by the Hollowjack Cantor
A guide to crafting armor and weapons in the Hollowjack style
- Conjure, conjure, jill and jack
- Harvest arms and armor tack
- Pumpkin drear and black hawthorn
- Wrought into grim garments worn
AXES
- Cur-ved blade and wicked point
- Victim disembowel and joint
- Chop and amputate and hack
- Happy work for Hollowjack
BELTS
- Cincture hold our raiment tight
- Sure and secure to prowl the night
- Straps to hold our weapons near
- Ready all for time of fear
BOOTS
- Soles of rind and pointed toes
- Shall surprise unwary foes
- Hollowjack shall ever tread
- On the corpses of the dead
BOWS
- Thorn-tree wood, bend and release
- Thor-ned arrow, mark decease
- Flet-ched dart, twist and fly
- Taking target through the eye
CHESTS
- Cuirass of enduring rind
- Guarding torso fore and hind
- Turn all weapons, point and edge
- Like impenetrable hedge
DAGGERS
- Bodkin blade dig inward deep
- Tween yon ribs and organs creep
- Like vine of orange jack-all fruit
- A pumpkin knife of ill repute
GLOVES
- Thor-ned night-black gauntlets planned
- To cover Hollowjacky hand
- But flexible so hands can strangle
- Throttle, eye-gouge, tear, and mangle
HELMETS
- Grinning Hollowjack must laugh
- Dismember, threshing, wheat from chaff
- Now inner anger embers show
- As lambent eye-slits ever glow
LEG GREAVES
- Rind and bark are intersected
- Lower limbs shall be protected
- Weapons swung and darts projected
- Shall be tur-ned or deflected
MACES
- Pointed hammer made to puncture
- Mail and armor at their juncture
- Hollowjack fair grins with glee
- Murd'ring on a killing spree
SHIELDS
- Hawthorn bark and twisted limb
- Ward with visage gaunt and grim
- Despite what weapon foe will wield
- None shall penetrate this shield
SHOULDERS
- Summon pauldrons, shoulder plate
- Deadly damage shall abate
- Rind be tough and vine be long
- Hollowjack be armor strong
STAVES
- Summon segments, mirthful medley
- Hollowjack staff long and deadly
- Casting spells good and malign
- Pumpkin daemon knows the sign
SWORDS
- Sword to cut, a blade to sever
- Crafting a condign endeavor
- Point to pommel, edge to back
- Scimitar for Hollowjack
