Actually Taliesin did sneak into I forgot the sorceress's name's hut to
drink her potion that gave him the wisdome to become the greatest of the
bards ergo picking locks is something very much they would stoop to. infact
almost every of the wise ones was known for being a bit of a rogue..
Amergin was discribed in atleast one tale of wearing the war colors of his
clan which was chain.. and though he did not fight directly his song
inspired the battle. He was also trained as was every celtic boy and many
of the women in combat.. and being the son of a chieftain would have had
armor.. the histories really are rather dynamic.
