Sacrificing the blocking capacity of a shield, the two handed sword has superior reach and power compared to its single handed counterpart. Using this weapon gives you a considerable advantage when using this weapon in swinging motion.  But opponents with a wooden staff have better reach than you so be careful.

Two handed sword combat is your best option for earning cash if your weapon skills are not great.  You can hit hard enough with just your base damage to quickly take down opponents, but you will be taking damage so unless you have damage reduction enabled in your options winning that 250 denar prize will require lots of finesse.  When approaching archers try and be moving sideways from their aiming direction, especially when they are about to release.

To improve your chances, you can pick up a shield from a fallen enemy and wear it on your back during fights for extra back protection. This enables you to hold it up front while advancing toward the archer, switching back to the sword when appropriately close.
