Presumably the woman is the warrior, since the guy already has a sword.
“Yes! Now I will be able to stab people with _both_ hands!”
Bet that sword makes a really annoying scraping noise when you pull it out of the hand-stand.
“Banded chattel?” Maybe they meant “Branded chattel?” I can’t recall the word “banded” being used as a term used to describe serfs or slaves – sounds more like a zoological description.
“The most dangerous inhabitant of the Punga-Punga Jungles, Watson – the Banded Chattel!”

“THE WARRIOR REARMED: Blah blah bloo blah or Bluh blah bleh blargh?”

When someone brought his girlfriend to the AD&D session. “She can play the Houri.” “I’ll say.”

Personally, I would go with THE PLINTH DISARMED as the title.

Hey great, that sword comes with a free arm. Great if you are an unarmed warrior.

“They can have my sword when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers. I hope you brought some band-aids.”

Their stances struck me as familiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3k9e5USCGI

Careful there lady. You’ll poke your eye out!

The Sword in the Stone Redux.
Let’s try that again. Two out of three!

@Raoul: I want the Super Magical Questing Sword with Double-Sized Handle and Extra “Ting”!

What fascinated me was how the clouds or fog at the bottom make it look like the plinth is mounted upon a floating disc of rock.

The Swiss Army gauntlet has not one, but two corkscrews. They should have brought wine.

The odd thing about this cover is that the blurb and the artwork speak entirely different messages.
Blurb: BDSM Subtext
Artwork: Heroic Fantasy Quest

@Bibliomancer—I think the title was supposed to be The Warrior Three-Armed.

Is muscle boy sporting a giant band-aid just below his left non-papillial pec? Wound probably caused by trying to approach the sword from the wrong side.

Talk about “lending a hand” – then take the whole arm!

@Bruce: I agree that “banded” is an odd choice of word. Maybe that’s how it’s referred to in the book, or maybe the copy editor was out. I guess her bracelet is the “band”? Maybe she’s migratory, thus the banding by some scientist. Perhaps a bird fancier. 😉
@B’man: GSS!
@Tat: WTAF.
@Ryan: it’s fantasy, could be.
@BC: Must be why he’s now growling at it and making her stand at the pointy end. She’s understandably wary, and/or taken aback by the Ting!

“The Warrior Reared me”

ARY, GSSXN: the blurb appears to be correct on both counts. From the Goodreads reviews, it appears that the bands are some kind of mark of slavery, and certainly some of the Goodreads reviewers approach these books (there are now 5, and this is the third) as BDSM porn.
