"An excellent selection the lot of you!" she announced with a smile once she'd heard the responses. "For those whom preferred a weapon with range to it: remember that you'll also want to have a weapon that doesn't run out of<em>ammo</em>as well.  Those who mentioned the longbow and axes, you might be receiving guest instruction!  Well, perhaps not cutie-pie here..."<br/><br/>She gave the orc-woman another wink, and in her free hand there appeared a knife... from where?  She hadn't pulled it from her bag...<br/><br/><br/>"So, who wants a knife?  Everyone come down here and get your free knives!  Should have enough for everyone.  This one's small enough we can figure out today in class proper technique.  If you learn fast, might even have time for a little challenge for extra credit, to see who can throw a knife the best.  Comes with a prize!"<br/><br/>And thus they'd learn the basics of knives and self-defense... with a tourney at the end!
