Episode #550: Of course he won't tell

[Trixbeat]

Well Thief definitely isn't invincible. BM backstabbed him twice already.

Looks like thief is invincible and that he has his so-called character vice covered.

I disagree. What if it was a fiend, like Kary, who didn't give a dire rat's backside for what the law states, got a hold of him? He'd have to rely on his natural Elven agility and talents that he honed to perfection after years of wandering in the forests to get out of it!

Or, if you put a pile of gold in front of him, and then chopped his head off from behind?

[Kima Azure]

The first scenario is against you. The second is good.

[Phil]

You can always count on Fighter to screw it all up
Him and Red Mage of course.

When did blackmage successfully backstab theif?
(or are you referring to those random knifing scenes that come to no consequence?)

@ Carnivore
Perhaps you could do that to thief, but it hasn't been demonstrated thus far and he actually has managed to use his agility to get out of every bad situation thieving couldnt get him our of. It still seems he has that covered and that that is at best a theoretical weakness, but not a demonstrated one.

Drizz'l: Drizz'l is smart enough, cutthroat enough, and likely evil enough to take command of the Dark Warriors and make them effective - though not in the same way Evil Sara would. Maybe he just doesn't have the nerve to declare mutiny on Garland, because if he did, he surely would have killed that fop and taken over by now.

Do I have to point you back to the circumstances in which Drizz'l cut Fighter down from the web?

Thief's weakness is that you can easily trap him, or persuade him with riches. Recall the time when Evil Princess Sara put up a sign that said "Free Gold" (or something like that), and Thief zipped into the dungeon. You could probably seize him by putting a piece of jewelry in a bear trap.

Fighter is like the Rain Man. He doesn't have any knowledge when it comes to social interactions or practical manners of thinking. However, he mathematically decoded a super complex ancient language scripture in an instant, without ever having studied the actual language.

[The Fifth Power]

Yeah, is it just me, or does fighter really seem to know what hes talking about with all that wierd language stuff? It seems that hes very good at talking... And stuff.

Quoted by Number 81:

Garland got help, remember? He got over his problem.

That's not entirely true. In an incident that happened shortly after the therapy, Garland paused for a moment when Forest Imps were mentioned. The Dark Warriors have not come across Forest Imps ever since, so this theory has never been tested. We'll know for sure when Garland crosses paths with them. Lufenia, perhaps?

Quoted by Bizarro Exdeath:

Do I have to point you back to the circumstances in which Drizz'l cut Fighter down from the web?

Drizz'l may have done some foolish things at times, but he has a better track record than the other three Dark Warriors. He was willing to admit there was something wrong with the team: "I have got to get new, non-sucky friends." Understanding of a fact is part of the road to correcting it, though he doesn't have the drive to actually start down the path from what I've observed.

Don't forget about Berserker lodging axes into his head. Yea, it seems Thief is prone to crazed attacks of rage.
