PQ

Ok, so it got me in the end. Actually, it got me a little while ago.. I just didn't want to own up to it.

Zog Ninebrain, Robot Monk, has been happily butchering his way across PQ. He's now level 27, and a number of other characters have fallen to his sword (currently a +9 venomed vicious halberd, actually...). Apologies if you were one of them - Zog didn't stop to take names. Anyway, it's not as if you lose "dead" characters completely, is it?

Pulling punches

Metaphorically, of course. Never hitting anything quite as hard as you can, just in case you give it your all and it doesn't obligingly shatter into a thousand pieces. Or in case the fall out is a little heftier than expected. Or both.
