The night went by without any interruption. Walker took the first watch and was keptpany by Gill who was taking some of the regr wither spike arrows and slowly poking holes in the arrow heads. His goal was to set them up so that the holes would be opened when he fired an arrow to release the sleeping oils from the dreand sheep.


    This was a time consuming task but Walker got the chance to see Gil at work and shaping an arrow. It was also a good way for Walker to learn what Gil could and could not do while they traveled. Since Gil could make an arrow that could spread a poison like the sleeping oil from the dreand sheep, then he should also be able to spread other things.


    Walker knew that the paralyzing poison was something that needed to make blood contact. But there were certain poisons that they may encounter that could be used in the same way as the sleeping oil. It would be an ideal option forrge groups of monsters or even to throw off a dangerous single monster.


    Gil and Walker had easily grown tired and switch with Su. She was more than happy to take over after the two had spent their time walking the area and also working on the arrow head. Little did they know but Su had also stayed up to watch the progress. She was very interested in the opportunity to be able to settle some disputes without a battle in the future.


    Walker woke up to the smell of roasting horned rabbit and a nudge from Midnight who was eagerly awaiting someone to cut her some breakfast. Remey? What are you doing up before the sun?" Walker knew that Midnight and Onyx had taken thest watch so it was normal for them to wake him up. But seeing Remey awake was a slight surprise.


    "I was thinking about the style Herder used with the whips. I gained such a small amount of information and can''t fill up the journal entry. I know you use that frost whip so…" Remey trailed off with her face turning a little red.


    "I bet knowing a style to partner with my frost whip[ would make me much stronger." Walker pretended that he didn''t see Remey getting red faced. He knew if he pointed it out she would deny itpletely.


    "Exactly. If you used a style it could make things easier. I was thinking that if I learned it and it was in my alchemical brawlers field guide that I might be able to use the educationist title and the knowledge swapping skill to teach you the style. But I need to test it." Walker was surprised that this was the direction Remey was going with this.


    "I thought you were going to tell me you could give me details about it so I can learn by myself. But this is way better. If you can share styles and other information from your alchemical brawlers field guide then that opens so many different possibilities." Walker was


    Intrigued by the possibilities before him.


    Remey lit up even more while she roasted some of the horned rabbit for the party. "I also wonder if Su could teach you how to use her wid block skill. If she can you can have simr shields made that you can pull out of your inventory." Remey had really been thinking about all this and Walker was unable to disagree at all.


    "I can definitely do that. I actually think I should look for information on a battle master system user. If I can learn how to chain attacks together better using multiple weapons then I would have a style simr to theirs. The only difference is magic. I thinkck of knowledge is why I haven''t learned yourbo skill." Walker had also been thinking about this.


    "You focus on your fists and have a very clear understanding of them. Therefore, you canbo your skills together more easily than I can." The theory was simple and based on the understanding of weaponry and fighting style.


    "I was wondering why you hadn''t gotten it. You use so many different weapons all the time and never seem to wlessly chain your attacks. There is always a slight pause in how you attack when switching." Remey had seen this and recorded it in her skill, but she knew that this information could change as Walker gained more skills.


    "It''s a little weird to think I have a style in your alchemical brawlers field guide." Walkerughed nervously since it felt like there was a book about him being written.


    "There is one for every system user I have seen. Mostly only those that can attack. Yours is the least filled out because it is changing a lot. Su''s is the most and Gill''s a close second. Mine is actually pretty barren since I am still learning my own style. I also am changing it based on what I see." Remey was unusually talkative this morning and Walker could only pin it on the fact that she was excited for the new scenery they would find when they reached the dwarven kingdom.


    "Well, if you see anything you think I should learn just let me know. I will add it to my skills and keep getting stronger." Walker said this as encouragement and also to end the conversation. He saw that Midnight had started to lose patience and wanted breakfast. "Thank you for breakfast by the way." Walker started to slice up the meat which threw Midnight in to an excited frenzy of hops.


    "Ahh, the smell of freshly roasted rabbit in the morning. This is why I love the road. So much fresh food. How did your three rest? Ready for some orc ying?" Herder had walked the herd and returned for some food too. He couldn''t help but test the waters for any anxiousness.
