Guessing Lind's first quest is going to be a loot-fest. No battle yet and already 2 stat/level boosting items.

Hoke quickly stows his Flagpole and grabs his Gladiator Trident, the tips of the prongs gleaming wickedly.

Torc hissed yet again at the insinuated threat. "Why don't we want to be here?"

Hoke whispered something in Torc's ear. She stalked towards the beggar and lowered her head to be eye level with him. She suddenly snarled with a snort of acidic air from her nostrils, bearing her razor sharps fangs. "You see," Hoke says to the beggar,"young dragons are rather impatient. It would be in your best interests to put down whatever you are drinking and tell us all you know." Hoke turns to his quest mates and shoots them a wink.

"Yes, she will be joining us on this quest. I am rather anxious to see how she handles battle. We have trained and journeyed together, but she has not been combated tested."

"Hoke Ablesword. Pleasure to make your acquaintance," he says as he shakes the imp's hand.

Looks gtg. Hoke cheefully greets his fellow Heroicans one by one, introducing himself to those he has never met before. Hoke becomes a bit concerned as time goes by. The Magpie should have been here by now, but the ship was nowhere in sight. "I may need your help on this one. Take flight and seek her out," he says to Torc after he describes the ship to the best of his recollection. "How fares the docks," he asks the cloaked man.

Then you can't wear that armor.

Saves me from looking through the stats page! Thanks!

What titles exist so far? Aside from what Hoke has, I think there is: a Hero Worth Something, Marketplace Sleuth, Dragon Slayer, Orc Kin, and a couple of others.

I just noticed how many he had when I was updating his stats after the last FoG run. Titles do add a bit of flavor to the game.

So which PC has the most titles to their name? Hoke has 5: Champion of the Northern Kingdoms, Kraken Whacker, Titan Smiter, Snake Skinner, and Rock Champion of Decamon.

"Looks like it's time to see what we can do," Hoke said to Torc,"Let's go over a few more maneuvers before we head out."

DEATH FROM ABOVE!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

If Docken & Hoke both get selected to go on this quest, it will be a friendly rivalry of who can go the longest without taking damage.

Hoke re-enters the Hall after an intensively focused training session and a short trip to the Marketplace. The next quest would be the real test of the training though, and Hoke was interested to see Torc in battle finally. They found their usual spot and settled in once more for a bit of a rest.

Hoke buys (1087 -100 = 987): Phoenix Essence x2 -100

Although I would suggest you get Tesni an artefact with Immune: Confusion.

Guts IS a little less crankier than he used to be. BTW - 1 more quest & PC #2! Still 2 more successful quests for the Veteran Class.

Hoke enters the Training Room with Torc to update his skills as a Dragoon and soon to be mount. "I need to update my training. It looks like we may be able to do a bit more than we could last time we were in here."

Having sorted his items out, Hoke stows his pack away. "Come along Torc, we've got some work to do." He passes by the Questboard on the way out and signs up for Quest 129 & Quest 132. "I wonder if I can work for the Bonpartes yet refuse their patronage," he thinks aloud.

Hoke slowly blinks as he rouses himself from his thoughts. Seeing his food was delivered, he eats and drinks his fill, but Torc refuses a chunk of meat, having gorged herself in the Fields. After eating, he dumps out the countents of his bag and pouch and sorts through it all.

Hoke enters the Hall, ready for a bit of a rest. He opens the doors wide, and Torc saunters in beside him. He lays his gear down by the hearth, his unofficial spot. He heads to the bar, orders a bit of food and drink. He returns to find Torc wrapped around his chair, much like she was once wrapped around his neck and shoulder. He sits down and sinks into the high backed cusioned chair. Torc lays her head in his lap as he absently strokes her scales, spines and horns, which seemed to have mostly appeared while he battled his way through the Fields. His hand unconciously raises and takes hold of the pouch tied around his neck. Torc's tail slithers around his leg as well as the chair's leg with a sweet constrictor's embrace. Their eyes both stared intently at nothing in the fire's flames. Hoke listens yet again to the whispers.

Hoke sells his Silver Ore for 60 gold.

"I'll just take a Mythril for now," Hoke says as he turns to see Torc trotting almost serpentinely up the path towards the exit. It was time to start her training. And almost time for something else he thought as he grabbed the pouch hanging around his neck
