Fighting Wednesday Night

Robert called and said he would like to stop by last night around 6:30. I contacted Ervon to see if he would like to have a fighting practice and help get Robert ready for his authorization. We started at about 7pm and the three of us fought until dark. Robert did much better than his last practice and was working in thrusts a bit more. I think a couple more practices should see him ready to authorize.
Ervon loaned Robert a sword and some body armor for the practice. Robert also used Ervon’s round shield and decided he liked that style better. It may have helped that the shield was a bit lighter than the one he had been using.
Robert needs a gambeson because the chain he is wearing is leaving small round spots where he is getting hit. He seems to be stuck on using chain so we will have to make sure we get it padded better.
