*CHOP*, goodbye leg!

    by: Airship-King Author IconMail Icon
With a great deal of effort, you're able to use your right foot's grip on the sword to chop through your left leg, severing it right at the hip! As it rolls to the side, limp, you sway a little, struggling to regain your balance. What were you doing again? It feels a little hazy in your head, before you remember.

You worm your limbless body around the floor, being careful not to disturb the longsword for fear that you'll have to go through all the work of balancing it again. That wasn't easy with no limbs! Of course, you're used to doing stuff without arms or legs, but you'd still rather avoid if you can. Once you're lined up...
