Prowling through the mini-mall parking lot, brandishing a sharpened screwdriver, cometh **Bosda Di’Chi Of Tricor**! And he gives a mighty scream:

“This one’s for you, mom! I sow darkness and discord until there is no more hope!”

In real life, however, I think I’ll just stick with randomly spewing whatever curse words come to mind.

All this time I thought my battle cry was:

But in actuallity it is:

So, what was the medieval guy’s battle cry? “I’m going to go Spartan on your ass!”

My favorite battle cry comes from gaming:

**I shall meditate, then I shall kill you!**

Hmmm… mine should be something Norse, but more likely it would be…

Yea, verily: Who is that, striding out of the mini-mall parking lot! It is **Scuba\_Ben** , hands clutching a sharpened screwdriver! And with a cruel scream, his voice cometh:

“For the love of carnage and discord, I destroy all in my path like a four-year-old on a sugar rampage!”

(Although in reality, my battle cry is usually made unintelligible by either a regulator or a mouthguard.)

I love mine.

Rampaging on the icy wasteland, wielding a reflective halberd, cometh Magayuk! And she gives a gutteral scream:

“I’m going to fuck you all the way to Old Bonny Scotland!!”

And a halberd appears to be a spear with an axe stuck to it. Sweet.

They also have a backspike or hook on 'em.

Backspike–for a backhand blow.

Hook–for killing Peter Pan.

😃

Actually, for pulling a rider off his horse.
