Not sure how it happened, but Hoke is immune Dark as he has an amethyst imbued into his shield.

Move as fast as you can.

Ice (Flagpole), Ally Gator A, Front Row, Ice if Spellspin Blade, +1 to Shield on Enchantment, Auto-roll on next un-targeted enemies if PCs are unaffected by previous round Battle Order: Hoke Guts Tesni Atramor Torc roared at the sight of the Ally Gators, remembering the beasts from the sewers of Eubric.

Torc devours the remains of the animals as the heroes collect themselves. Hoke consumes 2 Grand Tonics to replenish his ethereal energies. "When y'all are ready, let's head to the next spot and try the War challenge again."

Purple version of Mystic Knight Hoke. Dom't worry, Hoke has an update after the Fields of Glory.

She has 1 in her inventory. So Skrall never claimed one?

Quest 19 - Tesni - 2/3 x lvl Quest 30 - Skrall - ??? x lvl Quest 38 - Haldor - 2/3 x lvl Quest 53 - Hoke - 3/4 x lvl Quest 7 - Cronk - = lvl Quest ?? - Hybros - ??? x lvl Quest 7 - Jess - = lvl Quest ?? - Arthur - ??? x lvl Who did I miss and what quest did the PC get a Zoot's Plaything?

Repeat. "Atramor, take on whatever is left standing after we three attack." Battle Order: Hoke Tesni Guts Atramor

Hmmm...

Never hurts to be a lil snappy every now & then: how else are you going to keep us all in line? :D But it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you added 'ignores row.' I mean, really, how dominating can a pitchfork be if it doesn't ignore row? ;)

Well, I understand that, but I guess my real question is what does 'all defenses' mean if the description also singles out SP.

Does the Pitchfork of Domination ignore Row (description says pierces all defenses)?

A pseudo-demi-goddess.

Adds Poison +7 & Cursed permanently to a weapon.

Hoke's is the 3/4 edition. All of the others wete 1/2. Look up the Wren quests. Hoke would also be interested in a Crimson Haze, Bright Polish & Grating Stones.

How exactly is it absurd? Is it absurd that Hoke has had it in his inventory FOR 2 YEARS? Or that Hoke was in at least 2 of the Wren quests? Absurd? Nope. It's patience and strategic PC building. I've roleplayed the Plaything several times in the past 2 years, and soon, it will all come to fruition.

I am hoping (not selfishly, but story-wise) that Hoke got the last Plaything...

Gotcha, thanks.

Rat A, Repeat All

Ruby (fire): Flagpole, Lucky Rabbit B, Back Row, Ruby (fire) if Spellspin Blade, +1 to Shield on Enchantment Battle Order: Hoke Tesni Guts Atramor

"Tesni, go ahead and make an attack if anything is still left standing." "I thought that was what we were here for. Very well." Battle Order: Guts Atramor Hoke Tesni

"Don't worry Tesni, we will need your arm soon enough."

"You sure are becoming demanding lately," Hoke says with a wink. IF Cheshire A and/or B is still Alive, Hoke attacks one of them, if not, Hoke does nothing.

Flagpole, Dryad, Front Row, Ruby if Spellspin, +1 to Shield on Enchantment. Battle Order: Hoke Guts Tesni Atramor "Guts, I think that critter will be more than expired after you throw that bomb. Only the Dryad will remain standing. Then we can continue our little War at the fifth location." And if this round/battle is won w/o any PCs suffering damage/ill effects, then please proceed to #5, War. Does the Beat/Ethereal mean it only takes normal damage from whatever a Beast is vulnerable to?

Just finished re-reading the last battle of 53. Epic. Thanks again Zepher!
