No Crown Rests Easy

"So..." I asked Bigni, "In a camp full of armed warriors, most of whom don't like our boss..."

"Our captain." Bigni said.

"Our captain," I continued, "how do we know which ones to pay attention to?"

He grunted. "How are you doing with your help files?"

"I fail to see..."

"How?" he asked.

"It's still like reading code; I'm able to find some sections I can read, but I'd estimate I've only encountered one in eight of the languages. Actually, that estimate may be high."

"I see. So how do you know which languages to prioritize for unlock?"

"I just pull on loose words, and unlock the whole group. But..."

"That soldier." he pointed. "No thinking, threat, or not?"

"Not unless he can throw that axe head; it's loose, and the axe is badly in need of maintenance."

"How do you know he doesn't have a knife ready to draw from his inventory?"

"He wouldn't need that one on his belt if he had." I said.
