Fighting a demon ruler
« on: February 17, 2014, 09:44:52 pm »

Okay so I started a battle with a demon ruling a civ, currently he has me in a toe-lock and basically has rendered me immobile, he can't hurt me and I can't hurt him.  I'm legendary in a bunch of stuff now but everything is "glancing away" besides my sword (which I threw earlier in the battle and now can't retrieve).  Should I just give up or is there a way to get out of his wrestling move?

This is the point where I'd really like to be able to cut off one of my own limbs

Due to a feature (or bug, depending on viewpoint) its clothing is massively thick, too much for your weapons to penetrate. It is several times larger than you and will likely win wrestling skill rolls.

Perhaps you could find an uncovered/unprotected spot to attack? The fingers, toes, or nose come to mind as possibles.

I once created a race of playable trolls. Their clothing was so ridiculously large I had to restrict them to trousers and loincloths, coats if they were very lucky, otherwise they were nearly unkillable. As well as this their shields were so heavy that they were slower than a turtle/snail hybrid that was dead.

Keep pounding on him. Eventually you'll either pass out and die or become so legendary that you punch him in twain.

You should have got the blue sword first, might have penetrated better.

Well... I died, decided to give into starvation, its a shame because I was legendary in wrestling, fighting, striking, armor using, misc-object using and maybe throwing (ended up throwing water +vomit that was in a pile under me), and my attributes were quite high as well xD
