"In general, there are two kinds of fighters," Thane explained to Ashlynn on a dark and misty night in the Vale of Mists before her departure. "Power fighters," he said, lifting a large and heavy two handed sword, before delivering a crushing overhand blow to one of the practice targets. "And speed fighters," he added, lifting a lighter, slender rapier and deftly puncturing the target several times in quick succession.
"Which kind of fighter are you?" Ashlynn asked, furrowing her brow at him as she caught her breath after several minutes of intense practice. She found him to be both much faster than her and to be significantly stronger so she struggled to place him in either category.
