Lord Preen: I shalt not venture down there. What if we art attacked?
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwHxq2MxcK
AM: Fear not, thy Lord! For we shalt have weapons, the inventions that shape our realm Behold my creations, intricate marvels of engineering and firepower soon to be propelled by the elusive Suspensium.

Ser Draconis: (sounding pleased by the subject) Weapons indeed have a place in history. My dragon bone sphere, carved from the remains of a legendary beast , stands as a testament to thy valour and honour.

Lord Preen: allow me to introduce my masterwork, a handcrafted clockwork bow. A masterpiece that combines precision and speed perfect for a nobleman of my standing.

Protagonist: (firm but gentle) Violence, my friends, is the language of barbarians. We must remember that our purpose is not in the power of our weapons but in the wisdom of our choices.

Ser Draconis: I must protest. Sending the two in a small craft alone is a risk we can not take.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoq3abzyEk
AM: Ser Draconis, we must seize this opportunity without delay. Our pursuit of knowledge demands it.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnfEEN0Nyb
AM: Trust in our companions’ capabilities, and thine wisdom.
