Fist Loudstone is a dwarven ranger and a mamber of the Flaming Fist. He can be found in Wyrm's Rock Fortress in Act Three.

“

'Archduke', 'king', it's all the same. It's always some rich prick in charge.

„

— Loudstone, after the ceremony of Gortash's ordaining ends

Involvement

Loudstone is stationed in the Flaming Fist Office together with Fist Broko and Fist Callaway, under the command of Manip Cragbender. He is patrolling the office back and forth, occasionally climbing up the stairs in the far corner of the room.

If spoken to, he talks dismissively about Gortash's coronation and the patriars who gathered to witness the ceremony. If Gortash is defeated, Loudstone keeps the same attitude, worried only about his own wages paid.
