So, you decide to give the ol’ sap a visit. Adjusting your Dagger Stabber and preparing your most intimidating look, you don’t expect this meeting to last very long. You’ll get your money today or the chap will be bleeding from the spleen. You’ll let him decide.

This bestselling Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is used for maintenance of Live Action Role Playing foam weapons and equipment covered with latex and/or varnish.

Directions for use:

Latex equipment must be coated with a thin layer of silicone at all times. This prevents the surfaces from drying out, and will prolong the lifespan of your latex equipment. Always check your latex equipment before and after each use. Spray the silicone directly onto your latex product and work it into the entire surface (avoiding leather handles) either with a piece of cloth or using a flat hand. If necessary, wipe off any excess with a dry cotton cloth. Always store your latex equipment in a dry and dark place.

As an Adventurer, you never know who you might be working for or what beast you’ll be sent to dispatch next. There’s only one thing for certain: if there’s enough money or glory to be had, you’re the right person for the job.

Admittedly, when the farmer came running into town claiming his crops had been torched, you hadn’t anticipated a trap. By the time you realized that the farmer was luring you into a bandit ambush, they already had you captured. At least your Ready for Battle Sword is safe in your swordholder! Now, if you can just wiggle out of those ropes enough to grab the hilt…A bandit notices and takes your sword for himself.

You really need to rethink trusting farmers.

The forest is serene this morning as you head out along the trails. Birds are singing and the weather is crisp, perfect for working without breaking too much of a sweat. But as you approach the dead tree you’d marked the day before, you believe you hear something in the underbrush.

Your calloused, strong hand wraps around the handle of your Ready for Battle Axe. The edge is freshly sharpened, and you’re ready to defend yourself from any beast that you might find--relieved as a neighbor’s dog comes bounding out from a bush, instead.

Back to work.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready for Battle Axe is a classic latex war axe that will serve a rural warrior, homestead defender or Viking raider equally well. The 60 cm axe has a 55 cm wooden handle and a large rectangular axe head. The head is 12 cm long from bite to handle, with a 15 cm curved edge.

Use this axe with a shield for a Celtic or Viking look. Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords
• Also referred to as a splitting axe or carpenter’s axe depending on the axe’s head shape and its use
• First hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle

Your Knight’s Code is one of valor, truth, and courage. You are tasked with defending the innocent and the weak, and today your oath is being tested. Outside of town there has been a bandit attack on a merchant and his family, and it’s up to you to rescue them.

Your squire secures your Wing Sword to your belt, and with a prayer to your God you and your small unit strike out onto the road. The sword is a reminder that you are a weapon of justice.

Criminals be warned.

This couldn't be how it ended. Alan dead in the muck, leagues away from home, only to die in the sand. His thoughts raced in the sickly sweet smelling air. Peach and copper and mango and wheat grass all fought inside his nose as the other man breathed in his face.
"This is the last dagger you'll ever see, Crusader Dog!" the hashshin crowed, as he sat astride Samuel, knife to his throat as he lay in the sand just outside what he thought to be his final goal. 
This took Samuel by surprise "So it's a dessert dagger, then?" 
"Yes, it's a... no! Wait, what?!" But that was all the distraction he needed. A swift headbutt rang both of their helmets like bells, the chainmail on the kulah khud jangling in harmony like the smaller ones attached to festive holly. As his assailant reeled Samuel shoved him off and sprang to his feet. Quickly grabbing his templar shield, he delivered a swift kick to the ribs and then ran inside the building.  
"For the Sovereign!" Samuel roared "Juice Vault!"

WOULD YOU SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE FOR THE PHARAOH?
