Looking to board ship...

Spear

After you and Franz returned to the pub, he took you out in the small back lot. Sitting up a target that he made from a old table top, the legs had been shattered off years ago. “The back lot is a little small... but this is just to show you how to do this.” The tall black haired human explained, as he back you up to the short gray stone wall. Taking the spear out he showed it to you, letting you look it over for a long moment. It had a short silvery white wooden shaft, this spear is a small light throwing weapon (in general this is a small short spear about one meter in size, which looks more like a battle dart).

It had a glittering silver spear head, that looked almost like he was was glass even your dagger blade didn't look so smooth and perfect. And it was the finest thing you had ever seen, until Kildarn had taken out the Elfin chain-mail armor. “Now what you need to do...” Franz explained slowly, as you held the spear amazed at how light it felt in your hands. “Grasp the hand hold in the center, lift it up to shoulder lever and make sure it will balance in your palm.” Slowly you did as the big human instructed, surprised to feel the feather light spear balance in your palm. “Now grip the shaft firmly, holding the spear just beside your head. Twist your body cock your arm back slightly, aim just above the top of the center mark of the target. And then turning your body throw the spear swiftly at the target, you don't need to throw as hard as you can just focus on the target.”

“But it's so light... I don't think it will do much damage.” You complain doing as the tall human explained, lifting the spear and throwing it overhanded at old table top. Your body proving amazingly graceful and stronger than you knew that it could be. As you hurl the spear with startling accuracy, yet what happens next was even more startling. As the spear flew through the air, there was a loud electrical sounding 'Crackle' as suddenly there were five spears in the air. And the movement of those spears flashed moving at blinding speeds, as you watched stunned the five spears leaped across the distance. Punching through heavy wooden table top like it was paper, it was stunning there was no way you had thrown it that hard. “Wha...” He start to babble looking over at the grinning Franz, even as you watch the five spears vanish and a moment later it reappears in your hand. Shocking you so much, that you actually down it on the ground, as it dawn on you that this is a magical weapon of rare power and expense. “Gods... Franz... I can't take this its... it must be worth a small fortune!”

“And its been sitting in a box collecting dust for ten years... because of bitter memories. It is loot that means nothing to me... I would never have seen it again. Therefore it has no value to me... take it and make some good memories with it...” Franz snorted walking away from you, heading back into the kitchen of the pub. “Keep practicing.” He called back over his shoulder, as you look at the magical weapon in your hand. Later that day Arlen comes in with a note from the watch Captain, he had found a ship and booked passage on it for three of you.

Later Oolok also returns, his appearance does not inspire optimism...

So, you have received weapons and armor. You must leave the city of Skelweerd soon...
