[@Tristwich]
If the rainy setting makes any sort of vital impact on Kull's performance, it'll affect Selandra too. That being said, I wouldn't screw with Mike Tyson in a boxing ring, OR during a rainstorm. For posterity, I want to make it clear one last time that Kull stepping forwards and his adjusting of his grip on his axe is simultaneous, not a step and then a grip swap. He changed his grip as quickly as he took a step forward, and the step intentionally coincided with the trident thrust. The time frame between her thrusting her trident and reaching Kull for a bear hug is when the axe is being swung.

You can apply your summed up counter argument once more for comparison beside my above little statement. Are you fine with [@Ridaku] judging? Would you like any references?
