Rods Sword

After talking to Lee and Torlof, the hero can ask Rod about sword training. Rod bets the hero cannot hold his sword, requiring 30 Strength. Winning the bet and refusing to return the sword provokes a fight. Since Rod fights unarmed, the hero has a clear advantage. This also fulfills part of 'Kind Regards'. Only available until Chapter 3.

Rewards

150 XP 30 Gold

150-250 XP (chapter-dependent) + 30 gold

Walkthrough

Talk to Lee and Torlof at Onar's Farm first. Then ask Rod if he will train you in two-handed combat.

He says you are too weak and bets you cannot hold his sword. You need 30 Strength.

Win the bet. Rod hands you his sword. Hold it up (100 XP + 30 gold).

When Rod asks for it back, say "No." He attacks with bare fists only, making him easy to beat (50-150 XP, chapter-dependent).

This also counts as a vote for 'Kind Regards'.
