EnderMarryMe maimed Boktor with a satisfying grin with its gothic axe. (50 damage)

'satisfying blow' would work
'satisfied grin' would work

'satisfying grin' does not compute

I have more of an issue with the logic, weapons grin?

Afraid you lost me hun... The wielder grins... not the weapon...

Yea, i tried reading it a couple of times, but there's no way to connect the grin to the weapon.

Although you could argue the damage was dealt with the grin instead of the weapon..

Don´t trust anything until I´ve seen/read/heard it from 5 different sources.

I think it's the use of the word with twice. I feel a strong desire to use a comma to break up the sentence & clearly denote who is grinning in a satisfied way.

Better:
EnderMarryMe maimed Boktor with a satisfied grin using its gothic axe.

Even better would be:
EnderMarryMe maimed Boktor with its gothic axe whilst sporting a satisfied grin.

Better indeed. But i wasnt sure Ender constructed the sentences with fixed blocks.
[player a] [verb] [player b] with a [something] with his [weapon]

It's constructed in JavaScript, so you can read the source.

btw, we only edit the matrix at 13:37, because that's how we role.

Ah, a rare spelling mistake. :)

It will appear as "edited" in future journal events.
