Two Handed Sword (Anheim's Tale).

I've added Two Handed Sword for my weapon collection, sometimes named Greatsword. It's not the most known weapon for me so far, but against more fragile opponents such as some kinds of goblins it works woders.

It cost me few expensive scrolls, but will last for long.

I read about Ancient Swordsman, or Sword Saint as many prefer, Musashi, from island of Kozakura far to east. He selected fighting styles and weapons for his opponents. He didn't support so called 'battle stance' (of any kind), preferring instead to strike from any position in any conditions, including terrain. Against opponent who relied on his greatsword length, he had chosen even longer sword. To mess with his mind and style i think. It worked for Musashi.

I am not like famous Musashi, who chose sword (in any form) over woman. I am different.

Later i've tried Two Handed Sword against weaker goblins. Noticeable improvement, even with my lack of skill. I cut two with one strike more than few times ('Cleaved' them).

I've learned how to 'Cleave' when i had basic monk training in monastery elsewhere. They nicknamed me 'Black Cloak' (which is Enlightened Protective Energy) there, as i've protected them and the dead from being abused. For inspiration, i think. Basic monk training included Martial Arts. Those strange moves i didn't understand before, suddenly became useful when i wielded Two Handed Sword. Just like with Spear and other weapons.

Goblins still are a challenge, but i wish to learn tricks of this new weapon when fighting against them.

I've used and will use other weapons too (Long Bow included). We shall see, dear Journal.

Even later i've met Marthoussca again. She gave me better quality Two Handed Sword, and Holy Water Sprinkler, which is morningstar with hollow end (it sprays holy water at opponents). Very useful against Undead. For second favor, at the same terms.
