No need to rush people. Lommy and Greenie just went to their mother's place and I'm starting to pick up the pieces for the Q-staff -thing. It will anyway take a few posts - which also means a few days - to have it done.

The problem with the latter is that it calls for 11 matches of quarterstaff fighting... I'm afraid I'll run out ideas before it's completed - and it takes hours to write and read.

But I'm working on a concept right now and here's a few I've been entertaining myself with thus far. If anyone is around, please comment:

1. Totally anarchic three way fight, everyone against the two others. Short-lived alliances, treachery, cunning "back-whacking" (thanks for the term Foley!).

2. A litle more ordered three way fight where at any time there are only two fighting each other but either one can call the third one to the fray in their place by fex. touching them with the staff or something.

3. A team fight (teams of two or three). The teams might be something naturallish like "resident craftsmen", "newcomers", "household staff"... whatever, depending mostly on whether there would be teams of two or three.

4. Other?


I'll be online for a few hours so please feek free to come forwards with your opinions.
