About the book:
I see you approach my campfire equipped in gleaming armor and brandishing a sword blessed by the gods. This is good. It shows you take your quest seriously, albeit naively.
Oh yes, I’ve seen your kind before. Even given a few of you sage advice before sending you on your journeys up mountains, across seas, and into swamps. I can tell you this: Your armor will not shine overlong, and you will find wits and the aid of trustworthy companions far more reliable than a simple blade.
Ah, but you do not wish to hear this kind of counsel… You want to know how to slay the gorgon, how to steal the minotaur’s treasure, how to make the sorcerer’s tower fall…
Well, settle in, my new friend. Throw me a gold coin, and I’ll tell you how to strike down your intended foe, if you get that far.
