Krikey! I'd hate to get whacked by that morningstar! Talk about a can opener. 
Forgive my bad memory, but what is the sword 2nd from the right called?
Yep, those are quads. Even though they don't reduce polycount (same as 2 triangles), the SoM engine handles textures on quads a bit more efficiently than for 2 triangles. I only did that on the top part on the Brazier because it was messing up the UV and the performance difference is negligible.
