[ +- ] Daedulus conversation

The halfling Daebulus is perhaps an unusual individual to be the Master of Arms for a prestigious institution like the School of Seven Stones, but if you're looking for someone that knows his weapons, their strengths, their weaknesses, their unusual uses in a pinch, and a couple dozen other surprising bits of trivia, he's your man.
As Yelnar approaches, he turns with the usual sardonic smile and penetrating blue-eyed gaze he is known for. "Heard you were on one of the exploration teams," he says in greeting. "Glad to see you 'fore you go, lad." Thinking over the names Yelnar provides, Daebulus rubs a hand over his close-cropped beard. "Sure. Know some of these folk, worked with some of them. Wait... Ephwrath? The dwarf? Never seen him use a weapon. Can't help you there. The others, well..."
He describes in clear detail the strengths and weaknesses of each of the team members affiliated with the school when it comes to feats of arms. Where their holes are, where they're best used tactically. "Don't know what they'll tell you their preferred weapons are, but here are a few suggestions if they're lacking inspiration," he says, listing off a few weapons of interest. "Go talk to Flint, on Cobbler's Street, down near the Grainmarket Square. He does fine work, and he's a friend of mine, and I'm sure he'll have what you need."
He takes a step back, looking up the much taller Yelnar. "And you, lad? What do you need for the journey?" From the knowing look he gives, it's clear he doesn't just mean weapons and training exercises.
Following Daebulus' advice, Yelnar makes sure he has one weapon for each of his companions according to the Halflings recommendations, figuring it won't be a bad thing if there is a backup weapon to their own. For himself, he grabs a Bardiche for a Polearm, a Greatsword, a Longsword, and a Heavy Wooden Shield. For Ember, he decides on a Light Crossbow and a Light Mace. He asks if Flint could have them delivered to the appropriate place tomorrow.
After he has carried out the tasks at hand, he slowly makes his way towards his families' residence in the city. He slowly ascends the stairs to his Fathers study, knocks on the door, and waits to be asked to enter before going in.
"Hello Father, I assume you will have heard I am to be a part of expedition?" He pauses, waiting for an acknowledgement before seeing his fathers usual expression of impatience. "It appears we will be heading straight for the area near the Summer Estates, do you have any messages you would like me to pass on to Mother if she is still there?"

I have not really considered which of any of Yelnar's 3 brothers might still be in the city. I imagine his youngest brother (still older than he is) might have graduated since the closing of the wards, but his other brothers could easily have been abroad for other business.Last edited March 21, 2019 10:10 am
