Re: Laws of the Night OOC and Discussion
Ah, I see what you mean there. Yeah, the problem of his guard still applies there, as the closest you're going to get to actually having an arm touching his airway is going to be sticking it in his mouth. Drop your own chin to your chestan and raise your shoulders a bit, and you'll see what I mean. I could see you still getting at the arteries like that, but the only way I can see that happening in front is the old two thumbs approach.
The one I know for artery choking from behind is similar to that guillotine one, except your elbow is in line with his chin, and you squeeze sideways, not back. Your choking arm's hand rests in the crook of the other elbow, and that one's hand goes behind their head to grip your opposite shoulder.
Anywho, back on topic, I wouldn't worry about it anyway, as he's going to kick your ass anyways, he's just holding back so it looks like what he's doing is withing human limits
