Stone Golems Rereleased!
We are the women of the Secluded Shrine, Yumiko and Kuwabara. Have you chanced upon a battle challenge that has proven difficult with only your pets and limited weapons? A scroll is something that can help you out in this. They can attack, heal, freeze…many things that could help you achieve that win you would otherwise have not.
Talking of battling - would you perhaps help us out with something that is currently plaguing us? We woke the stone golems in order to play with some new scroll features we’ve been working on. They’re not yet ready, but we’d rather the stone golems were quietened now. Please can you silence them for us? You can keep anything that they drop as a reward. We'll work on a spell to defeat them that will be ready by the end of the month, in case you are not successful.
For more information on battling, visit HERE. We hope to see you in the future.

smh at all the Yumiko nay sayers.
not every woman is soft, small, round faced, young and typically cute/beautiful, or your frankly gross view point of what "looks like a woman" lmao
I'm so glad to see more characters in revamps that look so different and looking less "cookie cutter" with details to differentiate them. I'm loving that we're moving away from all that and going into an actual diverse cast of NPCs like it should be. <3

Hmmm, lets all take a long hard look at your "Kawaii Tumblr" linked in your profile, shall we?

@Marlboro Me, too. I'd love to get my paws on those plushies since I wasn't here for that.
Oh, the one on the left is supposed to be a woman? I couldn't tell. Like the old style look better.
I was literally just looking at the scroll woman wondering if and when you would revamp that super old art.
I LOVE IT! Such neat concepts for NPCs.

really nice characters designs but what is up with the culturally appropriated names? not cool, subeta
subeta staffmember saying it's 'cute'??? no it's just nonsensical..
Staff: ""Fun Fact: Kuwabara means "mulberry tree", and is essentially the Japanese version of "knock on wood". Saying it is meant to ward off lightning, which is cute for a lady that makes battle scrolls imo""

Any point to defeating these guys more than 10 times? Are you going to bring back the other Saherimos plot challengers too? I'd love to pit my Alexondra against them again and get some wins in on the ones I couldn't go near then. Seriously loving this return as it was my first plot so it has sentimental value for me ;)
Thank you for the guide, also for giving my 6 level fighter more then one thing to battle! :)
Where did Yumiko go? It looks like she was replaced by Kuwabara at the Secluded Shrine? But that's the only place I remember her being before.
Is she hanging out in Elwood's pizza place or something?

I love everything about all of this except the names of the NPCs. I guess one of them has been around since Subeta was in its weeaboo phase, so it is only right that it be grandfathered in, but I'm very disappinted with Kuwabara. Especially with her skin color, she looks like she'd be a native. This all just seems like a step back lore-wise and a step pretty far back into Subeta's weeaboo phase. I'm all for Japanese influences and crap, but when you introduced an entire language for the Sacred Lands, it would have been nice to have introduced more unique names besides a name that apparently is a common Japanese phrase?
Especially if she's indigenous, Saherimos is known to be fairly secluded and not heavily influenced by outside lands and governments.
I'm still reading the comments and trying to find out information from the feeble attemps Subeta has undergone to give this site some decent lore, so this comment might just be ranty and obnoxious. But I really did feel like we were getting somewhere and I realize a name of an NPC that probably won't be brought up except for a revamp in 6 years isn't much, but it's something when it could just have easily gone forward in a direction to give us a little more insight on Sacred Land lore.
LIKE WHY HAVE A JAPANESE SAYING WHEN YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A SAHERIMOS SAYING?!?!!?!? That would have been very fun and cute.

Is anyone else seeing this while in mid battle -

Before/After:
I'll miss the flower/bun thing in her hair, but her new look is intriguing enough that I don't mind.
I can't wait to see what the naysayers have to say
inb4 "too ugly omg huge noses ew so manly ugh ew"

Thanks for the new loot and the chance to fight some old challengers i'd missed out on!
Cool NPCs too...i'm going to have to hang out with them more often and make myself some new scrolls...

Oh man, awesome! The old Golems from the Steele plot, with shiny new prizes! So much fun, thank you!
And wow those ladies are so pretty :*

Opponents don't drop special loot at 10 wins, unless they're attached to an achievement for 10 wins.
Like @SparkieSharkie was asking, is there only unique prizes for defeating these stone golems at 5 wins or is there another win tier higher? At 10 wins I'm still getting the same stuff as all the other rounds.
I'd be happy to field the question about names, actually! Yumiko was the original name of the NPC before revamp, and I figured she may as well keep it - there's no rule that says whoever her parents are weren't effected by human influence and there's really no harm in it, imo (I mean, why not? My name is Jessica, but I'm not Hebrew, and have no Hebrew roots that I know of!). Then I thought, well, if we're going to let one badass battle matron keep her name, why not pull that same influence into another character, and give a fun excuse to pull in a little bit of trivia with it.
easy opponents and wearable loot, hell yes.
time to actually put my pet with stats to use :P

love their designs but why.. why in the world do they have japanese names that makes absolutely no sense
I adore the new NPCs but it seems a little lore-anomalous for them to have Japanese names? o:
Yumiko and Kuwabara are gorgeous.
Incidentally, I've had mulberries before, I had one of the trees growing in my back yard at a previous residence here in Phoenix, where they grow pretty well. The berries are very earthy and delicious as long as you don't eat too many in one go.

So i just came back from a long hiatus, probably missed all the amazing battle stuff, but this is awesome! Don't have time right now, but will when i get back home.
Fun Fact: Kuwabara means "mulberry tree", and is essentially the Japanese version of "knock on wood". Saying it is meant to ward off lightning, which is cute for a lady that makes battle scrolls imo
Sweet move releasing new weak opponents. That way people starting to battle have a.higher range of opponents.
thanks for the new challengers :) are they not dropping new loot at 10 wins anymore? just curious :)
For some reason I thought Blake Steele would be the one to awaken the stone golems. I mean, make us awaken them and steal our glory over defeating them. Again.
Why Kuwabara-san, you look a little... different than the last time I saw you. oO
But hey? An entire series of opponents I can actually beat! shock and amazement

Totally loving Kuwabara!!
Thanks for these challengers. I was getting sad all the challengers were out of range for my poor Bean.

Only nitpick...no link to the Shrine? :c
