Sir Hawklin's Request

Quest: Sir Hawklin's Request Location: Thunderstone: Tournament Ground Questgiver: Sir Gilbert Hawklin Alignment points: 0 for this quest Plot Critical

Thunderstone: Tournament Ground In order to win Sir Hawklin's trust and interest the PC must convince Sir Hawklin of their worth. Short of money to take on anyone as squires, Sir Hawklin will require the PC to proove themselves by riding in the jousting tournament, and defeating at least  2 opponents in a row . (thri edit, VERY important note!)

Thunderstone: Jousting Ground The PC will need to buy or borrow a warhorse (see  Ride for a Lady) in order to enter the jousting. Players are highly encouraged to read the jousting manual available in any store in the grounds, and to speak to Mareth about training in order to master the complexities of jousting. The squires that the PC meets in the first round of any tourney, are the same squires they can train against, so learning their weaknesses from Mareth. In order to gain tips on opponents in the second round and beyond, the PC will need to gather information from commoners, Alice, Mareth, Huntcrown or several other NPCs. Once two opponents  in a row  are defeated in the tourney, the PC may or not decide to continue to win the tournament (2 more opponents, so 4 total for the whole tournament).

Thunderstone: Tournament Ground Reporting back to Hawklin causes Hawklin to leave the area, telling the PC to report to him to recieve his first task and become a squire. From here on Sir Hawklin can be found in the castle.
