Blade and his son could not have made themselves heard if they had wanted to.

Blade turned back to the fight, and made his decision.

In the next few seconds, Blade made several more things happen.

It was true that Blade had just made a head count.

Blade made a gesture that took in the water and the land around them.

Blade made a motion to get out of the chair.

The blade had made some noise when he dropped it, enough to cause the men at the fire to stop talking for a moment.

Blade made himself small and moved behind a group of drunken officers.

Blade made a pouch of skin and took what he needed.

It didn't occur to me that the blades could also make effective weapons.
