I hate Peso, but with a good jealous hate, because he's very, very good at building characters. Paddah was nigh unkillable -- in no small part because of the pebbled necklace, but as a barbarian, that's an impressive feat.
Also, Kirken hated Paddah, because he was one of the few scary enemies that he actually had, and one of the few people to consistently kill him... never alone, but any encounter that resulted in death was Kirken's. That last one with Nico and the sorc against our pitiful six-man group was embarrassing enough to let Kirken sit on the shelf for nearly two months. The day you deleted was close to the day I'd returned, and I'm still pretty sure that isn't a coincidence in my own mind.
Although Kirken is glad Paddah is gone, I'm still pretty sad about it. Paddah was an awesome
nemesis. I was hoping to try and score a kill without Paddah's magic necklace... and though I doubt it ever would happen, now I won't have the chance.
So hurry up and roll something else. With or against, it's usually a lot more fun when you're around.
