Today, class was meeting in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look much like a gym, complete with practice mats spread about the floor. The reason for the Shop and not just meeting in the gym?

The large selection of melee weapons arranged on a table at the front. Also probably the variety of orcs, trolls, and golems that currently stood unmoving on most of the mats.

"The possibility of engaging enemies in battle arises in many quests," Thor began. "Although not all," he admitted. "But those quests are not the focus of today's class! Today, I'd like to talk to you about weaponry used to engage enemies in close combat." He removed Mjolnir from where it usually rested on his hip, prompting one of the rock-golems to come to life and start lumbering towards him. A few well-placed blows dispatched the creature, who fell to the ground in a tumble of rock. "As you can see," he smiled, "the warhammer is the weapon I favor." Of course, unlike most, he could also use it as a ranged weapon, but so not the point. "Even if the technology of your world differs from what we're focusing on here today, having a basic understanding of how to utilize a weapon in a fight may be useful."

He then went on to describe the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of close-combat weapons, as well as how to select one and the correct way to hold and swing each weapon. "When you pick up a weapon, the Danger Shop will automatically adjust the size and balance of your weapon so as to be ideal for your body type," he explained. Kids, be glad Thor had Tony Stark on speed dial. Be glad Thor knew what speed dial was.

"Now, choose an opponent," he said, gesturing at the various moddable enemies, "and go forth and defeat them in combat!"
