Armor of the Heart

LUDO

Ludo bobbed its head in acceptance as Jigano thanked it for the bracers; it considered the task completed, and was quite proud of the creation, if it did say so itself. But as the bard continued, Ludo would appear to quiver with uncertainty. Its mask shook firmly from side to side. "Perhaps one day it may be a place you wish to venture," it said. "But should you go now, you will find yourself part of those souls who do not reach Mort. That is almost certain." Almost, of course, was not the same as entirely. But it was clear in its reaction: to go would be to risk instant death.
