Chapter 69.2: Dawn of War (2)
"What do you think? Try to raise radiance? Or spend points on skills?"
If Mudhead had an opinion on things, he was being stubborn and not telling anyone. Ben had run over to the livery stables to try and catch Mattias before he left, but the old courier and Beatrice had already headed out. He'd left Ben a note, and a key.
"Ben - Sorry I missed you. Beatrice and I are out patrolling the roads and helping some of the folks get their herds out of town before the fireworks start. Bad business and I don't like it. Keep low. A courier shouldn't take sides in things like this. From talking to the General Themise, it seems all the workers are sidelined anyway. A good thing. I'm taking some dispatches to the capital, not sure when I'll be back. Mudhead's all yours, God help you. Feel free to make use of the other room as it's a bit more comfortable than your hidey hole upstairs. Back someday. - Mattias."
Ben would miss him, as well as Beatrice. For now, he'd have to figure things out on his own. He dearly wished he knew more about what his new class would bring. He wanted badly to pick up more crafting skills. But he also wanted every advantage he could get, and if there were small bonuses or skills for having a couple of stats at level 10, that was the priority, along with raising his aspect.
He put the 300 EP for skills into Flames of the Phoenix. This brought the aspect to level 3, and gave him 300 towards CHR. He received a message about new spells that immediately justified that decision.
That left him with his CSP to spend. There were a few skills he'd wanted forever including Fast Talk and Jumping Jack. The latter especially seemed useful now for leaping on and off a horse, which was painful if done wrong. He still remembered that disastrous dismount that nearly got him killed by Harmony.
As always, one thought of the girl spun him off into memories of those few days. When was he going to see her again? A trip to Franklin House was sounding better and better.
He turned his thoughts back to spending points. Those skills would cost him 8 CSP. He went ahead and bought the second level in Magic eyes as well. With a few points left, he picked up blacksmithing and silversmithing as tertiary skills, and rune carving as primary. He wished he had a month to just sit and tinker with things.
He had just finished up when he heard someone knocking on Mattias's door. He went down the ladder, shouting "Mattias is on the road."
He was surprised at the sight of General Themis, resplendent in her helm and cape. Behind her was a squire holding a large book under one arm and a set of scales in the other hand. "Then I guess you'll have to do. I didn't expect him to still be around, but I'd hoped. You'll have to do. Follow behind my squire. I'll have messages going back and forth from here to Rowan, and you’ll be riding back and forth until this little skirmish is officially over."
