Cry Havok OOC

[Jaz]

@Darasuum It wouldn't be as hard to dive down as it is to dive to the side, and she wouldn't have to get down as far. Shaw could adjust, sure, but she could probably manage to escape with some injuries. I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, but certain injury is one thing--certain death is a completely different species. I know I made it so Eris tried to flank them and thus got herself into the situation, but from an OOC perspective, certain death might be a little bit like god modding. I probably sound like an ass, I'm sorry. If you want, I'll edit the post so if she gets out it makes more sense.

Even with the force, it is good to note that since the character is injured they'd only move at the speed of a normal person at best. Mythbusters did a whole segment on how it's not humanly possible to dodge a blaster bolt at the distance of a hallway, so dodging to a grazing is really not going to work. It's not godmoding, it's logic.

I'd take a near death hit personally, like to the neck, and talk about a capture with Dara if I were in this situation, eris.

So maybe Jenton tries to push Shaw's blaster hand away, but it ends up hitting Eris in the neck? What do you think @Darasuum ?

I am not dara, but it sounds reasonable.

Just know that, in this situation, whatever hit you take is going to knock your character into a capture. Like a hit to the neck would require near immediate medical attention or death would happen.

@Eris Vesta i would be ok with that but the Gratia blaster fires two blaster bolts of substancial damage. I didn't want to really try and kill anyone in this thread but at the same time it would be metagaming if i didn't have Shaw act the way he does which is psychotically and with murderous intent and your character basically offered herself up on a silver plater to him. He didn't chase her or anything but she walked directly in the line of fire. A normal blaster only first one shot but the blaster he's using fires two so it would be twice as life threatening as a normal blaster with no protection on her exposed neck. If you really want her to survive and jenton to assist her and Mark to do so as well they would probably end up risking their lives as well and get themselves killed as well in a rescue attempt. So you have to ask yourself, big picture wise, is it better for her to die quickly, or risk the other people's lives and still probably die a slightly delayed death? Ik that might sound harsh but i'm just trying to give you an idea of how i see combat and wartime tactics, triage and all that depressing but necessary stuff.


Edit: sorry, made a few spelling errors.

I mean not to argue but as stated in the rules she has to have a chance to counter your attack.

@Darasuum I see what you're saying. Maybe the bolts hit her in the neck, but Jenton and Mark manage to get her to safety before further harm can be done. Then they try to get a medic, but she ends up dying before they can get to her? Could we make that work?

 

[Darasuum]

If you want you want to try that it's fine by me. But keep in mind that if the other characters make themselves easy targets shaw will still try to kill them. He's a ruthless SOB that i both love and loath at the same time.

 

[Darasuum]

And in the future use only one character in a thread at a time. That was a thing some people were saying should be called out and is against policy i guess.

I cannot pull up the exact rule(on mobile, feel free to look for it), but it's explicitly stated that there is a difference between giving someone a chance to counter an attack and having been written into a corner.

Not every attack is magically avoidable or blockable, sometimes you get hit.
