Skulls seem easily crushed, as if the bone has been thinned out or weakened by the disease. If that were so then maybe MPZ's body armour wouldn't provide the creature with as much protection as I imagine?Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-76918594882528646742016-10-03T20:51:53.150+01:002016-10-03T20:51:53.150+01:00Perhaps if Postie swung the timber as a club (with...Perhaps if Postie swung the timber as a club (with 2 hands) then it might achieve something.
