@Phoenix@Arclight
I have a doctor's appointment and I am going to visit my sister in the hospital, I can reply tonight. I apologize for all this but it's been a hectic and long week already.
There will be no further extensions in this thread. There has already been way too many.
Also, as this is a factional event, rulings will now defer to me (though I will consult the PvP admins where I need), so please consult me and try not to bog down the other RP admins. Thank you.
@Apollyon, let me try to get the timing down on this one:
DeWitt charged Ruin somewhat on the latter's left side, then the following actions happen.
DeWitt's actions:
1. Quick-fire blaster pistol just before his lightsaber would be in range
2. slashing at Ruin's left shoulder the moment Ruin would defend against the blaster bolts.
Ruin's actions:
1. Defend against the blaster bolts with left lightsaber
2. returned the right lightsaber to a 'hammer-grip'
3. Cut off DeWitt's saber arm with right lightsaber
4. Allow armor to soak in blaster fire
5. swing left lightsaber to end DeWitt
Ruin and DeWitt both are wearing medium function-less armor, although I think Reboubt-series armor under the new rules would actually be heavy (due to level of coverage), which has a limit of two blaster shots.
IMHO Ruin's third action would not be in time to prevent DeWitt's second. If it were to succeed he'd have to angle his body to the left, making it more difficult to deflect the blaster bolt barrage (as he'd be in risk of cutting off his own arm) and his armor would subsequently fail around the time DeWitt would lose his right arm. To me, the logical conclusion of your post would be that both our characters die.
