For now, he needs to be prepared to deal with this boogeyman.
His padded shirt has served him well throughout the years, but it isn’t invincible. A strong cut or thrust from a blade, or a polearm will penetrate it.
Commissioning a blacksmith would take too long. Luckily, the associates have some surplus equipment. Dawnfall isles’ ongoing civil wars have resulted in mass production of weapons and armor, and those occasionally seep into Sablestream.
After trying out many types of armor components, Sira finds a few that offer good protection while being convenient.
Kote (armored sleeves) have mail and strips of small metal plates sewn on the fabrics, able to deflect cuts and most thrusts. Light and foldable.
Suneate (shin guards) can be worn underneath loose fitting pants. The one he chose are constructed out of metal plates and cloth, able to completely deflect cuts and thrusts. Anything that isn’t a halberd will easily glance off this.
Haidate (thigh armor) consist of two large cloth attached together, and a cord that allows them to be tied around the waist. The one he choose has small metal plates overlapping each other, capable of deflecting cuts and thrusts. He can wear these under loose fitting pants.
