    Frigg’s second-last sentence reminds me of a certain scene toward the end of Superman II (the theatrical cut).

    Frigg, Fr’Nj was *right there*. She probably could have unlocked it with a key.

    If she’s exactly one Ka-Smite short of single-handedly winning this battle, I’mma be disappointed in her.

        A minor point, but ironwood is the only species of wood that doesn’t float.

        In Eskrima, it’s referred to as kamagong… and *not* used for sparring.

          In our world ironwood is not a species of wood, but rather a name used for different kinds of wood that has a reputation for hardness… so it’s really just “Hardwood+”.
          Most of the ironwoods probably float.
          Ebony and Roughbark Lignum-vitae are two species of wood that don’t float. Very dense.
          But none of that is relevant to guilded age ironwood, which may be anything those guys claim it to be.

    Frigg could have just broken the lock and avoided the chance of impaling Byron on some ironwood shrapnel. But Frigg Decisions > Your Decisions.

      I’m not sure it’s possible to tone down the KA-SMITE like that.

      She didn’t want to risk hitting the wall and splintering the whole tree. She doesn’t get the concept of holding back, so she’s just careful about what she totally obliterates.

    Most people would have at least given Byron a warning to back up. It is sooo Frigg not to.

      To anyone who knows her, “Shut UP” is a pretty crystal-clear warning to find a safe hidey-hole.

        Well, I say: If you can see her backswing, it’s time to run.

      It’s an act of will, and she hammers out her problems. Also multiclass in Will Smith?

      Supposedly so…but if Sc’wl has been duty the whole time, he should really change his name to Slp’lss or Insmn’iak…

    +2 highly caffenienated beverage + 2 scotches after work == what? I’m guessing an altered mind state. Should I be banned from commenting on the work of (allegedly) sober work of reputable artists? :P :-P :-O

                  …which means we’ll either get this again later this month when the 2nd full moon of August occurs, or, we’re safe for oh… let’s say ’til next month, depending on your time zone.

                  Yes, yes. I know there are also seasonal definitions for the blue moon. I read the same Wikipedia article. There are many variables to the conditions of coldelectrons’ insomnia-driven drinking binges. May a wee dram rest his weary head.

    Loving that Frigg seems to be able to use “goddamit” as her means to invoke her god! I guess in some cases blasphemy is pretty close to prayer…

      In the case of a paladin (or rather, crusader) it’s not blasphemy, as she actually wields the damning power of some kind of god. It’s simply a brief description of what’s about to happen.
