[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 866472, member: 7533"] "Oh, think nothing of it, it would be a singular honor," the instructor retorts. The instructor steps aside and retrieves a small case from a nearby table. "Besides, I have a fairly new dueling weapon which you may find of particular interest. A weapon with which I believe we could each stand to learn something from the other..." He opens the case and displays what appears to be a pair of odd-looking lightsabers. They were slightly shorter than the average Jedi lightsaber, obviously meant to be weilded with a single hand, rather than the usual two-handed grip the Jedi Masters teach. And as opposed to the utilitarian lightsabers issues to the Padawans of the Jedi temple, these are beautifully crafted... Wide filigreed basket hilts guard the fists, while a crimson tassel dangles from the pommel and intricate scrollwork laces the handles. "These," he announces, showing the two weapons to all the students in the circle, "are what we in Tapani call lightfoils. Based on the designs of a reverse engineered Jedi lightsaber, this is a peculiarly elegant weapon. Though, without the experience and sensitivity of the Jedi craftmen, we have not yet been able to refine the design. Lightfoils remain, sadly, less powerful and less reliable than the traditional Jedi weapon. Nonetheless, it is still a thouroughly dangerous weapon requiring a great deal of skill and finesse to weild properly." He offers up the case to Set, "Are you certain to wish to sit aside? It is my last offer, Sir Padawan... We will teach each other, perhaps? "Choose a weapon?" [/QUOTE]
