The House of Harold the Halfling

From A KoL Wiki

This is where the Harold the Halfling lives.

  • On first visit:

You enter the house and are greeted by half a man.

"Hello... snif Adventurer," he says, with tears in his eye. "Can you... snif help me? My hammer is broken, and it really snif means a lot to me, and I can't fix it myself..."

"Okay, I'll try to fix it."

"You will? Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you, thank you so much. Here are the parts of it."

You acquire an item: Harold's hammer head
You acquire an item: Harold's hammer handle

"It should be pretty simple to fix it with some Meat Paste -- I'd do it myself, but I've only got the one arm, you know."

  • On returning, before fixing the hammer:

"Please hurry, Adventurer! I just can't wait for my hammer to be in one piece again..."

  • After fixing the hammer:

Harold beams. Or at least half-beams, it's kind of hard to tell. He takes the hammer.

"Thank you! Here, have this, for your trouble. <Player name>, was it? Thank you, <Player name>."

Harold winks (or... blinks?) as he hands you a pile of Meat.

You gain 150 Meat.
  • After fixing the hammer (second visit)

"<Player name>! Just the Adventurer I wanted to see.

"This neighborhood is really going downhill lately, and I've been thinking about acquiring some... protection. I'd like to make myself a Meat sword, but my hammer isn't heavy enough to actually smith Meat.

"Do you think you could get your hands on a tenderizing hammer and help me out?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Great! Head over to the Meatsmith, in Market Square, and buy a hammer and a sword hilt. I'd go myself, but I've only got the one leg, you know."

  • On returning, before buying the hilt:

[sic]

  • On returning, after buying the hilt:

"The next thing you'll need is a Meat stack. Then use the hammer to forge the stack and the hilt into a Meat sword."

  • On returning, before making the meat stack:

"How's that Meat stack coming?"

  • On returning, before making the sword:

"Have you finished making my Meat sword yet, <Player name>?"

  • On returning, after making the sword:

Harold grins broadly. Half-broadly.

"That's a fine-looking Meat sword, <Player name>! Fine indeed."

  • On returning, last time:

"Thanks again for all of your help, <Player name>."
