“Why did we volunteer for this mission again?” asked Voddick, hefting the ungainly javelin.
“Triple pay and first choice of pillage?” replied Gollaon. “Besides if we let this drag on much longer they are going to start killing the servants and slaves rather than feed them.”
“True and this siege has been bloody enough as it is,” agreed Voddick.
“Now, we throw on the count of three. One, two, three!”
Siege Javelin
These heavy javelins often have a blunt tip and it is not uncommon to find the shaft marked with motto and comments such as “Take this!”, “Knock Knock” and similar. They are not well balanced being rather point heavy.
