No problem.
What do you think about getting a trick soon-ish (this turn, next, something along those lines) that fits our unusual first kill?
-> combining armed fighting (axe -> armed fighting) with unarmed (knee -> leg based unarmed)
Like a trick to quickly do a leg based attack after a weapon attack?

Just voting for the more unusual weapon, either option is cool though.

There are rarer weapons that are even more unusual. Weapons that we don't actually know what they looked like, as we've not found any yet, but there are a couple that we can make 'reproductions' of thanks to descriptions in sagas and the like. They're often translated and grouped together as 'halberds', though that's not really right.

I'll call the vote in an hour-and-a-half.

Alright, voting is now done. If you're unhappy with weapon choice or regret it later, don't forget that you're not locked into what you picked now.

Absolutely, but it was common for warriors to carry multiple weapons on them — if they could afford it — so they'd have a side-arm or a back-up weapon or something they can use to switch things up and get an edge in a fight

The sax was the go-to weapon of choice for warriors looking for an extra weapon.

Halla already has a backup. She calls it Hnotbresta.

... She still lacks a side-arm though.
