 trange
practice. Seems like everybody got hurt tonight. We
finally talked Ivo into fighting with a different shield
than his 2x4 Ansteorran Barn Door ??and had him use
Slaine’s new 2x2 square shield. We first discovered
the Viking square when I went on a trip to San Francisco
and found time to go to a West Kingdom fighter practice
(actually as far as it goes, it’s THE west kingdom
fighter practice) at Mission college.But back to the injuries. Calum
got hit in the back of the hand because the basket hilt
that I made him was not dished deeply enough. I’m
gonna have to e-mail Sinric (the guy we got the pattern
from) and ask him for help on getting it right. Angus got
hit in the arm with a shot so hard from Ivo that it
caused a deep purplish bruise to form up within 10
minutes. A pretty darn near full force shot from Oxlade
hit me in the shin. Slaine got hit on the back of the
hand from me (I don’t know how I did it). To top it
all Oxlade immediately hit Ivo real hard on the leg as
soon as he saw that Ivo was fighting with a small shield
and had left his leg open. All in all, a strange night
for injuries, and just a weird night overall.
The fun part was when I
drove up, I saw two center-gripped rounds, one side
gripped round, and one center-grip square. No barn-doors.
A large part of me was going “Am I sure I’m at
an Ansteorran practice? Something looks wrong!” It
was an excellent evening from the “get the fighters
to move and dodge and weave” as opposed to the
“hide behind the big shield and try to not get
hit.” I like it. I hope it continues.
Anyway, I’m kind of tired, so I’m gonna sign off
now.
