Thinking about how Hûra would react to the Gravewalker...
I was talking to @space-arsonist about this recently and I thought it was too good to not share. -Mara
Hûra is a tracker and he would smell that Tark before either see the other.
Yes, he sees you, Celebrimbitch.
Spectral arrows are ineffective against him. Hûra can both see them and catch them midair. His eyes rarely leave the Wraith.
After Talion finally plucks up the courage to confront the shaman, he scoffs and says: "Harassing a lone uruk, Gravewalker? Have the two of you not a War to perpetuate?"
Once the Gravewalker is defeated, Hûra doesn't kill him. Instead, he allows him to live. "Learn to scout your targets better, Wraith." He glares at Celebrimbor. "And, Tark-" His gaze shifts lower. "-do not forget the value of life. To cast it aside so carelessly is unbecoming of you." And leaves.
This puts him on Talion and Celebrimbor's shit list for sure. Mercy is always a double edged sword. This time it wasn't met with gratitude, but anger and vengeance.
If Hûra smells him before he sees him: "Hmph... typical...", "Not again...", "The blind leading the blind...", *growling unintelligibly*
"Again? Had you the time to lick your wounds?"
"Only stupid sods look for an unwinnable fight in Mordor!"
"Not a fast learner, I see... So be it, for I am a patient mentor!"
"What is the matter with you? Have you gone mad? Or does that Wraith truly have a grasp of your stones, Gravewalker?!"
Hûra isn't one for gloating before, during, or after combat. Occasionally he will shake his head and grumble quietly under his breath as he takes his leave.
Eventually, Talion and Celebrimbor will target Hûra's blood brother, Takra.
After grabbing Talion's wrist from behind: "What the hell do you think you are doing to MY blood brother, you animal!?"
"Keep your fucking hands off of THEM!"
"You are the worst kind of scum. Fight someone your own size!"
"Who the fuck do you think you are, Tark, to put your filthy hands on my blood brother?!"
"I will KILL YOU for touching them!!"
After an encounter when the Gravewalker attacks Hûra's blood brother, both ridicule him and his swift defeat.
Hûra says: "Never rise again, scum." as he holds Takra close.
Hûra says: "Are you harmed, Starlight...?" as he looks Takra over. "No, thank you..." They both glare at Talion's body.
Takra kicks Talion's dying body. "Bastard..." Spits.
Takra hugs Hûra. "I was scared..." Hûra hugs them tightly. "I know... I am so sorry..."
Hûra kicks Talion's dying body. "Rot in hell, wraith bastards..." Leaves with Takra who's gaze lingers for a moment longer.
Hûra is an accidental powerhouse: Dark Strikes, Mystic Blade, Blood Brother Bond, Vault Breaker, Combat Master, Vigilant Against Stealth, Immune to Ranged, Immune to Poison, Immune to and Enraged by Frost- and there's more but holy shit...
Oops, sorry Talion. You're fucked.
