Monster Week
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2013 5:05 pm
Over on the Celtic Heroes Facebook page I've just wrapped up Monster Week; a week of posts where I provided some new information on some of the monsters and enemies you'll be facing in Expansion 4.
Seeing as they're up on Facebook, I thought it would be quite nice to post the information here on the fourms as well.
So below you'll find some descriptions of some new enemies that are due to be introduced in Expansion 4. The team have been working really hard on these new enemies, and we can't wait to share them with you all!
The Firbolg
The Firbolg are an ancient race who once inhabited the lands of Dal Riata. They worshiped the ancient fey-spirit Bolg, who granted them unmatched strength and ferocity.
For many long years they warred with the Celtic people, until the gods Lir and Belenus drove them deep underground. Some say this twisted the Firbolg into monstrous beasts, others claim they are nothing more than an old wives’ tale. What is certain is that they haven’t been seen for centuries. That is, until now...
The Smugglers
The Smugglers are a band of cutthroats who operate out of the sewers beneath Farcrag Castle. With contacts at all levels of society, the Smugglers can get anything and deliver it anywhere. But be warned, for they are just as quick to stick a knife in the back of any who seek to stop them.
The Smugglers’ true motives and location are unknown. Are you brave enough to venture into the sewers and discover what they’re plotting?
The Boggan
The miners in Fingal’s Cave tell tales of the Boggan, a race of ancient cave dwelling creatures. Rumours abound that they have emerged from the newly discovered tunnels to attack any who dare tread in their sacred subterranean domain.
As if the Boggan weren’t enough, the miners also speak of fearsome reptilian Warbeasts. These scaly foes guard the Boggan’s territory, deep in the Carrowmore Tunnels, and set upon any adventurers who approach them. Those who seek fame and glory in the tunnels will first have to fight their way past these deadly denizens of the deep.
The Trolls
Legends tell of the Carrowmore Tunnels, a winding network of caverns beneath Lir’s Reach, where – in the very deepest, darkest caves – Trolls are said to dwell.
With terrible strength only matched by their hunger for the flesh of adventurers, these monstrous beasts wield clubs the size of tree trunks and can smash a skull in a single blow.
Even the vicious Firbolg, who share the tunnels with these brutes, scatter and flee when a Troll is on the warpath. Are you strong enough to stand against them?
Other enemies
Bears
Wyrms
Spiders
Scorpions
Lizards
Snakes
And a new type of dragon!
