Talk:Globby
Add topicDeath by being kicked...?
[edit]Does anyone else besides me find it implausible that Globby died of being KICKED in the throat?? If he was STABBED in the throat, sure, but kicked....? I really don't see how that alone could've caused his death. Does anyone have any theories as to how this is possible?
If you read the details in the book, Brother Tollum was mid-swing coming through the window; as he would have to be at the downturn, and therefore fastest point, of his swing, anything he hit would have been hit pretty hard. When you take into accout the fact that Globby stabbed him, and that Jacques says Brother Tollum's body naturally went rock-rigid as bodies do in severe shocking pain, you have the explanation of the thing. Tollum's feet were still sticking out because he was swinging; when he made contact with Globby's chest and throat, the momentum could very well have crushed Globby's collarbone and windpipe, therefore making him unable to draw breath properly and causing severe internal bleeding. It is quite plausible when one reads the circumstances; it would have been the same if Globby had been lying on his back and a rock had fallen from the ceiling onto his throat; the force of impact is what killed him.

Thanks for the explanation, Scotty, but I feel like a total fool now for not knowing X_X

It's all right; I had to read through it a couple times before I figured it out, myself.
God Bless,
