Marshmen's Sticks

Rough-hewn lengths of wood, thick enough to grip but light enough to swing. The marshmen wield them as blunt instruments, battering the TARDIS exterior with heavy, rhythmic thuds. Their ends show the marks of prior use—splintered and darkened by rough contact with resistant surfaces, including K9’s metallic skull, which cracks apart under the force of a direct strike.

The marshman’s stick acts as both weapon and message, used to batter the TARDIS and deliver a brutal, unambiguous physical response to K9’s diplomatic overture. The stick’s force fractures K9’s metallic skull, making it a symbol of the cavern’s violent order.
