S17E10 · The Creature from the Pit Part 2

Adrasta and Romana lock horns over K9

The guard’s chisel delivers blunt-force impacts to K9’s circuitry alongside hammer strokes, exploiting its metallic composition to inflict cumulative damage. Its dual-purpose as both blade and striking tool intensifies the assault’s precision against vulnerable circuits, underscoring the indifference to the knowledge it guards.

Before: Sharp edge and flat hammer-end intact, fit for both cutting and percussive damage on metal. Held ready by the guard mid-strike.

After: Held at rest per Adrasta’s intervention. Its edge remains capable of further damage but momentarily unemployed due to Romana’s rapid tactical shift.
