Kurzick Priest

Kurzick Priest
Affiliation	Kurzicks
Type	Human
Profession	Monk
Level(s)	20
Campaign	Factions

Kurzick Priests are found at certain Resurrection Shrines. They are not hostile, but may have either a friendly or unfriendly attitude to your party depending on party members' unspent faction:

• If any party member has more unspent Kurzick faction points than Luxon, the priest will offer Blessing of the Kurzicks for 100 gold.
• If every party member has more unspent Luxon faction points than Kurzick, the priest will give you the option to either fight him or bribe him. Bribing him costs 50 gold, activates the shrine, makes the four Kurzick NPCs at the shrine friendly, and gives you +10 Kurzick faction points. The priest will then offer you the Blessing of the Kurzicks as above. If you choose to fight him, he and the other Kurzick NPCs at the shrine will turn hostile and attack you.

Dialogue

If the Kurzick Priest is unfriendly to your party:

"This resurrection shrine is only for friends of the Kurzick. I wouldn't want to see its holiness tainted with your Luxon-loving souls."

Let's talk this over.

"There's nothing to discuss. Barbarians do not deserve the attention of the gods."

I've had enough! (Fight.) (Kurzick Priest and all other Kurzicks NPCs at that shrine become hostile.)

I'll make it worth your while. (Bribe.)

"Now that you mention it, a 50 gold "donation" to the church would help elevate your standing in the eyes of the gods, and perhaps make you worthy to use this shrine... for a little while at least."

Fifty gold for the shrine? I accept.

If you have 50 gold:

"Let's all be friends!" (You receive 10 Kurzick faction points and the Kurzick Merchant and Priest provide their services.)

If you do not have 50 gold:

"I should have known better than to deal with a barbarian. You don't even have 50 gold!"

Let's talk it over some more.

So be it.

I'll be on my way.

If the Kurzick Priest is friendly or has been bribed:

"I am the caretaker of this shrine. What is your business here, my child?"

I am interested in blessings.

"I have been known to perform the "Blessing of the Kurzicks," which will give you +25 maximum health. It will cost you 100 gold to receive this blessing."

Thank you.

"I am sorry, but you do not have 100 gold." (If so.)

No thank you.

I'll be on my way.

Battle quotes

When talked to as allies:

"Bring your woes some other time, friend."

"Duty calls."

"Fight now. Talk later."

"Fight, damn it!"

"Help. A little help here."

"If you haven't noticed, I'm busy at the moment."

"Let's give 'em a whooping!"

"Not now!"

"Now is not the time for idle chatter."

"Spill the blood of our foes!"

"Stop wagging your tongue and start whooping some butt!"

"Tell me later. For now I have enemies to slaughter."

"The time for jabbering over a pint will come later."

"To arms! To arms!"

"We will reminisce after this battle is won."

"Your words fall on deaf ears. For now I fight."

Notes

• The bribe only needs to be paid once per party per shrine.
• The priests tend to follow allies if any of them need to be healed, especially minions since they have constant health degeneration. You can have all the priests of one area following you if you have a minion master in your party.
• The priest's attitude towards the party is fixed the first time a player enters compass range and can only be changed by bribing the priest.
  • A party member with more unspent Kurzick faction than Luxon faction does not have to be in range to affect the priest's attitude, but they must still be in the map.
  • If a party member's allegiance changes due to gaining faction while in the map, only shrine NPCs who have not yet been within compass range of a player will respect the change.
  • If the first player to load the map has more unspent Luxon faction than Kurzick faction, a Kurzick Priest within compass range of the party's entry point will be unfriendly and require bribing even if other party members have more Luxon faction than Kurzick faction.
  • The resurrection shrine will still activate when approached if any party member has more unspent Kurzick faction than Luxon faction, even if the priest is unfriendly to the party.

Anomaly.Similar to Luxon Priests, if the Kurzick Priest is unfriendly to your party when first approached:

• The Kurzick Priest and his accompanying shrine NPCs (i.e. Kurzick Merchant and Guards) will not attack the foes of your party and those foes will not attack the shrine NPCs.
• The Kurzick Priest will heal allies (e.g. your party members) and foes. He will prioritize healing an ally over a foe when both an ally and foe require healing.
• All of this occurs whether or not you bribe that Kurzick Priest.
