Hoober  

Locaated at n1570, n460

Scene observed after standing next to Hoober:

Hoober is fuming angry. It takes you a moment to be sure, but it looks as if he is upset with his elemental pet. 'Well you broke it, that's why, you idiot! I always tell you that you play to rough, but not you don't want to hear it, no,' he hollers as he waves a locket in the face ofthe summoned creature. THe chain on the locket is broken and the elemental has no response whatsoever to the continued berating, 'I'll need you to fetch me a pitcher of water and a bunch of vegetables for a salad otherwise we may never hear from her again and then all hope for peace among the tribes will be lost. Now go.' Hoober looks satified as his pet stands at his side, resolute and unmoving.

A few minutes later you observe:

Hoober assumes a very serious and conspiratorial air as he whispers so that he thinks only his elemental pet may hear, 'The wombats will come, for they have a new leader, and he brings them frightening power, he does. It will he be he who is foolish indeed that does not fear the wombat.' THe summoned creature sits in silence, no response forthcoming.


And a few minutes after that:

Hoober looks utterly exasperated and yells at his elemental pet, 'No, no, no!! First the rabbit goes around the bend and then the child can enter so that the flowers will bloom giving new life to the faceless jar of wisdom. If I have told you that once I have told you that one thousand times, please do not make me repeat myself.' He pauses for a moment, collecting himself, before addressing his animated companion once more, 'now, we were discussing the affairs of state?' Hoober says 'Well my mother lived underground with the rest of them, don't you know. Where would you expect a royal envoy to live, in the middle of a raging storm? Of course she would, but enough about me, tell me about your mother...' He looks at his elemental pet for a moment as though awaiting a reply, and responds to the absolute silence, 'really, is it as drafty up there as one would assume?'

and a bit later still:

Hoober appears to be playing a game with invisible pieces. He stares intently at the air in front of him, deep in strategic planning before reaching out, grabbing an unseen token and moving it silently to another space in midair. A moment later, his head jerks up and he stares directly at his pet, 'what? I did not and I resent your implication that I did. Like I would need to! If this is the way you are going to be then I don't even want to play!' he states and spins around indignantly. The elemental pet has no response.

can anyone tell me how i can get this? i've talked to the bards in shar vahl but i'm still stuck =(

You mentioned it but it is not on the zone equipment list and is not posted. What are the stats?

I was running from Katta to Grimling forest when i saw this guy so i hailed him and he was talking about those animals. So i tried to figure out how to start the quest.

Sitting down there studying what he had said he started talking again whispering to the pet bla bla bla. And said something about the Wombat and that he would return...Humm?? I said what wombat. BOOOM BAAF TJOFF!!!! :p 5 of those bats spawn and start beating the crap out of me. I cast divine aura and zone out.

Has someone done some sort of quest on this? You probably have to kill those bats and something else will spawn. Think ill gather a team tonight and spank him.

I have spent the last few nights in Tenebrous Mounts. Hoober is still right where he was, just west of the entrance tunnel from Grimling Forest

The magic words are "love potion". The items you'll need to find and return are:

1)Luclin Clover
2)Drop of Moonlight
3)Essence of Sonnet

I do not know where these items are found. However, I believe the "luclin clover" is foraged. Any help as to the other 2 items would be greatly appreciated.

I have not yet finished the quest, so this is all the information I have..

Nello
Xegony

i came out of the grimling forest and went to the left over the first mountain into a valley. all i could see was the pet. i put on see invis and tried everything. eventually i beat the pet senseless but he was somewhat hard hitting me for over 100. hoober never showed and the pet dropped a silver amulet.

he and his pet were sitting under a rock overhang on the south wall at -1577 -456

Anyone know what this guy is for or if he drops anything or what?
