Tuesday, Feb 6th: I made a few changes to some triggers as I was creating the companions of Ultima. Lord British uses a halberd in battle, and Julia carries a hammer. I wanted them to have some skill in these weapons, so I had to create my own weapon skills. This was much easier than I thought.

First, to create the encounter, I right-clicked on the "Encounters" folder in the map where the person would live, and selected New.

Next, I added the character by selecting the "Creatures" tab in the enounter. After I made the stats as I deemed they should be, I closed out of the window.

Next, I right-clicked on the character in the Encounter folder, and selected "Insert Item From Library."
I chose the items this character would have by double-clicking the items in the appropriate folders. But Julia has a hammer, so first I selected a large club.

Then, I right-clicked the large club under her character, and chose "Properties."
I simply renamed the club "Hammer," and chose the appropriate graphic from my own library of graphics.

After closing out of that window, I right-clicked the character again, and selected "Insert Trigger From Library."

I chose the Skills folder, and double-clicked the "Weapon (Club)" skill.

Then, I right-clicked the "Pre-RollAttack Weapon (Club)" skill under the character, and chose Properties.

Under the Statements tab, the first statement is CopyText club Into Local.TextA. So I simply renamed "club" to "hammer."

I did the same thing with Lord British's halberd, and any other weapons different from what's available in the RuneSword library of skills.
