A Meeting For Eldiv'cruan's Official Weaponry

[HardstyleRaver2 56]

A letter has been sent to all of the members of eldiv'cruan and Dak'ir Des'Nox.

It has come to my attention that are no official weapons for eldiv'cruan as of yet. Because of this, every single member could bring their own weapon, which could cause inconsistent fighting styles among our ranks. Also, we appeared to be an unorganized band of mercenaries, so I would like to hold a meeting, which is about choosing which swords, bows, crossbows, and daggers we should use, in Della's bakery. It's an unusual place to meet at, but I can't think anywhere else.

~Alakagh Uuthlini, Riv'tahu

((This meeting will be only Forum RP))

[HardstyleRaver2 56]

Alakagh enters in Della's bakery, carrying several pieces of parchment and a pen. He takes a seat at the largest table in the place. He faces at the entrance, waiting for others to come. While he waits, he individually unstraps 3 sheaths that contains a shamshir, an enchanted longsword, and a pesh-kabz and sets them on the table in front of him. He takes them out of their sheaths and organized them in a way that they're neatly beside their sheaths.

Mizziyrn  enters with a Flamberge,shield, and a crossbow.

 

"These are the weapons I've carried since I was old enough to fight in the name of the ancestors. They hold a place on my mantel, and I prefer not to part with them for the sake of uniformity. Yet if it's your orders, it will be done"

((Though I'm not affiliated with Dark Elves, I've suggested the use of spears to Dakir before in OOC. I always thought that would be cool, as Wood Elves have bows, High Elves have magic, and yes, in lore Dark Elves are the best at sword wielding, but spears are very underdone. A culture of spear wielders would be rather interesting.))

Avariss walks into the room, carrying two elven carved swords and a long bow.

 

 

"I have only used a sword my entire life, but I think there is room for improvement. I definitely think that we need more organization, we are like clowns on the battlefield. We need more strategies, it will make victory more likely in numerous cases. As well, we lack something that the mali'ame are not lacking... Bows. We need to work more with bows, we may be very incompetent with the art of archery, but it is a good tool to have, and we are at a disadvantage. That is all."

 

And with that, he waits to hear what his fellow Mali'ker have to say.

[Dakirennis 959]

Dak'ir hobbles into the bar, limping somewhat with a hand on his side. Under an arm he carries a long and heavy looking item wrapped in cloth. He settles himself into a seat placing the package on the table as he looks around to those who have gathered.

 

"Once a few more people arrive, I'll show you something I've been working on. It's proven useful against a rather strange knight that Phaedrus and I have encountered in the city above."

 

((Also, Watyll. The woodies have been the spear users lately. You should see Wardog's hoplite style combat rp.))

((I hear you man. We MUST have swords because we are dark elves, but spears should be done in some form))

​Arveldir steps into the kitchery, dressed in his uniform and hand resting on his hilt absently as he nods to everyone present. He steps over to the table, "I carry three blades with me at all times. A regular long sword," he slides the blade from its sheath and sets it on the table, "a shortsword," he slides the second blade from its smaller sheath and places it next to the first blade, "and a dagger for close encounters." Arveldir places the final, much smaller blade next to the shortsword. All of the blades would be of simple elven make, nothing special. "Each I've placed in a certain part of my belt and I've memorized where they are for quick use. Before you ask, no I don't use two at the same time. That'd be idiotic."

 

((I believe the high elven guards also used to use spears..))

[HardstyleRaver2 56]

Mizziyrn enters with a Flamberge,shield, and a crossbow.

"These are the weapons I've carried since I was old enough to fight in the name of the ancestors. They hold a place on my mantel, and I prefer not to part with them for the sake of uniformity. Yet if it's your orders, it will be done"

"Karin'ayla," greeted Alakagh as Mizziryn entered the place. After Mizziyrn placed the weapons on the table and spoke his mind, Alakagh leaned over the table to examine weapon. He looked back to his own weapons to compare. Then, he laid back, weaving his hands together.

"What an interesting sword you have there." He paused for a moment as he made eye contact with Mizziyrn. "Who forged the blade? What is the purpose of the wavy design? Anyways, I must let you know of how important uniformity is to me and the guard force. Uniformity assists discipline."

Avariss walks into the room, carrying two elven carved swords and a long bow.

"I have only used a sword my entire life, but I think there is room for improvement. I definitely think that we need more organization, we are like clowns on the battlefield.

And with that, he waits to hear what his fellow Mali'ker have to say.

"Karin'ayla," greeted Alakagh as Athri entered the place. After Athri placed the weapons on table and spoke his mind, Alakagh nodded as he examined the Athri's weapons.

"I do agree with your point of having bows; however, I do think that it would take us way too long to master the use of longbows and shortbows. Therefore, I do think that we should use crossbows instead, since they are easier to use and much more effective than normal bows. By the way, I also agree with your point about strategy, so I will do research on several strategies."

