The Blight In The Hyborian Age

[Kris Strife]

Soft toilet paper, warm water, good soup. Cookies if you get the reference.

OBJECTION! The line is "Hot water, good dentishtry[sic] and shoft[sic] lavatory paper." Page 36, The Light Fantastic.

Wait, I thought we were talking warcraft blight here. You know, the undead commanded by the lich king etc. Don’t know anything about dragon age, never got the chance to play it, so I don’t know who’d win in a fight, but I’d still put my money on conan.

[The Glyphstone]

That's the Scourge, not the Blight.

[TheThan]

That's the Scourge, not the Blight.

Same difference really. But I still stand by my statement that Conan is formidable and tenacious enough to deal just about anything thrown at him.

'Cides, its deeply etched in Dragon Age canon that Blights are halted by the heroic, self-sacrificial actions of a couple of dudes. Throwing them into a land containing the ur-example of the modern pulp fantasy warrior is rather like tossing a sponge in the Pacific and wondering if it'll get wet.

True dat. Conan is the man.

[Drascin]

But Conan isn't a Grey Warden so he can't end a Blight...It will just come back again like Cthulhu.

Notice my phrasing. "Find out how to permanently kill the Archdemon". I already factored that Conan would need to discover that he needs to do a ritual before killing it - but finding out the Achilles' Heel of monstruously powerful entities and winning by guts and guile against all odds is what Conan does. It's his whole character concept.
