Knights of Tezoth

I still don't understand why he took Ferlutz away, didn't leave Nebka the wyvern, and even killed you

I was hoping to finally get you with the nail and thought that if you took out the pumpkin, the chances of that would be slightly less than zero. But in the end, I still never got you...
And my last hope was for the retaliation from Ferlutz and the bleed when you were left 1 on 1. But that was not meant to happen either...

Stephanie would have needed to cast about 70 turns in a row there. Not that it's impossible, but it's unlikely. Statistically, even without the bleed, she would have taken down Ferlutz in 35 rounds.

Yes. But there were still no other options to oppose the organized coalition "Let the NPCs have a taste" anyway...

At this stage, indeed. As I already said, Ferlutz's priority should have been Stef, not Alsira. Or else Churchhell, if she had survived. Such is the nature of the competition.

Wyrm supposedly justified it by saying that taking out the team leader was priority #1.

Yes. That's exactly it. A leader is a leader. Plus the speed boost, and the ability to move first with anyone, considering she was first in initiative. You also took out Drozdrand one of the first...
The funny thing is that the Heroist was afraid of death from the pumpkin, but at that moment it wasn't actually threatening him. The Chocolate Lady would have hit you if necessary. But Ferlutz with Avesom is a different matter... For them, Alsira was the primary target. Next was Stephanie, but it didn't work out...

Well, the priorities turned out to be wrong, as you can see. I understand the logic, but I don't fully agree with the argument in the context of the original situation. You should have used Drozdrand to rush to Stef and take her down. There's a good chance she wouldn't have even remembered the retaliation and would have fallen.

One Ferlutz wouldn't have managed. You eliminated all his potential helpers: Kendl, the Chocolate Lady, and the Dragoness. And there were no preemptive strikes on Stephanie at all yet. But against Alsira, he had a helper named Avesom.

He could have damaged the horse instead of Stephanie.

How long would he have been kicking it with 250 HP...
