Star Shield

Star ShieldYour Knight's Code is one of valor, truth, and courage. You are tasked with defending the innocent and the weak, and today your oath is being tested. Outside of town there has been a bandit attack on a merchant and his family, and it's up to you to rescue them. Your squire straps your Star Shield tight onto your arm over the weight of your chainmail, and with a prayer to your god you and your small unit strike out onto the road. Criminals be warned.

A stiff full-grain leather flange is stitched to the lower edge to help turn blows away from the hips

Your usual tactic involves skirting around the battle

it is 80 cm wide and tall

you're less likely to take a pesky arrow to the knee--thus increasing your adventuring days

The shoulder plates are strapped on at the gorget and around the upper arms

Your King Holder is a frog embellished with stitched leather and a star design

You are exhausted and are unsure how much longer you can last when you see a break in the front lines

it's a sure sign that you're skilled enough to steal from the best

The high waist rests just under the ribs and is secured by three long

drunk and unaware what lurks in the alley waiting for him

You don't expect this meeting to last very long

after all--or at least one that is smart enough to still be alive
