Editing Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (section)

== Weapons of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser ==
Fafhrd commonly uses a [[sword]] which he names Graywand, a two-hand sword that he's able to use one-handed too (in later stories by necessity). He also carries a [[poignard]] named Heartseeker and a short hand-axe which has never been named. For combat at a distance, he often carries a [[bow and arrow]] which he wields effectively even while on horseback or at sea, and which he's able to use despite his final handicap (he loses a hand). The Mouser, who in one story is called "the best swordsman in the World", also fights with a pair of weapons: a "slim, curving" sword or sabre called Scalpel, and a [[dagger]] called the Cat's Claw, the latter usually hidden in the small of the Mouser's back, and the original of which had a very subtle curve. (It was a straight-bladed weapon by the events of ''Lean Times in Lankhmar''.)<ref>{{cite book |last=Leiber |first=Fritz |title=Swords in the Mist |url=https://archive.org/details/swordsinmist00leib |url-access=registration |chapter=Lean Times in Lankhmar |year=1968 |orig-year=1959 |publisher=Ace Fantasy Books |isbn=0-441-79188-3 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/swordsinmist00leib/page/25 25], 59 |edition=12th}}</ref>  As the pair are often divested of their property, these are names they apply to any of their appropriate weapons and not necessarily names of specific ones. They are absolutely not magic weapons: both the wielders are just very able in their use. The Mouser is also an expert with the [[Sling (weapon)|sling]].<ref>{{cite journal |last=Fischer |first=Harry O. |title=The Childhood and Youth of The Gray Mouser |journal=The Dragon |issue=18 |date=August 1978 |pages=29–30 |publisher=TSR Periodicals}}</ref> The Mouser, having been an apprentice magician, can do some very small enchantments, especially while dueling.
