Take the Book with you, you may need it to refer to or to pray on. 

The Talisman around your neck will let you in where you need to go. Use it wisely, and show it when you need to buy trust. 

The Siren’s screech is fearsome and will beset you without warning. The only way to be rid of it is to face it head on and answer its call.

Choose your battles, pick the right weapons to fight with. You have but a fraction of a second to decide and not many second chances should you get it wrong. 

You will not have all the answers, you will not know all the paths. May the powers that be grant you the mental agility to know what you lack, remember what you know and work out what you do not.

If all else fails, hope the cavalry arrives at the right moment.

Above all, have heart. You will have moments where your courage wavers, but remember that as you are toiling, dawn is racing to reach you. Hold the line until it does.
