Hmmm... not terribly threatening, but at least she's not on tippy-toes! Suggestions: sharpening the edge (I've seen at least 1 grinding wheel, and it may have been free), checking the blade for straightness, cleaning off rust/blood... you know all the maintenance-type stuff which goes with being a sword-bearer. It would give our heros something to do in campsites and add more variety to the galleries. Remember Aragorn? He was always cleaning his blade! Carolly
