Major Changes

6th to 7th: Vance has dropped a skill rank into Knowledge (religion). Inspired by his experiences in Daskaran, he has traded in his magical greatsword for a longsword of similar construction. Given that he will now be fighting with a shield all the time, he upgraded to a small magical shield. (He went down to a small shield because it is small enough so he can still grasp things with his off hand, which is more convenient.) He also got some Horseshoes of Speed for his mount. It now has a positively frightening movement of 80 ft. Finally, Vance requisitions a Chime of Opening (with some charges depleted) and a Wand of Repair Light Damage for this mission. Though Vance cannot use the RLD wand himself, he figures the sorcerer Samuel can use it on him.

7th to 8th: Vance raises his Wisdom by 1 with his 8th level increase and puts another skill rank into Knowledge: Religion. He has purchased a periapt of wisdom +2, so that he can cast second level paladin spells. His warhorse has increased in power and taken ranks in the jump skill.
