Tally: 2 ogres, confirmed.

Hi peeps, Livia here. Caught two ogres hanging around at the bus station near the park. The thing about ogres and their massive arms is that you can't let them hit you or it's game over. Come to think about it, it might be why they have such bad posture. Knuckle walkers. Fortunately, I'm a ‘hit first and don't ask questions later’ type of gal. Sorry about the video quality. Can't afford a videographer right now, so I need to fight and film at the same time.

Alt-text: Me dropping from a tree onto the wide back of the largest of the two ogres. One swing with my sweet broadsword Sybil and off with its head. Before the body falls, I backflip toward the other ogre. Another swing, another head.
To be honest, it was a meager catch. In and around the city, mythics are becoming scarce. Maybe I should expand my terrain. What do y'all think?
