[Chapter 2: The Three Pillars of Strength]

Chapter 2: The Three Pillars of Strength

While the ideal is to establish and maintain order so that we may find peace, the question is then how do we go about achieving such? The answer I have observed during my lifetime has been "Strength". Those possessing a strong will, mind, and body have always been able to shape the world to their liking, thus:

To find peace, one must be strong enough to obtain it.

Mare,

I'll see this submitted into the files- if you have anything on the beast, let me know. If it is valuable information, we'll see if we can get you some well deserved payment.

If you don't, but feel that you could provide useful services in banishing it- contact Sergeant Ludovich. I'll vouch for your usefulness.

Chapter 1: The Ideals of Order

It can be generally observed that tranquility and progress are found when there is stability. Stability in turn comes from the presence of maintained order, as when chaos is present, there is disruption. These observable facts apply to ourselves, to our communities, and to the greater world around us- thus the ideal of order is as follows:

By establishing and maintaining order, we find peace within ourselves and in our communities.

 

o7 mate- good job

It is concerning to me- that I would not feel anything at the passing of my friend, mentor, and commanding officer Joachim. But here are, I feel the same as did five days ago.

I don't even feel angry, like I expected I might. So I wonder if this what the world does men and woman- that we become so used to death we won't bat an eye at it.

Deputy Chief Scribe Al-Samar,

Before any transaction is to be placed to settle debts, I request that a copy of the contracts terms be sent to the Garrison to be read over. Additionally, information regarding what he is in debt for and in how much should be sent as well.

Could there be a static water reward added to board quests? Between the gloom and the general toughness of some quests, it would help out- especially when the quest itself might not drop any waters (looking at you pit of sacrifice).

Taking a short efu break, i'll be back in a couple weeks though.

Hey, so the ice drake quest is a bit much for a level 7 max- The group I went with crumpled immediately. It should either be made harder for level 9 max or it should be made easier for groups who contain levels 5-7 level characters. As it stands, I think this quest is more a level 9 max that was probably too easy, but is definitely too hard to be a level 7 max

Suggested changes for a level 7 max:
-Lower Kobold and Ice Drake Ab and AC
-Lower Freezing DC from Ice drake attacks

Allow for quarterstaffs to be used with weapon finesse. Since it doesn't apply the 1.5 strength modifier to itself anymore due to it being a dual-wield weapon, I think it would be fitting that it can be used by Dex characters.

 I would like to suggest that some of the more useless companions give passive buffs to their Ranger/Druids. This would provide more customization to ranger and Druid.

For example, while a ranger has their hawk  companion out, they get a buff to their spot and search equal their level. 

Suggestions for passive buffs:

*X: Level
Crocodile: 1+ deflection vs piercing
Dire Rat:  +X ms
Fox: + x/2 set trap,
Giant Spider:  +x/3 vs poison
Goat: 1+ fort, 5% ms
Hawk: +x spot
Hyena: +x/2 listen
Leopard: +x/2 hide
Lion: +x/2 search
Lizard: 10% fire immunity
Scarab: +x/2 vs disease
Tortoise: +1 natural ac
Viper: Use poison
Wild Dog:  1% physical immunity

Greetings Headmaster,

In regards to the chair incident, I would like to ask for some specific details that I do not have related to the case.

- How much was each chair in cost exactly?
- Who, exactly, was the buyer of those chairs? Was it you or another of your guild?

Thank you for your assistance,
~ Janissary Aseph

I got to interact with Kragg multiple times while going through characters. From Benny to Aelar, to Ferric- each interaction showed a different side to Kragg, and each time it was fun.

Looking forward to the next character, Dug. Hats off to you for this one.

First, I would like to say that I'm making this suggestion from a place of ignorance:
- I don't know how hard these things are to run
- I don't know what sort of toll it places in the server or dms
- And I don't know if there are other variables that further the difficulty of these sorts of events
- I have only been in server for a few weeks, so maybe they happen more often then I think

All that aside:
I think it would be great to see more large scale invasions on the surrounding gates/areas. I've always thought these invasions were fun to take part in and helped contribute to the flow of questing (i.e people die, lose their level, and need to spend time doing more mid-range or lower questing.).

Order in All Things
-------------------------------
I must confess that there has been an issue of late- that I have been neglectful in adhering to the principles of my own philosophy, and for reasons I did not expect. It has been my enjoyment for my work that has cause these issues, for I have been focusing far too much upon my duties as a Janissary and not enough oh myself- thus, resulting in a temporary imbalance within my life. While I love tending to my duties and working with my fellow soldiers, this imbalance will cause only suffering should I continue to indulge myself. It is through order in all things do we find peace within ourselves- that our suffering is prevented.
As such, I will be taking a slight step back from my work and make enough time for myself - after all, my fellow soldiers are quite capable. I can trust them to pick up on my slight slack.
