Kick 'em When They're Down OOC

[Mad Dog]

@Mad Dog RE your last post, might I suggest you not try and hyperspace ram the temple? Firstly, there's no guarantee your ship won't immediately explode. Secondly have you considered the ramifications of such a move being allowed to take place successfully to the extent it is in your post? Thirdly, I don't know if you have but by trying to activate hyperspace before your ship has completed any turns of preparation requires you to report your own post to Loco, who will roll on the hyperspace mishaps like what happened earlier in this thread.

I suggest just ramming the temple, if you're set on kamikaze-death, or turning to flee if you'd rather Karen maybe live. If not, you need to report your post to Loco if you haven't already.

Sorry I should have replied to the rest of your statement all at once, the ship itself wont just explode on it's own, theres a list of negative outcomes, but since she is intentionally trying to obtain one of those negative outcomes I'm not sure if the other apply, like purposefully failing a saving throw, or jumping down a hole instead of over it. When you aim to fail, you always succeed.

I understand your note about the ramifications, but this kind of a move will probably be a PC only move, if it's even allowed to happen, and it wont be that devastating, the temple as a whole will probably remain upright, but since the Sith are likely packed in their tight, I'd say it has a decent chance at taking out a handful of NPC Sith.

If your intent is to take out a handful of NPC sith, perhaps your post shouldn't talk about killing "hundreds, if not thousands". That's what I was referring to RE ramifications, as a ruling allowing that (which I don't think is forthcoming, I'll be honest) is tantamount to giving every PC with a ship a free WMD.

Unless your character is an unreliable narrator assuming this will be much more effective than it turns out to be, that's always an option I guess.

 

[Loco]

Reported.

Also @Loco what die would you like me to roll?

A d20.

And, just so we're clear- in contrast to the mando usage earlier in the thread- I think this maneuver is extremely I'll advised.

Well her thoughts would be just that, thoughts. What would actually happen, who knows?

Definitely not a success. Rolling for the mishap:

Mishap result: because Karen forgot to override the hyperdrives failsafes, the system detects Korribans gravity shadow and suffers a hyperdrive failure as the safety protocols engage. The ship immediately aborts the maneuver mid-jump. Since there was barely a few hundred meters between the fighter and its target, and the ship is moving full speed, there's no way to avoid a regular collision. The ship explodes, dealing relatively light structural damage to the temple.

@Mad Dog

Ofc. Haha.

Gg guys!

 

[Denzein]

GG - things certainly happened!

None of you laid a finger on me! Haha. "Escaped" without taking a single hit haha.

Who's supposed to post now? Do we wait for @Mad Dog to make edits and then all do exit posts?

 

[Denzein]

Mad Dog edits, then we post closers or one of us can just /end thread I guess, there's no more opponents.

 

[Loco]

It's not necessary to wait for edits, given the finality of the ruling. Mad Dog can make a death post if desired, but it shouldn't hold up the rest of the participants.

I made edits.

 

[Loco]

That works too then.

Hey so I don't mean to be that guy, but I don't think her light-saber is recoverable.. since the ship she, and it, was in is now like a 12th the size or so..

Even if it was, her hand/head most certainly aren't haha - I don't think that bounty's recoverable at all.

The devil is in the details

Just turn one of your own in, and color the crystal with a highlighter. It'll be fine.
