<{0(0%) 0% 0%} civilized outdoor (1 PM) 11346tnl> You keep a yellow-bearded lancehead at bay with your polearm. A yellow-bearded lancehead's poisonous bite scratches you. A yellow-bearded lancehead parries your pierce. A yellow-bearded lancehead parries your pierce. A yellow-bearded lancehead is in perfect health. A few rounds of this, alot of rounds of this infact Can't really wrap my mind around how even a 12 foot snake would parry something.
