The unfolding of the mystery is inscribed on the succedent leaf. Those possessing of sufficient wit to find the solutions unneeded, may yet discover more mysteries, even of the other planes.
When trudging along
the wastelands long,
just singing a favored traveling song.
When scaling a hill
requiring of great skill,
climbing the crags by fingertip and sheer will.
When at a shrine to explore,
or ruined cities of yore,
vestiges of a people decimated by war.
A spear from the sky,
a harrowing cry,
no warning afore the enemy draws nigh.
Dodge or shield!
No option to yield.
A deathmatch assured upon the challenger revealed.
Traveler's bane,
the unwary slain,
a menace ere Saint Jiub's bloody campaign.
So, be ever ready to defend,
and put your back to a friend.
