Malfunctioning Monks' Ward Brings Unexpected Results

In a surprising development, it was learned today that the fabled Monk's Ward
actually protects people against Monks. Exactly how it affects this
protection is not clearly understood, but one aspect has become frightening
obvious. Somehow, the ward has changed the Monk Quest from collecting 5
flowers to wasting two days away from town, naked and helpless. It was
discovered that the next step was that the Monk quest would be changed again
so that the person wishing to become a monk would have to go on the quest
solo for 3 days and not be able to use magic while doing so. Another
addition would be that the person trying to become a monk would then have to
fight a four-armed Dumdee-Oleoh bare-handed without magic.

The goal of the Ward seems to be to make the quest so long and boring while
reducing the benefits of becoming a monk, that people would rather train for
a different class and profession. If the tediousness of the quest still would
not deter someone, an almost certain death at the end of the quest might.

After unearthing these facts, this reporter was attacked by a four-armed
Dumdee-Oleoh in an attempt to prevent this information from being released.
Fortunately, the monsters were not yet fully developed and this reporter was
able to escape with his life after taking this daring shot.



At this time, it is unknown if the Ward was created by Cet, Kerah, Anephas,
or some as yet unknown source. The fact that this artifact is being sought
after by the Temple in Brimloch Roon is alarming. It is not yet known if the
priests are being twisted to do the Ward's bidding, or if the priests are
using the ward in a jealous attempt to prevent Monks from challenging them as
spiritual leaders in the Gael Sarran. Malakai of the Temple at Brimloch Roon
refused to comment when approached.

Oh My! So Thankful I did not have a Monk in my party! Too impatient to wait out two days naked and unarmed...to have to go through even more tortous tasks to complete the quest might have made me go insane and quit the game!
