Things I learned at Fighter Practice today.

Things I learned at Fighter Practice today:

a) Do not go left-handed daneaxe if you suck left-handed, especially against another daneaxe. You will eat a world rocking counterblow.

b) Windrose makes anti-semetic helms regarding Jewish noses. That or I need to pad my helm a little better.

c) My spear form defense is getting much better, but my offence is going to kill me.

d) Counts can use greatswords to throw nuketastic face thrusts that stop being screaming fast and devastatingly powerful 4" from your face and land with a rather unpowerful, & quite chivalric, tap.
Fall down seven, get up eight.

Ha!  :)

I especially like (d).
"Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history." - Roger the Shrubber
