Own a longsword for home defense, just like ye lordes of old intended. four rapscallions break into my cottage. “the bloody f**k?” as i grab my helm and swordbelt. ram a five foot blade into the first zoophile, he’s dead on the spot. draw my seax on the second zoophile, it doesn’t penetrate mail because it’s british and bruises his ribs. i have to resort to the ballistae mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with a serrated point, “your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries!” the bolt catches two zoophiles and shreds them, the force cracks my sidewalk and sends concrete flying. draw flail and run down the last terrified Zoophile. he dies of brain damage waiting for the police to arrive since blunt force trauma can’t be healed. just as the lordes of olde intended.
