> slice
< Moving well, you slice a dark iron war axe with a gnarled oak handle at a ghoul. A ghoul fails to evade, failing miserably. The axe lands an overwhelming strike (Oooh, the next generation of ghouls are going to feel that!) that sends a geyser of black sludge from the stump of the ghoul's neck as its head is removed.
A ghoul collapses to the ground, letting out a final groan before ceasing all movement.

This sludge you speak of.. Is it edible? :-P
