Chugging from the tap, eating with my fists.<br /><br />It's tradition among fighters who've run out of basic consumables and forgotten what utensils are.<br /><br />Regardless, I will press the book upon our lone wordsman, and as he reads will begin packing the statues away for the trip back to Stavanger. Would we be able to make it today, or is dark coming too soon?<br /><br />We might want to bring one or two of the hirelings who's in fighting shape as well.

And we've used up those salves preposterously fast.<br /><br />We may actually get more benefit out of trying to hire on one or two more men instead.<br /><br />Obviously this is very contingent on the value of both the book and the statues.<br /><br />Speaking of, let's take a crack at the book.
