Scout (2013 Goblin Invasion)
The Scout is a non-player character (NPC) that was introduced during the 2013 Goblin Invasion event in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). This character plays a pivotal role in the storyline and objectives of the event, aiding players in their quest against the goblin menace.
The Scout is a low-level Goblin who wears a makeshift armor and is often seen lurking around to gather intelligence on player movements and potential attacks orchestrated by the Goblin forces. His appearance is unassuming, with a green skin tone typical of goblins, and he carries a small dagger for self-defense. The Scout’s attire consists of rugged clothing that emphasizes his role as a stealthy observer rather than a frontline soldier.
During the Goblin Invasion event, players interact with the Scout to receive important information regarding the status of the goblin army and the ongoing conflict throughout Gielinor. He issues a series of challenges and tasks that players must complete to thwart the goblin attacks. Completing these tasks often rewards players with unique items and experience points.
In terms of gameplay mechanics, the Scout serves as a quest-giver NPC. Players can approach him to obtain quests specifically related to the Goblin Invasion storyline. The quests often involve the elimination of a certain number of goblin enemies, gathering of specific items dropped by goblins, or the retrieval of stolen goods to assist the affected citizens of Gielinor.
The Scout is also known for his quirky dialogue, providing a mix of humor and commentary on the goblins he scouts. His lines often reflect the chaotic nature of the Goblin Invasion, sometimes poking fun at the goblins’ own ineptitude and blunders during their attacks. This adds a lighthearted tone to the otherwise serious situation players find themselves in during the event.
Understanding the Scout’s role within the Goblin Invasion is crucial for players looking to maximize their efficiency in completing event objectives. The tasks he offers are varied, requiring a mix of combat skills, exploration, and resource gathering. Players who actively engage with the Scout and complete his challenges during the event will find themselves rewarded with unique items specific to the Goblin Invasion, as well as experience points to aid their overall character progression.
