Section heading
"Bracers of Defense AC 3: Grinning Glen, the Knight of Fools, wore these bracers while competing in jousting tourneys. With his skill, charm, and bravado -- no man other than he would joust without armor --  he soon became a favorite to the ladies that watched the events. Too much of a favorite it would seem, for one afternoon he was caught frolicking with a knight's betrothed.  A challenge was issued, but in his rush Glen forget to don his bracers. Glen died with a confused grin on his face as the knight's sword struck him, never knowing his own folly."
