... I'm not sure what to say here.

Just apply, say 12 pounds of pressure to the neck for around a minute, that's much easier

Fun Fact: Decapitations were actually extremely rare in historic battles. :mrgreen:

Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?

In England you can shoot a Welshman with a crossbow on sundays, as long as you are in Cathedral grounds.

I suppose so haha. Just make sure that they are welsh. I think this law only applies in York.

Anyway, you will probably still go to jail for walking around with a crossbow.

Nooo! I'll just pretend I'm one of those Briton archers with a crossbow instead of a longbow from AOE II!

Actually, there is an International Strike Like a Ninja Day.

But you will never know until it's too late.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.
