"How about... these throwing knives?"
"Um..." Angel is pretty good with them, considering that she's never touched a throwing knife in her life, although not nearly as talented as with the sword. She stops trying after she almost impales Selina with an over-enthusiastic throw.

"...I wonder if I could work my magic into this somehow."

After recovering from the earlier bouts of laughter, Alex goes looking for stuff.
For armour, a suit of mesh armour reinforced with a solid breastplate, greaves and vambraces (with a built-in set of claws), enchanted for light weight and silence. Covering it, a large and lightly-armoured hooded cloak with a chameleon enchantment. Also a buckler and a light helmet with a blank white mask enchanted to not impair vision. For weapons, a hand crossbow and bolts, a short spear, short sword and a couple of daggers.
Plus an armour bracelet for emergencies.

"A... a Warg... m-m-maybe...?" Selina isn't sure she could even fight a normal wolf, let alone a warg, but she wants to sound like shes contributing.
"That would be nice. I would like a pet puppy to Improve."

Victoria grabs a set of armor similar to that of Fortuna's. She examines it.

None to be found.

Which is strange, considering the place has everything else.

Farah snorts at the guys holding swords. "Those are going to do fuck-all... There's a reason why no army uses them anymore."

"On the contrary, magic channels better through physical contact with a weapon like a sword than through indirect contact through, say, a bullet. So usually we use melee or straight magic, since mundane attacks don't tend to work."


Angel twists her wrist, and gets encased in a slightly oversized set of very heavy plate armor.
"How do I get this off? And where's lighter stuff?" Angel's voice is echoing in the helmet.

((Not how they work, the armor is light as a feather and shapes to your form.))

((Database errors suck))
"So would that mean a mace channels better than a sword if contact is important?"

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Victoria grabs a set of weapons specified as follows:
Misdirection Knives
-Weighted throwing knives with a gap in the center. Single use enchantment on each of them which induces an electrical current through the rail-like blade halves to propel a dense metal. The railgun function is single use as it destroys the knife in the process and is quite inaccurate. It activates when a certain amount of time passes after it's trigger button is depressed.

Anti-Material PDW
-A cut-down PDW that resembles a heavily modified M82. It's bullets are similar to Raufoss Mk 211 rounds but are of significantly lower caliber. It comes with a magical silencer and is accurate in single shots though accuracy rapidly deteriorates for extended fire.
Victoria places the armor back and continues look for light armor.
-Skirmish Armor-
She finds a set of lightweight ballistic armor with thin, overlying titanium plates enchanted to make the user harder to see or hit. She then places a loose kevlar cloak over it.
((Is this loadout okay?))

Farah clicks the safety on an assault rifle on and off. It's a Welem-Garitz Semi-Automatic Assault Rifle, Model 19, more commonly known as the Wellgar Rifle. It was manufactured on the cheap by Welem-Garitz during the Ostako Emergency in 1986 so it could be supplied to Ostako rebels in the minimal amount of time, and has been used by guerrilla forces all over the globe. It's primary wood furniture, features a long barrel, an adjustable iron sights, and notable in that it is heavily modifiable: even the base parts can be taken apart and adjusted. Farah smirks, and says "It's no AK, but it'll do."

(I was bored, I doubted AK47s would exist in this universe, and worldbuilding is fun.)
(This cool? I didn't grab anything else.)

Victoria gestures towards her PDW, "Well isn't magic, mostly. Plus your rifle isn't either..."

"Well, that's good, but I'm tired of some of these fuckers going on and on about their magic. 'I took down 10 armed guys with my magic! I am the bestester.' They don't get that if they forgot about their stupid powers for 10 seconds, they could try training themselves on normal terms and be a little more prepared if they aren't in a good position to use their unique motherfucking beautiful amazing powers and not get shot in the head and left to die in a fucking ditch"
