ATTENTION: HELP WANTED











I want to set up a town armory and secure weapons training for anyone who needs it.









Please let me know if you:
--can make any kind of weapon
--can teach any kind of weapon
--need training








Also, if you already have a weapon, please let me know so I can keep a record of who is armed/what arms we collectively have.










Thank you.

[Barnabas usually just takes note of the bulletin board's conversations, holding no inclination to respond to any of them. That is until now.]





I am proficient with all manner of armaments. Should there be dedicated students, then my hand shall guide them.

[pereatmundus]

I appreciate it. I need lessons for sure.

[thinkfirst]

An excellent idea, particularly given how sparse weapons can be. It may also be wise to include actual armor pieces, forged or found?











I can offer lessons in swordsmanship, with a particular focus on defense. I also have a nicely-balanced sword and a few bits of scavenged armor.

[pereatmundus]

Armor and shields are a great idea. There must be a way to make some from the materials we have.










We've got plenty of leather in our closets, at least. There's got to be something we can do with that.

[thinkfirst]

Some of the things we're gathering for the game could work! The thick leather for the catching gloves, for example? We won't want to use those, of course, but you're absolutely right about the leather.











If we can harden it, we can make armor. In particular, I'd like everyone to have some way of protecting their arms and vital organs.

[pereatmundus]

Helmets, too. If we're using hardened leather, could we rip the brims off some hats and use the tops as a base?

[thinkfirst]

If our captain doesn't mind us using some of them, I'm sure that would work very well.

[kaientai]

I'm trained in Japanese-style long and short swords, spears, and naginata.










If you don't know, a naginata is like a spear with a sword on the end of it
↓



















So, if anyone wants to learn any of those, I'm happy to teach!

[pereatmundus]

Do you have any of those, or just the ability to use them?










Crude spears and clubs would be the quickest way to build a stockpile, if we have people who can train us with them.

[kaientai]

Yup! I made a few before since there wasn't much else to do.










I could make more, but there's a lot less wood lying around these days...

[pereatmundus]

Talk to Darin--he's taking down trees for a defensive wall. I'm sure he could set some aside for you.

[go_loud]

Yes.

Sorry. Sandpaper not conducive to length. Back momentarily.

Weapons: I have my sword (obtained when Well first started looking somewhat different), which is a longsword, not quite a two-hander but could certainly be used or taught that way.




Teaching: Yes, I could instruct in the above, rapier, and dagger, and also curved blade (forward or backward curve; single or double, but you'd start learning one anyway).

In reverse order of preference.




...if anyone CAN make knives or short swords I'd be in their debt
(Darin?? we have at least one smith around here. Not sure about a smithy, though.)

[pereatmundus]

[Darin's a smith? Good to know.]







Thanks for the lead. I'll ask Darin for guidance.
