      No, no. That’s clearly a vorpal weapon, not a mere hammer.

    She may be unstoppable, but she’s clearly not unloppable.

      While her elbows are up like that (getting her head on straight) is a perfect opportunity for a “disarm” (actually, a double disarm…)! Then you throw both arms into the hole Rusty dropped into.

        Unfortunately I don’t think she will cotton on to that possibility… and so, 5 hours and 139 decapitations later they both decide to sit down and take a break. B*&^H Fighting for that long takes a lot out of you; this might involve coffee and donuts (because tea and crumpets would be too cliche).

          Also, where else would you find a hipster vampire but in a coffee shop?

      Actually, she *did* stop lopping: that last one was a *spang*. Big difference.

          Could be an innately known spell on whatever obscure prestige class Erza took that we’ve never heard off. Or maybe her clothes were not capable of self-repair, so she reversed this ability.

      “Vote incentives” work. This comic jumped into the top 100 on a day when one of the girls appeared topless in half of the panels.

        My plan was to do an incentive wallpaper at least every couple weeks. Between longer work hours and the hurricane, it hasn’t worked out that way. I appreciate the support everyone has shown and I hope to get back to creating the incentives as soon as possible.

      You can vote once a day. I make sure that I do.

        You can vote once per day per computer, if that’s feasible.

        I vote from home and work.

    I’d love to see her expression each time her head was lopped/spranged (sprung?) also biffboff was right the first time, it’s smitten

    Depends – smote is also acceptable.

    Once they have been smitten they stay smote. She was smitten by the smite. Madelyn has smited the silly vampire.

    Big J smote the enemies of J. Rus Alem.

    Ah, transitive verbs. All of the above are permitted….

    “Hey, I don’t have to *kill* you to get the XP; I just have to *defeat* you.” ^_^

    I had been going to comment last week how an entity that ‘cannot be killed’ would not NECESSARILY also be immune to the pain from injuries dealt that they will simply regenerate from, and causing a lot of pain to someone can often disrupt their ability to plan and reason.

    …but this works, too. 😀

    Now, just kick it down the stairs or something. That ought to keep her distracted for a while…

      Over the edge, that’s even farther than the stair bottom.

    If this vamp has such sure hands, why haven’t the Detroit Lions sent up a talent scout?

      Because they’re the Detroit Lions…you think so many losing seasons occur simply by accident?

    I thought decapitation was supposed to be one of the ways you *could* kill a vampire?

      I think you’re also supposed to fill the vampire’s mouth with sacramental bread or something.

        If Holy Waffles make an appearance, I’m petitioning Waffle House to add them to the menu.

        Or visiting Kickstarter for a project of my own… Crowdfunded Cleric Canapes coming right up!

            I know exactly what the book says. 🙂

            But Holy Waffles? That’s transcended pastry on higher plane of existence. What cleric or paladin worth his tithe wouldn’t drizzle maple syrup on and jam a handful of those in a vampire’s laughing gear? (Just leave enough for breakfast as well, coz it sure beats cold Pizza Gorgon and a half-pint of flat, watery ale.)

    Duct-taping a headless body to some fixed part of the architecture should do the trick 🙂
    as seen some time ago…
    And maybe we could get some advice from the two doors ?

    wait a moment, back up!

    what does this artfact do again? change the basic nature of monsters? and she says, “not in my nature.” so is that there plot? use the artifact to remove all weakness from there nature and become invicble?

      Perhaps it’s not in her new nature — she’s already been changed.

    I mentally corrected it to “smitten”– then laughed at my own unintentional pun.
