Well. I am glad that so many have already answered
my call. I'm still recruiting, though; better too many than too few.
Meanwhile, is there a good swordsman (or swordswoman, that's just as well) among those already enlisted who would be willing to teach those who have not yet learned how to wield a sword (and who do not have an alternative weapon or won't fight anyway)? I would very much appreciate that, as I am a bit on the busy side right now. Maitimo? Young Elrohir? Anyone else?
And could I have a word with one of the wizarding folk? Preferably one Professor McGonagall?
(Also, I might need a mortal volunteer. Don't worry, it shouldn't be dangerous.)
