Stiletto

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. A dark knight has destroyed both your shield and sword during a duel, and he advances upon you.

This honorless fiend believes he has won, but you will not allow yourself to perish without taking this evil with you in the process. You grab for your Stiletto still at your waist, and prepare to make a final desperate attempt to lodge the blade between the dark knight’s armour.

Let your god guide your hand...for you have only one chance.

You slide your Thief Gloves over your hands. Dexterous fingers need the freedom to move, and these gloves protect your hands without sacrificing your ability to pick even the most trickiest of locks.

Such a lock sits before you, carefully wrought and designed, and you work your lock picks with expertise. With a decisive ‘click!’ the lock comes undone and you open the chest to reveal the most beautiful gem you’ve ever before seen.

The streets are dangerous, overrun with criminals and ruffians. The only thing protecting the merchants and civilians is the Watch. You are a member of the Watch, and it is your duty to guard the regular citizens of your city.

At night you patrol the streets, your sword and a pair of Handcuffs ready. You protect the people who are not rich enough to hire their own bodyguards--it is your life’s calling to help.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Handcuffs are a set of simple looking irons for locking the wrists together. Each solid metal cuff is made from darkened mild steel, connected by a strong metal chain that can be attached to the belt using a hook. A metal crossbar is used to lock each cuff shut.

To lock the cuffs, each bar is fitted with a simple lock. When adjusted, the lock allows the crossbars to move up or down the cuff in order to release or trap hands. These Handcuffs are a perfect detail or prop to add to a guard costume.

HISTORY

• The term handcuffs is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word, handcop (that which catches the hands)
• Reference to handcuffs have appeared as early as 4th century B.C.

You hold your knife between your teeth, keeping it accessible while your hands are busy using your Thieves Tools to pick a noble’s unguarded luggage. Leaving anything valuable without a guard is like an invitation to steal it...at least that’s been your experience.

With a satisfying ‘click!’ the lock comes undone and you pry the chest open to reveal--oh, yes! That will do nicely. You pocket what looks to be a sizeable purse and a few interesting looking weapons, before carefully replacing the lock and sneaking out of the tent undetected.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Thieves Tools are a collection of steel and brass tools designed to pick locks or disable traps. The set includes a lock pick, mini saw, functional brass magnifying glass, universal key and a tiny hammer.

Whether you are a rogue looking to make an easy coin, or an adventurer who wants to be ready for the most dangerous dungeons, the Thieves Tool set is a great prop to have!

HISTORY

• Lockpicking has been around since the first locks, as both a criminal act and a hobby
• King Louis XVI of France was a designer, picker, and manipulator of locks

"But knives just don't seem very," The Duke mulled over his choice of words "Honourable?"

The Lord Commander was prepared for this "True, your Grace, but we need a close quarters weapon. Something that can be used in narrow corridors of the Juice Vault!"
