Other:
To say Bjarke is armed to the teeth would be a very accurate statement. With him at all times he carries a one handed crossbow, though he only carries 6 bolts. On his right hip is a set of 3 different Francisca throwing axes, all identical to the next. Holstered on his belt behind him is a small hatchet, less of a weapon and more of a utility, it is still very effective for fighting foes. Holstered on his left is a
sword with a reach of 30 inches. Strapped to his right boot sits a
Dirk crafted from the broken blade of what was formerly a full length sword. Mounted on his back rests a
two handed Battle Axe. Directly behind his axe sits a two handed
greatsword with a reach of 48 inches.
