He started to follow, before smacking his forehead. "That's what I forgot. Mace and shield."<br/><br/>He turned back, and grabbed a flanged mace, and snagged what appeared to be a metal bar with two circles of metal, one at each end. After applying to his wrist, and twisting it around to get it comfortable, it created a glowing field, shaped like a kite shield. He froze, looking at it, and then laughed. "So, magic shield. I rather like that."<br/><br/>He played with the metal circles, before figuring out that it wasn't twisting that activated the shield, but a small glowing rune on the inside of his arm that needed to be touched. A second rune, on the larger of the two circles, deactivated the shield. Done playing with the new toy, he jogged back to the dragon, and rolled his eyes as he got the 'standard' item load out, though he asked what each one did, and traded out a couple for items more fitting his personal 'play style.' Finally done outfitting himself, and feeling like Liberacci's stunt double for a fantasy film, he turned to her, and began putting the items from his old pack into the new one. "So, any chance these things can get a glamor on them to keep from screaming 'near epic adventurer' to anyone with detect magic? Also, I thought your guide wasn't going to be here for a couple days. Surely it won't take that long to explain the situation."
