Official Ruling: Shadzai takes (4) Four of the blaster bolts to his armor, which bleed through, causing burns and injury. and the rest to his saber arm and saber side, incapacitating the arm and causing him to fall to the ground severely injured, the other half of the bolts fly overhead harmlessly.

Shot locations and damages
1. The first to his saber hand, moderately burning the hand underneath the armor, rendering barely usable without recovery.
2. Shot to the back of the shoulder, same as above.
3. Shot to the left shoulder, partially fusing the armor material to the skin of his shoulder.
4. Shot to his unprotected arm, sever burns to the skin and muscle all the way down to the bone.

If Shadzai survives he will likely need immediate surgery to save the arm, or a cybernetic replacement.

Sadzai will not be able to finish out the part of his post where he fires blaster bolts and screams challenges to the Mandalorians due to his injuries.

The reason for this being that while a defense was written in theory, it treated itself as a theory without actually addressing the incoming shots, barring this line ("And if the bolts somehow hit him, the one with the rifle would hit the shoulder and the other the side of his body, both armored, and the Massassi would surely be able to block enough blaster bolts to at least survive.")

Nowhere did the defense AS WRITTEN address the incoming blaster bolts beyond assumptions as to how the defense would work "in theory". Below is a how a similar defense could be written to actively defend in a similar manner.

example:
(Shadzai twisted his body and blade to deflect the first three shots in a line along the crimson sabers length, which went flying randomly into the jungle. He did not stop moving however as more bolts flew at him. Dippings his blade slightly to catch the 4th bolt before flicking it back up to catch the 5th that came hot on its heels... etc, etc, etc,)

It is always best to address each attack individually, even if they come as part of the same "flurry"

@Versok please edit your post within 12 hours to reflect the ruling. Tag the myself and the opposition in the OOC once the edits are made, I will review your edits and the oppositions posting time starts at the timestamp of my approval to your edits.

Made the edits, basically trying to get to the boat before getting killed
@Arclight @Relent @Sreeya
Can you edit to make it sound more like hes struggling with his injuries? As I see it he might be able to stagger to his feet and start making a run for the boats, but the way it's written it sees more like he just pushes himself to his feet with no problem and can achieve a dead sprint with no issue.

Hopefully done for real since I am going to sleep now @Arclight

@Fantasy Liver I'm sorry but I've reported your post. I don't think you're getting the grasp of npc usage and what's considered metagaming/exploitation and what's just flavor. I've tried explaining it to you and it's gone nowhere =/

Couldn’t you have messaged me before reporting me first? I’m pretty agreeable. And come on - “it’s gone nowhere?” You make it sound like we’ve gone back and forth about this and I’ve been dragging my feet. You posted about my NPC use exactly ONE time in this chat and I was more than compliant with it.


Wasn’t it you guys who said that the Wookiee’s came back early? That they came on boats? That they were hauling ass to go kill some Sith? I’m not using any NPCs - I’m using what resources have already been established by you guys.

So there are a lot of issues and inconsistencies that are being used in these posts to gain an advantage.

Post #7 establishes the Wookiees are hanging back and firing at the Sith, so it seems too convenient that now the Wookiees have all cleared a path to the boats for a Sith who is there to kill their people to conveniently jump into and take off. Particularly if the fighting is so thick that someone 15 meters away can't see anything. That all is far too "convenient" of a defense to be comfortable with.

Likewise, if the Wookiee boats are right next to the Imperial boat as your post seems to imply (the Wookiee boats were just as close to her) then you're going to be swarmed by Wookiees and charging into a throng of angry Wookiees.

As for the boats, I've been asked to give a hard number, but no one on either side has defined them, which almost makes me inclined to say that no one can use the boats. With 20 returning Wookiees, I'm going to say that there are a total of 4 boats.

Ultimately, this ruling comes down to: if you want to take advantage of the NPCs that are around, you take the good and the bad. Randomly having the path completely clear of enemy NPCs so that you can take advantage of enemy NPC equipment is not acceptable.

Admin Ruling: There are 4 boats left, but as per prior posts, the Wookiees are still around those boats. @Fantasy Liver will need to edit his post, and I'll give you an option. Either 1) Do not go for the boats or 2) Go for the boat, but Staff SWAT will be NPCing the throng of Wookiees you are charging into

Okay that sounds fair. I’ll make an edit shortly
