Weapons:
+A Long sword he forged himself. The edges are hardened to stay sharp for longer, and the center of the blade is tempered. It has been very well cared for over the years. The ends of the crossguard were formed to act as small hammerheads to be used when holding the weapon in a mordhau stance. The hilt is made of ash wood and wrapped in leather that is changed once it is worn out. [X]
+Rondel dagger, made for penetrating weak points in armor. Normally tucked into his belt. [X]
+Arbalest. A simple arbalest designed to easily pierce plate with its 1,200 lbs of draw force. It has a crank to enable quicker loading times. Its fastest loading time is 30 seconds, but on consecutive shots loading time would be extended due to the need to reset the crank. It is kept on his back. (If you have a problem with this, have a conversation with me and I will kindly tell you why its done.)[X]
+Poleaxe. One end of the head is that of an axe, and the other resembles a hammer. The top of the head is a spike to be used for stabbing. It stands several inches above his height. [X]
+Warhammer. A weapon designed to puncture and dent even the most well made plate armor. Made of tempered steel, the metal has a bright white sheen to it. The handle of the weapon is made of ashwood, and the weapon is roughly two feet long, give or take a few inches. The majority of the weight is centered at the head of the weapon. [X]
