Battle of Tatooine (Land): 'Til Death Do Us Part (OOC)

[Proleptic]

Yo fam. @Cainhurst Crow

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

Hello. Let's establish something right off the bat. I am not inside the ship. I am outside the ship, and always have been outside the ship.

An excerpt from your post "He had finally made it to the ship, and activated his purple lightsaber as it hummed to life, slowly circling around the vessel to make his way cautiously to the cockpit, to check for a survivor."

Hello. Let's establish something right off the bat. I am not inside the ship. I am outside the ship, and always have been outside the ship.

I know you aren't in it, but I figure you are peering into it, and the cockpit is open, so it is a few feet of difference.

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

Im looking up at it while still on the sand. The explosion triggers, and I use force jump to leap out of the massive fierball that ensues to engulf the ship and an area around it. I still get hit by the kinetic impact that knocked you down proleptic. If its a question of damage, I'd be willing to make the burns more harsh in nature. But at the same time im not going to change my post to put myself sitting in the damned ship, prudence.

I don't want you sitting in it. I will take more severe burns to the exposed areas, as it was my mistake to write incendiary. Then we can move on.

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

Alirght. I'll make the damage more intense and give the explosives more kinetic and destructive force. If its okay with you though @Proleptic, I would like to still be able to be on my feet and able to move. Just so that does not become an ooc debating point as well.

Of course. Run to your heart's content.

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

Well, run and be able to fight, but yeah.

Edit: Gonna be gone a couple hours. Medical stuffs. So if I don't post right away, that's why.

That's cool.

Gunsprayer. That's a pretty damn good weapon. Automatic fire as well, really going to make it hard for me to close the distance easy. I hope my post was acceptable for this particular engagement.

Hey there. So I was firing the wrist rocket with one arm and throwing the supernova with the other, very very quickly in succession, so I don't feel that you would have much time to react to both so efficiently. The rocket, being propelled faster than a person can throw, would likely reach you at nearly the same time the grenade goes off. Also, I thought you were facing the other direction and running towards your ship. When did you turn about to see the grenade and rocket? Anyways, I am launching the rocket very quickly after throwing the grenade. Your thoughts?

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

I got confused because you said the rocket went flying the moment the grenade went off, which implies it was fired at the moment of detonation. It also confused me that you phrased the rocket firing one way, but you didn't phrase it that way with the taking to the air, making it clear it happened the very second you fired your rocket. Also if you tried firing your rocket and throwing a grenade, neither would be very accurate, or otherwise one would be on point and the other would be wildly off. To illustrate, hold out one of your arms straight in front of you to "aim", and try throwing at the same time.

I was thinking of the grenade going off in like..... 1-2 seconds, so the time would be negligible. As far as the accuracy goes, she has targeting systems in her HUD, and the grenade doesn't need accuracy to do its thing really. It is wide range. Even without targeting systems, she just has to general direction lob the grenade and then shoot the rocket with aim. As far as getting up into the air goes, she does it as soon as the rocket is launched, yes.

So the way I was thinking it would go is I lob the grenade, and between 1 and 2 seconds after doing so the rocket is launched, and I am in the air immediately following, and covering you with gutripper plasma.

Okay. I'm going to read what you wrote, and then work on answering that as well as the second part of your question., My apologies for this method of posting. :p I;ll tag you once i got my answers together.

Okay, so as per the question on our geographic location. I figured that you and I were more or less opposite of one another, seperated by a couple 10's of meters, with the accord starfighter located, roughly, in between us and a couple meters to the side. So I'd be moving towards the ship at a diagonal direction, you'd be on my right side and within my parapheral to see. So I guess in my head at least, the battlefield is more or less daimond shaped, the ship and destroyed ship serving as two opposite points, ad you and I being opposite points as well.

As for the other question, well there are two ways I could approach it. Side-stepping or ducking the rocket wouldn't really be out of the question, and you didn't mention the rocket worked on a proximity nor remote detonation, so I assume it goes off via physical contract or an internal timer. Your character sheet also doesn't mention a HUD guidance system nor a wrist rocket, but that is neither here nor there, a nitpick for the future that I will let slide. I could also use a force push to throw both the grenade and rocket off course, rather then the grab and toss that I did to the grenade. It'd probably take a similar amount of energy, just focused less on control and more towards brute force.

At least that's how I see it. The grenade wouldn't make it all the way into the fire without a telekinetic grab and throw, but I could always toss it away. We're not in a confined space, and the sand doesn't offer a lot of resistence to the sound waves, thus its effectiveness would take a hit at least for the sonic portion.

That's it for my nitpicking. Sorry but there was a lot to cover and I wanted to make sure I got everything. Even then, I feel like I might have missed something, so if you'd like you can feel free to point it out.

No problems. And if you really decide your actions are justifiable then I won't ask for edit and I won't report, because it isn't like it is entirely impossible I guess?

I am visualizing Jemma hiding within some dunes while your guy approaches the ship, and therefore if we are in a diamond, then she would essentially be the same spot in the diamond as her ship. When you begin retreating towards your ship, I would rise up and pursue you, with both of us heading for the point that is your ship. That's how I was thinking of it. So from my point of view you are looking the opposite direction of my body. That doesn't matter though. We can't argue over differing images. Heh. As far as dodging or defending goes, I guess pushing them both aside would be cool. You do realize I am in the air though and rushing me with lightsabers won't go too well right?

@Cainhurst Crow

So basically I will just write a response and that's fine. No need for edits. I understand now.

 

[Proleptic]

Heeyyyyyy. So I feel like you might be a bit tired for that crushing move bud. I mean you did a really intense force leap in one post, then a grab and throw in another, and now this. That seems like a bit much. Also, this is a flipping durasteel jetpack. It isn't exactly weak.

@Cainhurst Crow

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

@Proleptic , True. Though he's not using his force abilities with that charge and lunge. It's just a regular murderously fueled attack.
