Deed
A task from the teacher. Bring down a named mammoth of a Great Hunt with the killing blow from your hands: Grima wants to see a mountain fall to someone else.

What it does

The one seize that takes a large body: any L beast (mammoth, yeti, bison, treant, a great bear) or any S/M foe, within 1.4 tiles; never a dragon or its part, a wyrm, a Deep boss, or a rider or mount. Seize (0.12 s), then a 0.8 s heave with your feet set: untouchable from the front, but a hit from behind breaks it and the Fury is lost. Then the body goes over your head toward the cursor: L 4 tiles, M 7, S 9, a 0.6 s arc 20 px high. It lands for 9.0 x roll and its full poise (staggered at once; L staggered 1.0 s, then down 2.0 s), and every foe within 2.5 tiles of the landing takes 3.4 x roll and 25 poise and is knocked down (S 1.0 s, M 0.6 s); a wall in the path ends the flight early with a Hard Ground impact at 2.0 x roll. Shake 4. After it you are Spent 6 s (Berserk's own after-state, R14: -25 % move, no sprint; never the `spent` status, which blocks healing). Needs 3 stamina Stars (160). A zone-30 mammoth (448 health) takes about half its health from one throw.
