Wendy was in town for EK Coronation, so we snuck in a lesson while she was here.
Second half of training we got into the Cloaktober spirit with a simple attack option drill — glide or disengagement.
We focused on adapting single rapier principles and actions to cloak to begin.

This week we looked at exploring cloak-extended guards for Cloaktober.
Here Matt works on his cloak-extended terza, or as we jokingly call the Anglerfish Terza.

Cloaktober 2022 Rewind
Lady Minerva's quest took her to the frigid land of the far north. Although it smelled like goat, she thought it was a wise to have kept the old cloak her aunt had gifted her before she left.

Last week of Cloaktober...
Our beginners and intermediate fencers work through some cloak parries… in slow motion!
Partying with the cloak has the benefit of keeping the sword free to strike at whatever angle is needed.

Cloaktober 2022 Rewind : Merchants Cloak
Every month Nadine came back to trade the grimoires and manuscripts she recovered from the old forgotten monastery. Some of them were dedicated to medicine others to fables and history, but she kept for herself those about spicy romantic poetry.

Cloaktober 2022 Rewind : Chimera Cloak
His quest accomplished, the young boy returned to his village where he would be greeted as a hero. But on his face there was no pride, only sorrow for having brought down such a magnificent creature.

Historical fencing with that vintage vibe!
Another batch of fun photos from Cloaktober. We had the pleasure of hosting Olivia Treuber (aka Boomslang Photography) recently.
She's an amazing local photographer that still uses old school film. Check out her work!

In the Iron Keep, the punishment for renegade mages is to wear "the grip", a leaden device which blocks magical abilities. But years have worn out this instrument and could shatter at any moment.
