Looking at all the weapons around him, Mark found himself wondering if this was really necessary. He did not have any combat experience, so he ruled out most of the weapons. Instead, he looked for items he could use to create runes with. After some searching he managed to find a tool belt with an assorted hammers and chisels. These would enable him to physically carve out runes, making them much more powerful. He also found a sturdy looking knife, which he could use to carve. He hoped he would have enough time to do so. To buy him some more time, he picked up a sturdy looking wooden shield and started to carve out several runes on it.
