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..."

For various definitions of 'successfully' and 'pulling off,' mind.
"It might happen again?!" he asked, eyes wide.

"Oh, that's right," Juillenne nodded. "You missed most of the summer and the camp activities. That's a prime example right there."
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
"Oh," he said, dismayed. "But they're not all...like that, right?"
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
"Not always," she conceded.
