Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 41 Writing

When the trio made their way into the cantina, they were avoided by the brotherhood of swollen faces like their were the plague, even exchanging glances would cause the poor kids to hang their heads down. One could hear the occasional scared gasps and sobs sounding from different tables around the cantina.

Yunan took charge of bringing the food while Leol and Reina found a table for them. They chatted happily about their time in the afternoon and evening, there were even some fellow students who came for some words about how they got that good and what they did for training or how much time they trained to get so good, but the trio only answered that they just worked hard and trained with heart and soul.

On friday morning Yunan and his friends were surprised to find a table full of note books in hall number 5 and all of Debauchery was sitting down and writing something with great focus. The first to notice them was Fae who ran and picked up Reina for a bit of cuddling, it seems this was a very boring task to her so Yunan as the most senior student of Debauchery was obliged to ask about this for his fellows.

"What are we studying today Leader, and why is Fae is this bored? Reina will suffer if all of you get that bored." although Reina herself enjoyed the cuddles. Too much of any good thing is a bad thing therefore whatever is going on with Debauchery it is bad for their health. Leader looked up and glared at Fae who got back to her own seat and sat down with Reina on her lap. Once Fae sat down Leader explained. "We are going to write our training manual and sell it like you suggested, after the whole ordeal with the spies there were many people contacting us through the guild and asking for the training regimen and were offering some hefty sums of money that made Dustan greedy enough to sit on a table and start writing, thanks to that we decided to use this morning to note down the points we are teaching you."

"How is that going? Our training is not something easy to put into words, and there are a few things that you must not add in, because they might even cause deaths. Also you need to never explain the point of each training, you are writing down a training regimen and not a detailed manual" Leol listed the points he thought were the most important.

"That is what we are struggling with" said Bai. "We are trying to make it concise yet we are not getting the point we want to express and it gets worse when we want to cla.s.sify them, my heads hurts and Balin is already snoring, we need to end this, fast!" Yunan felt some pity for Debauchery, they were not the academic types; no, they are more the type to prefer a good fight over reading a book, they are smart, they Just get bored really fast.

Yunan decided to offer some help "why not cla.s.sify the training according to stats, for example put chess into wisdom training, archery into dexterity, running laps in const.i.tution, and sword training into strength, then maybe add an extra page for things like singing to help chanting, or dancing for dodging, there is no need to detail everything we do into the regimen, just basically write down we train in this and this and that"

"You mean we don't have to write down any specifics or all that c.r.a.p to fill the pages?" Balin had woken up from his nap when he heard there was a way to ease the work. Leol was the one to answer him "No one ever said there must be explanation in training manuals, it's just that many write them that way, on the other hand there is a better way to write it fast and not need too many words or explanations"

"Do tell please, we need to make as much money as we can from this before knockoffs enter the market before we do" said the eager dustan with his sparkling eyes on Leol like a treasure chest. "Why not just write down our own schedule" Leol started explaining his point with clear words.

"Write it like this: Monday morning magic theory, monday afternoon sword practice. Tuesday morning chanting, tuesday afternoon dagger practice. Wednesday morning planing lessons, wednesday afternoon dancing lessons. Thursday morning strategy lessons, thursday afternoon archery. Friday morning general knowledge, friday afternoon s.h.i.+eld and block lessons, rest of the week free time" the hall was kind of quiet after Leol stopped talking.

"It can't be that easy, no one in their right minds would pay for that" said Balin, while Leader had a flash of enlightenment " no ever said they needed a detailed manual, as elite explorers we would expect anyone that would read this to be very aware of the point and the way we do things, besides many will pay for this because we are elites, what do you think Bai?"

"I am in favour of adding a few things to flavour up the booklet, like a few descriptions but that is all, like you said Leader we are elites and we don't cater to the ma.s.ses, we only think about the elites and they would know what we mean by what is inside the manual. So i guess we are done with the writing part"

A few moments later the hall was clear and a dance lesson was conducted to allow everyone to relax for the whole morning. Debauchery traded a whole morning of fun for a half an hour of a dull task that they did not even complete. The hall was filled laughter as everyone danced in every way they knew how to.
