Larok NPC Options

[Troll]

I've done with items, initial dialogue and the .cre, I'm on to my favourite part. Banters! Tell me what you think of Larok.

You meet Larok in the Windspear Hills, thinking he is another illusion, because he looks like an orc but speaks eloquently. Hereveals, however, that he is a half-orc and that he speaks eloquently because he was raised in Byrn Shander after being seperated from his Uthgardt tribe (hence his Barbarian class). He is a beast-hunter, hired by villages and the like to keep back the tide of monsters, selling the mystical or valuable hides to wizards and merchants. He is Lawful Nuetral and is all about order. He hates the wild, even though it is his sole source of income. He thinks it is too chaotic, too savage and that strong borders of civilization are more important than anything. So he hunts not only for coin, but because of a strong belief system. Naturally, he gets along best with Keldorn, Mazzy, Aerie, Yoshimo and Jaheira but clashes with Korgan, Haer'Dalis, Edwin, Minsc, Valygar and Nalia. He finds a kindred spirit in Anomen, due to their common love of order, and despises Jan, because of his completely random and chaotic nature. He has a plus 1 axe, which he calls 'the Taxidermist', armour made from the pelt of a bugbear shaman, which gives him a health bonus, and a lasso which works like a wand of paralyzation, which has three charges a day. He is also hunting Firkraag, and has been since he was tricked into killing his own party. As the story progresses, more about his life as an Uthgardt, his parents, his Byrn Shander education and his party are revealed. What do people think?

I'll play through with the characters before I really decide on the content on the banters. And yeah, he hates unnatrual beasts, I should say that. He gets along with the druids because they both believe in maintaining the borders of civilzation and the wild. He dosn't like the wild because it makes him uneasy - he hates savagery and monsters. I thought an Uthgardt background would just act as a justification of his Barbarian class. Orcs are plentiful in the North and raids would be frequent, so naturally alot of half-orcs would come from that region. And as to being hired by villages, I don't necissarily believe he'd be shunned by people in need because he's a half-orc. If he was a drow, definately, but not half-orc. Why? Because slavers employ orogs. Nobles employ ogre body-guards. There is a freakin' ogre just standing in taverns in BG1, and no one kicks up a fuss. If the villages are desperate, they won't judge him on his race. I mean, if your PC was a half-orc and that was the case, how would you get any quests? He's hunting Firkraag the man - he dosn't know he's a dragon. Firkraag turned his attention toward Larok's party because one of Larok's fellows was servant of Lord F who deserted him.
