I love Bogus

The water 9 blessing stacks (multiplicatively) with quickness from the spell, boots, or jade armour, so he would act even more with both of them.

Bogus attacked a big army of mine and got trashed. It was early in the game, so now I have an Oni King with Precious, Greenstone Armor, the wraithblade, and bracers of protection, plus he's got the fear/howl ability, and so his fear is currently +14. Pretty nice of Bogus to sacrifice himself for the good of my nation

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Speak of the devil!

So right at this very moment I am playing as Machaka and I am pit against those new Oni guys. I've got a huge army of tribal warrior guys (the ones that throw javs and have a spear and a big shield), some archers, and a nice group of spider riding doods along with my priestesses and commanders. I'm heading right towards their castle where there will surely be a bloody battle and what do you know? BOGUS! He stole my glory!

Oh, well at least now their countryside is mine to plunder!

UPDATE: &*/$%@#!!!!!

Does anyone know if, once Bogus is killed, if he comes back? As in: can you get the same special event more than the life of Bogus? And, are there more than one adventuring group around? If not, I hope somebody makes a mod addon that features several different ones.

He definitely comes back; I've seen him show up the turn after he's killed. There's only one group.

I've killed the whole band several times in some games (and got multiples of some of their gear, as a result).

Regarding quickness:

AFAIK (from Dom2) quickness from spell or item doubles your actions and provides some other bonuses but does NOT stack with the 50% quickness from blessing - you just get the doubling. The maximum quickness most units can get is +100%

Heroic quickness, however, is special. Heroic quickness can give loads of actions. This stacks additively with the +50% from bless or the +100% from item/spell (or +100% total from both).
I've had units with four or five full actions per turn in Dom2. It's the best heroic ability IMO. Even better in Dom1 when the bag of winds could summon a free elemental every action...

You know, that's what I thought too! That's why I was a bit surprised when Graeme said it multipies. I thought inn Dom2 quickness from spell/item simply replaces 50% quickness from bless. But since Graeme sounded confident I decided that maybe I do not remember things correctly, or perhaps it was changed in Dom3.

Remind me please Graeme - what are the exact rules of this multiplication? Is it 50% chance of 2 attacks per turn and 50% chance of 3 attacks, same for both melee and missile attacks?

I'm not really sure how it works, since I've seen an ice devil with 150% heroic quickness make 9 attacks per turn.
