Lucian's throw was not a bad one for technique, but his accuracy was still in need of much improvement. His throwing knife hit about 2 feet to the right and bit down from the target.

"Technique is quite good for your first throw, but the accuracy is bad. It'll get better with practise." said Jar'lan, before an unexpected weezing fit that lasted about 15 seconds. "Sorry, exuse me. Now, the next thing, is getting the spin on it. When throwing overhand, a spin is nessesary because otherwise it may not not get the blade into the target, but just smack with the hilt. When you are about to release the blade, snap your wrist back slightly, making the blade start twirling back, giving it a spin that should be about twice as fast as the blade is travelling. Now try..."

Right then he started wheezing again, motioned for you to start throwing the knives. Jar'lan walked away, continually coughing so hard it seemed to come from deep in his chest, and dissapeared back into the main room of the shop.
