The Lost Initiate

The Lost Initiate is an unmarked quest in Fallout 3.

Detailed walkthrough
During a training exercise in Falls Church, Knight Church, Paladin Hoss, Initiate Pek and an unnamed paladin were separated during a super mutant attack. Knight Church was killed in the initial attack, and Initiate Pek became trapped in an office building while Paladin Hoss and the other paladin were fighting nearby.

Paladin Hoss will inform the Lone Wanderer that Pek has barricaded himself inside a janitor's closet towards the back of the first floor, and request their assistance in reaching the office building where Pek is located. Once complete, the player character is asked to storm the building and rescue Pek, who is cowering in a corner due to a jammed gun. With sufficient Small Guns or Repair skills, Pek's gun can be fixed; regardless of weapon status, Pek will follow the Wanderer until they exit the building and regroup outside with Paladin Hoss.

Rewards

 * If one helps Pek, they will be awarded with XP (amount of XP varies between 250-350 points).
 * If the player character asks Hoss for payment, they will receive caps, but will not be awarded any Karma.
 * If payment is not requested, one will receive good Karma instead. Hoss and Pek will join the player character to help clear out the area.

Bugs

 * Paladin Hoss and Pek suffer from some significant AI bugs when following the player character around. Refer to their pages for more detailed information.
 * Hoss and the unnamed paladin incorrectly have the vault dweller class, which does not have energy weapons tagged. As a result, they deal little damage with energy weapons should they spawn with one.

Recovering the quest

 * If one enters Falls Church but does not start the quest, the two paladins will be dead the next time one returns to Falls Church. It is possible to reset the quest by using a console command in order to recover and complete the quest. Firstly, resurrect, disable and enable Hoss and the other paladin, then start the conversation agreeing to rescue Pek, fight the mutants and enter the building. Pek will be found dead but again, using the command to resurrect, disable and enable, he will reset and be able to start the conversation. Fix his gun and lead him outside, then find and speak to Hoss to complete the quest.
