Melee
weapon consisting of a piece of brass cast in a shape similar to
four soldered rings through which you introduce your fingers. It also has a
handle, so that you can grab it properly and use it to punch someone.
Of course, you begin the game unarmed and
will actually spend a considerable length of
time fighting either unarmed or with
hand-to-hand weapons, including various shivs, knuckle-dusters, and clubs.
