You ask Gludac about getting some training in Stun Maneuvers.

Gludac pulls you aside for some instruction.
[A Dark Corner]
This dark corner is far enough away from the bustle of the courtyard to provide a little peace and quiet...perfect for reflection and training. You also see Master Footpad Gludac.
Obvious exits: out

Master Footpad Gludac says, "OK kid, listen up! Slugging about while stunned is a handy trick, but if yer movin' at the speed of a rolton-sized potato, ya ain't gonna gain much advantage. So we're gonna work on yer speed. My favorite way to do that is arrow dodging!"

Gludac smiles and says, "The secret ta dodgin' an arrow is simply ta be where th' arrow ain't. Keep that in mind when I'm firin' these arrows at yer head."

Gludac winks and chuckles. "Don't worry. No points on these arrows. After all, ya learn a lot less when yer dead. I'll be shootin' special sandbag-tipped arrows. They won't kill, but they DO pack a respectable thump. I'm certain you'll find out."

Gludac exclaims, "Your job, whether you accept it or not, is to dodge at least 3 arrows. You can LEAN LEFT, LEAN RIGHT, DUCK and JUMP as much as you like to try and avoid em. But each time you get hit adds another to the total you have to dodge, so be quick!"

>LEAN LEFT
You prepare to lean left.

Gludac exclaims, "Ya ready? Better be cause here we go!"

>LEAN RIGHT

Gludac fires an arrow! You lean right as the arrow passes by, almost winging your left ear. That was a loud one!
Gludac says, "Homin' in on ya. Prepare for some pain!"
You won this round!
Gludac exclaims, "That was a good round I think, and a good workout. I best take a rest, come back later for some more!

[You have 1 repetition(s) remaining.]
Gludac returns his twohanded sword to the weapon case.

Gludac escorts you back to the training area.
