Discarding the civilised constructs of chivalry and fairness, a practitioner of skirmishing uses both the environment and all tools at his disposal to eliminate all opposition. The true masters of the art are rumoured to be able to send their prey into a comatose state, or even destroy their enemies so completely that the remains can never be found.
