Rothe purchases the bastard sword, and is surprised by how light it feels in his hands. It is truly a fine work of craftsmanship. When asked for information on it's maker however, the shopkeeper simply shrugs.
Rothe reads through The Skirmisher's Guide:
Tactics. The vital turning point of any battle. With them 100 men may best 1000, and without them lose to half their number. But many fail to realise the applications of tactics in a smaller battle. Bandits may flank travellers, and ambushes are often set by goblins. The trick with these smaller battles is to read the flow of the battle. Constant vigilance is needed, and the ability to read a battle well, for skirmishes change much more quickly than any clash of armies. The key to such battles is adaptability - to change and match your own plans to counter your opponents. An enemy may retreat, singling out a chasing member of the group, who is then surrounded. This is a perfect example. Seize upon even your own weakness, and turn it into success, and all shall be well. [Tactics +1] [Perception +1]
Kim reads a begginer's introduction to magic: Mechanisms:
........ [Magic devices +2] Although the magic actually taught is minimal, as with the mechanics, the combination of the two intruiges you. you gain a much better understanding of how the two may combine.
The shopkeeper goes back into the stores again. After a minute of rustling, he emerges with two staffs, one a sturdy oak staff, and the other mildly resembling a broomstick without the bristles.
'here yous go. Managed to find these out back. You'll have to decide among yourselves who gets which though. As for the rope, I got it here for yous.'Sir Lunnar prays (1+3+1) There is no feeling of response beyond those of a mundane prayer.

He also has a pair of warped wings and a serpent springing from the base of his spine, who acts almost like a disobediant child. Kim typically wears a hooded cloak in a futile attempt to hide his inhuman features.
Kim is sociable despite his horrorific appearance. He has found work as a mercenary, due to his (un)natural strength and toughness. Kim hopes to be heroic enough that people ignore his monstrous traits and take him for who he is.
