Matt happened to be home for this one, which meant he could quickly cut and construct swords, on demand (to add to cardboard cut shields I saved from a recent party). He could also present the swords to the girls with an official-sounding swearing in - aka the rules of "you promise to not poke in the eye, to not hit anybody in the head, to not hurt anyone in the belly."
Once sworn in, they settled on names deemed worthy of their weapon: "Knight Megamus" and "Knight Chewy" (Paige changed hers to the less threatening name of "Princess Ariel" midway through the game, of course). Then, with fierce faces added, they were off to battle!
I'm not certain, but perhaps Disney's animated Robin hood educated Meg in the "you just pretend to die" placement of the sword. Whatever the source, she had it down. All down except the serious face, that is!
Paige, on the other hand, was a bit more sceptical of the sword's tip after she faked a fatal blow. Was blood at the end of that point? Let's hope no real blood comes from these weapons in future days of play...
