MitD XIX: The Potted Plant Is Starting To Look Reasonable

[Grey_Wolf_c]

Sorry if this is beating a flying horse...

Does it appear people are generally assuming Miko and Windstriker (a) soaked the punched-through-the-wall and massive falling damage 374 p9 suggests, (b) Rule of Funny (and subsequent dramatic need) bypasses damage, (c) MitD uses something other than brute force to effect the effect, or (d) some combination of the above?

We certainly already see visual indications of damage in the comic, and neither Miko nor Windstrider have any hashmarks of black or red. We do see Windstriker downing some potions in 375 (four of them), so maybe we just didn't get the ouch-marks?

I cannot speak for "people", but the OP operates under the assumption that the tower scene is intended as a clue, which means the author communicating a fact about MitD. Given that MitD establishes the rules of the game as "hitting lightly" and the result is creatures punched through a wall, I conclude that the author's intention is to communicate great strength.

Over the years, people who were proposing creatures with lacklustre strength have either attempted to claim that the tower scene was not a clue at all, or come up with alternative explanations, neither of which have ever been particularly persuasive.
