Annotated 30-24
Remember when it looked like the biggest source of conflict between Frigg and Byron was going to be that he loved puns and she hated them? I’m not sure I’d even dignify “stand your ground?” with the name “pun,” because the phrase isn’t really twisted out of its usual meaning. And it’s also… kiiiiinda dickish, under the circumstances? “Get it? Because the ground is full of lava, and also you can’t stand up!”
Then again, Frigg would be snappish about her infirmity no matter how he put it, so maybe he’s better off teasing her the way she’d certainly tease him if their roles were reversed.
Magda’s not afraid to inform her commander she thinks things are going off the rails. That self-assertion in the face of authority will serve her well later.
I guess Hammerhead’s healing, while not quite troll-level, is still a lot faster than yours, mine, and most species unaided by healing spells or potions. Or maybe he grabbed a potion or four on his way back in.
Maybe he ate a couple people who’d just taken healing potions.

You ain’t got time to be bleeding when you’re this hecking ANGRY.
“HUUUAAGGHH!!!” is landsharkese for “OH YEAH!!!”
I kinda found the situation a bit … unfair. Two of Magda’s hits take one peacemaker out of the fight, each. Frigg landed a couple of glowy hammer hits to the face, but nobody seems to be affected much, except Penk’s drum (Auraugu caught his breath and busted through boarded-up windows like nothing ever happened). That’s the same hammer that used to destroy tanks with one hit. And Byron and Scipio were DPS-ing the heck out of Hammerhead for some time, yet a single hit disabled Scipio, and Hammerhead is already back in the fight.
So, if the Champions had some kind of constant healing spell active for the duration of the battle, or something like that … that would explain much of this away, but otherwise it seems like the Peacemakers are losing 0:3, despite Penk being a noob and his team just having their first fight together.
…I mean, I know it’ll all be fine in the end, but … it does feel like the narrator is cheating here.
