Still, Bigby wasn't entirely prepared for a hit that hard, and although it doesn't cost him his life - the upside of being a Fable, and a very well known one at that - the force does manage to send him flying back into the wall a few steps behind him. The building groans and squeaks, and the few glasses Bigby has make a ringing sound from the cupboard they're stored in.
