Grim Tiger's Revenge

[Passenger]

Grim Oakfist in Kithicor Forest is not responding to hails or offering the quest Grim Tiger's Revenge (https://wiki.project1999.com/Grim%27s_Tiger_Revenge) even at warmly faction.

Also, Grim shares a spawn with Brollus Hoost and Tallyn Starwatch. This appears to be functioning as expected, but whichever one of them is up doesn't actually despawn at nightfall with the rest of the living NPCs in the zone. Instead, whichever is spawned remains up until the next morning when the undead despawn, at which point 1 of the 3 will respawn.

Hm, I did this quest early on green and had no issue at kindly faction. This was before the Kithicor undead cycle existed though, so maybe that has affected it somehow?

[Fri Nov 01 16:57:04 2019] Grim Oakfist kindly considers you -- what would you like your tombstone to say?
[Fri Nov 01 16:57:07 2019] You say, 'Hail, Grim Oakfist'
[Fri Nov 01 16:57:07 2019] Grim Oakfist says, 'It is good to finally meet one who respects the disciplines of the Ashen Order. All I have met are rangers. They have interfered with my [mission within the woods].'
[Fri Nov 01 16:57:14 2019] Grim Oakfist says, 'Thank you for setting right what was wrong. I can feel my family from beyond and they are at ease. You have performed beyond my wildest hopes. Take this as a token of my & my families thanks.'
[Fri Nov 01 16:57:14 2019] You gain experience!!
[Fri Nov 01 16:57:14 2019] Your faction standing with AshenOrder got better.
[Fri Nov 01 16:57:14 2019] Your faction standing with SilentFistClan got better.
[Fri Nov 01 16:57:14 2019] Your faction standing with KnightsofTruth got better.

This needs to be rewritten.

The way it works right now is you are required to be a monk class to even get a reply; that is not correct.

I'm also not sure Grim or his PHs should be on a day/night cycle.

Additionally, it is my understanding Grim wasn't even added until 11/99. Were the PHs (Tallyn Starwatch, Brollus Hoost) present before then?

Leaving this up for research. Will revisit.

On green, all 3 were spawning in the first month:
[Sun Oct 27 15:00:28 2019] Tallyn Starwatch regards you indifferently -- what would you like your tombstone to say?
[Sun Oct 27 20:31:50 2019] Tallyn Starwatch begins to cast a spell.
[Fri Nov 01 15:24:18 2019] Tallyn Starwatch regards you indifferently -- what would you like your tombstone to say?
[Fri Nov 01 15:24:23 2019] Tallyn Starwatch begins to cast a spell.
[Fri Nov 01 16:37:19 2019] Grim Oakfist kindly considers you -- what would you like your tombstone to say?
[Tue Nov 05 20:13:11 2019] Brollus Hoost looks your way apprehensively -- You could probably win this fight.

That predated the day/night cycle in Kithicor so I remember I had to get a necromancer friend to kill Tallyn or Brollus until Grim spawned. Not sure if they are supposed to be on the day/night cycle when it is added.

Pending update:

-Quest requires amiable
-Does not require the player to be a monk
-Multiquestable
-Tigers despawn at daytime instead of relying on timers
-Grim Oakfist nor Tallyn exist prior to October 1999 (Brollus Hoost does). None of these npcs are affected by day/night cycling
-Corrected some faction, loot, and dialogue messages
-The typos and bad grammar are intentional

I do believe there are several npcs which should not be affected by the day/night cycling (such as innkeepers). This requires additional research, but likely needs to be changed.
