I know it's short notice but would anyone be interested in some training classes at Geddon? I was looking at holding five:

1) Basic sword and board.

2) Florentine.

3) Archery.

4) Weapon checker.

5) Missile checker.

I'd probably be looking at 1-2 hour (at most) blocks for each. The weapon checker and missile checker classes will probably not be that long. I'll post training outlines within the next couple of days if people are interested in the classes. Ideally, I'd like them to not interefere with fighting but that leaves very small windows, typically right after weapons check and after the day's fighting but before feast. The latest information will be posted at Troll no later than Thursday.

i'd be up for the missle checking. will there be a template & string tester available?

I would most definitely be up for Weapons Checking and basic sword and board. there's always something to learn

If you need help let me know.

I'd be interested in many of these. Seriously, your foundation can not be too strong.

I would be interested in both checking classes. Would be nice to know the basics of those two things.

I'd be interested in all except archery. And thats because I dont have enough cool points to be an archer. Or was it money?

My plan right now is to have these sometime during/after weapon check has taken place so that we'll have actual examples to use. The templates and scale should be there.

Works for me.

I'd like to do the the weapons check classes. It always helps to be able to know if your weapon is going to pass or not before you submit it to a weapons checker.

Hmmmm, Legendary Kyrian Florentine, this could be beneficial.

I'd be happy to attend as many classes as possible.

That has a nice ring to it. Can I copyright that?

To those who are planning on attending the fighting classes, I would ask that you try and bring the equipment needed, i.e., sword and board, two swords, or a bow and a few arrows. Thanks.

I'll help for a few classes.

alright do we have set when and where these are gonna be?

I would love to brush up on basics. I need it.

And learning to do weapons checks would make me more useful to my realm. (Now I'm just the old man they like to hit.)
