... And then a headcrab flew through the air, shrieking. It landed neatly on the gnome's head, making a pleased noise, followed by the small but distinct sound of something piercing flesh. The Pebble flailed at the headcrab, but after a few seconds his movements became notably erratic. He staggered forward, then fell over.
"There, now - it's okay, spookie! I'm sure you did your best," Moira said, walking over to the fallen gnome; the headcrab detached itself from The Pebble's head and sprang up to land on Moira's hunched back, settling itself with its brethren. "Didn't want him to smack you too hard! Rules say you have to fight, but not that you have to get dissipated..."
The zombie offered Mitsu a hand up. "And they don't say you have to beat what you fight, so far as I'm concerned, you're a Hob now! Congratulations, spookie!!" Moira beamed.
