The Next Step Forward

[Iron Dragoon]

"Unpolished stone? She's rather more like a bared blade. Serrated, too. And it could be that some of her attitude could be due to a lack of Jarem in her personal life. In any case, let's start our research."

[Anastasia]

'You know, you don't have to be a bitch right back, Queen." Jarem says, "Yeah, she's unpleasant, but she's not all bad."

Emily puts away her book and adds in, "Oh! Why don't you say that you like her in the first place?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"To a degree, I did. Don't forget that I'm the head of my Order, and if I roll over or allow attitude or slights to pass, it infers things about the entirety of the order. Similarly to how the lead soldier tends to be the hardest."

[Anastasia]

"Sure, but she's not one of your Guild, either," Jarem responds, straightening up. "Anyway, come on, third floor."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods and follows.

[Anastasia]

Thus you reach the third floor. Jarem cracks his knuckles and says, "Alright, we're where we're supposed to be. Start looking for titles that might be useful. When you see one you like, take that book and read it."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa begins to search!

[Anastasia]

Okay, elaborate on what sort of titles you're looking for.

[Iron Dragoon]

I don't really know. Something like 'the war of <relic>' or 'battle of the ring/amulet/ect' maybe.

[Anastasia]

The first book you find that falls into that range is 'Padar's Shield War.' You can try and take this book to read it if you like or continue searching.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa picks it up. If nothing else, it might lead to a different relic later.

[Anastasia]

The book does not move. Instead a voice speaks aloud. "Blade and axe, rapier and dagger, mace and club. Which of these does a lich fear?"

[Iron Dragoon]

At work, so no books on hand. K check? Think it's bludgeoning, IIRC.

[Anastasia]
