Was It Likely?

SHOUT!   OUT! i think??? much violence is done with the body alone in the Stolen World; your guts can be braided with wire until they turn to garottes, your gums studded with poisoned shells, your ribs pierced with stone rings until they are like stone themselves. still, some do not not wish to bring war with them wherever they go, and make weapons and armor they can shed more easily. for either, these are the materials they use.  wood is used in many weapons, but does not count as a material; wooden clubs are set with stone teeth, wrapped with metal bands, etc.  in the case of a ranged weapon, it is the material of the ammunition that counts, not the weapon itself.  Metal (when metal arms or armor are openly seen, people will flee, unless they are armed with ceramic or stone, in which case they will attempt to drive you away, attacking if you refuse. metal arms and armor rust to useless if they get wet 3 times, or stay wet for 3 days, without being oiled in between)...
