Agreed. Bum rush Ears.

Don't hold back! Give your lizard brain the freedom it so desires! No mercy. No regret.

Wait, you find it hard to do combat scenes and yet decided to run an ISG about someone who engages in a lot of combat? Go you for challenging yourself!

Charge ears while knuckles is stunned, your highest chance is a 1v1 so you must not allow them to regroup (Kill the bastard)

+1, draw the knife if it would help.

+1, nix on the knife- dual-wielding is for fantasy book covers.

Knuckles looks like he'll be busy for a minute. This is like beating up malnourished geriatrics. I'd feel bad, if they hadn't apparently caused the death of the shop's owner.

Time to find out what Ears is up to-

Combat roll: 2 +1 = 3 vs. 4 +2 = 6 [Mel's defence successful (+3)]



Zowie, that was close. Back on the attack!

Combat roll: 4 +1 = 5 vs. 3 +1 = 4 [Ears's defence failed (-1)]



...well, not what I was hoping for but now he can't glass me in the face and that should have messed up his hand. He's nowhere near out of it, though.

	Athletics: +1 Mel's jacket makes her fatigue faster. Adrenaline is lending her extra strength.
	Deftness: Unpenalised. Mel's usual +1 bonus is nullified because she's stressed.
	Defence: +2 against small slashes. +1 against stabs.
	Pain Tolerance: +1 Currently in no pain. Adrenaline is letting her fight on.

Recall watching a documentary about slaying goblins.

I have not watched Goblin Slayer, but I have heard the legends. Rest assured, nothing worse will happen to Mel than possibly severe maiming, total dismemberment, and/or the destruction of vital organs.

In art, my philosophy is that if I'm not sure what to do I should do what's most difficult. Also, you guys have taken the most combative job in the most combative way possible.

I am for once super happy with the quality of this update. I'm getting much more of a handle on Mel's face from different angles, and also I finally did what I should have done weeks ago and made specific toning brushes. >_> Also, a cookie for anyone who manages to notice all the references I make in this game.

Oh, and say hello to the Small Bad, I guess. He is very slightly scarier than the other two gobbos. I'm glad the rolls stopped being so silly, too.

There might not be an update on the 7th. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow and the next day I'm flying across the country for my grandma's funeral (no condolences necessary, she died the way she always wanted). I might be able to squeeze in some time to draw a short update, but nothing on the scale of this one (which took me... six? Seven? Hours).

Glass bottles seem to be unusually fragile in this universe.
Well, trying to parry a speeding wrench with just an already damaged bottle could pretty reasonably cause it to break. Tossing a seemingly intact bottle into the next room probably shouldn't outright shatter the thing, though. Even though that the logic that every videogame with throwable bottles uses.

Ears is disarmed and probably can't do much damage to us, so focus on offence!

It's, uh, nice to have an assurance that the worst this ISG will be horrific, agonizing, gruesome death? I guess that's reassuring?

[Kashyyk]

Keep up the assault, we gotta at least stun Ears before Knuckles comes around.

Go hard or go home is an admirable work ethic Arx. I look forward to how you handle less punchy scenes.

I don't expect Mel to suffer grievous bodily harm or death, but I am prepared for the possibility.

Also, maybe it's just a fragile bottle! I haven't tested how breakable they are, I must confess.

The update tomorrow I'm thinking will move things along a bit more quickly, since there's not a whole lot of discussion to be had right now. It miiiight end up a little late, depending on how easy I find things to draw.

That's winded him. Ears is out of it for a few seconds, but Knuckles has regained some of his senses. I can probably take one of them out of the fight for good here, but I'm not sure which to go for.

Sorry, short update. For whatever reason, life is a struggle right now.

[Doomblade187]

Stab ears. No need to dual wield, but Let's end this.

[Egan_BW]

Ears is the stronger one. Drawing that knife would be an honest pain and we only have a second's opening, so go ham with the wrench.
