Adventurer Swordholder - Left Hand Draw (Brown)

Ever seen a proper swashbuckler without a decent swordholder? Didn't think so. Fancy yourself one? Get this.

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 Adventurer Swordholder kept your sword safe! Now, if you can just wiggle out of those ropes enough to grab the hilt…A bandit notices and takes your sword and your Adventurer Swordholder for himself.

You really need to rethink trusting farmers.

“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”

Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

Sneaking through the bandit’s hideout, you pause as a particular chest catches your eye. A true adventure always comes with its fair share of loot, you think, as you inspect for traps. All seems well as you start to pick the lock, wondering what sort of treasure the bandits might be hiding.

The lid opens with an awful creak--you’re sure someone will have heard it!--and as you look inside you are excited to find the entire chest full of stolen coins and gems. You don’t have much time as you scoop several handfuls into your Imperial Leather Bag, thanking the fact that your bag is big enough to carry so much, before you jingle toward the exit.

It’s about time something good came out of this journey!
