ackack wrote:duvessa, you seem like a reasonable person to ask: how exactly does batty work? I know from unseen horrors and bats that speed 30 won't translate into tons of melee hits (although running away from these is not a plan), but I'm assuming you could just get unlucky and have one of these throw three icicles in a 10 aut period?
