Since discussion is so active and the solution has already been revealed, I will go ahead and provide the solution in white-out form. I did PM Nether to ask whether he thought the point about WoA not being heroes was unfair.

I communicated, and I'll state it here to all of you, that I don't like puzzles that rely on an unfair mechanic. If you feel that this was unfair, I do apologize.

Anyway...

Units cleared from suspicion:

(1) Acolarh, Venoc Warlord. Note that the Warrior of Ashra is a squad, not a hero
(2) Braxas, Dumutef Guard, Major Q9, Mimring, Nilfheim
(3) 4th Mass. Line, Agent Carr, Blastatron, Microcorp Agent
(4) Gladiatron, Knight of Weston, Marrden Hound, Minion of Utgar, Ninja of the Northern Wind, Sentinel of Jandar, Tarn Viking Warrior
(5) Obsidian Guard - slowest, Swog Rider - fastest
(6) Raelin, Sir Dendrick (both Jandar)
(7) Parmenio (95 points)
( 8 ) Khosumet (has Basic defense of 6 vs. Warrior of Ashra's Basic defense of 4)

The killer is the Warrior of Ashra!

Thanks,
David

P.S.: Now that Dund is dead, that means Mrs. Dund is now available. Hubba-Hubba!

And what does that tell you?

[Su-Bak-Na]

Warrior of Ashra: It said all Ullar heroes, so she was left with Khosumet. She has the lower defense on the basic side, she is the murderer.

I got it right and all you didn't. Hahahahah.

I didn't read the other answers yet so I didn't cheat.

If you didn't read the other answers how do you know we didn't get it right?

Nobody pays attention to the basic side?

BTW, unless my card is misprinted, Parmenio is only 90 points :P

Does your post include a word that is spelled p-s-y? If it does you need to separate the p-s-y just like I did there. Its some wonky error...

If it doesn't then I am not sure whats up...some more info might help me figure out whats wrong and can try to help you.

[davidlhsl]
