| Fantasy art from The Bard's Tale fantasy role playing game.
This is a cutscene with the viking lord Hrafn. The first half of this mocks the fantasy role-playing cliché of suddenly animating skeletal remains into an undead treasure guardian. Further conversation with Hrafn leads to a "competition" where The Bard and Hrafn compete for draugr (undead viking) kills in the nearby catacombs. In fact this is not a competition at all--once Hrafn receives a certain number of kills, regardless of how many the Bard obtains, he ascends to Valhalla and gives the Bard a key to progress further in the game. Incidentally, the valkyrie's pose (to enhance her bust?) is quite curious. |
Fantasy game art from Throne of Olympus . Heracles is the only hero/demi-god who appears in the game. The other opponents of Athena are the main pantheon of the Greek gods: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Demeter, Dionysus, Hades, Hapheastus, Hera, Hermes, and Poseidon. Zeus only makes an appearance during the story slides. In general, the artwork for the gods and heroes do not feature most of the iconic elements of a particular character: Poseidon, for example, lacks his signature trident.
