    • Player: Hello mister. I'm told you'll be training me.
    • Corporal Binns: Mister? What do you mean, mister? You're in the town guard now and you'll treat your superiors with respect.
    • (Continues below.)
  • Reporting for duty sir.
    • Player: Reporting for duty sir.
    • (Continues below.)
• Corporal Binns: So Captain Degreene is scraping the bottom of the barrel for new recruits? Okay whelp, head to the quartermaster in this building here, and collect your standard issue gear.
• Corporal Binns: Then you need to learn some guard magic. Talk to Anjay to the west. He's Hopeport's magic supressor. Tell him you need guard's access to use magic.
• Corporal Binns: Once you've done all that, report back to me.
• Choose option
  • I'll get right on it sir.
    • Player: I'll get right on it sir.
  • What's a magic supressor?
    • Player: What's a magic supressor?
    • Corporal Binns: You don't know much, do you? They're people with a special talent for neutralizing magic in the immediate area.
    • Corporal Binns: What's more they can detect the magical signature of individuals and let that magic through. We're lucky to have him here. Not every town has one of his ilk.

Afterwards

• Corporal Binns: You need to get geared up. Head to the quartermaster in the building to the southeast of this training ground.

    • Anjay Sandorman: We have a guy who teaches some useful spells for new recruits and I suspect you have the aptitude to learn.
