Notes
- If he survives, he will say "Mr. Plik has done it again" (although he also says this before starting) hinting that he may have managed to survive a safari before. However, most would assume that is not possible because of his poor stats.
- He actually has great Small Guns skill, but his health is only marginally higher than average, making him unsuited for surviving prolonged combat.
- He is likely to survive a little longer than the other participant in the Safari, Rip Smithy, as his weapon will do more damage than Smithy's lever-action rifle.
Notable quotes
- "Mr. Plik's really outdone himself this time."
- "Stay close - we'll both be better for it."
- "Good show! Very well fought."
- "Warmest regards."
