Unless it's a throwing axe or javelin, I wouldn't worry too much. Thrown weapons are more of a distraction than a lethal threat.

In fact, their gear all kinda makes them look like different kind of adventuring nobles: Tyranth the warfare-oriented type (like a former captain/general), Shad the exploration-oriented type (the one looking for unusual creatures to hunt/capture or unchartered terrain to map and name), and Nate seemed like the type of pragmatic noble (responsible, handles the party's finances/logistics) kinda just being dragged along knowing the other 2 might kill each other without them (even though would rather be eating good food and drinking good alcohol back at his keep).

[@xendordawnburst9969]

Something I noticed about Shad's performance with the throwing knives is that he kept on having to adjust his pauldrons every time he got into position! Even if the pauldrons were light weight and weren't getting in the way of his throw, he was getting distracted about keeping them in position, which meant he wasn't fully focused on the throwing! In the meantime, the other two who did not have pauldrons almost threw perfectly!

[@TrueFork]

he probably should have taken one off

[@VegetaLF7]

I live for the Shad vs Tyranth rivalry. I also love everyone caught in the middle, between Nate's "oh look the boys are at it again" and Ant's "yup, super glad to be here, going with whatever you say!" attitudes, it's half the reason I watch these. Love the weapons and the information and all that, great stuff. But the banter between everyone is just the icing on the cake.

"Tyranth has been known to use dark magic" - Ive used the same line on my mates too lol

[@---..]

A glaive is a weapon for slicing far away people. Usually using a blade on a pole, but you can also just throw the blades for a throwing glaive. At least that's a reason the name could make sense, though I'm pretty sure someone just thought "throwing glaive" sounded cool (which I do agree with).

[@HimmelsDaemon]

Perhaps something like "glaive chakram" since "throwing" got dropped and just "glaive" used for various fantasy chakrams including both fully round blades proper and "rounded" knives that don't complete an outer circle.

[@aakla]

A guard from a village was found dead with a sword sticking through his chest. The blade was deemed to be the handiwork of the local blacksmith. However, he had been away from the village by the time of the murder. Nonetheless, he was arrested shortly after returning and demanded his immediate release. The town judge decided to charge the blacksmith with murder, arguing that he had forged the weapon that ended the guard’s life and was still responsible. Before being found guilty, the blacksmith pleaded for leniency, claiming not to have personally been a part of the murder. The judge only looked at him and stated before delivering his sentence for the murder, “Thou who smelt it, dealt it.”

Shad pushes it too far. Some of the videos (like this one) end up just being him doing "I win/you lose" bants to the point of completely ignoring the subject of the video. Rather than constantly trying to win, they could have discussed what they were seeing/learning from each throw.

Legend has it that the name 'Glaive' was a hang on from the days when these blades were launched from the end of a glaive for more distance and power etc, A trait discovered in battle when damaged glaives would lose their tips whilst being swung at opponents, this very quickly led to the development of the 'throwing glaives' we know today, these ones being simply a more concealed carry/EDC version, although they were mostly used to show off whilst feasting. ;)
