Re: The Fantasy Trip
"Tracian Plant" - hah. Very dangerous plant.
In the SCA, I experimented for a while with a two-weapon combo of short spear and short mace. At distance, I held the spear in two hands and jabbed. If rushed, I would shift the spear to one-handed and block with it, rushing back, so as to get inside the other guy's attack - and then use the little mace to knock-knock-knock on his head. It worked often enough to be interesting. Anyway, a spear is definitely a good temporary blocking weapon against someone not practiced against it.
