LOSER BOWL 2016!!! While the targe is going to be a slight obstacle, Ganzorig is easily capable of landing a hit against the lumbering and blind Sir Bors. The bastard can shoot away at his target with relaxing ease, especially considering how mobile he is. The recurve bow should be able to pierce most of the plate, with the targe presenting minimal defense against Ganzorig. The scimitar should be able to damage Bors, even with his armor- the blunt trauma of each slash will throw Bors off balance, after all. However, Bors' immensely protective armor makes it a hard target to crack with slashing attacks, while thrusting with a scimitar is rather difficult. The longsword should have little problem piercing the leather lamellar, however, hacking away at the scales or thrusting into the weaker areas. The targe is just icing on the cake for Bors, giving him additional protection against Ganzorig's blows. We've discussed this; crossbows suck in this type of combat, while Ganzorig is already an incredibly skilled archer with his bow ready.
