Weapons: Heliae(D), Avien(D), Aliadne(L), Mavyn(?), Halinne(?)
Just for my reference (and for you to laugh if I get it ridiculously wrong. ;p)
Heliae, at first glance, seems only to be carrying a ninjaken (held deceptively in a katana/overlong sheath); Avien, by contrast, in a glance looks to be empty-handed. Neither of them have named weapons. Avien’s usually carrying more than you suspect. (But really, it’s because I’m lazy and can’t find any more “sneaky” weapons.)
Both Aliadne’s weapons are visible; Heartweeper, her ceremonial sword at her side, and Rampant-flying Cacophony, her polearm on her back. She carries a(n emergency) dagger in a hidden sheath, close-range, or goes bare-handed.
Mavyn and Halinne carry their named weapons, a metal bo and a bow (and arrows) repectively, in sight, but hide their secondary weapons. In Mavyn’s case, the bo is to keep enemies away, and the butterfly knife in her sleeve is if they get too close or if her bo is knocked away. Her primary focus, as a metalmage, is to either strengthen the metal in her weapon(s), or to keep them far enough so that they can’t hit her while she prepares and slings her spells. Halinne carries a far-range weapon primarily to assist and back up Avien. She declines to use her bow in mid- to close-range combat. She carries a pair of sai, mostly for defensive purpose, while she prepares her spells.
