[Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 16 - Seas of Blood Redux

[Dogopolis]

Sounds fine to me. Armpit.

[deaddmwalking]

Half vote for biting. We need to fight dirty.

[Thaluikhain]

Try biting, we don't get to do that much.

[Beroli]

Kicking him in the armpit wins 2 to 1.5.

Summoning all your energy, you swing violently and smash the creature in the armpit with your foot. Screaming, it drops you to the ground and then clutches its wound--it takes 2 damage. Landing lightly, you run nimbly behind the stricken Cyclops.

Punch it in the kidneys?
Elbow it in the back of the knees?
Take a flying kick into the middle of its back?

[Thaluikhain]

Hmmm...elbow back of knees?

[JourneymanN00b]

Sure, I also vote to elbow it in the back of the knees. Maybe the cyclops crumples to the ground and becomes vulnerable to future attacks.

[deaddmwalking]

That's my preference. Let's hamstring him.

[Dogopolis]

knees is fine.

[Beroli]

Flailing your arm, you smash the monster in the back of the knees. It staggers forward and, losing balance, collapses to the ground on to some sharp rocks, taking 2 damage.

Kick it in the ribs?
Kick it in the groin?
Punch it in the jaw?

[deaddmwalking]

Half vote for groin.

[Dogopolis]

Groin sounds good.

[JourneymanN00b]

I vote to punch it in the jaw.

[Thaluikhain]

We don't get to kick monsters in the groin very much, so give that a go.

[Beroli]

Kicking it in the groin wins 2.5 to 1.

Taking advantage of the Cyclops' prone position, you step forward and kick it in the groin with all your might, spraining your ankle rather badly--take 2 damage. The monster does not seem to be overly distressed by your blow; it rises to its feet and then launches into a crouched attack, running to catch you in its arms.

Take a flying kick at its head?
Punch it in the eye?
Step sideways and deliver an elbow smash to the arm?

[Dogopolis]

You've got to punch it in the eye.

[Thaluikhain]

Punch in the eye.

(I'm assuming Harryhausen influences, which includes eye attacks on cyclops)

[deaddmwalking]

I like attacking the eye. I have found some people make cyclops immune to blindness but that’s bullshit.

[JourneymanN00b]

I vote to go the way of Odysseus and Polyphemus and punch it in the eye.

[Beroli]

As the Cyclops grabs you, you let fly a swift punch into its single large eye--it takes 2 damage. Screaming in pain, the monster lifts you into the air by one of your legs. Hanging upside down, will you:

Punch it in the stomach?
Butt it in the ribs?
Kick it in the elbow?

[Thaluikhain]

Hmmm...kick the elbow?

[deaddmwalking]

Stomach seems less vulnerable than groin. I think the elbow is the most likely to do damage and improve our current position. One more vote for elbow.

[Dogopolis]

I'll third elbow.

[JourneymanN00b]

I also vote to kick it in the elbow.

[Beroli]

Twisting, you deliver a sharp kick to the Cyclops' elbow, possibly inducing a hairline fracture. It screams and drops you to the ground, taking 2 damage. Getting to your feet, you face your stricken opponent.

Punch it in the shoulder?
Elbow it in the ribs?
Take a flying kick at its chest?

Flying kick at chest and then just cycle through same choices.
