Description

Another glorious Maitz. I had to pay a lot for this one... I was still early too collecting and I saw this one on Metropolis. I submitted an inquiry and their owner called me back. He was a skilled salesman and after I (gulp) recovered from hearing the sticker price, he soon had me enraptured at the prospect of daily viewing this wonder! Time payments helped of course, and soon i was pushing back the fear in FAVOR of the glory of enjoying this gorgeous piece. I love the creatures knocked out on the deck. Don't you?

I have a soft spot for creatures - don't really appreciate the bias towards them always being stabbed, killed etc So, I came up with my own story about this scene. You see, the reason the bad-ass warrior woman is pointing at them, is to tell them to "Stay Down!". This is because these beauties can re-animate! So, I figure, they'll just probably play dead until the opportunity for quick escape arises. They shall live again to revel in glorious adventures more!

I think that's he only one alive who's begging for mercy! The bard's providing some background theme music to commemorate this moment of victory.
