Nice to see that neither George nor Andrew are panicking just yet.

any living opponent would be quite close to death after such a CRACK to the head methinks. Absolutely. Disregarding the fact that Parley is fighting a ghost, there is nothing non-lethal about a pommel to the head. That blow could very well lead to a fractured skull. |

MY GIRL
I made a Norn Guardian version of Parley in Guild Wars 2 and really need to level her up. She's so coooool!

Cue Jeanne speculating why she didn't pull that move earlier, and realising they're trying to hold her up.
Also, I am semi-concerned that they're gonna release Elfguy and reunite him with Jeanne... and then Jeanne's spent too long as a psycho rage-ghost to actually turn back, and she straight-up murders him.

Disregarding the fact that Parley is fighting a ghost, there is nothing non-lethal about a pommel to the head. That blow could very well lead to a fractured skull. Exactly. There's no non-lethal way to handle a sword. The pommel is designed for attack just as much as the blade; it's heavy enough to counterbalance the blade and usually ridged or angular to maximise the impact -- Parley's pommel has a small knob to that effect. But yeah, not like any part of a normal sword can do Jeanne any harm. I wonder if they're avoiding the use of Coyote's Tooth because they want to spare Jeanne's unlife, if at all possible... |

Apart from the fact that he is already dead; he is the reason she is there, her ghost is bound to his. |

It looks like Parley has been taking notes on Son Goku.
Instant Transmission!

The transition between the last 2 panels is dead confusing. I have no idea how Parley went from that big backswing to the pommel strike we see in the last panel let alone why she took that backswing. It feels like Tom changed his mind on the stroke delivered in the final panel only after drawing the penultimate panel. I dunno. She could totally have her hand on the blade behind Jeanne's head, and have swung both arms and the sword around in an arc. I think that's exactly what's happening. Look at panel 2: Parley is gripping the hilt with both hands, with her right hand closer to the guard. Now look at panel 4: Parley's left hand is almost up against the guard, and her right hand is nowhere to be seen. She's clearly changed her grip. I think in panel 4 she already has her right hand gripping the blade (probably hidden behind Jeanne's head from our point of view) so she can bring the pommel around as quickly as possible. |

End her rightly!  I highly doubt Jeanne is going to give her enough time to unscrew that pommel... I _KNEW_ there would be some comment like that |

Considering this quote from the half-sword link can we even say Parley is just going for a non-lethal strike? Had she tried to swing that huge sword around to cut with the blade, Jeanne probably would have noticed and dodged it easily. Also, any living opponent would be quite close to death after such a CRACK to the head methinks. Also, there's a possibility that knock down, imaginary or not, may buy more time than "I am ran through now? Oh well, it doesn't really do much". So this is up to what happens if Jeanne takes hits now. Select comments:

I like how Parley's silhouette is still there after she's bipped. pizza

One solid hit..! Now, will our test ghost for the day realize that this was a 'friendly' hit? :]

Remember, if you stand on both sides of the target, flanking rules apply.

I do wonder why Parley went for a non-lethal move, though. She had the element of surprise with her teleportation reveal. So her purpose is purely to distract her while Annie/Kat do their thing. Interesting. Well, they are trying to save Jeanne, not destroy her. Otherwise they should have just ether-nuked the whole place and be done with it, haha. True, but.... well... What actually happens if Parley goes for a lethal move, Jeanne being a ghost and all? My thoughts as well! Parley isn't using the Tooth or anything. Considering she just made contact with the back of her head, either Jeanne isn't QUITE a ghost (or at least how we think of them/Mort is), or Parley is using some new abilities. |

Wait, no one called it "UnsichtMordhau"? Considering she just made contact with the back of her head, either Jeanne isn't QUITE a ghost (or at least how we think of them/Mort is), or Parley is using some new abilities. If she can touch someone, someone can touch her. But how much this can change... |
