Wulfgar

MeHow's your duty?
Wulfgar(scornful) These boys swing their swords like farmers.
Wulfgar(convinced) But when I'm done with them, every single one of them will be a tough, hard bastard.
MeI want to join the militia!
WulfgarSo? Are you a citizen of the town?
MeNo.
WulfgarThen Lord Andre won't take you.
WulfgarSure, you can talk to him - but I don't think he'll make an exception for you.
MeYes.
WulfgarThen talk to Lord Andre. He decides who gets accepted here.
MeWhat's it like with the militia?
WulfgarLord Andre is our commander now.
WulfgarThe militia used to report to the governor. (laughs) He had no idea what we do here.
WulfgarBut Lord Andre knows what he's doing. He takes good care of the men.
WulfgarEveryone who starts here gets some decent armor and a good weapon.
WulfgarAnd there are bonuses if you've done a good job. He pays a bounty for every criminal captured.
MeCan you also train me in sword fighting?
WulfgarLord Andre has ordered that we train everyone who is in a position to defend the city.
WulfgarHowever, that isn't true for mercenaries. Beat it.
WulfgarBut that's only true for combat training. All other kinds of training are reserved for the militia.
WulfgarCan you at least halfway handle a weapon?
MeI think so ...
Wulfgar(sighs) All right - you can start when you're ready.
MeWhat are the advantages of one or two-handed weapons?
WulfgarQuite simple. With a one-handed weapon, you're faster. That can be a considerable advantage in battle.
WulfgarTwo-handed weapons are more ponderous. You have to fight with foresight - but you do a lot more damage when you hit.
MeWhere should I start? With one-handed or two-handed weapons?
WulfgarThat's entirely up to you.
WulfgarIf you specialize in only one type of weapon, you automatically learn the other at the same time.
WulfgarIf, for instance, you are good at fighting with one-handed swords, but still a beginner with two-handed weapons ...
Wulfgar... your two-handed skills will go up as well whenever you train with a one-hander.
WulfgarIn that case, the training is more exhausting than if you train with both types of weapons.
WulfgarJust start and you'll soon see what I'm talking about.
MeLet's begin with the training.
WulfgarI don't train mercenaries!
WulfgarOf course, reverend.
WulfgarSo Lord Andre accepted you!
WulfgarI expect you to come here and train regularly.
WulfgarRuga will train you in the art of the crossbow and Mortis will help you to increase your strength.
WulfgarBut the most important thing is for you to learn to handle your sword properly.
WulfgarI'll make a good fighter of you yet!
WulfgarOut and about so early? I'm usually alone at this time of day. But since you're already here, you might as well learn something.
WulfgarSo pay attention. You can deceive some opponents if you dodge their blows and attack at the right moment.
WulfgarRemember that in your next fight!
