Precisely. However, I'd like to gather information anyway just in case I'm familiar with the beasts of the area. Some may be more benevolent than they look, and others more malevolent, of course.

A sword would be acceptable, seeing as I'm quite skilled in using one. [ A raise of the brow. ] However, seeing as it is no longer Medieval times, locating a skeleton with a spare sword might be slightly difficult. Can you offer any other suggestions?
