📋 About This Mod

Are you tired of hearing guards tell you their life story? Are you tired of feigning sympathy? Are you tired of BLOWING THEM TO SMITHEREENS because you don't care (and then getting arrested)?
Well NO LONGER!
The divines have grown tired too! Henceforth, any man who dares to mention an arrow and a knee in the same sentence shall be immediately struck down with lightning!
