So we got a buncha old fashioned guys who are used to swinging around swords all the time and stuff, right? It seems like it, I can't go 20 feet without tripping over someone that's never seen a minipad before. God, would it kill that rift stuff to start taking more people from the modern era?
Anyway, point is I need one of you guys — or, hell, a buncha you guys — to start teaching. I've got some students in mind, foremost being me, because the training room here doesn't cut it if you've never even seen a fucking sword before. And if anyone else sucks at medieval stuff too lemme know, we'll make it a whole party.
Achilles and Koltira, you guys are my top medieval guys that know what you're doing, don't you fucking ignore this.
[ a beat ]
Also, I've got this little super strength issue where I might break any weapons I try and use, so... there's that, too. Still working on that obstacle. Any ideas, lemme know.
[ ooc: here's a planning post for teaching stuff!! ]

omg i'm sorry i'm so messed up with my notifs ;(
Ah, so hookblades are held in your hand but not wielded the same as a normal sword.
[ he'll send a really squiggly line drawing of one. ]
I've never used one, but I've read about them and their movements and they are very strength focused. Because of this, perhaps it would work well for you. They say they are hard to master but worth it for all the options it gives you in one weapon. You could trip opponents, drag them forward... and that's just an alternate use of the hook. You can use it like a regular sword, I think... you just can't pierce. [ With the main part, anyway, he means, since he did draw what probably is supposed to be small blade on the opposite end. ]
Uhh... fail that, I've seen smaller variations strapped underneath the arm rather than over like the flail, which you conceal mostly until you're on top of the enemy. You could do this, probably, too, with the right adjustments.
no worries! i'm clearly taking forever anyway :'|
Holy shit. Who's been hiding all this good stuff from me? I didn't even know these guys existed! And how could I ever pick which one's cooler, it's like asking a mother which kid she loves best.
I don't suppose you got any of either of 'em lying around?
;-; <3!!
I wish. I wonder if ALASTAIR could replicate them in the training simulator for you to try out?
