I see what you mean, but rushing in without a plan could cost us more than we gain. A proper excavation requires careful mapping, context, and permission from the proper authorities. If we want to honor the people who lived here, we must treat the site with the same reverence I give to a finely honed blade. Bring an archaeologist, get the permits, and document everything before we touch a single stone. Only then can we truly learn from the past.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but a hastily drawn sketch can mislead and damage the very layers we seek. Proper surveying must be systematic, using calibrated tools, and recorded in detail. Without that foundation, even the best archaeologist will find themselves piecing together a puzzle that never existed. If we want true insight, we must do it the old-fashioned way—slow, precise, and with respect for the ground beneath our feet.

Excellent. Make sure every instrument is calibrated, every measurement recorded. A true survey leaves no room for guesswork, just as a master swordsman never leaves a point of weakness. Then we’ll bring in the right minds, and the artifacts will speak for themselves.

Good. With that discipline, even the most stubborn relics will yield their secrets. Keep your blades and tools sharp—precision is the true key to honor.
