Monk Stronghold

Which stronghold quest will the monk do?

The monk has the fighters Stronghold

Zarr · 09-11-2002, 11:17 AM

Yep that's the D'Arnise Keep in case you didn't know.

Which kinda, like, sucks.

In my opinion each class should have their own stronghold. Maybe sorcerors and wizards could share the planar sphere but having monks gain a secular lordship is kinda lame.

I have this idea for a mod that would give the babarian and the monk a different stronghold. The babarian should get Firkraag's dungeon once Firkraag himself is ousted. Here he can rule over Firkraag's former minions (orcs and trolls and such).

I'm not quite as sure about the monk. We have to plant a dojo somewhere and attach some kind of quest to it. The monk could claim a title such as abbot or sensei and tutor some neophytes.

Actually, the de'Arnise Keep seems perfectly fine for the Barbarian, except that you get called "Lord" or "Lady" all the time you're there. Pardon me, m'Lord, you've spilled gravy down the front of your tunic.....no, sir, don't wipe it on the dog! Sigh....I'll just go polish your axe then, shall I sir?"

The Keep seems completely wrong for the Monk, however. I'm with you, Indemaijini, I think the Monk should become the head of some dojo, best situated in some mountains or forests. One of my ideas was to turn Firkraag's dungeon (just the first, cave-like part of it) into your own school, the Order of the Dragon (gotta love those big gold Dragon-heads outside), where you train your acolytes in the ways of combat, and answer Zen koans about the mystery of life. At the end, you'd earn that Jade Hound Figurine that was never implemented in the game, and you'd get the Special Ability of Dragon Punch, which does something cool.

I just liked the idea of the babarian ruling the dungeon better because of it's inhabitants. You know all those orcs and trolls that you can let flee. After you kill their former boss they might be impressed and elect you as the leader of their horde. An evil character could use them to terrorise the country for fun and profit while a good aligned character could try to teach them better ways. Thieves guild style.

I would play the Barbarian just for the fun of having Tazok serving me.
"No Tazok, you can't go out today kill some humans. First you need to clean the cave ..."

Indemaijinj · 09-12-2002, 03:08 PM

Or that troll chef (a piece of him could have been overlooked in some jar or whatnot). "No, Aerie not food. Aerie friend!"

Hmmm, I'll bring it up at the next BGmods meeting, just please send me a private message to remind me.

New Monk Stronghold -> Priest MOD
New Barbarian Stronghold -> Warrior MOD

Good ideas for becoming leader of the demihumans! I'll have to rethink ownership of Firkraag's place now......
