    One thing I couldn’t work into the video. I have a personal theory that she may have even been taking the bodies themselves, along with their valuables. Body Snatching was a lucrative trade since universities needed cadavers to use during dissection and for students to be able to practice on. With only certain corpses being given by the government, medical universities had to reach out to the black market to find suitable corpses. Again, just a personal theory.

    I must say that Polish name for grave robber is much better because in Polish grave robbers are known as Hiena Cmentarna and that means Cementary Hyena

      I don't see much of an difference, still good thing that they didn't go for something much easier like Rabuś Grobów (translation for grave robber, just a translation of both words)

    Dark, irony, tragedy, and complexity, these makes darkest dungeon one of the best game, with each heroes have their own darkest secrets and a change to redeem themselves, to find good challenge, or just for fun.
    Next is hound master could not wait.

    I would use the grave robber a lot more if she got a little extra loot from room fights from looting the bodies, plus it would be lore friendly

    The Ancestor is screaming in confusion for your lack of subscriber. Its a shame really, since you put so much work on those simple but extremely well made videos. You have a perfect voice for narration too, and all the music/illustrations fits all of this perfectly.

    Honestly, I just found these while working out as something to watch while I get ready to play the game again. The production quality is great, you have a good voice, and very good stories + delivery. These deserve way more views and attention, good god, great job.

    What I find funny is that her and the antiquarian are pretty much just property appraisers here to tell the player how much their property is worth, but then they stumble upon the eldritch truth: earth an egg about to hatch, killing us all.

    My grandma who passed away about 6 years ago and lived for over 85 years insisted there were creatures known as grave robbers and I'd love to find out lore and things on this. We live in the very rural appalachian mountains and there's graveyards dotted all over, usually in the middle of forest's with no roads and most simply using rocks as tombstones as is the case with my great great grandmother and her grave. I've seen strange things around here, and heard of older people talk about strange things. I also cannot forget about the human and animal cross of a claw an older cousin of mine found in a cave around here. There's places on this earth we've not explored and thing's we have yet to discover. I would think it would be a better idea for us to stay on Earth and explore the unknown rather than Mars and space.

    I do not think his wealth was a sham. He was indeed wealthy and powerful. She poisoned him, but he outsmarted her by not including a trophy wife into his inherentence. OR! She could've inherit only his indebted property, but all of his wealth was inhereted by other relatives. I'm sorry, but the idea that someone could fake beign wealthy, especially in the times of DD is just ridiculous.

    Thanks to DD2, we can now confirm that Audrey did indeed murder her abusive husband by poisoning his drink, perhaps repeatedly (which gets really concerning since she's named after Chris Bourassa's wife).

      @aureliodeprimus8018 Год назад

      Considering Chris Bourassas favorite character is the Highwayman, who shares a camp skill with the Grave Robber (Gallows Humor, the only shared ability in the game), maybe the Grave Robber was his wifes idea to begin with and both have a macabre sense of humour.^^

  • @pancake_420

    In dd2 her lore was fleshed out a lot, your theory was correct, she killed her husband by poisoning him because he was abusive to her.

  • @mellotomevoices
    @mellotomevoices 2 года назад +4

    I have a theory that it was the bounty hunter hired by her to kill her husband, as within bounty hunter's comic, he kills a man that looks identical to her husband. Meaning that she wouldn't suffer repercussions as people would assume that it was one of the people that the husband was in debt to.

    So fun fact, those rings her husband wore are a Trinket in DD2, at the very least suggesting she kept those. I highly doubt she keeps them for any monetary value though. Maybe it's because they can be traced back to him and the hands they were pilfered from, maybe she has them just to spite him from beyond the grave, or perhaps she just thinks they're nice.

      Most of them are references. If I'm not mistaken, only the Antiquarian, Musketeer, Houndmaster and Shieldbreaker don't display some references in their names.
      For example, Audrey, the name of the Grave Robber, is the same name of the creative director's wife.
