On the 6th of June you will have fully read the tome.
You would discover an ancient common spell among the ancient holy orders: Divine Protection
This enables you to place a shield around either yourself or another character for two turns making them immune to physical damage yet this shield will dispel the moment the target attempts to inflict damage upon another individual. Due to your stats, you are going to feel incredibly and both physically weakened after casting the spell.
**Rhogar Shieldheart Would approach his forge with the ingots he just got from glacius, and stick them in the furnace until they were hot enough to mold and he would meld them together to make one long ingot, afterwords he would take it to the forge and begin hammering it into a shape he was happy with, occasionally heating it during the process, afterwords he would place it on the grinder and begin making the edge as well as the blade, he would also mark it with his symbol towards the base of the blade. After this was done he would heat it up to a very high temperature and quench it in his tank, cooling it quickly. after it's been quenched he heats the blade up to a lower temperature and quenches it again, he does this several times until the blades extremely hard yet just flexible enough to be usable in combat. After this was done he would fit a simple wooden handle on the blade as well as a hand guard and pommel, then hold it in his hands and give it a few swings to make sure it's balanced.
From this point on Glacius will be doing this in his early day to day routine
Physical Training: Glacius will now start every morning with a fair breakfast of bread and various fruits (If possible) and work out, doing a series of push ups, sit ups, lifting of various objects, running and on occasion freely swinging his sword about to get a good condition for it's weight. Dextrous/Perceptive/Mental Focus: In his idle time the apostle will be doing various odd and focus required tasks such as flipping a coin between his fingers and back, practicing various moves with his sword and stabbing a blunt stick between his fingers as fast as he possibly can go with out hitting his finger.
Prayer: And to finish off his early day routine he will kneel down before his church, praising the light and ask for it's blessing and protection for what troubles may come his way.
Please do note Im simply putting this up for the record and don't expect results right away at all and that Glacius reads his Tome before he goes to sleep.
**Glacius would hold up the ancient tomb and begin reading from it, passage after passage in his commanding Italian accent filled voice up until a strange magical energy overtakes the man, turning the book into nothing more than dust and leaving Glacius's strength to instantly increase.
**Glacius would disrobe and lay down across the floor, performing a series of sit ups, one by one slowly lifting himself up with his abdominal muscles, doing this for a good 30 reps. With this out of the way the priest finds himself slightly tired with a "Spent" feeling in his gut. He however instead of stopping flips himself over into a push up position, spreading his arms and slowly dipping himself in and out, bringing his face a mere inch or so from the stone floor of his chapel every time for a good 20 reps.
**With both his arms and abs feeling the welcoming burn of being used in such a way the holy man decides its time to work on his cardio, walking outside of the city walls and breaking out into a slow jog, running beyond the wooden walls of the outside and well beyond the trees, moving foot after foot across the soft ground. He makes it beyond the river's bridge before stopping, having a good sweat and labored breathing going. "Tomorrow I shall go further..." he'd state making a mental image of where he stopped last.
Later
**High Priest Glacius slowly kneels down before the fountain, dabbing his fingers into the water and touching his forehead with it "I pray to you, I worship you and I will fight for you, may the light be my guiding lantern through the darkness so that I may find hope, let those damned beast men soon fall to your luminescent properties and may I be a tool in your efforts....I....Glacius Steelborne, shall spread your wisdom, shed blood of the unholy and die for you..."
**Glacius slowly sits down at his table, spreading his right hand out and expanding the digits as far as they go possibly go only to pick up a blunt ended wooden stick, proceeding to slowly stab it between the free space of each digit, back and forth he went through with this action, every pass bringing with it more and more speed up until he knicked his middle finger, no damage was done but it certainly hurt leaving the apostle to hiss in pain. The man shook in minor irritation and proceeded to do it again, performing this again and again regardless of failure for a good 20 minutes, attempting to focus his hand into the dextrous divits of this task.
**High Priest Glacius comes back with two oak rods, both the length of a fair Pole arm "These are meant for church construction, but they will serve as training tools today..."
**High Priest Glacius nods, placing his staff against the stone wall of the church and offering the Priestess one of the wooden rods
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller grabs the wooden rod. (Oh my )
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller puts her right hand further up the shaft of the wooden rod and her left lower, she rests it close to her hip.
**High Priest Glacius nods "Right, now hold the stick in front of you, both hands grasping at the middle but thumb length apart"
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller adjusts her hands towards the middle and extends her thumbs. Priestess Emily Truthcaller says "Like this?"
High Priest Glacius says "Now, spread your hands apart to where your thumbs are a few inches away from touching"
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller spreads her hands apart to the point he asked. Priestess Emily Truthcaller says "Like this?" High Priest Glacius says "Yes."
High Priest Glacius says "Now, Im going to get into the same position and I want you to go for a wide swing at my side from the right."
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller her hands staying in the same spot, she swings wide to his right in an arc.
**High Priest Glacius promptly brings his own stick forward, assuming the same position he had instructed his apprentice to take (Before she swung obviously) after having registered that she was swinging Glacius would twist his arms to the right, and putting his stick into a up down position, allowing her staff to smack against the length of it with an audible wooden bonk.
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller holds it there awaiting further instructions. High Priest Glacius says "Do you see how easy that was for me?"
Priestess Emily Truthcaller says "Yes, I did." Priestess Emily Truthcaller says "All you had to do was move your spear into an up down patter and stopped the blow." High Priest Glacius says "And of course, gesture myself towards where I was pointing my staff"
High Priest Glacius says "Now...watch how I follow up, dont worry I will do it slow as to not harm you, just hold your staff where it is as if you are still just hitting my staff."
**High Priest Glacius slowly thrusts his spear holding arms outwards, causing the staff to lightly bonk her staff away then following up by pointing his staff towards Emily from his left side and thrusting it forward slowly as to touch her gut
High Priest Glacius says "If this was a spear, you would have a wound now." **Priestess Emily Truthcaller repeating what she was taught she holds it vertically to the ground.
High Priest Glacius says "Take a defensive pose, I shall do you, I will be swinging for your right."
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller taking a defensive pose she has the spear to her right side. High Priest Glacius says "No, hold it in the middle like I first taught you and as I swing transition."
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller holds the spear in the defensive format he taught her. (Infront)
**High Priest Glacius brings his staff up and swings it towards her at a wide and high arc **Priestess Emily Truthcaller seeing his attack she holds it vertically to her right awaiting the connection and then pushing it back. Pulling it back and switching it to a horizontal form facing him and then lightly thrusting.
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller readies her spear in a defensive position spear in front both hands near the middle.
**High Priest Glacius takes up the very same defensive position
**High Priest Glacius immediately paces around Emily, stepping forward and thrusting his spear up towards her upper chest
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller seeing as he is thrusting at her chest she pushes her spear up connecting with his and using that momentum to give another small push in attempts to raise it even higher.
**High Priest Glacius would have his staff knocked upwards, but Glacius knew what to do here, letting his arms fall down, twisting his staff the opposite way and aiming the blunt end of the stick for her thicc left thigh.
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller she would attempt to pivet her staff vertically and hold it to the ground of course since he had the advantage here it wouldn't be directly up and down but at an angle. (Your counter was faster so my defense is a little off)
**High Priest Glacius promptly pulled back, twisting his staff around in his hands and going for a shallow swing towards her right side
**Priestess Emily Truthcaller Having the position advantage she can easily transition her rod to her right side vertically awaiting connection and pushing Glacius's staff back the way he swung leaving an opening and piveting her own rod horizontally and attempting at a thrust to the middle of his chest whilst the opportunity sits.
This lesson included countering, polearm defence and attacking.
