Should such a situation occur, do not hesitate, grasp your sword tightly with your fist, then swing your cloak over your left arm. Your primary task is to protect your own body and head, followed by shouting loudly for help and calling upon your brothers in a moment of peril.


If you are popular, or if the friends you have made in the club have not gone far, you are sure to achieve a resounding victory. By the way, this move tests one's social skills immensely.
