Vikings of Midgard
A Preview by

I've been adding sub-quests to Vikings of Midgard, and
have come up with a DEVIOUS way of implementing various in-game
challenges to aquire the party's various spells and
power-ups. Because just simply levelling up and getting your
abilities is boring as hell. But there's clearly something
odd going on here, because they're all in-battle, so you might be
suddenly surprised when what appears to be a random monster encounter
turns into a unique challenge for the right to use new magic and
spells. Don't worry if you fail the challenge - just find the
spot where the encounter occurs and try again!
Often times you'll be required to help out another character, usually one
who's facing overwhelming odds by themselves. Most of the
time you just need to kill off whatever monster is attacking them,
since the NPCs are ordinarily too weak to fight back...
Other encounters ONLY show up when particular characters are in your
party, so you might want to mix up your roster from time to time, just
to ensure you encounter the NPC. And don't always start off
the battle swinging your swords - many of the NPCs aren't that
powerful, and may run away! Size up your foes to determine
their motives, especially if they're carrying bibles...
Other foes need a motivation to fight you, such as this guy.
In in this particular scenario you'll need to quiclky figure out what
to do. If diplomacy fails....
Other times you'll be hard pressed to survive against foes you
just can't defeat. Bide your time distracting the enemy and
the NPC might provide you an opening to act...
