A Blow for Justice OOC

[Narsi]

Soooooo
Here's an ooc thread, in case we need it, which we do
IC thread

@Zaphod Norblebrox
So I'm afraid you need to delete your post this time around, as you timed out last night.
@Chance Mills
Just a quick question,
Your basically throwing/force pushing the spear towards gren as she pulls it correct?
Second, How exactly does your character KNOW that his spear is going to get pulled? He could feel it when it happens, but not know before hand. It's not a huge deal in this instance but know for the future that you should avoid such wording as it would be precog.

When u wanna play with the big boys but get picked last for the dodgeball game so you cri

 

[Melania]

Yes, have to agree with Narsi need to be careful how you word things. one wrong wording could be a bad thing as some people may call it on you.

 

[Hol Horse]

@Melania I'm pretty sure you posted a reply and then deleted it. I saw it in my notification and then checked 20 mins later to see nothing there. No proof since I didn't capture it with my comp, but I'm fairly certain thats breaking pvp rules...

edit: nevermind I actually have a rock with glued-on eyes instead of a brain, that's totally fine. My bad lol.

 

[Aurius]

@Hol Horse One small thing I noticed, although it's the devil in the details. When yiu shot your triblasts at Cecil you mentioned he had yet to activate his saber. The post beforehand I clarified that his golden lightsaber was activated.

Just so there's no confusion :P

Oops, that was bad reading on my part. Edited it now to account for that.

Busy day at work for me so replies came late xD

Reply deleted however :)

 

[Melania]

You can post now.

He felt the pole being pulled and assumed Gren would try to get it away from him in the easiest way, which is towards gren

Hi friends.

So @Aurius Pheonix, Im a little concerned about your post. The dustcloud Im okay with, actually it's quite clever, Im just a tad iffy with your justification of negating all the Trishot bolts.

The Trishot blaster operates almost identically to a shotgun in that all the bolts are fired at once and expand outwars away from the pistol's muzzle as they travel. Even with mastery of Soresu, since all the bolts are traveling at the same speed as well as are in their optimum range to all hit, it seems impossible dor you to block all three bolts in the volley. I can understand 1, even 2 if you angled the blade to hit two, but all 3 doesnt seem plausible to me.

If you could explain or elaborate how Cecil could block all 3 bolts at once then that'd be great, but as it is now it seems physically impossible for him to do so.

Cheers :)

The dust storm can also affect Gren's ability to see the spike coming at them, as well as the blaster fire

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Cecil is a fair distance from Gren and Mel as of this post, plus its currently drifting towards the base. Though, it would no doubt onscure his own vision as a result...

Still have a problem with those blaster deflections though.

I will clarify two little tidbits.
One, a shotgun spread is traditionally around 6-9 pellets. Secondly, a triblast that travels at the same trajectory in a pattern can simply be blocked with a sweeping motion. Plus, not only did Cecil have time to react to a blaster being drawn, the gate falling, AND actually waiting for the bolts to fly, it is more than plausible to assume that using a sweeping motion, tight and accurate from one side to another, could block three bolts. Because they have a general grouping, a wider sweeping motion could be used. If you want me to edit and add some form of Force Manipulation when it concerns the speed at which he blocked both sets, I can do so. I can also change it to a dodge, if you wish.

Visual:

(Oh yeah. I did it.) I know the grouping is tighter than depicted, I believe, but the end result is the same. A single sweeping motion.

Secondly, the dust storm wouldn't cover Gren yet. It begain before you drew your blaster, however, and is by no means a small cloud. The blast was aimed at the ground itself, no specific point. That's basically the world's biggest smoke bomb. It wouldn't reach Gren and Mei.

(His telekinesis is well developed, and I've decided to forgo using Illusions in PvP because they are so hard to get right without someone feeling cheated. As illusion is an absolutely huge part of Cecil's combat ability in PvE, I'm being generous with my telekinesis. If you feel like he's being a little too Force happy though, I'm happy to talk through it.)

@Chance Mills, please remove your post. It is out of order. It is Norbs turn to post after @Hol Horse.

 

[Nor'baal]

I'll have my post up in the morning.

So....20 hours from now.

#CuttingItClose

 

[Chance Mills]

I thought that Norbs has left the post. I apologize

 

[Hol Horse]

Its been 48 hours since @Aurius Pheonix was up to post, seeing as how he's timed out, the discblade will autohit and embed itself into his neck. While likely not enough to flat out cleave it off, it would be deadly enough to kill him by hitting his spine.

@Hol Horse As I am wearing armor that can withstand thay blow, I'm afraid you'll have to rescind that logic. The modular Mando Armor can withstand a direct strike from a lightsaber in the neck/helmet area, as well as 2 strikes from a vibroblade. You may have very well rent the armor and caused blunt force trauma, however such a blow would not be fatal. Unless of course the disc blade is more powerful than a lightsaber.

As for the post, I'm sorry. My father has run into a host of medical issues recently and I've been helping out. I'll try and be more punctual on the posts. I suppose it's too late request additional posting time.

First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your father, I hope he gets better and if something like that is taking you away from the site all you need to do is just ask a mod for an extension and things would be fine. :)

However, I'm afraid I'm skeptical about that claim of the discblade not killing Cecil. Nowhere in the Mandolorian technology list does it say that the modular armor has any armor in the neck area. I'm curious if you could provide me a link to see the equipment your using since at the moment from your profile it doesn't seem to be any different from the official modular armor in use in the main mando faction.

If the discblade had struck the plates on Cecil's chest, side, or back, then you're quite right, the armor would have protected him. Just like how if those trishot bolts hit, it wouldn't have been the end for him. However, even in real life armors, the neck area is perhaps the most thinly armored area of an entire fully body suit purely for the fact that it has to be so that one can look around:

"The CCT MK II was created with heavy armor coverage in mind. The torso plates covers both the front and back with solid protection, same with the thigh plates. Knee, shin, and shoulders are also plated. The armor proper also consists of a bodyglove to help with heat retention and cold mitigation, an armorweave flightsuit to give protection against light blades between the plates, as well as a reinforced flak vest for the torso to help with shrapnel resistance. As is standard in armor of it's class, the CCT MK II also comes standard with a helmet integrated comm unit."

True, the flight suit would mitigate the damage, but that barrier is intended for light blades, not a full discblade coming straight at it with much more power than the suit is intended for. Even moreso, the fact that Cecil is standing in the middle of a duststorm with his lightsaber on makes his figure stand out like a sore thumb, making such a precise attack very much plausible. The helmet may protect Cecil's head, but on no mando armor description on the site have I seen anything about protection for the neck. If the discblade were striking the plates of the armor, the attack would be nil, but due to the critical location of where the blade is hitting, I'm afraid I'm going to have to challenge your statement.

Even the official picture for the modular armor shows that there's no plates whatsoever covering the neck...
