins|their village]] was destroyed by the horde of monsters commanded by the Dragonlord. The Warrior admits they might be weak, but asserts that someone must rise against the monsters just as Erdrick stood against evil long ago.

The would-be heroes are next found in [[Galenholm]], where a [[Swindler]] is attempting to con them into buy a [[thief's key]] for 800,000 coins. The group calls the shyster out and drive him from the village along with the citizens, with the party remaining in the coastal village for the rest of the game. When the Dragonlord attempts to drawn strength from the stolen [[Sphere of Light]] and swiftly materializes new monsters within the villages of Alefgard, the party of would-be heroes defend the people of Galenholm alongside [[Robbin' 'Ood's Descendant|Robbin' 'Ood]] and his [[Robbin' 'Oodlum|'oodlums]]. During the game's finale, the Hero will find the party within the ruins of their village and vowing to rebuild it.
