No. He’s openly stated he doesn’t like it because it’s course and rough and irritating. He also implied it gets into his urinary meatus. Being the kind, righteous, and honorable soul that he is, would Morit feel guilty if he killed this NPC?
Yes, you would. This NPC is performing a valuable service to travelers of the Commonlands. Although, I don't think they actually assist when under attack, eventhough lore says they should.
Could you reasonably assume that the NPC, or the family of the NPC, likes to write or perform music about the colder time of the year?
Yes. I updated Eq this morning and logged for the first time in ages just to solve this game. I left my perch atop the giant phallus in my housing (which is where I parked Morit the last time I played) and headed to the Commonlands. Upon arrival, I used a spiral search pattern to systematically canvas the entire zone and created a list of NPC’s that fit the perimeters established so far in this game. During my investigation, I ran into TWO gnolls in relatively close proximity to each other. Their positions indicate they are likely static spawns, and therefore Verily’s response to your earlier gnoll question is inaccurate.
I searched Zam npc list best I could, but I don't remember gnolls of any sort there... only orcs and what not.
Yes! Don't feel bad... Ricky Bobby is a true American hero, and he says if you're not first, you're last. Also, second place is just the first loser!
At least it wasn’t Verily that won. I believe he is the “first loser” on the all-time list, and he’s been catching up.
