[QUOTE="Circio, post: 5535893, member: 6670427"] Ardens watches the tiefling, a look of confusion briefly flickering across his face. [I][COLOR=DarkRed]How could someone this ignorant possibly hold any real power?[/COLOR][/I][COLOR=DarkRed][COLOR=White] Ardens thinks to himself. [COLOR=DarkRed][I]I just hope his ignorance does not end up putting me in danger.[/I][COLOR=White] With that thought in mind, he gets up and goes to the barkeep. Instead of using the gold left by the dwarf to buy drinks, he uses his share to get a room upstairs for the night. As he walks upstairs, he turns back to look at his new "party" before shaking his head and heading off to his room. [/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][sblock=treex]DemonicJester's recommendation of looking into superior implement training with the crystal orb is a great recommendation, but you're exactly right about the implement training.
