The greatest weapon of each Aldorian pilgrim is most certainly their unshakable faith in the Host and the Path which they prepared for all of us. And yet, there are many situations in life when we have to stand up for ourselves instead of hoping for divine intervention. Your trusty staff, that has likely been accompanying you during your miles-long journeys between the holy sites of Aldor, can definitely help you with this task.
 
You have to keep in mind that your staff is not just a walking stick, but it also isn't a weapon in the full sense of the word. You'll most likely fail to deal the same damage to your opponent, be it an ambushing bandit or an orc, as you would do with, say, a sword. The staff's advantage is the ease of learning, as well as an abundance of moves you can perform with it, some of which I'll explain in detail below. Sometimes instead of trying to kill your enemy outright, it's better to daze or confuse them, knock a weapon out of their hands. In other words - buy yourself some time to make a run for it, rather than sticking around for an unfair fight...

Book content

...One day Brother Jodar was on his way from the village fair, where he had spent a week carousing. His head was buzzing from all the mead he drank, his belly was filled to the brim, and he had a long road ahead of him.

The snaking path led him to a dark forest. As unperturbed as ever, Brother Jodar marched ahead, loudly whistling a tune. All of a sudden, a burly fellow stepped out from the treeline, brandishing a nasty-looking club.

Brother Jodar grabbed his staff tightly, took a step back, and started talking:

"Well hello! Didn't expect to run into another clueless vagabond like me at this hour!"

The fellow opened his mouth in surprise, but before he could reply, Brother Jodar proceeded with his speech:

"The name's Brother Jodar, and I am a monk. I bring the word and blessing of the Host to the wronged and abused. If you kneel right now, I'll bless you as well."

The fellow hesitated, but Brother Jodar looked at him with such fatherly kindness, that he gave in. The moment he got on his knees, the monk raised his staff... and smacked the villain on the back of his head! The thug tried to avoid it, but to no avail - Brother Jodar had the combat prowess of seven men. Nursing his wound, the thug reached for the club but instead got smacked again - there was nothing for him to do but to make a run for it, cowering from hits.

"Take this, and that!.. Where are you going? I only gave you a blessing for good health... How about one more for good fortune?.. Or maybe a blessing for a happy marriage?"
