For some reason I had trouble finding words that would properly describe the attack the way I wanted to. Still do, actually. I wanted to make it clear that Avlis wasn't taking a chunk of rock out of the ground and throwing at you, but I felt as if it would easily be construed that way. 'Tendril' was my best way of saying it.
Essentially, Avlis is telekinetically ripping up the ground around Orlaan and having them try and encompass him. Imploding, in a way. The 'tendrils' were just my way of focusing the attack. Meaning: the ground is converging into four 'waves' which in turn are crashing down upon Orlaan.
I hope that made sense. Tell you the truth, I might just be having one of those days.
We could just OoC agree a way to quickly wrap it up as more of a pre-established story rather than a PvP. Things are past the point where it's holding much of a away on future events now (or I suppose present events at the point), and it will help is wrap it up more quickly.
I think considering how long the fight has gone on, enough Jedi have evacuated to the point where Orlaan could throw up a smokescreen and escape. Or, maybe he is prompted to leave after being mortally injured by my attack. Something like that.
The whole point of this battle is for Orlaan to stall Avlis long enough for the Jedi to escape. The simple and logical solution is that the Jedi escaped.
