====== Equipment ======

Carries on his person at most times:

  *Several knives: specifically 1) his 'default' pocketknife, usually a Harpy; 2) a throwing dagger; 3) a Swiss Army style "tool" pocketknife; 4) and a crude but sharp knife of wrought iron\\
  *2-3 guitar strings or piano wires, in small coils. One of these is usually in his hatband\\
  *A steel-reinforced stake made of ironwood\\
  *A crucifix, made of silver, worn on a necklace of beads\\
  *A silver cigarette case\\
  *A silver Zippo lighter\\
  *Cellular phone\\
  *Wallet\\
  *Either a wrist- or pocketwatch-- he owns several of both\\
  *A harmonica, made of silver, and a case for the harmonica\\
  *A handkerchief
  *A small vial, given by the Lady, that will instantly heal all injuries upon consumption-- one use only

If going into light-to-moderate battle, Ellis may supplement these with:

  *A hand axe (qualifies as small axe) or a machete\\
  *More throwing daggers, possibly another back-up knife\\
  *A handgun, most often a Ruger .45\\

If expecting heavy battle, Ellis's preferred gear is:

  *Police-standard body armor over torso\\
  *An AK-47\\
  *A chainsaw\\
  *A string of hand grenades.....\\
  *....and this is why we can't have nice things, Ellis.\\
  *(Ahem. Ellis engages in what he'd qualify as 'heavy' combat about once every 3-4 years.)


Found in the field:
