Thank you for the chapter. Looking forward to the big fight!

Yeah, I want another one of these when Samael's arena vid gets around.

Nice to see Mordin happy......remembering him going up The Shroud still hurts to this day.

Meh, sanity is overrated. Just wait 'till LD starts throwing those thresher maws at other people.

Here comes the aneurism! Finally!

Oh yeah, this is gonna be epic! The top CQC team in the galaxy having a go at each other, with powers! Can't wait to see how you thought this out, I'm expecting a lot of chaotic power detonations, or not so chaotic maybe, these guys are probably the most experienced combatants alive! I know how I'd go about it, but it involves a lot of tech power usage. It occurs to me that Samael is about to become an galactic sensation, hope the holos get censored before they become the likely basis of the Mass Effect version of the UFC. Can't wait for the Samael version of Chuck Norris jokes.

Seems good enough to me, it's not meant to be perfect, just some words that escape translation here and there like the wargs.

No, seems like a Find&Replace misshap with whatever character it was originally.

The guy earlier said it well. Too much in this chapter doesn't add up and seems more like trying to justify things to readers which got convoluted and worse as it went, I posted in one of the early paragraph comments why. You missed good chances to set up internal conflicts for him if he was normal, or set up external ones if he was altered so significantly from modern values after passing through or absorbing essences.

Hey man, we all grow and I think you have a great starting point, the whole fantasy thing can be developed. If not necessarily by reading, I think this would be a proper way to use AI, transforming text to fantasy style and picking and chosing what suggestions to build on; in time you won't need it anymore. Also I recommend pretty much anything by RA Salvatore if you want some style inspiration.

It's quite good balance I think in terms of dialogue and overall a much better way to deliver important aspects such as character personalities and development than describing stuff like other authors (especially stuff like describing that a character was shocked and in pain for 3 days, that really gets me, there's 0 impact to the reader). If there's one particular thing I would say it's that your style is too formal for this type of writing, "he identified a group of orcs" for example feels more like an action report than an immersive novel. To try and illustrate what i mean: "feeling the air shift he quickly sobered from his light dreams and stood peering into the darkness which now held little sway over his eyes. He saw the gangly creatures with bodies as misshapen as the crude weapons they were wielding creeping towards them. 'Orcs!' *fisssht he yelled loosing and arrow into the head of the nearest enemy. The dwarves were quickly roused to their weapons as all those worthy of the company of Thorin oakenshield have fought and trained for years...."

To quote "father-in-law" Aethyta: Kick 'im the quad!

Sedatives

Ok.....I'd say that went well.

Fair point, focusing movie-wise is also probably best, no point in throwing Tom Bombadil into the mix. And it also makes sense then to have all the changes compared to the book lore as it's already a parallel universe of sorts in the movies and they definitely don't cover this level of detail.

Well the Romans had sudatoriums for sure, documented and everything. But I do recall seeing articles mentioning finding what looks like a sauna set up, small enclosed space, burnt rock piles and such up in the Orkneys dating back to the bronze age.

There's evidence of saunas going back thousands of years, you can use those, it's likely what they had and employed regularly to stay healthy.
