THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Swordsman Guard's Breastplate

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 4

One of three massive, unenchanted iron breastplates looted off Village Guard Swordsmen at some earlier, unspecified point, alongside a matching helmet and one of their giant swords; all carry relatively low value. Roughly the size of an opened umbrella and up to two and a half inches thick, too heavy for a pre-dungeon human to budge but easy enough for Carl now. Too big to simply hand off to Katia Grim as armor. The first one becomes Carl's test piece at his new engineering table, earning him the Martha Stewart! achievement.

Carl:

Considers refashioning it into armor for Katia Grim but decides it's too big for her; uses the Goo-Inator 3000's Freeform setting to flatten and bend it at his new engineering table, earning the Martha Stewart! achievement. Still mid-reshape when he heads out for the dayB3C4
