It was a nice fight.  Too bad ...

Bzzzzt.  Wrong.  Why do you think people bother wearing Helms?  Also, your
PR didn't seem to have enough accuracy to hit the attack location.  If the
first five hits were to the right arm, she would've won...

Despite having used the Epee successfully against APA-F, I still don't like
to.  You're still going to bounce attacks off of armor, and you don't want
that.  I still say use the Longsword.  You do more damage, and speed isn't a
factor againse someone in heavy armor, anyway.
