Awook

Gnoll contestant at the Festival of Heroes. His looks and stature can be quite intimidating to the locals.

The Gnoll is the tallest of the contestants. He sharpens his blade near one of the statues. - Festival of Heroes (GS-ADV1)

His savagery is known by the other participants.

“That’s Awook. He took the test of champions last year. I heard he ate one of the other competitors.” The Halfling shrugs. “I mean… it’s probably just a rumor.” - Pulgor - Festival of Heroes (GS-ADV1)

Awook distances himself from the rest of the would be heroes. He seems content to hunt down the Werewolf himself.

• You may attempt to work with Awook.
• You decide to work with Pulgor Goodweather instead.

Choosing to work with Awook, you sense he is not pleased with your choice.

The Gnoll sizes you up warily and then sighs. “Fine,” he says. “Just try to stay out of my way.“ - Awook - Festival of Heroes (GS-ADV1)

Awook has an intimidating way of dealing with the locals of Wildwood. Many seem afraid or reluctant to answer his questions.

“Even when I try to be polite, these townsfolk react as if I were a monster. Perhaps it would be better if you talked to her.” - Awook - Festival of Heroe (GS-ADV1)

Pulgor will get in the way of your hunt multiple times. Eventually you will have to deal with him, either asking him to join you or send him packing. Due to Awook's intense disdain for the Queen, Pulgor will attempt to teach him a lesson.

Once the Werewolf has been handled, the Immortal Knight will inform Awook that he is not welcome in the Guild. In fact, he is a known Dragul spy, a fact that he just laughs at as he wanders into the distance.

The accusation against Awook is later proven true. He has been paying the Order of Assassins to kill members of the Heroes Guild.

Your choices early in your adventure will determine if you offer aid to Awook during the Battle of the Arcazion Pit.
