[Darth Nyne]

Storm, if I could get a description of the palace as a whole, I'd like to try and work Arri out of the situation, but I need to know what I'm working with to see if I can, or if I'll simply accept his death.

[Phil]

I am pretty sure that Storm posted a description of the area you three are in in his posts.

[Darth Nyne]

I'm looking for more info about the actual palace, not just to windowless room and the hallway outside, like floors and the such, would it be like Jabba's palace, or is it in a apartment complex on Coruscant, that kind of thing, I just don't wanna make assumptions and create the area myself

[Phil]

From what I see, the room is locked down. Arri is trapped and currently under fire. You would have to actualy get out of that room first, considering you do not get killed, which seems likely to happen.

[Darth Nyne]

basically what I'm looking to do is, he has a translator droid module on his hip, I want to use the self destruct feature to blow a hole in the ceiling and get him out of the room without using the corridor

[Phil]

You are being fired upon. Do you really think you would have time to do that and then escape through the ceiling if it even exposed a hole?

[Darth Nyne]

well one would assume, if your throwing what is basically a bomb your gonna hit the ground, which would cause current high leveled shots to miss, that mixed with a Wookees increased vitality over that of a human, and the adrenaline flowing from being in the midst of a battle, I'd say it's unlikely but possible that he could, injured, survive such a maneuver, and as I mentioned to Storm in PM, I'd be willing to allow the ensuing chase to leave him enslaved for a period of time, but I'd simply prefer not to lose the character at this point

[Phil]

That was a no-no, Nyne. Grabbing him by the throat like that without letting me get a response...

[Jiang]

I'll be editing/deleting my response post after the 'human shield' affair is settled, then. Anything in particular you'd like me to do this time around, Mulluns?

Also, Nyne, there are two squads of hutt guards in the corridor outside the room, not to mention powerful blaster turrets. Arri would be gunned down before he even hit the floor because it would take time to cut a hole in the vent, and such an act would be noticeable from the corridor, so the group below would've had plenty of time to prepare... Or just riddle the vent with blaster and slugthrower fire.

[Phil]

None I can think of, as I am having an RP admin come here.

I decided to let the bomb go with Arri going into the vents, as unlikely as that could have happened with a wookiee. But as you said Hakim, and now that I think of it, his torch thing would be quite noticable and I doubt he had even enough time to make it with toxic fumes pouring in.

[Jiang]

Even if we went with it and let Arri get out of the vent and somehow manage to take someone as a human shield, it wouldn't work. He's gonna be taller than everyone else in the Corridor; his head and shoulders would be exposed, and so it wouldn't be very hard to pop a shot off and turn Arri's brains into moosh with a well-placed bullet. Well, scrambled moosh, if they're hit with a blaster bolt. :p

[SIN]

There is no Palace.

You can't suddenly mention a palace once that becomes convenient for you. If you're planning on killing somebody, then you better put as much detail as possible in the original post. Otherwise, people start coming up with random stuff and the whole thing degenerates into a mess. Now, like I've said, Storm referred to the place as "an average meeting room." As such, this whole RP took place in an "average meeting room." A meeting room in a hutt palace in Nal Hutta, with 20 guards, durasteel doors, toxic poison shit is not an "average room." These are the type of things you have to mention beforehand.

[Darth Nyne]

My only ordeal is that I wasn't given much choice in this, I specifically asked that the character be allowed to live, I've had him in two RPs not counting this one, I was even willing to allow him to be enslaved, and at every corner there's death being spelled out, you argue the grabbing the throat, but you sealing the vent system, didn't give me much of a way to respond either, and then when I find one you argue it.

[Doomsday]

Death comes to everyone. If you didn't, prior to entering the Roleplay, agree that your character would not be killed, it can happen.

That being said, I haven't read through this, and it seems SIN is taking care of it, but just keep in mind what I said.

I understand that, but as much random stuff as I'm putting together is being thrown at me, and the fact that the wook is a weapons tech for an armor and weapon design company it shouldn't be too far fetched that he could put together a torch from a blaster canon and a power pack in a relatively quick time.

[Storm]

Nyne, you're trapped.

There's no need for further description.

EDIT: And I stated it was in the Hutt palace...

[Darth Nyne]

The palace part I'll agree with, the fact that when I went through a ceiling and into a room, I was in turn told I was in a Ventilation system, and in moving through that, I was being trapped by droids in that vent, and when that was solved I was hit with barriers and deadly gas (not just knockout brand), and when I find my way out of that, I can't grab a guy without giving him the choice to make his way out. I believe the escape from the vents should stand, it was well thought out, it's within the capabilities of the character to create the torch, and just because you see a light in the ceiling doesn't mean your gonna immediately shoot it, the guards may be commanded to do so, but the turrets aren't going to be auto trained for that. I honestly need a good reason why he's not in the corridor with his hostage, and we're not moving forward from there.

[Storm]

Well, I can't speak for Mulluns; I haven't read what he even did in the thread, to be honest.

I don't see, however, how someone could have got out of that room in the first place. If Mulluns said there was a ventilation system, fair enough, but I also fail to see how someone could escape out of the Hutt Palace alone.

[Darth Nyne]

the translator droids self destruct was used as a bomb to put a whole in the ceiling, when he went up to the next level and stood up looking around, Mulluns said it was a ventilation system not a room, and I played ball, moved through the system and was attacked by a droid, that I made the attempt to use to put a hole out of the Vents, which was stopped by him stating that the droids were meant to minimize damage so they didn't not have a standard self destruct. The vents were sealed off by security protocol. The wook realized the next step would be to poison the air, so he scavenged the blaster core and power pack from the droid for a makeshift cutting laser, that he used to drop out of the vents and into the corridor behind Unassa whom he logically grabbed up to try and get his way out. None of which seems too horibly far fetched, the droid is an armaments researcher it would seem that a small laser torch wouldn't be out of the range of things he could cobble together


P.S. I'm not trying to be a pain, I just want everything to run fairly if random stuff is gonna come at me, I'm going to try and find a way to work with it as long as it's within the characters line of reason, he's a wook survival is his first instinct, for lack of a better word he's a mechanic he builds things.

[Storm]

I see you have AIM; perhaps we should discuss it there?

[SIN]

Like I've said, there is Hutt palace. You mentioned it too late in the RP, when you suddenly decided you were going to kill him.
