OK so I really can't decide which way I want to go with this so I want to get your opinions on it. I want Lloyd to start developing his martial skills beyond what he has now by specializing in either Sword & Shield combat, or Dual-wielding Sword combat. Now the Dual-wielding wouldn't be like short swords, they would be full length broadswords.

The main reason I want to know is to decide how the story will progress. If we go with Dual-Wielding we'll be having the full battle with the Lunar Brigade soon. If we go with sword and shield then that battle won't happen until we're about to leave Concord.

hmm. Duel-wielding broadswords would fit better.

well there is not a broadsword moon weapon

by **Aardvark** Sun Nov 07, 2010 12:23 am

A Claymore is just a long broadsword, and as I pointed out Lloyd does know how to wield the Moon Claymore. The secondary sword would be a broadsword very similar to the one Lloyd has already used.

I feel like the second sword should be just a tad smaller than the claymore.

by **tRibaL** Sun Nov 07, 2010 4:03 pm

Like a minor reflection of the first?

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure...

by **Ptolemy** Sun Nov 07, 2010 10:01 pm

well the claymore is the larger of the two swords.

by **Aardvark** Sun Nov 07, 2010 10:50 pm

Claymore:
The average claymore ran about 140 cm (55 in) in overall length, with a 33 cm (13 in) grip, 107 cm (42 in) blade, and a weight of approximately 5.5 lb (2.5 kg).

Broadsword measurements:
Weight 2.5 lbs. (1.1 kg)
Length 36 inches (91.4 cm)
Blade length 29 inches (73.9 cm)

So a Broadsword weighs half as much and is two-thirds the length of a Claymore. Now Lloyd can already wield his own sword one-handed, so while it would require training for him to comfortably wield two blades like that it's not impossible. Remember, swords in Concord are made of a different material, they are lighter and can conduct magic along the length of the blade.

Bump?

Have we given up on these?

by **Aardvark** Tue Jan 11, 2011 8:25 pm

Life's hectic right now, this takes a back seat for now.

Ditto... robotics just started up, i really dont have the time to write, but when i do ill be introducing another stones fate

by **tRibaL** Mon Jan 24, 2011 11:58 pm

Just an fyi, im still in on writing these

by **Thing** Tue Jan 25, 2011 1:12 am

Awesome.

I just don't know if it's allowed, although I'm like, 93% positive it is.

by **Aardvark** Tue Jan 25, 2011 1:55 pm

This stuff doesn't have anything to do with being a member or not. Technically anyone can come in and write one of these.

by **Thing** Tue Jan 25, 2011 4:06 pm

Just needed the wiggle room.

by **tRibaL** Tue Feb 22, 2011 3:03 am

this is on hatias until acts are over, after that i plan on getting back to work on this, while delagating time between minecraft, starcraft2, school, having a life, and jka.

by **Ptolemy** Wed Apr 20, 2011 7:03 pm

ok so where are we at with this?

by **Aardvark** Fri May 06, 2011 8:36 am

Posted. Quick notes: The High Priest is supposed to be suspicious, so if you want to do a segment with the Kinder Pto then have fun. Pretty much everyone is going to end up outside the apartment: Lloyd & Jun are heading to get Lloyd a Kodachi to serve a a back-up sword, or a just plain quick-work weapon. Stock, Damean, & Kelgori are out getting supplies of a sort, clothes, food, but open to pretty much anything, as are the Kinder.

by **Ptolemy** Fri May 06, 2011 1:41 pm

OK i can work with this. will take me a bit but i have something in mind.

by **Aardvark** Fri May 06, 2011 5:26 pm

By the way this is essentially the jumping off point for the second Act, the Lunar Brigade is going to feature a bit more prominently and I'll probably finish up with them as a group by the end.

by **Ptolemy** Fri May 06, 2011 5:42 pm

as a group you mean with Lloyd as well just what?

by **Aardvark** Fri May 06, 2011 6:59 pm

Well not looking to spoil, but essentially the Brigade will be defeated as a whole and the only one left will be Laro who I plan to expand on immensely.

by **Ptolemy** Fri May 06, 2011 7:08 pm

k generalizations are good.

Who is next?

by **tRibaL** Fri May 06, 2011 7:48 pm
