Chukka-Jee

Chukka-Jee is an Argonian who can randomly be encountered near the Bright-Throat Wayshrine. Along with J'ram-Hei, she is trying to explain the rules of teeba-hatsei to the [[Online::Wood Elf|Wood Elf]], Gwinithor.

Dialogue[edit]

As you approach the trio, you'll hear:

Chukka-Jee : "No, no. We only cover the ball with mud when points are scored too quickly."

Or

Chukka-Jee : "Strike the wall, and you gain one point. Unless it's raining, of course, and then you are awarded two."
J'ram-Hei : "The game is lost if the ball passes through the highest hoop. Unless the moons are both more than halfway full."
Gwinithor : "I just don't get it! What kind of game has this many rules? How do you remember them all?"

Speak to her, and she'll say:

"I could waste seasons with this kuuda, and still he would never learn the ways of teeba-hatsei."
Teeba-hatsei?
"Dryskins call it hip and tail ball. Two teams of five pass a ball with only their hips, elbows, or tails. When the ball hits the opposing team's mud wall, a point is scored.
And then, of course, there are the two reed hoops."
Reed hoops?
"One hoop is thirty hands high, the other fifty. Hit the ball into the lower hoop, and your team is awarded three points. Hit it through the upper hoop, and the game is concluded. The team with the higher score wins."
Sounds simple enough.
"Well, the basics of the game are, yes. But without knowing all the rules, one can never hope to truly succeed in playing such a sport.
Why the Wood Elf even wants to play, I do not know."
I could try to explain it to him.
"If you are so willing, then by all means."

If you explain the rules to Gwinithor correctly, the following conversation will happen:

Gwinithor "All right, so hitting the wall earns you one point. The lower hoop earns you three points and the upper hoop ends the game. Isn't that right?"
Chukka-Jee "Finally, he gets it! Very well then. We will explain the other rules as we play. Perhaps that will be easier."

When she is spoken to again she will thank you for the help.

"If only you would arrive every time a dryskin wishes to play our game. I erect the spine of gratitude, beeko."

Otherwise, she will quickly cut off Gwinithor's explanation.

Gwinithor "The only way to score a point is to hit the ball through a hoop—."
Chukka-Jee "Wrong! If you cannot even learn the basics of hip and tail ball, you cannot play the sport. Now leave us be."

Chukka-Lee will shrug and say:

"Do not feel pity for the Wood Elf. He had many opportunities to learn, and failed every one."
