I see. Well a tackle was on the list of ideas, but I've been very much paranoid of your dagger shield since you changed Scion's coat sleeve into silver. I am worried that a straight grapple with Skallagrim can lead to an even nastier situation. As for grabbing his arm. I was sort of counting on him not being able to avoid stabbing himself. The leg stab would have made a good distraction. As for the wrist cut not doing anything. I had actually anticipated this, but Scion and Dennis were not fully aware of this fact. So, they at least have a legitimate reason to scale up Skallagrim's durability again. This is actually important, because of the fact Scion and Dennis are non-lethal fighters, they are actively trying to not do life ending damage to Skallagrim. As for the foot stomp. I'm afraid the entire situation is going to end with Scion flat on his ass in the water at this point. You'll see what I mean when I get the post out. 

Also, that was a pretty good move. My response is pretty much another backpedal, and is mostly me making use of my items unusual function rather than let it get smashed. As for my counter. I was hoping to save it for later, but I need a leg up, and Skallagrim is proving to be very difficult to hurt so far.
