>ask tol about circle
Tolle says, "Congratulations, Rantjur! You are ready to train for your next rank!"
>ask tol about snipe

Tolle says, "So, you want to learn the whistling kill?"

Tolle chuckles.

Tolle leans over and begins to speak softly to you, "I call it that because if done right, the only thing the prey will see... or should I say hear, is the whistle of your arrow. I'll teach it to you but you need to heed my warnings."
>
Tolle explains, "First, do not use this skill near a town or city, we have an image to uphold. Don't ask me what that image is, I just know it is not one of murderers."
>
Tolle says, "Second, the ability is very difficult to use. It takes a mastery of a lot of different skills to use efficiently."
>
Tolle asks, "Third... Hey, you listening?"

Tolle glares at you.
>
Tolle continues, "Finally, the way I teach you this skill is different from the way another guild might teach its members."

Tolle winks at you.
>
Tolle says, "I will show you how to harness the power of the wilderness around you, how to focus and become one with nature. So, know that you would be a fool to think you can apply my teachings to an urban setting. I hardly ever use the ability least of all within the walls of a city."

Tolle leans over and begins whispering in your ear the basics of sniping.
>
Tolle's words begin to sink in and you feel you are ready to begin trying out this new ability.

AND my first snipe!


You think you have your best shot possible now.
>snipe
>
You remain concealed by your surroundings, convinced that your moving to fire went unobserved.
< Moving as one fluid extension of power, you snipe a basilisk head arrow at a blood wolf. A blood wolf attempts to evade, moving directly into the blow. The arrow lands an apocalyptic strike (So that's what it felt like when Grazhir shattered!) that pierces straight through the breastbone to lodge the basilisk head arrow in the heart.

The basilisk head arrow lodges itself savagely into the blood wolf!
A blood wolf whines briefly before closing its eyes forever.

First snipe, and it's a one shot. Gotta love it!
