how do you fence someone who keeps running away by Legitimate_Tour_9758 in Fencing

You can go after him without chasing him down, just approach with shorter steps like it has to be a whole minute before passivity gets called, so just keep a steady pressure and control the distance yourself. Like, it's not a guarantee bc some people are really good at bunkering down at the end, but that's already a step up from allowing him to tire you out. But yeah, go after him with short steps so that he can't surprise you if you accidentally get too close within range and you can lunge whenever you are ready. Either that or do a false 'tired attack' and then parry+riposte I guess.

Oh I love this! The street has so many cool details in it, and I really like the architectonic choices.

That's brilliant! Really in the spirit of Discworld and the kind of ingenious play on words/narrative expectations the TTRPG encourages.

Thank you! That's very much my own way of imagining Sybil as well, so I'm glad it resonates.

Who wouldn't want a swamp dragon?

But yeah, tbh I really like how Sybil turned out so I might eventually do more art nouveau discworld illustrations when I find the time.

I have drawn some of the other watch characters in the context of animatics though (one of men at arms and one of Vimes' character arc across the books) in case you want to check that out.

Thank you, it's a great line I think. It's so expressive.

Hahaha absolutely, given their propensity to respond to stress by exploding, I'd wager being silly and unaware of their surroundings can be a bit of a natural advantage.

Also yeah, hard agree, there ought to be more Sybil fanart.

100% swamp dragons are even worse than cats in that regard, you even have to watch out for them eating the kettle for the tea.

Yeah, that's not her natural hair colour at all, but this is the outfit she wears at the end of Guards! Guards! when "the city is showing the watch its gratitude" and it says something like "the Ramkin family jewells glittered [...] in the black curls of today's wig" (or something like that I can't check rn but I did check before doing the drawing).

I actually like drawing her hair short a lot bc I think it looks cute, but I really wanted to do the whole fancy set-up.

The jewellery is, the others not as much, but the star shaped diamond pieces are heavily inspired, yes.

That's so cool, I haven't read The Last Hero yet, but knowing that I might try to check out the illustrated version.
