I had decided to kill a local bandit lord a few tiles away from a town I happened to be staying in. I had just started this character, Lupara Feralsteel (most metal randomly generated last name ever) very recently, and had just gotten done killing swathes of alligators while swimming upstream the length of the local river.
I had no companions to speak of as there were no forts nearby, so I decided to recruit some random peasants as meatshields to make the fight a little easier, as I had just started out. I picked a mechanic and a peasant, and off we went.
The second I got there I emerged from tree cover only to find to my dismay that I was ambushed on all sides by three guys, much like the fabled Dan Quinn was at Juanita's Bar 10 years ago. Needless to say retreat was for cowards, and I did not consider it, but I knew I had to do some crowd control. I grabbed one lackey's necks with my left lower arm, the other one's neck with my right lower arm, choked them both out simultaneously, and then, keeping my grasp on them and having my hands full, I proceeded to kick their leader in the head repeatedly, as if I were doing an Irish jig, until I shattered his skull and killed him. Then, after he was dead and I was alone, I decided to get some exercise in and spent the next 10 full minutes alternating between strangling the enemy in my left and right hands as if I were doing bicep curls, while my peasant and mechanic companions, who were not as luckly in their fight with the remaining bad guy, shambled around bleeding and vomiting profusely in severe pain a few tiles away.
By the end of it I had ascended to Talented in wrestling, previously Dabbling when I started. I actually managed to time it by alternating between my left and right hand so that they both suffocated to death on exactly the same turn.
