If Grubber the goblin smacks the long sword under Argus's arm, will he take damage under the spirit of the rules?
I would say yes, as Argus is effectively blocking while holding a weapon in an illegal manner (by the blade using his armpit, rather than by the grip using his hand), and thus cannot block with said weapon without taking damage.
