Chapter 4

Ishuli says 'The troubles of decisions is that we must make them.'

Ishuli smiles happily.

Thraininkh closes his eyes and focuses himself, centering his powers of
Revelation and letting them flow through him.

Thraininkh exhales halfway and stops, holding the breath while his beard
quivers to stillness.

Thraininkh opens his eyes and looks up at you, his jaw set anew.

You say 'My feet have always walked the path of Vengeance.'

Ishuli says 'And so the path shall be walked.'

As your resolve flows through you, you begin to feel refreshed.

You have been imbued with the gifts of Vengeance.

Ishuli says 'I hope to see the fluency through which you use it.'

Thraininkh flexes his hands and relaxes them, feeling new Knowledge course
through his veins.

You say 'There will be new studies te undertake, te be sure.'

Ishuli says 'Without doubt.'

Ishuli says 'And study is always enjoyable.'

You say to Ishuli 'With this study, my others studies should also advance.'

A joyful smile graces Ishuli's face as she looks toward you.

You say 'Soon I'll press inte the bowels of the Mountain.'

Ishuli says 'All things come in time. And with the path of Vengeance, your
vengeance is all the more assured.'

You say to Ishuli 'Also, your previous gift was most ... educational.'

A wry little smile crosses Ishuli's face.

Ishuli says 'Frail, of course, but I am glad it was educational.'

You say to Ishuli 'Full disclosure, I broke it tryin' te smith it.'

Thraininkh smiles wistfully.

You say 'Too proud, I was.'

Ishuli chuckles politely.

Ishuli says 'A perfectly valid use.'

Ishuli says 'Experiment often results in failure.'

Ishuli says 'But we often learn from it as much as we do success.'

You say 'But..., the fragments yielded more knowledge than the whole.'

Ishuli says 'Interesting.'

You say 'The inner hilt, and the lower blade had more runes. Even older.'

You say 'More study is needed, but I think those runes compliment some of the
more modern ones on the outer blade.'

You say 'Translation may be possible.'

Ishuli says 'Interesting. I have met a few interested in hoping to learn the
rune-work of the Dwarves.'

Thraininkh begins to move his hands about, clearly exited at the prospects.

You nod.

You say 'The Hall of Remembrance is full of runes older than our modern
knowledge. I wonder what I could learn from them'

You drink wine from a bottle of 'Arvam's Passion'.
You feel tipsy.

You say 'or what I will learn.'

You nod wisely.

Ishuli says 'Hopefully as much as history has to offer.'

Ishuli nods sagely.
