I know we've all seen these crits before, but, I love the way these axes hit. With only 38 ranks of HT, too.

< You throw a blued-steel hurling axe with a deeply serrated edge at a kelpie. A kelpie fails to dodge, taking the full blow. The axe lands an overwhelming strike (Oooh, the next generation of kelpies are going to feel that!) that partially splits the sternum, snapping some ribs surrounding the heart.

The hurling axe lodges itself shallowly into the kelpie!
A kelpie collapses to the ground and grows deathly still.
[You're solidly balanced]
[Roundtime 6 sec.]

< You throw a blued-steel hurling axe with a deeply serrated edge at a kelpie. A kelpie attempts to evade, moving directly into the blow. The axe lands an apocalyptic strike (So that's what it felt like when Grazhir shattered!) that collapses the ribcage and bursts the diaphragm in a messy splattering of bloody pink froth.

The hurling axe lodges itself firmly into the kelpie!
A kelpie collapses to the ground and grows deathly still.
