Shadow Shaman Strategies

Gameplay

“I am the intermediary between life and death.”

Born in the Bleeding Hills, Rhasta was just a tiny creature that was starving to death as it was carried by a con man who happened to be passing by. With only two coins, the swindler will tell you your luck. Pay three dollars, he will castrate pigs for you, pay five dollars, he will circumcise your son. If it's a good meal, he will put on a shaman's outfit, chant spells from ancient books and curse enemies for you. The strange little creature with the shaman's name, carrying half of the mountain troll blood, the other half... is what breed, no one knows, acting as an assistant and contributing to the strange appearance of fake spells.

Always one step ahead of the customers who ate the donkey, before the guests aggressively pursued a village, the two teachers and students traveled together through the barren lands until one day, the con man recognized the child. farming can actually do what he pretends to show the world. It possesses a special ability – an ability that the con artist's clients appreciate very much. From there, Rhasta was brought out to perform in front of a crowd, and so the nickname Shadow Shaman was born. The two continued to travel from town to town, casting spells to earn money while Shadow Shaman's fame spread far and wide.

In the end, the old trick-or-treating guests found their whereabouts, and the two were ambushed by an aggressive mob who were scammed for money. The con man was murdered, and for the first time in his life, Rhasta's power was clouded by darkness as he used it to massacre his attackers. He buried his beloved teacher, and now, using his powers to destroy anyone who dared to pursue him.
