@Pureblood-Sin hey bro how does your wrist blades work because I super curious.

Are they like assassin creeds wrist blades?

I'm not arguing that you can't do what you did but just interested in the actual thing itself

I suppose they work more like predator wristblades, being triggered by strong tension expressed through the hand. As long as the hand as able to tighten itself, whether it is through the balling of a fist or tightly grappling an object, it will allow the blades to come out. As for where the blades come from, think of the positioning of the blades of a Covenant energy sword; with one blade above the thumb, the other beneath the pinkie finger.

Disclaimer: I am not saying Grik is immortal, he just thinks he is. Part of being a Barabel. Lol.

I have a small complaint with your post, namely the injuries your character took. I stated in my post that my lightsaber was thrown slightly behind your character, and with Grik's push it would be a "total collision". You've written it as if Grik's push hadn't landed, which would've resulted in the graze you took.

Timing seems a little off. Are you using the force?

Am I using the force? Hmm, I suppose I am a little, just as you were when you threw your own blade.
As for the timing, my own throw happens immediately after knocking your attack away and I don't need a rewind either. Grik has to come down and finish his spin before his push, leaving plenty of time for my lightsaber to leave my hand and cover the few feet between us.

Ummm. Okay. I'll edit my post later tonight.

We're not standing around. Very little time passes through each post. You won't gain a lot of strength in the middle of a battle fighting a seven foot Barabel, likely charging you after you smack the durasteel stand, giving you little time to taunt him, OR give you a chance to regain any strength. Not a lot of time passes in these posts, and I find it hard to believe he'd notice the lightsaber after a hard wave of the Force crashes into the whole of his body. That force strike in and of itself, with or without the wall behind you would hurt you bad.

As stated earlier in this thread, Grik's Force specialty is Telekinetics. He's putting all of his rage and pain into this strike and unloading it hard into you. Saying that your waistguard took the hit is highly inaccurate.

Also, what's with the auto-hit on Narsi's saber? That's like any other attack, dude, just stating you destroyed it won't fly.

Okay. If you want to press the attack you can, but if you continue to sit there my character would be regaining strength. This seems like a huge nitpick as you can interrupt my post. I also find it hard to believe you can can let off a force shove after being stunned, hit with lightning, and having a limb torn off but let it pass in the interest of continuing the thread. Plus, Henry is right in front of him, he'd be able to see the saber coming being a 3 foot long "green blur".

Give me an accurate description of how much time passes in one post. I'd really like to know. Because if you know anything about melee combat, it takes a split second to register or not register an attack. We're not playing Final Fantasy, where there's a portion of time that everyone stops moving, it's building right off of each other's posts in the instant after it takes place. You're in a melee with Narsi and I, and Ben and Pureblood have their own fight going on.

The only place I could conceivably see you completely regain strength after wasting your energy on that lightning is in an entrenched long-range engagement.

I don't see why the force shove would've been a problem. He clearly stated that he funneled his anger/rage at the injuries into the attack. A common occurrence with the force I believe, and it would be even more common with a angry Sith lizard.

As for the positioning, I believe Henry would be off to the side some, at least worthy of a little head turning to watch him closely. Anyways, I think what Gian is getting at is the sheer ease of your actions in your post. Your getting SMACKED into my lightsaber, as thats whats making it hit you head on, Griks force shove.

Instead of a close shave, or even a little desperation, you just perfectly knock it away without even a scratch. A blade coming at you from the side/behind that your knocked into in midair and you perfectly block it. Doesn't that seem just a little too easy to you? Not to mention that you just used said arm to slash at Griks tail.

Anyways, my concern is more for the impact with the Durasteel. Your hitting it hard, and your, once again, writing it off as nothing. That's a metal object bolted to the floor, and your smacking into it.

@Pureblood-Sin going to have to say your character wouldn't really be able to go down on his knees but that's not a big thing, but just know your characters arm will really be slower.

That's why he's using Brand's nicked lightsaber in his unaffected arm...plus the lulz of using your foe's weapon against him.

See the problem lies in the fact that Gian didn't explicitly state how strong his attack was. I awarded you a bruised lower back and in the post he is stuck on the ground unable to move his lower body. As for Henry it was stated in my post that both of you are in front of Mikkel, not to the right. You can't magically place yourself to the immediate right of my character to put himself in an advantageous position. I can also say that you easily deflected a six foot long lightsaber while only being five feet away, while shooting a shotgun, but I let that go as well. Can we stop with the incessant nitpicking?

You nitpicked at me for six pages worth of OOC over a stun bolt. Let me remind you of that. You still didn't answer my question.

For the both of you, going on about 'he's nitpicking' and 'you're incessent' is really the type of passive aggressiveness we want to avoid.

Swag, I'm biased, but I'm inclined to agree with Gian and Narsi. If they're saying in their posts that their attack is fueled by anger then it's going to be pretty powerful, some minor bruising at this point in the thread is not at all helpful. I'd suggest just taking a major wound then running.

Since the time limit ends tomorrow how about we just call it a draw, neither sides win.

@Swag would get a serious wound but survive.
@Narsi will most likely need a band-aid for that foot injury if i remember your post correct.
@Gian Greydragon your tail will make a good stew for the survives of this battle, but no other real injury.
@Pureblood-Sin well your guy is literally just barely not going unconscious as one more stun would be all that is needed. But no serious injury.
@Me being the all powerful and beautiful me, my guy has to pull out Swag so his guy lives and makes sure everyone leaves without anyone dying.

Does that sound good for everyone or no?
