The Next Step Forward

[Anastasia]

It is indeed the bludgeoning weapons.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Bludgeoning weapons."

[Anastasia]

Nothing happens to those words.

[Iron Dragoon]

Whoops, forgot to reference back to the other post.

"Club, then. Overly inflexible. I can see why the librarians are the way they are."

[Anastasia]

On that the book flies into your hand.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa begins flipping through it, looking for anything that might stand out.

[Anastasia]

Just for clarity, what do you consider standing out?

[Iron Dragoon]

Anything that references powerful spirits or gods in the flesh without causing the normal calamities/wounds to a world, or something that's a significant artifact. More the first, but the second could be noted for later questing.

[Anastasia]

This book is about Padar's Shield War. The shield in question is Padar's Shield, said to be unblockable and grant the graces of a knight, the magic of a paladin and the wisdom of a sage. Two kingdoms went to war over it, ultimately bringing several other nations into it. In the end, the shield was lost and kingdoms were ruined for nothing.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Hmm... Sounds like something Jarem would be interested in...'

Alyssa makes a note to do research into this for later and continues looking, hoping her innate wandering will serve her well as it has in the past.

[Anastasia]

A little more searching brings up another potential book. It is titled, 'Famous Artifacts of War.' Do you wish to take it?

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa reaches for it, waiting for the inevitable question.

[Anastasia]

The question is thus, "Recite the Maxim of the Warrior."

[Iron Dragoon]

Heh, just include which K check it is.

[Anastasia]

Sure. K:R.
