Berserks

Mother Teresa she isn't.

In the fine old tradition of religous fanatacism, The Abbess of the Red Cathedral rides at the head of the Bloodstone Paladins. The Paladins themselves bear the same arms that the traditional berserks did in our own thirteenth and fourteenth centuries--axes. -- Billy Catringer (talk) 06:06, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

uhhh, hadn't the berserks already disappeared by the 12th century? and aren't the bloodstoone paladins carrying halberds (if not, these are really long longaxes)? Finn MacCool (talk) 10:45, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
The berserks were around during the bronze age until I don't really know when, Finn. Also, another look at the weapons the Bloodstone Paladins are using brings serioius question to mind as well. These are not axes, nor are they ordinary halberds. The pole arms were all adapted to fight men riding horses. The Paladines appear to be men in horse shaped armour. Forgive me for adding to the confusion. It was late and I was not exactly observant. -- Billy Catringer (talk) 12:23, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
I would say that they're clanks since they don't look very easy to walk around in. Alternatively, they could be a kind of exosuit. Also, they must have gotten fixed pretty fast since there are a lot of them, maybe a platoons worth.68.7.36.184 16:56, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Also, multilegged horse. Since the bloodstone paladins kind of look like bipedal horses, I wonder if those are the work of that Heterodyne who loved horses (forget his name), the multilegged horse might be as well, but could easily be someone elses work.68.7.36.184 07:56, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

I'm sick of multilegged horses, I see them all the time. I want to see an equine monopod. Argadi (talk) 08:38, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

So, what have these guys got that will work against the Dreen? From earlier comments by Van, the Red Cathedral has tricks of it's own above and beyond Der Kestle. AndyAB99 (talk) 13:23, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

I guess, Agatha got something against the dreen: Gil's "zappy stick". Wednesday we saw already, the dreen created some some kind of energy bubble (as observed by Agathahetrodyne). With Gil's "zappy stick" Agatha could a. "drain the dreen" and b. recharge the castle in one go. 80.146.239.70 13:35, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
