Hoke is ready to throw down!

Heroica RPG - Quest#88: Fathers and Sons
UsernameMDM replied to Zepher's topic in The Heroica Archive
Hoke hears the kobold. He takes a seemingly nonchalant look over his shoulder and at the latest member of the entourage. Hoke takes a stock of the Brothers and Sisters of Light's numbers and strength. -

"Agreed. That's why I am directing them to go down a back alley. If their intention is to do us harm, I would rather not dance around with a verbal exchange and just be done with it. If not, hopefully they will just be on their way." -

Hoke turns and faces the followers and addresses them with Diplomacy: "What are you about? We have no time for games. If it's steel you want to taste we have plenty of it. If not, be on your way along another route." -

If there is nothing to be done, and the Prince is going to leave short of us killing him, can we just move onto the next thing? I'm sure if anyone else had anything to say they would have chimed in by now. -

Hoke invokes the powers of Diplomacy (which he has been doing this whole time ). "Take heed of the words from your fellow paladin Prince. Measure them against your sacred text. Are your actions reflecting those teachings or are you playing out some misplaced fury?" -
I think JImB means in previous battles. Did Guts render aid to fellow PCs immediately? If not, why did you expect them to do the same?

Hoke steps aside. After the Princes and his entourage leave, Hoke draws close to Hewyrt and speaks to him in a low voice. "If it was the plan for the Prince to leave all this time, which I would not have killed him, why did you give us that disconcerting look?" -

"You aren't paying me. Doesn't look like you're strong enough if you have to call your guards to fight your battles. Wise men win the fight even before the sword is drawn. And those your words that cross your lips or has this Warrior Priest beguiled you?" Hoke glances over to Hewyrt. "What say you? Step aside or hold fast? And a straight answer from your mouth and not a flickering of a forked tongue." -

"You're certainly not a hostage, but you're not going to do anything to jeopardize the security of that bridge. Hauling off in a rage to slaughter those that are peacefully returning the king will indeed jeopardize that bridge, which belongs to two kingdoms, not your god. Your father hired Hewyrt, and he hired us. You get in our way, you are interfering with your father's orders. I don't care what you do when Hewyrt releases us from our contract, but as long as we are here, you will not get in the way. We will leave as one. If your father is not returned alive and in good health, I will gladly join my force with yours to attack the orcs." -

"To what end? Your father is being peacefully released. Was he taken hostage? Perhaps, but how many innocent orcs have been killed for some forgotten reason or no valid reason At all? Isn't enough? Shouldn't it be put to a peaceful end with no more hostages, no more blood shed? Your father is coming to you alive. You are alive and will soon be reunited. Let that be victory enough for today. If you insist on leaving, it will be in our presence." -

Hoke stands in front of the Warrior Priest. "No one is going out to vanquish anyone. You will stay here, where you've been this whole time, and we will go out." -

Level 20s can equip 3 artefacts, correct? If not, ignore the following dialogue. "Jess, I would suggest your equip your new helm. Does anyone else want to borrow/take this one I just found?" -
Me? That would probably be a dream come true for you, but alas, I really don't care. Care enough to respond to the topic? Yes. Care enough to foam at the mouth with unbridled hatred for you? Not even on my worst day. Are you talking to yourself in the mirror? How have any of my comments been 'jerk'? Agreed. Reviving should be used for strategic purposes for the benefit of the entire party when resources are tight.

So your strategy didn't take into account Special Damage? Hmm... I wasn't aware of that! Thanks for the clarification! It seems that you want your fake life PC to be rewarded and so are using your real life attitude to punish those around you for not getting what you want. Pitching a fit is pitching a fit, whether you do it in person or on a keyboard through a PC.

"That's enough from everyone. You're safe, the prince is safe, King Speros is safe. We need to make sure the bridge is safe too. If there isn't anything else to deal with here, we should be on our way." Hoke goes to leave, but turns back to the Prince and Warrior Priest. "If it's our protection you seek, you might want to come along." -
Pro tip: Develop a strategy so your PC and party won't get knocked out. Experience is not guaranteed, otherwise everyone would get it no matter their condition at the end of the battle. Not everyone gets a trophy. That's how life works.

"Hewyrt is our employer, and the protection of the bridge is our mission. Besides, it looks as if you and your present company can readily handle yourselves in a fight." Hoke looks over to Nerwen, then back to the Warrior Priest. "Lady Nerwen is with us. Berating new recruit does not seem the wisest way to retain loyalty. You do not hold the monopoly on your lord's will. If the one you serve is void if mercy, then do not expect those around you to show you mercy." -
I think Sandy means quick responses in battle that do not hold up the quest are ideal to QMs.

As the party speaks to the Prince and Warrior Priest, Hoke inspects the bodies of the fallen, to see if there are any signs of life and possibly anything of use. "It looks as if you two can handle yourselves quite well. Prince, are you unharmed?" -
So what you're saying is that someone needs to host a Shadeaux quest when Hoke finishes his current (and excellent) Zepher quest? THEN Hoke needs to earn 40 GP in the Fields to get access to the Veteran Knight class.

How about making artefacts or consumables for a dragoon's dragon or a Sylvan Ranger's pet?

Should have only 3x Dragon Scale as Hoke consumed 1x in the last battle. "Thanks." Hoke slips the incense into his pouch.
