CONGRADULATIONS

You stand as best you can, wobbly, out of breath, battered and bruised yet you stand victorious. You look around and notice that many warriors are looking on as if you were the man of the hour. Glory is yours and it is sweet. You spin your body slowly in all directions taking in the view of your peers. Smiles of your acomplishment come from every direction. But they do not last long. Smiles suddenly turn to wide eyed disbelievers and they are not looking at you anylonger. You glance over your sholder and once again you see Lord Bosk standing there as fresh as the morning air smiling at you.

Not bad kid, ready for round 2. I told you this would hurt.

You take one long deep breath and slowly let it out shaking your head knowing you have spent most of your energy on the first battle, yet you ready yourself for the next onslought.

Lord Bosk smiles and sheaths his weapon. You have no need of my training, You already know what you need to know. A good warrior knows that the battle is never over and is ready no matter what his condition. Also a good warrior knows when a fight is over and this one is over. Now if you don't mind can you help me pick up the pieces of my mirror and take them over to the wizards place to have them fix it.

You agree and walk with the Demi-god and his broken mirror. Once you arive at the wizards place you both have them repair the mirror and then are on your way back to the tournament grounds.

Now if you have a moment I want to reward you for besting me in battle. Lord Bosk hands you a sheathed 2 handed sword. I call this sword Venger. It served me well when I was mortal. But now I feel it can serve your purpose just as well. Now it didn't do what it can do now and as a warrior you must follow my rule on the uses this sword is capable of. In battle you can NOT use any of its special abilities if you do then the sword will return to me. In non battle it can do these following things. +4 to hit and +4 to damage, vorple on a roll of natural 20 (no plus bonus added), Cure lite wounds 3 times per day, create food and water 1/day, Its possessor is immune to fear, If stolen it will return to its owner within 1 day, pass wall 1/day.

There could be more to it but me being a Barbarian, well, that was about all I could tolerate. Use it wisely and Maybe one day you can help train me. I must go now, He then disappears from sight.

You smile and look over your new weapon and then decide to go on with your travels.

This will take you Back.
