"Indeed, I doubt they suspect their missing sentinel could be used for such a purpose." Meesei said with a grin. I have enough soul gems to make one for all of us; I'll be giving you a necklace like mine, Ahnasha. If everything goes to plan, you will not need it, but you can never be too careful. Everyone else will get weapons. Do you think you will need one, Ariel? I can enchant the effect into any weapon or piece of jewelry, though it is unlikely that both of you will need one. Regardless, I can provide one for you. If not...I could use the gem later to make you an amulet or ring of disease resistance, should you ever decide you want to go to Black Marsh. It will not make you immune, but it would help." She asked. Even giving everyone in her group, who were going to be fighting the skeletons directly, was probably unnecessary, but she saw no reason to take chances.

Lorag was practically hovering over the fight, critiquing every movement they made, though mostly he focused on Fendros. He already knew in what ways Janius tended to mess up. The combat experience and training Fendros had been receiving made him better than if the average person were to pick up a mace, but he still had obvious flaws in his form. "Remember, maces don't behave like swords, their weight distribution is all different.They take just as much skill as swords, just different kinds of skills. For one, they are overall heavier. You can't change the way they are moving near as easy as you can a blade. Once you start a swing, you're pretty much committed to it. Think about that before going for any attack. Your stance and swing is also wrong. Hold it so the head of the mace is at shoulder height, and when you swing, lead with your elbow, then snap your forearm forward mid-swing to give that extra momentum. Like this." He instructed, having no problem interrupting the fight to snatch the mace from Fendros' hand. He held the mace in proper form, then demonstrated the swing a few times so he could see it before giving the weapon back. "Of course, there are a lot more advance tactics than that, and that won't be the only way you'll ever swing, but you got to get the basics down before moving on to that."
