Benedict Robe

The Benedictine Monks would often travel from village to village, attempting to show villagers the futility of violence and harming others, but harming themselves, as demonstrated in this historical reenactment:

These flowing and voluminous robes are made from a high quality and nicely textured cotton, sure to keep you warm and ward off ill humours.
Due to the flowing size of these robes, the small will easily contain someone smaller, the medium will fit someone large, and the large is really more of an XL (which is 40 for those that don't speak Latin).

The smell of disease is rancid in the streets, but you are the Plague Doctor. All you smell are the fresh lemon balm and rose hips in your mask, protecting you from the lethal miasma of the dying.

You wear a mask, leather gloves, and your Benedict Robe as your protection from the dangers of the world's illness, shielding you just as a knight's armour protects him from a fatal strike. To everyone else, you are a symbol of knowledge and healing...but also the harbinger of death. Looking into the blackness of your mask's eyes feels like exposing one's soul, and so even your patients harbor fear at your presence.

There is a voice inside your head. A dark voice. An angry voice. One that wishes you to do grievous harm.

You grip your Rune Spear with a firm, confident hand, a smirk spreading upon your lips. You are a cleric of the Lord of Shadows, and you are happy to serve. The runes on your weapon glisten as you call for guidance from your god. The voice crescendos...and you move in for the kill.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Rune Spear is a 190 cm latex spear inspired by warlocks and clerics of the night. In the hands of the chaotic evil, this spear features a 47 cm long spearhead and 117 cm long staff. Hand painted and sculpted, the finished result is an intimidating fantasy weapon with an intricate double-edged spearhead. Sculpted runes along the spearhead and grommets around the crossguard and pommel gives this spear a particularly vicious character.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your Rune Spear LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

The compact version is crafted to be versatile, the spear consists of two segments connected by a threaded bolt system, allowing the upper portion to be used independently as a shorter weapon when secured properly, or even mixed with other compact weapons for a variety of sizes and styles.

Fixed length Rune spears are 190cm, whilst the compact version is up to 250cm. 

HISTORY

• A form of the spear has been used for hunting for at least 400,000 years
• Spears were the most common form of weaponry during the Stone Age, and remained popular until firearms were introduced

The druid looked at Eric. A vault? Here in the Rambling Forests? The Crusader must have been mad! What kind of idiot, noble or lowborne, would expect a Druid who is minding his own business calmly collecting elder berries to juice for various rites which only a complete moron would interrupt as this was meant to be a Druid's private time to collect himself with his own thoughts.
"Uhh, excuse me?" Eric interjected "Are you aware that you said that all aloud?"

Please Note: This is technically a coreless weapon. The foam is incredibly dense along the back however, and we do not recommend using it as a throwing weapon.
It is suitable for close in, RP fights only.

Walk softly and carry one of these

The forest is serene this morning as you head out along the trails. Birds are singing and the weather is crisp, perfect for walking without breaking too much of a sweat. But as you come along a bend in the path, you believe you hear something in the underbrush.

Chainmail has become popular on the battlefield, protecting soldiers from sharp blades and arrows. But you are clever. A soldier in chainmail has every reason to fear you, because metal ring armour will do nothing against the blunt force of your Demon Slayer mace.

Your fellow soldiers gave your mace its name after your first battle--a battle which sent the enemy running in terror like demons faced with the wrath of a god. You feel rather god-like wielding it, come to think of it.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Demon Slayer is a solid latex mace for the vigilant fighter ridding the world of unnatural dangers. The mace has eight narrow and jagged flanges, each about 32 cm long. Handpainted detailing gives the mace-head and haft a realistic matte steel finish. The 16 cm handle is wrapped in split-leather for a solid grip, connected to a sculpted pummel to match the head.

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

• Flange would have been designed to penetrate armour
• Maces were first designed to cause harm without penetrating armour due to the force of their blows
• Commonly made of iron, but also occasionally copper and bronze

 Your clan needs blood in order to perform a powerful ritual before battle. You have captured many new slaves, and the chief has decided to force them into a tournament. The losers shall be sacrificed.

As the clan’s shaman--dressed in the traditional green Azog Robe--you await your first victim. There are cheers and roars of excitement from your fellow orcs as a human soldier is forced to fight one of his companions. In desperation to survive, his friendship quickly withers. His beaten opponent is brought before your altar, and with your knife you take the blood you need.

DETAILS
