The instructor is an important figure, and you find him in the most holy room,
where infidels are not let in. He can assist you with many services. First, he
can help you join in the priesthood. Then, he can, to a price of hard study,
advance your skills in pretty much anything. Even magic, although he only
teaches you five lessons of that, and very reluctantly. Up to 300 lessons of
faith awaits you, and when you have taken them all, you are a priest skilled
to serve Gapp in all aspects. He also writes prayers into your prayerbook,
teaches you rituals and a few other things you will need.";
$string[6]="To become a warrior priest you will have to become a priest and a
warrior, but you will get no aid with the warrior part. The priesthood will
help you with priestly matters, but you will have to become a warrior on your own hand.
From the instructor, you will only get ten lessons in fighting. To help you a
bit I here provide you with some steps to take. To advance your skills you
need to get energy to study. This is done by doing other things to take your
mind of all your lessons and get more energy to study harder. Killing is the
best way to regain your study initiative, and while you become a more powerful
warrior priest you will be better at killing things and can advance faster.
On the other hand, as you advance each lesson becomes more expensive, you must
study harder for each lesson than the previous one. So get your self a dagger
and start killing things. ";
$string[7]="First, take five lessons of faith. This will be your basic studies
on the matter, and will give you two rituals, a calming ritual which is good
if you fight some enemy that is to hard for you, and a simple healing ritual for light wounds. Later you will get more powerful rituals.
Next, you will need the first ten lessons in health, the art of building a strong and healthy body. This will give you a buffer so that you can take more punishment in a fight. From the instructor you will get only 25 lessons in this and after that it will be even harder to train your body.
By now you will know how hard it is to kill even a rat. To improve your fighting abilities, take the first five lessons in general fighting. This will cost you much of your energy and you will need to spend lots of time outside of the study chamber before you come over this threshold, but you must.
Next time you return to the classroom it is to learn more about faith, get five lessons in the ritual aspect of faith. Although you will be able to take 50 general faith lessons it will be more efficient if you focus on that that matters.
Complete this with the melee aspect of fighting and the remaining 15 lessons
of health, and you have a basic new beginners set of skills. After this, put
your dagger in the scabbard and get a short sword, you have earned it.";
$string[8]="Now we must focus on getting some important rituals. Therefore,
improve your curing rituals till you get the next healing ritual to cure
medium wounds.
Don't give up, spend all your study efforts on this. Even if you don't get
this ritual, your lower curing ritual benefits from your higher skills, and in
the end, you will get there.
Following this, you need protection. Study the defensive rituals till you get your first protection ritual which allows you to give yourself, or another being, a minor shield. This is a blow absorber which will turn your weaker enemies even weaker and your stronger ones a bit less dangerous to you.
After this you will be familiar with the expression the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak meaning you want to do something but don't have the energy. Mental energy can be measured so study this till you get 150 points, that will be good enough for now. "; $string[9]="It feels good, doesn't it? You can kill things now. The days with 20 minutes to rid the world of a rat is over. But then you hear some guys bragging about crocodiles, giant spiders and other things that would eat you for breakfast. This means more work on your skills. From the instructor you can get no more help in the fighting area, so you need to talk to some one who has gone further than you. Learn how to make better use of a sword and make it your main weapon for now.
Advance the defensive rituals till you get the ritual which allows you to put
up major shields. Work on self protection and self curing from there. Improve
your mental strength. And now awaits a ritual that takes much time to get;
Divine hand. ";
$string[10]="Divine Hand will let you move around from place to place without
walking. Very fast transportations. But to get it you need hard work. Learn
more faith till you have the equivalent of 50 general lessons. Then the
instructor will teach you how to consecrate items to Gapp. This is crucial for
the transportation thing.
A whole set of rituals is lumped together under an umbrella called
miscellaneous. When you have gotten 50 lessons of misc rituals you will get
a ritual which let you link consecrated items to a place. You need this to get
Divine Hand to work. Then comes the hard thing: 150 lessons of targeted
miscellaneous rituals. It seems hard, but on the way you will get a ritual
which allows you to mend clothes.
You can save some teaching powers by repairing clothes and learn by doing this
skill. But in the end, you will get it.
You will then see it works badly.
Four failed attempts on each success in the beginning. At average. And each
attempt takes 200 points of mental energy. But practice and studies will raise
your skills and improve your success. ";
$string[11]="On the fighting area you have swords as your main skill. Now you
need more.
When I started here, axes was the main thing (and still is) to take down
plants, blunt (now maze) anything with troll skin. The later part has changed
somewhat and you can now kill trolls with many types of weapons.
You have to find your own fighting style. I recomend a primary, secondary and
third type of weapon. Me in person uses mace/axe/dagger. No. 2 and 3 works as
backup, I also use axes to take down plants and dagger to skinn things, should
the need araise. But you can pick another style.
Learn targeted offensive rituals till you get a fumbling ritual. It will help you unarm some enemies. If you wan't to go further than this, you need to go to the next part of the warrior priest school.
And remember, always have spare lives, you don't know when you die next time."; $pointer=$_POST["pointer"]; if($_POST["type"]=="fw" || $pointer==0) $pointer=$pointer + 1; if($_POST["type"]=="bw") $pointer=$pointer - 1; echo "
