Flare

The cutlass emits a long doleful wail as you swing to attack.

  THT 63, d100 roll: 88, modified: 121
  ...and hits for 15 concussion points of damage!
  Hard blow!
  An extra 25 concussion points of damage.
  It is stunned!
Round time: 5 sec.

The cutlass suddenly grows warm in your hand! You feel it tearing at your very life force as the manticore suddenly jerks into a rigid stance, eyes wide with terror! It is held there for a moment of pure agony and then crumples to the ground in a lifeless heap as you feel your own life energy draining away.
The manticore screams one last time and dies.

You are in good shape.
You have no significant bleeding.
