Death of the Month

Joejitzu, Joejitzu, you don't know what... hit-ju. Ok, needs some work.

This issue's DOTM is wholely dedicated to that self-motivated suicide machine, Joejitzu. Such dedication to the cause of personal immolation should be lauded, congratulated, and most of all, laughed at. Hooray for Joe! First off we see him swig down a couple of vials, leading to an eight stamina creature summon, and a rather unpleasant end. Then we move swiftly onwards to the shameful humiliation of death at the hands of a hero. Better luck next time Joe!

were...

a "Wee, sleekit, cow'rin', tim'rous beastie", which is rather appropriate
for the particular function you thought to perform].

You feel your very soul stopping...
