The Whack-a-Word game

I hope this might prove to be another enjoyable word game on this board.

 

The idea is this: the starting poster posts a word that represents a weapon (funny, serious, bizarre, whatever the case may be), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the attack. It can be as simple as "Aimed gun."

 

(If the weapon uses more than one word, it can be hyphenated but needn't be; it should be treated as one word. Ditto for the defence/armour.)

 

The second poster posts a word that represents a defence/armour to that weapon (again, it can be funny, serious, bizarre, or whatever), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the defence.

 

The second poster must then also post a weapon that starts with any of the letters in the preceding weapon word EXCEPT for either first or last letter, and use the word in a sentence describing the attack.

 

The responding poster posts in the same way as the second poster, and so on.

 

It can be written in the first person ("I raised my sword") or second person ("He/she raised his/her word").

 

For example:

POSTER 1:  JELLY-SWORD: I draw my wobbly jelly-sword from its scabbard and with a "ha!", I lunge forward.

 

POSTER 2: ELECTION POSTER: I raise my election poster and it deflects the attack.

 

LICORICE TANK: I get into my licorice tank and drive it forward menacingly.

 

POSTER 3: etc.

 

Would anyone like to start?
