Cuts Talkus' cord

Then, as I approached, Talkus suddenly opened his eyes and glared at me, his face twisting in anger. He lurched up onto his knees and reached out towards me, as if to seize my head and crush my skull. For such a large entity he moved very fast.

But I was faster. I drew a blade, seized the thick cord and cut through it very close to his belly. It spurted blood and the god screamed, agony contorting his features. I held onto the fleshy tube, wrapping it around my hand as tightly as possible, then returned my blade to its scabbard.
