In your post you mentioned that the mech [u]"stumbled away"[/u] before ramming back into the wall. No mention of the timing on that. I, however, mentioned multiple times that not only does the Magna Pater not fall for the same trick twice, but that it had been anticipating another wall wedgie. It was ready and raring to get out of the way this time, tail and all, and as I said it had less distance to cross. I wrote in my post that its tail could still be damaged, but not as badly as last time. Though its tail is in relatively poor shape, it's still packing some beastly muscle. I recall comparing it to a [u]"living bullwhip", and a "blur"[/u]. It moves a hell of a lot faster than 70 mph, even on a bad day, and something tells me Higan can't accelerate to that speed on a dime. You also mentioned that the hand had [u]"opened wide to clasp at Slimy" [b]as the rock struck[/b][/u], meaning the grab didn't occur the instant that the rock impacted. I'm not saying Slimy (going to use that nickname forever more) is insta-fast, but if the grab is threatening to snag a [u]"chunk of flesh from the head"[/u] of Slimy, then I'd say there is time for our super agile beastie to duck that and scootch along after having delivered his full-force attack.

Okay, so now all that leaves is whether or not Slimy can pass between the forearm and bicep. I have no idea what you mean about dipping over the arm foodle and ducking under the thingamabob. Here's the opening I see.

Here is what I see Slimy doing do that opening.

You said its head could fit through? So could its body, and being more slippery than a toadstool in a rain gutter sure as shit helps. If the mech somehow manages to entirely squeeze its arm shut like a vice (not an easy thing if you are made of metal and joints, as even most people probably can't do that), then I see Slimy being squeezed and popped right out of there like, like, like...

I think I just made things sexual.
