Gunnar

**Gunnar**, otherwise known as ''the cocky guard'', is an extremely lewd Northcrestian that has been hired by Torben to guard his caravan on the road from Northcrest to Bareshade. You can meet him from day 4 on the track.

## First encounter

Gunnar can first be encountered by heading to the Track and choosing *"Take a short break"*. There is a 40% chance to encounter a caravan and the player must have at least 6 Appearance for Gunnar to take notice and approach the player. When you first encounter Gunnar, he makes a suggestive comment. You can either encourage him (he will like you more, and your lewd fame will increases in Bareshade), reject the offer (your lewd fame in Bareshade will decrease) and Gunnar will no longer approach you at the Track, or tease him back (nothing will happen).

## Shady business

During the Bandit's camp quest, you catch Gunnar on the track speaking with Scar, the bandit's leader. Gunnar gives him information about the nobles from Northcrest, the war with the orcs, the lack of contact with Mythshore and the reappearance of shapeshifters. Scar seems to be wanted in Northcrest, but for what reason? Finally, you learn Gunnar is using Torben's caravan to smuggle weapons to the bandit's leader! You have to decide what to do with this information...

## Origins

**Expand to view, may contain spoilers**

You learn from Jester that Gunnar is actually a member of the Blakemore's family Elite Guard. He was hired by Lord Edgar himself to protect Scar and Jester. When Jester was the victim of attempted kidnapping, Gunnar helped the Blakemore brothers to escape Northcrest, kept them informed of the situation, and smuggled weapons to the bandits' camp so they could eventually strike back at the people responsible for the attempted abduction. Gunnar is the perfect example of the phrase: *Never judge a book by its cover*...
## Subsequent meetings

You can meet Gunnar at the River's Bank by taking a break. During *Northcrest Conspiracy*, you decide to stake out and follow Gunnar. You follow him to the Fishing Village here he decides to fight you (see Gunnar (enemy)).

## Gifts

Gunnar will accept gifts as soon as the player can speak to him and enter the topic menu.

### Erotic book

Gunnar is oddly receptive to the Erotic Book. Once the player gifts the book, check in on him the next day for a scene with these outcomes:

* 20% for a scene discussing chapter 7 and sex happens.
* 30% for a scene discussing chapter 5 and sex happens.
* 50% for a scene where Gunnar tests the player's knowledge of the book:
	+ If you choose *"Being caught"* you get a sex scene.
	+ If you choose *"Robbery attempt"* then *"Play along"* or *"Just let him win"* you get a sex scene and +2Gunnar likes to a maximum of 70.
	+ If you choose *"Too long, didn't read"* then -5Gunnar likes to a minimum of -10.

Once the scene ends the player will gain +1Gunnar like to a maximum of 70.

### Flower arrangement

Gunnar will consider it a strange gift but will still be receptive to Flower Arrangement and the player gains +1Gunnar like to a maximum of 60 and a small sex scene happens.
