As some of you are aware, there was a fire in Caer Glaem's library. An intruder was in the buidling.
As it stands, we as shardholders are the strongest thing our court has to defend itself. If the shardholders of the other court come to us the footsoldiers will be cut down all too easily -- a shardholder is worth 30 or so of the other soldiers.
If we are to defend Caer Glaem therefore we must help in not just leaving her to pursue alliances and fight enemies, but by the stationing of guards. We must keep track of who enters and leaves our city, be vigilant against agents of Morla scouting us out or attacks against us. As you may already be aware myself and Sir Grimm are holding training all through this month for anyone who wishes to learn, but this will require people good at keeping records too.
If anyone is interested in this effort please contact myself or Lady Gwenllian. Thank you for your time.

I've worked with dog handlers in combat situations, though I was never one myself. They can be trained to detect explosives [ does he have to explain those to you Lancelot ] so they're pretty damn useful.

[ Sorry, John, that's a yes to explaining it. ]

Forgive me -- I know what an explosion itself is, I have seen such destruction from a lightning strike or the use of magic. But what is an explosive? Surely an explosion itself is not difficult to detect, so -- something that will explode?
[ By context, that is what it seems like. ]
audio;
Right. Usually something made specifically to explode. Sometimes they'll make sure that when it explodes, it's not just fire but pieces of metal to embed in whatever poor bastard sets it off.

[ Wince. ]
A torture device of some sort?

[ So... in a way. ]
They can do a lot of damage.

They can be used for other things, though. Making roads.

Is that not dangerous? Surely attempting to make a hole with such an explosive force makes the mountain unstable?
