Creative Weaponry; Monday, Second Period [09/14].

"Congratulations!" said Amaya by way of greeting the class that morning, with a big of a grin on her face as she gave an encouraging pump of her fist. They were still sub-terranian, it seemed, rock surrounding them and sputtering torches on the walls leading their way. "You've successfully managed to free yourself from goblin imprisonment, and we've been making our way through their labyrinthian tunnels on our way back to the surface. And we're almost there! In fact, if you'll just turn this next corner with me..."

She lead them forward to do just that, which opened the scene into a larger cavern with an opening on the other side that clearly sported stone stairs going upward...but a wide, deep, almost fathomless ravine seemed to split the chamber right down the middle.

On either side of them were two wooden structures that appeared to be bases for catapults, and there were quite a few heaps of rubble, timber, stones and....mattresses scattered around. And, glowering at them from inside the ravine was a very large, very surly looking bridge troll.

"It would seem the only thing seperating us from freedom now is this here bridge troll, and he seems to be in a rotten mood. Luckily, it appears we might be able to do somehting here with these two structures so conveniently there for us to use, and goblins are notorious hoarders, so there's guaranteed to be something of use in these old piles of junk, right?"

She flashed them a grin. "I think you can see where this might be going from here. We're going to split up into two groups, and I want you all to try to find a way to defeat this bridge troll....or at least give him a good run for his money!....so that we can cross the ravine and finally get out of this goblin mess! Feel free to use any of the junk you find in the goblin hoards, though, fair warning, the likelihood of anything useful in there is few and far between, but that's the whole point of the class, isn't it?

"Alright, then, now! As for teams..."

By the time Feeya had rummage enough to find a third relatively useless item, she frowned a little as she tried to consider how any of them could be useful as a weapon against such a foe, especially when paired with a catapult.

"I suppose one could distract him with terrible violin music to enhance whatever we do come up with," she offered, since her skills did come in handy on the supportive side as well as the offensive.

"And take their picture as they wince," Shuri said, holding up her camera. "We have an ugly blue thing, too," said, showing off the blue gem, "but we can really only shoot that once."

"Perhaps if we could somehow calibrate the catapult in a way to ensure that we manage to aim that gem into its eye?" Freya mused, considering the difficulty of such a task. "I wonder if the strings of the violin might help with something like that, although it does seem a shame to destroy such a beautiful instrument."

"I have a microphone, too," Shuri said. "I'm sure we can take it apart for the wiring."

"I have a laptop," Lana added. "It doesn't work, but the circuitry might be good."
