DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

Speak with Gjullvar in Audliten, loc=4364,21834 East Svealand.

Story
There are several abilities that certain members of our realm possess that are designed to protect their realm-mates from harm. Fortunately I have mastered all of these tactics. Would you like a quick lesson on the various ways you can be protected?

Summary
Speak with Gjullvar to learn about the Protect, Guard, and Intercept abilities.

Quest Goal: Continue speaking with Gjulvar.

Gjullar says, "Good day young (Your Class). I imagine you are here before me because Huntress Kyrelda sent you?

Yes... of course you are. Well no sense prattleing away then, I'm here to teach you! Which subject would you like to [learn] about?"

Gjullar says, "[Protect]. [Guard], [Intercept]

Let me know when you [understand] everything about these abilities and are ready to move on."

Gjullar says, "Protect is an ability that Warriors, THanes, Valkyries, Skalds, Berserkers, Savages, and Maulers have access to. Each of those classes can apply it to a single member of their group.

The 'Protected' person has less of a chance to gain or keep the aggression of any NPC attacking them or their group. Additionally, the 'Protector' has a highter chance to gain that NPC's aggression.

Would you like to [learn] about another ability?"

Gjullar says, "Guard is an ability that shield users receive after investing some of their points into the Shield specialization. It can be applied to a single group member.

The 'Guarder's' ability to block incoming attacks is transferred to the 'Guarded' group member as long as the two are near each other. Additionally, the 'Guarder' must be facing the 'Guarded' member.

Having the Guard ability applied to you does not guarantee that all incoming melee attacks will be blocked, but if the 'Guarder' is sufficiently trained in their Shield line many attacks will be thwarted.

Would else would you like to [learn]?"

Gjullar says, "Intercept is an ability granted to Warriors, Thanes, and Maulers of Midgard. It can only be applied to a single group member.

Intercept does exactly as it sounds - it intercepts one melee attack for whomever it is applied to, as ling as the 'Intercepter' is nearby. However, the 'Intercepter' will take full damage from an intercepted attack without benefit from any of their defensive bonuses. Additionally, the ability cannot be used for another minute after being applied.

Is there anything else would you like to [learn] about?

Gjullar says, "[Protect]. [Guard], [Intercept]

Let me know when you [understand] everything about these abilities and are ready to move on."

Quest Goal: Continue speaking with Gjulvar.

Gjullar says, "Good! Knowing these abilities should be a big enough help for now. Another ability exists, known as Bodyguard, but it is only available to much more experience adventurers. That will have to be a lesson for another day, (Your Class)."

Story
Remember your lesson this day (Your Name), it will save your hide in the future. Farewell and good luck!
