Last night while doing assigned reading for my crusades class there was this one little saga detailed in the historical documents. So there's this guy called Peter Bartholomew who digs up what he claims is the Lance of Longigus after the siege of Antioch. Now it's all well and good and supposedly helps them win some battles, but as soon as it was dug up people started asking questions. Questions like, "Why does the lance look Seljuk, not Roman?", "Why was it in Antioch instead of Jerusalem?", "Wow Jesus was acting weirdly aggressive in those visions you described Peter, this doesn't sound quite right. And why did he tell you to start making these accusations of sin against your own very important and powerful allies?", and so on.

So eventually the crusaders come up with a test. Peter Batholomew has to walk through a huge fire carrying the lance, and if he comes out the other unscathed it'll be proof of his authenticity. So the time comes and it turns out that the guy actually manages to do it. Walks right through, and supposedly has no marks on his clothing or body other than some very small burns on his ankles.

But then the crowd of people get so excited and worked up that they start swarming him like groupies on a rockstar. They start tearing at his clothes, trying to get some holiness for themselves, and in the process trample him and actually wind up gouging wounds into his body and it goes until some buddies of his rescue him. He gets examined afterwards and they're like "eeyup, no burns", but then he dies three days later anyways since he got trampled so badly.

New Zoids things is being teased. No confirmation on what the nature of said things actually is, but it looks pretty badass whatever it turns out to be.

"I suppose that's one way to put it." Altha bristled a little at Flora's demand, since she had never stated that she would go with her. On the other hand however, if they were to encounter anything interesting while out there...

Altha slowly nodded and stood up.

"I might as well go with you to ascertain the quality of the purchases. Wasting money on some conman practitioner would be unfortunate. Just give me a moment to prepare myself." Wearing the blue of an Reich Uniform would make it less likely that someone would bother her, or worse, try to engage in chitchat.

Go with Flora on her stops, along with the tome shop

Altha raised an eyebrow at Iris's intrusion, recognizing her and the Peritz girl. So this was Flora's sister?

"You have a-" Altha stopped mid sentence. She vaguely recalled Flora mentioning something about a sibling before. Much of what was said to her tended to become a blur in Altha's mind outside of work and academia.

"Nevermind." she said, shaking her head. "But since the enchantment seems to give its effects to the item that it's bounded to that wouldn't make sense. Most likely it's related to whatever made the spell transferable in the first place. All things must have a cost after all, and as far as I have been able to see, the enchantment lacks an internal energy reserve like that of tomes or staves."
