The Juka Lord is a Juka commander and a master archer (95–100 Archery) with 241–300 hit points. It shoots with a juka bow, and nearby juka mages can boost it in battle.

Overview

  • In-game name: a juka lord
  • Corpse: a jukan corpse
  • Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights at range with a bow or crossbow (archer AI), keeping its distance.
  • Bard skills: it can't be provoked, calmed with Peacemaking or discorded.
  • Notoriety: it always shows as a murderer (red), so anyone can attack it freely.
  • Rummages corpses: from time to time it takes a random item from a corpse within 2 tiles (*rummages through a corpse and takes an item*). Loot your kills quickly near one.
  • Archer: it uses the archer AI with a juka bow, and it keeps about 3 tiles between itself and you.

Special behaviors

  • Taunts. When a player hits it for more than 5 damage without killing it, there's a 5% chance it shouts one of: "<name>!! You will have to do better than that!", "<name>!! Prepare to meet your doom!", "<name>!! My armies will crush you!" or "<name>!! You will pay for that!"
  • Boosted by juka mages. A juka mage near it can give it +75% maximum hit points and +50% Strength and Dexterity for 20 seconds.

Loot

Every juka lord carries:

  • Gold: about 320–500 in total (from its "Rich" and "Average" loot)
  • two bundles of 25–35 arrows
  • two bundles of 5–15 bandages
  • a random gem
  • an arcane gem

It may also carry:

  • A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 6 chances, from about 20% down to 0.5% each)
  • A musical instrument (about 1.4% or less)

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

  • 1 raw ribs

Tips

  • Kill the juka mages around it first.
  • Bard skills don't work on it.
  • It always shows as a murderer.
  • It rummages through corpses, so loot your kills before it reaches them.
