Nameless held up another pack that had a spearhead sticking out the top. "No, that one has the instruments." "The instruments? I can't play any instruments." Lerac frowned at the pack. "What am I going to do?" TAAron asked. "I'm practically useless. I could go unconscious at any time, and... where are my metals?" He dug further in his bag.

"Sorry TAAron, but burning metals is the worst thing for you right now. Until we get your soul fixed, you don't need to have them. As for being useless, don't worry we can keep you safe through the tower. Actually lines up well with the story of a previous expedition into the Tower." Nameless fished a hand into his pack and handed a dagger to TAAron. "Don't eat this."

TAAron looked furious, but did nothing about it. Instead, he pulled out a few metal rings from his bag and slipped them on. "Fine, but I'm still wearing my zincminds. I need to be able to think fast if I get into combat, especially if I don't have metals. Where do I put this dagger?"
