Ok, so reading it over, Matt, you will definitely need to make some edits. You have to remember in PvP, that once you set your character up in your previous post, you can't back-peddle and try to rewrite it. Not saying it was intentional, sometimes we forget what we write, so just be sure you look back at what your character is set up to do in the last post before you start writing and carry on after that.
Now, of course, as you see Prudii has it set up that once your character had yelled out (and made himself a blinking target), he fires a missile. Since you've had your character in defense, the next step is to react to that, meaning that rocket is coming and hits while he decides to switch weapons...just saying...so here's your free pass to edit. Now you won't be able to do anything 'precog' but you can have him get up and start moving to help his Sith partner, since the last thing you want is to be even more significantly outnumbered or surrounded...or you can just have him bail while they're mostly focusing on her. Either way, timing is not being distorted that way.
On the issue of Force Stealth, you character can use it, but its moot at this point, the others know he's there, it doesn't turn him invisible (that's not how it works), and though they can't feel his 'force signature' he they def know he's there. So you're better off not wasting energy on that.
So, next as your character is moving out of the position from the missiles, he's being shot at, so that needs to be addressed.
Make those changes and tag me when you've fixed the post so I can read over.

Its been more than 24 hours for changes to be made. Matt's post will be ruled invalid and any attacks will hit.

@Zenya did you really feel the need to make 4 separate attacks against an opponent you know is going to surrender regardless? Anyway, I have a quick question, Sarisa is facing away from where Gren and Kalan are, with them behind her, is Lanna coming around the tree then attacking Sarisa's side, or coming over the tree with her repulsor boots and attacking from behind? Depending on where your attacking from, Sarisa is likely to see you or your flamethrower is going to set the tree ablaze, not a bad idea actually since being that close to that much heat would disorient Sarisa's ability to see via infrared vision.
If your attacking from the side, or from in front of Sarisa, I'm not sure how Sarisa wouldn't be able to react before Lanna attacks her. If it's from overhead the tree Sarisa has her back against, I see the flames being blocked by the tree, setting it on fire instead, though Sarisa wouldn't be able to see you since your on the other side of the fire. On a side note, is it really wise to leave a sith, captured/wounded or not, with an uncuffed hand?

The answer to your first question is yes.
I don't believe IC Lanna knew Sarisa was surrendering. That will happen when your character chooses to be handcuffed or not.
And so far, throughout the Roleplay, we have established the positions of our Jedi characters. Lanna attacked from the front, a bit offcentered or angled.
The reason she probably wouldn't be able to react is because she's sitting on the ground, out of force energy, likely grasping for air from all those bullets and explosions she just dodged. It also takes time to stand. Especially if there's a tree behind you so you can't back away.
If you need, I'll draw you a picture.
Oh, and yes. I thought it was fine to handcuff her to the tree branch. If you were wise I would have suggested not saying anything, and using it to your advantage in your next post.

No need to insult my intelligence, I simply want to understand how Lanna got in front of Sarisa when she was charging at her from the side, or from behind as your positioning isn't as clear as you seem to think it is.
It was my understanding that myself and Comrade's PCs started dead center, with Valen's Jedi 40 meters to one side, Prude and Narsi's PCs 40 meters to the other side, and your's being roughly the same distance either north or south of Sarisa's starting position. I had Sarisa move towards Prude and Narsi's PCs, around them, and had her come to a rest on the other side of them from where she had started, facing away from the direction she had come from. If your PC is coming towards Prude and Narsi's characters, crossing roughly 40 meters if their starting positions are considered to be at 90 degree angles, then in order for your character to be attacking Sarisa in the manner your saying, she'd have to have moved pass her position, turned around, and then attacked her face to face.
If your meeting up with Prude's and Narsi's characters before your PC launched her attack, then you'd be attacking Sarisa from behind, with a tree in the way. Repulsorboots or not, trees are tall and those branches are far more likely to catch fire before Sarisa does. If your PC is adjusting her intended path mid-sprint, which is how I believe you framed it, then she'd be charging Sarisa's position from the side, just as you say Lanna saw "someone off to the side of her." In your post you make no mention of moving to face Sarisa head on, which is why I asked. I don't know how Prude is suppose to be following after Lanna, towards Sarisa, from his position behind her while your character is suppose to be in front of Sarisa.
Even so, it is my intention of surrendering in my next post, which I've stated and even asked members of your team to facilitate. I just want clarification as to how your PC got in front of Sarisa without being seen beforehand, otherwise she'd have to be attacking Sarisa from behind, with the tree in the way. This is actually beneficial to you, I want you to keep in mind I'm essentially telling you how to better put Sarisa in a tight spot, did I mention my intent to surrender yet?
Basically, if Lanna sets the tree on fire, Sarisa can't tell where Lanna is, or from where she's attacking from. This leaves Sarisa even more open to the three rounds of blaster fire, which I intend on having hit Sarisa, two of them at least as i don't want Sarisa to die. As far as the telekinetic assault, it's my understanding that Lanna only does this if Sarisa attempts to flee, if I'm incorrect please let me know. Honestly I'm not sure what to make of Lanna's metal attack, as it is, Sarisa already puts herself through her worst fears every waking moment and most often faced with her regrets when she's asleep.
All that being said, I already know what Sarisa is going to do in my next post, either way it ends with her capture, so make it as confusing or flashy as you like.

If you are surrendering in your next post, we likely don't need any more OOC posts (from either side).
I will be joining the rest of the of group in my next post, but probably don't arrive in time to see how everything goes down given my distance from everyone at this point.

I didn't see Gaba's comment until now. I was online on Saturday, but somehow it didn't show for me. Really sorry about that.
That being said, I know this is probably impossible, but is there any way for my character to survive?

As far as I'm concerned, unfortunately no. Nothing personal, it's just A) not practical to just survive a missile hit like that without even trying to avoid, and B) not in my character to just let him live.

@Ecclessey has agreed to be skipped. It is @Zenya's turn to post.