Dak'ir hobbles into the bar, limping somewhat with a hand on his side. Under an arm he carries a long and heavy looking item wrapped in cloth. He settles himself into a seat placing the package on the table as he looks around to those who have gathered.

"Once a few more people arrive, I'll show you something I've been working on. It's proven useful against a rather strange knight that Phaedrus and I have encountered in the city above."

((Also, Watyll. The woodies have been the spear users lately. You should see Wardog's hoplite style combat rp.))

"Karin'ayla, Dak'ir. It's good to see you here." Then, he raised his brow as he saw what Dak'ir was carrying. "What the nether is that?"

((I should reward myself for doing all of this with my phone as it is very difficult to do, especially with the font options to make it appealing.))

[Baconthief 682]

"It had been a tradition in my family for century. When a blade strikes the edge of mine, it's to send unnatural vibrations down the sword and arm of the user. It's a tool of defense and a piece of art."

 

Mizziyrn touches his shield

 

"I prefer my offense to be operated through a powerful defense. If my blade is to remain on my mantel, leave me my shield. "

 

"On the matter of bows, our kin have never been renown in its use. Our friends above the city have mastered it, and archery has been engraved in their culture. We are not the wood elves, not many of us pick a bow up regularly. . .and that's a tool that takes a good decade to perfectly master. A crossbow seems to be most effective tool for us."

[Dakirennis 959]

Dak'ir nods at Mizziyrn's words as he begins to undo the bindings and uncover the weapon.

 

"He speaks the truth. Crossbows are also much more accurate and more powerful. We are fighting heavily armed men, not deer in a forest. Among longsword, crossbow, and shield. It has come to my attention that a spear may be quite useful as well. I'll have to forge some cross spears in the coming days. But this..." 

 

He finally unravels the cloth, uncovering the weapon.

"Is something special I've been working on. I've even had the chance to use it along side Phaedrus against a knight that had harried us for a few days now and it's proven quite effective."

 

 

"While almost as tall as a wood elf, it's quite effective in both offence and defence. A secondary and tertiary grip for stability and control. With a full swing it could cut rather deeply into armored men. Though it is more designed for hacking something to bits than cutting it. So what do you think?"

[WuHanXianShi14 0]

((I toted a spear around for months while I was a guard for lin'ame in the fringe. Fun times. I was channeling the spirit of Oberyn Martell))

[Dakirennis 959]

((I toted a spear around for months while I was a guard for lin'ame in the fringe. Fun times. I was channeling the spirit of Oberyn Martell))

 

Better watch out. Oberyn lived in Lin'ame after all. Don't wanna anger him.

[Baconthief 682]

Dak'ir nods at Mizziyrn's words as he begins to undo the bindings and uncover the weapon.

"Although the weapon is quite impressive, it's hardly designed for one such as myself who chooses to use a shield. You'll need to forge much lighter and smaller versions"

[HardstyleRaver2 56]

​Arveldir steps into the kitchery, dressed in his uniform and hand resting on his hilt absently as he nods to everyone present. He steps over to the table, "I carry three blades with me at all times.

"Karin'ayla," greeted Alakagh as Arveldir entered the place. After Arveldir spoke and laid the weapons on the table, he narrowed his eyes and leaned over the table to have a better view of Arveldir's weapons. Then, he shifted his eyes over to Athri's sword. After he finished comparing Athri's sword and Arveldir's swords, he sat back.

"It had been a tradition in my family for century. When a blade stricks the edge of mine, it's to send unnatural vibrations down the sword and arm of the user. It's a tool of defense and a piece of art."

Mizziyrn touches his shield

We are not the wood elves, not many of us pick a bow up regularly. . .and that's a tool that takes a good decade to perfectly master. A crossbow seems to be most effective tool for us."

"Ah, I can see why you value your blade so much." He paused for a moment. "The blade does have an interesting function, but I want to witness it myself to see how much it affects the opponent. I want to determine if the vibrations are actually useful. I would like to see a demonstration. Anyways, I would consider having shields as part of the official arsenal."

Dak'ir nods at Mizziyrn's words as he begins to undo the bindings and uncover the weapon.

"He speaks the truth. Crossbows are also much more accurate and more powerful. We are fighting heavily armed men, not deer in a forest. Among longsword, crossbow, and shield.

With a full swing it could cut rather deeply into armored men. Though it is more designed for hacking something to bits than cutting it. So what do you think?"

Alakagh widened his eyes and left his mouth agaped as he saw Dak'ir revealed the odd weapon. He uttered, "Oh my ancestors..." He paused for quite a bit as he examined the unusual weapon. After Dak'ir finally finished speaking, Alakagh said, "It looks like that an Uruk could wield this magnificient 'weapon.' It's massive, but I would like to use it. What do you call it?" He leaned over and reached his hand over to feel the flat side of the blade and the grips. "How can you carry it when you are not using it during a battle?"

He sat back after he finished feeling the weapon. "Anyways, I would like to start to talk about what kind of crossbows we should use. Shall I begin?" He looked around the room and waited for any response.
