Half-naked half-elf in da house! Umm. In da dungeon!!
I’ve always played gorgons/Medusa as a creature that cannot be sneaked up on because the snakes act as extra eyes (in addition to their ability to taste the air with their tongues). But, I give it a pass this time because Charles had the cover of the stairway to leap out of. Also, half-elf stealth and probably not so strong a scent as many other creatures.
Looks like he’s got this hag …. In The Bag.
I wonder if they can juice her brain for something useful?
Charles is fully human. Granted he was raised by the woman who taught Cadugan everything he knows. As for her fate…if she IS a converted human, might be best to keep her alive for Gram to experiment on finding a way to reverse the transformation. If she’s a natural gorgon…well I’m sure there are many parts you can get from gorgons that would have tremendous value to an alchemist like Gram. Might be an idea to keep her alive so they stay ‘fresh’.
A lot of males seem to think that’s equivalent to hitting a very sensitive part of the male anatomy. I even heard a male self defense teacher claim it would incapacitate a woman, at least for a moment. Nope. Sorry. I know it’s not fair, but women’s vulnerable are a lot less vulnerable than that. (Basically, a direct shot to an ovary would do it, but you’d have to hit a spot barely above the pubic bone and you’d have to be lucky to get it.)
It really hurts to get hit directly in the center of a nipple with the tip of a fencing foil (or to be stepped on just there by a pet in the night) but hit on the boobs with a tray is unlikely to hurt worse than an equal blow with a tray on any other body part.
I don’t know how the rumor got started that it does.
I wouldn’t know personally, but I have had women tell me the exact opposite. I suppose the level of vulnerability/sensitivity varies from person to person.
As the great comedienne Betty White used to say, "I don’t know why the phrase ‘grow a set of balls’ means to get tough. That’s a very sensitive target to injury. If you want to get tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.’"
It’s possible. I know first hand that unless you hit a very tiny spot very hard with something very narrow, such that the force is all at the tiny point of impact, you may as well go for any other target. I understand that is subject to change with pregnancy, but I don’t know that first hand. There is increased sensitivity over a month, but nothing akin to the debilitating agony most men report about their vulnerables. Now, I have been told certain types of cancer also cause unusual pain in the area on women, but again, not in my experience, thank C’thier.
I think it’s more that the tray is serving as a convenient modesty panel for our poor zombie assistant. There’s a field depth effect in play here; I suspect there’s a bit of distance between tray and zombie.
Pick up your copies of YAFGC Volumes 1 - 5 at our online store. Multi-book bundles and sketch editions available.
Heh. She will never know what hit her. 🙂
I am liking Charles more and more. Now finish her off!
You know a gorgon’s head could be quite useful

Charles isn’t a half elf though. Both his folks were human. It’s his brother, that is (or rather, was) a half elf.
Musical chiming boobies!
Uh, they made shirt work of her…
I’m sorry. I see myself out.
Well, she was getting a bit too shirty with Grams!
He gave her aright and proper blousing!
Boom!! Headshirt!!
He had a great plan up his sleeves 😀
Now we know who’s gor the pants on… :-p
Karma that the poor zombie?? girl indirectly helpe to defeat here 😉 It would not work if one of the gorgon did wok as assistant.
I’m amused by the music note instead of a written onomatopoeia. It’s a fun touch!
Ah, I thought that was a ladle…
At least she went out on a high note.
SPANG!
Well she’ll be a bit crochetty after that… (groan)
That feels like that should be an instant level-up.
From the drawing it looks like he hit in a very sensitive part of the female anatomy. Ouch

No, I did NOT make that up.
I remember that one well!
HA! Yes, I remember her saying that as well.

Looks like she got hit in the face (aka head).
A nut shot isn’t incapacitating with the proper mental conditioning. It’s more the idea that makes guys freeze up on a very primitive level.

Personally, I would be aiming for the head!
Tag em and bag em!
Inventive – and funny!
t!
Huh. That zombie really is helpful.
"Traaaaaaayyyyyyyss."
The hag is definitely feeling be-trayed right now…
KABONG!
Yeah….. that really was supposed to be a hit to the face. Not the boobs.
