>As you close in again, he finds his balance again and backs away from you. You draw closer as he brings his hands together and reorganizes your spellcards into a fairly decent deck once more in his right hand. You try to grab his right, but he seems to anticipate this and pulls away.

For the record, let's not forget that we're currently semi-jacked.

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #668 on:** September 26, 2011, 04:03:48 AM »

And Rinnosuke's half-youkai. He should be fine.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #669 on:** September 26, 2011, 04:05:26 AM »

I meant more in terms of needing to wrest his hand open or applying pressure to his arm. It's an advantage. :V

Semi jacked?

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #671 on:** September 26, 2011, 10:03:17 PM »

If I had spent the full 10 minutes on the arms we'd be jacked. Half the time, half the jackitude.

An interesting question. Because no, ideally I'd like him to just hand the cards over without any conflict.

I wonder what he would do in our situation.

Just so people know, we're about to get mind controlled, and there isn't a whole hell of a lot we'll be able to do about it unless we manage to kill him outright within the next few seconds (which, at this point, I would endorse).

Given his reference to the floor, I now have to wonder what the intended solution of this problem was supposed to be. I have to wonder if there ever even was an intended solution, really.

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #681 on:** September 27, 2011, 03:30:57 AM »

Violence is the idea at this point. Knocking him out is probably sufficient, but I agree that if needed, killing him is acceptable.

Feel free to not wait on me for anything for the forseeable future, I'm far too angry at this game right now to trust myself with rational decision-making.

Little helpful hint: For Purvis games, you need to be descriptive in combat. Especially close combat. Otherwise he's not likely to give you the results you're looking for.

I need some time to think, and I'm busy right now, but I'll enter a command before I go to bed.

Fine.
