The Name Tiria

[Groddil]

A hard rock flung at somebody's head at a high speed could probably do a lot of damage.

But aren't they small?
Like...
I mean...

Kind of off topic but...
Slingstones.
I didn't used to think that they were dangerous enough to kill a beast but then in the later books everyone was like "OMG Slingstones!!1!-!1!"

So.
Can someone care to educate me on Slingstones?

Sings were typically three feet in length, while the stones were a little rather small, a little larger then a fat cherry I'd think. The ones used in Rome were made of lead, though usually they were shaped river pebbles, ground down to be round.

They could be thrown nearly 200 yards accurately, at about 60 miles an hour, about as fast as a car driving on the highway.

Something that small, with that much momentum behind it can do some serious damage. Now obviously armor negated the effect, but most characters in the Redwall series don't wear armor, so they are still a devastating weapon.

Interesting, thanks.
Not to mention how scary that sounds.

Guys, we can stop arguing over how Tiria is pronounced because it's obviously pronounced "to blave" which everyone knows means "to bluff" so she was probably playing cards and she cheated and...

Eheh.

Armour didn't negate the effect. Slings were used to devastating effect against armoured hoplites in the Greek city states' frequent wars against each other.

There is no cure other than a bullet to the brain. She's just so perfect it's annoying.

A bullet.... or perhaps a slingstone.

Spoiler

Rather, a pointy, ninja-star shaped slingstone.
