Dunkoro

Master Strategist

"The outcome of a battle is determined before the first soldier leaves the barracks."

Description
Dunkoro is a Monk hero available in the Nightfall Campaign. He is a strategist for the Order of the Sunspears.


 * Origin: Istani
 * Age: 48
 * Profession: Monk

A lifetime of experience has made Dunkoro the man he is today: a master strategist who knows his way around Elona. He's a veteran of countless battles against pirates, centaurs, desert raiders, Thumpers, Touchers and stranger enemies. With that wisdom has come a realization that he's not the best soldier to lead a charge; instead, he prefers to advise those who do. Not everyone accepts his advice, though. Some claim that he's become too careful with old age, that he's lost the edge that makes him a deadly soldier. Time will tell. For any hero who would hesitate before rushing into battle, Dunkoro would be a valuable ally. If you're willing to listen, he's the man with a plan.

Recruitment
Dunkoro joins the party after completing the quest Leaving a Legacy.

Armor
Dunkoro with basic armor, including a Prophet's Scalp Design, which is labelled as Sunspear Armor but has its own unique appearance. The headpiece--as with all hero headpieces--provides +1 in the attribute of the rune applied to it. His AR ranges from 3..60 depending on his level.

Dialogue
In the Cliffs of Dohjok:
 * "You can't just run off without a plan. Let me help you. I've been with the Sunspears for years. I plan our strategies. Kormir executes them. Let me do the same for you."

In The Tribunal:
 * "Choose your words carefully; the slightest implication will have great repercussions."

In Throne of Secrets:
 * "I never could have planned for this day...but all the same, I am glad to see it."

Quotes
Idle quote before completion of quest Signs and Portents:
 * "Those ruins provide a great deal of cover for possible ambush. Keep your eyes open, I have a feeling this will be very dangerous."

Idle quote after completion of the Jokanur Diggings mission:
 * "There may be more information in those ruins; other things that will help us understand what Varesh is up to. Keep your eyes open."

Idle quote after acceptance of primary quest Big News, Small Package:
 * "As much as I hate to admit it, this mere strip of a girl is very capable. I'm willing to give her a chance, in Dwayna's name."

Idle quote after acceptance of primary quest The Time is Nigh:
 * "Kormir against Varesh? Be ready for anything. I don't trust Varesh to fight with honor. Kormir's going to need us. Balthazar bless us all!"

Idle quote after completion of the Horde of Darkness quest:
 * "Balthazar guide me, but those wurms are amazing! Did you see them fire those projectiles? We could conquer all of Elona, make the Sunspears the preeminent power in the country, rebuild a single throne under Kormir's banner. But...no. Then we'd be as bad as Varesh."
