Odin's spare vessel in case of emergency has been activated! With the All-Father's loss last season, it comes down to the half-elf Rufus to regain honor for the.... wait, Rufus hates Odin. Well, Rufus will be fighting for himself then. The first target for the day is a washed-up fallen Regent who's already proven he's not much against chosen hero types. Deamoned is slow, and his unreliable HP-1 attack requires him to wait another turn to follow up. That's entirely too much time to give Rufus's brutal offense - while Rufus may not possess quite the power of Ryu's Wyrm, Deamoned will soon find that Blinding Blaze leads to a similar fate.

(Note: I asked Meeplelard over IRC and he said that Ned can't follow up Fatal Strike, the HP-1 move, with anything, so going with what he said on this.)
