Quote:It would seem as if they needed three arms, one to hold on to the ladder, one to hold up the shield, and then a third for the sword or spear.The shield is slung on your back, your sword is sheathed (perhaps knife beten your teeth, as Hollywood liked to show it's pirates, arrr!), no spears indeed. And hope for the best.
