Well, I mainly just wanted to render him quiet and passive so the people who've just captured him can take him to where they're going to hold him captive without him kicking up a ruckus or trying to get away.
Give the guy a crack to the head to knock him out for a few minutes, then have him hog-tied for transport. Or even just have the character be conscious but docile for the trip -- a blow to the head can take the fight out of you for a while, even if you were only down for a minute or two. Possibly even have one of the head-crackers acknowledge that it's an imprecise method of pacification, and that it's easy to accidentally kill someone by hitting them
anywhere
on the head
My trivia team came in 22 out of over 400 teams. Not too shabby. I even managed to pull a few answers for them (earning me a "Good job, Noobie!").

This is the part of the morning where I suddenly realize that I'm not on my way to class, because somehow the day has sprung forward an hour or so. And it happens nearly every weekday, too!
Mornings are hard.

I got a brief reprieve on my 9am meeting -- not til 9:30!

Yikes - be well mac. Is the nausea gone at least? Nothing worse than having nausea (and possibly needing to throw up) on top of all that other ick.
Cate Blanchett has has a 3rd son: Dashiell, Roman, and now Ignatius Martin.
I guess they can call him "Iggy."
