Diary

My new torc!
I am not normally one for box founds. However I found a torc in a minotaur box that I will be using for a while.
You hang a bronze and alexandrite torc around your neck.
It increases my influence (INF) stat by two ranks. My magic item use has also been enhanced by two ranks. I suppose these areas of enhancement
would better benefit spell casters. However, influence does have an impact on warcries. So I will be wearing it when going out hunting and charging it up in
the Adventurer's Guild.

Finally - I can disarm minotaurs
Well at last I can disarm minotaur warriors with less effort. I was having to go after
the spell casting minotaur magus. They were a lot easier to disarm but a lot harder to find...having to go through the
labyrinth is no easy task. However
I find that by removing the left arm of the lesser minotaurs, I can disarm them. And they have the common decency to pick up their weapon which
means i can disarm the same minotaur again and again. At age 76 and 46 ranks in disarm I am having about a 30% success rate, which - trust me - was a lot
better than before. A little patience and stance dancing and I am managing to disarm relatively effectively.

Lets hear it for Redux..again
Here is the clearest evidence of the benefits of Redux:
In an awe inspiring display of combat mastery, a grizzled minotaur warrior engages you in a furious dance macabre, spiralling into a blur of strikes and ripostes!
A grizzled minotaur warrior swings a lustrous steel battle axe at you!
AS: +395 vs DS: +157 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +80 = +350
... and hits for 35 points of damage!
Banged your right shin.
That'll raise a good welt.
A grizzled minotaur warrior swings a lustrous steel battle axe at you!
AS: +395 vs DS: +140 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +89 = +376
... and hits for 37 points of damage!
Slash to your chest!
That heart's not broken, it's only scratched.
A grizzled minotaur warrior swings a lustrous steel battle axe at you!
AS: +395 vs DS: +140 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +60 = +347
... and hits for 34 points of damage!
Smooth slash to your hip!
Nice crunching sound.
A grizzled minotaur warrior swings a lustrous steel battle axe at you!
AS: +395 vs DS: +135 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +82 = +374
... and hits for 34 points of damage!
Neck vertebrae snap.
You are stunned for 1 rounds!
I had to berserk out of the stun and ring to town but I got to my herbs with 56 health points remaining. OK so I incurred a lot of damage. However
can you imagine many other professions hunting in offensive, with no spells, being hit four successive multi-strike times by someone with an AS over 240
point above your DS and still live to tell the tale?

Disarmers Disarmers - my kingdom for a Disarmer
I am having major problems find a disarmer above 51 ranks. It's going to be a stuggle to get the last 11 ranks!
- 45 - Today is Niiman, day 17 of the month Koaratos in the year 5108..
Scum
How I hate thieves!
"You notice Albacora reach into your gak wool pouch and remove some acantha leaf!"
Luckily this moron only got my leaf. Just as well i closed all other containers before going to the park for spells.
- 46 - Today is Restday, day 20 of the month Koaratos in the year 5108..
On the receiving end of a tackle!
[Roll result: 309 (open d100: 186)]
Sleevina hurls herself at you and connects!
Sleevina hammers you to the ground. Ouch. 39 hits! Sleevina quickly jumps to her feet.

Klidel acknowledges new status
It felt quite good to walk up to Klidel and be greeted this way:
Klidel nods to you and says, "Greetings, Master at Arms Bremerial!"
And of course it felt just as good to have acknowledgement from the other masters.
Khalea greets you warmly and says, "Hail, fellow Master at Arms Bremerial!"
