WHEN || Saturday, April 7th from 10am onwards
HOW || Actionspam

It's that time again.  New squires would have heard the word come 'round that there would be open weapons orientation this Saturday - which is also open to anyone who just wants to come spar with the newbies as well.  As before, at the top of the main staircase is the entrance to an incredibly spacious room, that has gym and weight training equipment on the wall near the door, and then lots of old school training dummies and more at the far end. A glass door enters into a firing range, and another pair of large doors on the farthest wall lead to the armory.

With Dovan and Luthir gone on missions, a surly looking Sir Lanston stands waiting for you all, decked out in his elaborate full plate, though he has no helm on.  He leans on an incredibly dangerous looking sword, as Fred offers a much more friendly greeting to the gathered, motioning them all over.

Alright, so usual spiel. The armory's located through those back doors, and you can use your key card to get in there at anytime. Same for the firing range, through there.We've got almost anything you can imagine by way of arms or armor, and you can take what you want, and either claim it as your own or swap in and out for particular mission needs. Firearms are different: you've been issued an Excalibur, and it's yours to use up here on the range until one of us gives you the gold star to be field certified. Until then, don't go out packing on a mission.

This room is always open, and considering the Dragon's Hide is the biggest sect in the castle, there's almost always someone up here willing to spar or offer pointers. If you have any serious questions, you can go hunt down Dovan Ironsides, the section leader, in the Hide wing, which is down the back hall to the right when you get up the steps.

Accidents happen, even when we're all looking sharp, which I suggest you do since things can get pretty dicey up here when the pros are going at it, so the Med Center and Cleric wing are straight out across the hallway. Don't worry - despite whatever rumors you might have heard recently, most people don't wind up there on their first day.

Questions?

Armory;

At this rate you're going to wear out their ears. Let's find this batch some steel, see what they're made of. [Without another word, Lan heads towards the armory doors, and Fred shakes his head a little but gestures for everyone to follow.

Lan affixes the key card apparatus with a glare, as if it's a snake, and Fred pushes his way around him to slide his card through. The light turns green, and the doors open unto a room full of racks and racks of swords, maces, flails, morningstars, pikes, staffs, bows of all kinds, and more guns lining the walls in intimidating quantities. Lan marches into the center of the room, turning a keen eye onto each of you.]

Who's first, then? Speak up.

Melee;

[ Lan's quick to drag those who find a fitting weapon back into the main room, gesturing to where circles are marked on the floor. ]

Keep within the bounds and no hacking off limbs or you'll be scrubbing the floors yourselves. Clean spells be damned.

You can pair up, or some of you brought your nursemaids with you, I see. [ His eyes cast to the Knights who showed up with their squires. ] Anyone wants a real challenge, you can fight with me.

Ranged;

[ Fred watches those who are going with Lan with a 'God help you all' expression on his face. Part of him's afraid to leave you guys alone with him, but whatever. He jerks a thumb over his shoulder in the direction of the firing range doors. ]

Guns, bows, or other ranged weapons, you're comin' with me. Let's see what we're working with.

ota!

[Riddick is here, arms crossed and watching all the activity in the room. He is much more comfortable meeting all the new Squires and so has decided to offer himself as another sparring partner if anyone is interested.

He has no obvious weapons on himself, so it should prove interesting whoever comes to challenge him.]
