History ComicBook / DiaryOfAHero

* {{Cameo}}: One of your opponents at the poker game is the strong PC of ''Pirates''.

* OurElvesAreBetter: You can try and get in their village. Good advice: DON'T try.

* OurElvesAreBetter: Again. Although they're a bit nicer than in the previous book (i.e. they don't kill you on the spot and let you go). And this time, they have a good reason to be cross at humans: a bandit stole their king's talisman. And if you find back said talisman, bring it back to them. The reward is good.

** ''Knights 2: The missive''.
** ''Knights 3: The buried city''.

** ''Knights 5: United we stand'' (TBA).

* ''The prisoner''.

More projects (western, werewolf...) are at study.

* ShoutOut: The book borrows a lot to ResidentEvil and SilentHill. Specifically, the original games.
** Like in ResidentEvil:

*** You're a professionnal trained in gun use.

** Like in SilentHill:

* {{Magitech}}.

** For his defense, you're a pirate. [[spoiler: And if you give him the 10 feathers, not only he lets you keep your stuff, but he also gives you an early hint for the book 2.]]
* [[spoiler: TheMagicTouch: It's very strongly implied that this (the Midas version, to be accurate) is the secret/power of the prisoner.]]

* KarmaMeter: The Piracy stat. It will influence which parts of the city you can explore, and thus, which clues you will find. [[spoiler: It also influences the end.]]

* [[spoiler: MultipleEndings: Once you finally corner the prisoner, a final choice is given: will you take the prisoner back to your captain, or will you do what ''you'' want to do with him?]]
** [[spoiler: If you take the first choice, no matter your Piracy, the prisoner is once again prisoner, and your captain promotes you first mate.]]
** [[spoiler: If you take the second choice and are evil (more than 10 Piracy), you give the prisoner to another pirate, who gives you 100 coins in exchange.]]
** [[spoiler: If you take the second choice and are good (less than 10 Piracy), you let the prisoner go free, and he gives you a magical ring in thanks.]]

* StealthSequel: To "Knights, book 3".

* DamnedByFaintPraise: Sort of. Holmes seems ''almost completely'' unable of congratulating Watson without insulting him at the same time.

* [[spoiler: TheHeroDies: If you play your cards badly, the book will end on Watson's death. Holmes, wracked by guilt, retires.]]
** [[spoiler: It is also possible to see ''Holmes'' die.]]
* [[spoiler: FakingTheDead: Ames Douglas.]]
* SequelHook: [[spoiler: The last page, showing the events of Reichenbach, heavily implies that Moriarty is still alive...]]

-->'''Holmes''': "Oh, I see. You go directly to the last page to find the answer. Why would the end be at the last page? Hey? Do things in order! EARN THAT ENDING, DAMMIT!!"
-->'''Watson''': "Sherlock, you're talking all alone again..."

* IdiosyncraticDifficlutyLevel: Choosing to be Holmes or Watson. Holmes is harder to play than Watson.

--> '''[[spoiler:Netanel]]''': "On the contrary, he's been a precious help."

* NoNameGiven: The earl of Nekashu. [[spoiler: In the book 2, his name is revealed as Netanel]].

* ThirteenIsUnlucky: [[spoiler: [[{{Inversion}} On the contrary]]. You must find at least 13 Bangles to win the book]].

* InTheHood: The mysterious man of the Orc king's sidequest. [[spoiler: It's Netanel, the earl of Nekashu]].

* OurElvesAreBetter: Again. Although they're a bit nicer than in the previous book (i.e. they don't kill you on the spot and let you go). And this time, they have a good reason to be cross at huamns: a bandit stole their king's talisman. [[spoiler: And if you find back said talisman, bring it back to them. The reward is good.]]
