Swords Asked Quote by Steve the Noob
““because he was wielding a stone axe and a wooden shield. He was obviously the guard for the second mining team. “Do you favor axes over swords?” I asked him. “Yeah! They do more damage, but are slower to swing.” “I see. When does team #2 head out?” “I think we’re supposed to leave the town about 6 days after the first team leaves.” I nodded, then I talked to Emerson. “Have you ever mined before?” “Never in my life,” replied Emerson. “Oh, it isn’t hard.” “Bob said it’s easy and that he will train us once we arrive.” “I see. I guess Bob has it all planned out.” Emerson nodded. Then I talked to Jack. “Hey, I knew a guy named Jack once.” “You did? I guess Jack is a popular name,” Jack replied. “I guess so. How did you get into mining?” “Er… I was placed here. Initially, I signed up for combat training to become a guard.” “Really?” “Yeah!””
