[Ansteorra] Questions regarding slings & Tavern Fights

[HE Chiang Chi-sh h]

We did a boffer tavern brawl many years ago here in Bonwicke. We had some 
really strange weapons among them were torches, stools, a dog. I managed to 
get hit in the face with a boffer stew. We even had a boffer drunk, fellow 
made a suit from foam and duct tape. A good time was had by all.
