Rubicante
2008-01-19 03:55:00 I thought we were going to die. Several of us were low on health and Rubicante was babbling about a battle. But surprises never cease.

The Fine Print of a Blood Lance
2008-01-13 04:32:00 Well, Blood Lance s are pretty powerful, for sure. Not only do they do wonderful damage, they also steal the health of the enemy. This makes them incredible weapons.

Red Wing Flight
2008-01-04 20:15:00 Even without Yang, the enemies on the lower floors of the Tower are no longer a good match for us, and within a short time we find ourselves on the first floor of the tower.
