>>34205520Thanks!
>the fightI tried to make both sides not stupid (despite all the mind-altering issues the convoy has been suffering from) so the captain predicted the Palkyrie to try slashing him with the bardiche, and the Palkyrie’s light weight limits the strength of the blow to something he can block with the sheath (which is something used in some schools of martial arts). He’s correct, just that he didn’t expect the same light weight also makes the Palkyrie easier to vault over him and kick his ass (almost literally). At least he’s quick enough to elbow the Palkyrie from biting off a chunk of his neck and spitting poison into it
>manga panelsGlad to hear that my attempt to make the Palkyrie fighting style more dynamic since it’s meant to be pretty distinct to them due to their physique
>fireplaceHey, at least he dies feeling warm… that portion’s inspired by both terminal burrowing caused by hypothermia (the core of the convoy’s blight) and that one time in the Kalevala where a young man gets played into a swamp in a magic music duel. It’s a pretty good read and quite fitting for /vnug/ given the similar environment and how much a role music and singing plays in magic
>trophallaxisIt’s interesting since only after the man is fed the bitterbug fluid that he does what he should’ve done long ago – running and screaming. Admittedly not the best idea in winter forest alone but well
>PalkyriesI was fearing that I might’ve made them (us, really) too animalistic, what with them being the only characters in the story that never talked, but I’m glad to hear that it’s working!
