Things writ

[ksmith]

A short fight scene completed. It's hard when the opponent really knows what they're doing because, well, you really can't get away with having them drop their hands, or not fall properly, or keel over courtesy of the Jani version of the Vulcan Death Grip.

Nice spray of dirt and leaves when that planter tumbled across the floor, though.

Death grips would certainly cut down on the vast quantities of care that usually need to be taken when writing hand-to-hand fight scenes. Wouldn't matter whether Jani grabs a wrist, arm, or elbow with her left--or should it be her right--hand. Wouldn't matter how opponent falls, and what position they assume when they get to their feet--which they do all too quickly and with little if any damage sustained...dammit--and what position Jani assumes as she braces for their next attempt to knock her block off.

Death grips. At a distant. Psychic death grips. Your hero wouldn't even need to leave the house.
