I love some of those Subnormality comics.
Anyway, I just had a moment of badass in Adventure Mode. Not only did I manage to wipe out a small bandit camp with an axeman without having to resort to tossing millions of rocks, although I did use the head of my first kill as well as an arrow I pulled out of my leg to take out my primary target (archer), but I managed to dodge the guy enough to beat the crap out of him and lop off his firing arm before finishing him.
But that's not my badass moment. I went to a nearby camp (also assigned), and in an open field (unfortunately), I got shot in the liver with an arrow by, you guessed it, another PT archer. In a flash, I took the arrow out of my liver, and threw it back at the archer who shot at me, and got him in the leg. Mind you, I put no training in throwing either, and I got the guy from 5 tiles away, while being shot at.
Battle hasn't finished yet, but I'm almost in range to demolish the guy before taking on his comrades.
UPDATE:
Well, that was a hell of a battle, I used the same arrow I pulled out of me, which he pulled out himself, and drove the same arrow back into the same wound (via throw), and despite having a mortal wound (thanks to another arrow; I'm having a hard time breathing right now), I managed to win the archer's head. Let's see if I can kill off his comrades before I collapse. At least I'm in standard pain. I'm cut up, but nothing's missing or drained yet. My guy is badass. He might just shrug it off and scare off the rest. Especially since I'll introduce myself using their leader's head as a sock puppet as my greeting.
For some reason,
the first episode of Frisky Dingo comes to mind at that thought. Look 43 seconds in.
UPDATE UPDATE:
Struck down one of the comrades, and lost the other. I managed to get home to report my kill, and my lung went from wounded and cut to a mere
bruise scar (breathing has recovered through the day of traveling). Hell yeah! Onward with a small team now! The guy that assigned me the task was surprised I hit 2 birds with one stone on my quest.
EDIT:
Got me a small squad of 3 peasants now, and I'm off to take on more targets with my designated meatshields. Lost 1 of my guys in a goblin brawl (main guy); I avenged his death, and my other 2 are pretty banged up after a bowgoblin got them a bit. Fortunately it was too distracted to see me coming to lop it's head off. Heading to my next target immediately northward with my battered crew.
EDIT EDIT:
Speaking of battered crew, they got used to the pain, and I witnessed them just shred an axeman apart. I barely have to finish the poor guy off. ...Time passes, and lo, I have lost my 3 peasants. They fought well and died hard. I have avenged them, and I return with news of their bravery and of the vengeance delivered unto their killers.
Well 4 major kills, 12 total, and 3 lost. I'm calling it a night.
