Actually, it's not really uncommon for NPCs/players to end up dropping too many arms from combat. I'm not sure exactly what causes it, but every now and then an arm will fall to the ground without it actually being severed from the character. Odd that you're still wearing a buckler though, with two "severed" limbs. I've never seen that before. |

Two severed limbs, but only one is an arm. ....Sort of reminds me of Twenty-Nine Fingers by the Konks. At any rate, the game isn't sophisticated enough to name each segment of limb that gets chopped off into a quivering pile of giblets. That's the issue here. It says three arms, but it actually means one arm cut into thirds. So on the first one you'll have a hand, wrist, and say half of the forearm. The second will include the other half of the forearm, the elbow, and maybe some jagged bone fragmet from the upper arm. And the last part will have the remainder of the upper arm, and shoulder. See? No great mystery. You just need a greater gore orientation in your imagination. |

Could be resolved by saying: You get part of a leg of (xxx). If it said "part of," that remains accurate to having part of your arm removed, and your arm being unusuable... Allows for multiple arm bits? |

I was hungry before I read the last two posts in this thread. Now I'm starving. |

I believe it's a completely silly and wholly unnecessary solution. You get "part of a leg of a black-haired female deep-elf" . . . . . . and you spend an even longer part of a minute skimming mindlessly past the spam. leave it alone. |
