Dear Magnus,

I accept this noble challenge and will meet you to the best of my ability. Do you want me to select one from the list or all weapons? I am happy with either option.


Kindest regards

[Magnus Hagelberg]

The idea is to be fighting with all mentioned weapons.

In the air of.. the more the merrier and getting closer to those gradings of masters that's been mentioned in treatises.. I pulled this one on basis of smallest handled weapon to the largest weapon I feel secure enough with to give a decent fight. I woulnd't mind adding wrestling to the list, but as it's a bout of arms I left that one out.

[TheDude]

I await the challenge with anticipation and will fight will all the weapons listed. It shall be a most excellent clash of steel!



kindest regards





Michael Thomas
