OOC: Operation Garelli Freedom

Alright, I've posted.

It's your turn again

Hey @RedneckLoves, your post looks good except for the whole idea of having the flash greande still work. I specifically put in my post ' The other grenade that had been thrown Alaasha directed towards the ground, not towards any specific target.', which suggests that it was too far enough away from any character to have any effect.

it was too far enough away from any character to have any effect.

It's a bright flash and incredibly loud and annoying sound that's fifteen feet away from you (the height of the walls). Even if the light is blocked, you should at least hear the continuing sound (45 seconds) designed to break or prevent a FS to concentrate.

Not to nit pick but wouldn't it be blinding redneck too then if you want it to be hurting Alaasha so bad?

It would, that's why she wrote that she threw the grenade (or at least aimed) the grenade before it went off.

So she can get knocked on her back, dodge an explosion of one grenade, and throw a 3rd grenade before the other explodes which should have gone off at the same time as the frag she dodged? In that case Alaasha can force push it right back at her before the supernova goes off too. Fair is fair.

Yes, but in her post she made no point as to tell that it had hurt her. Theoretically speaking, it would hurt her more because she's closer and Alaasha is on a tall wall. Redneck made no such intention in her post that the supernova hit her.

 

[Eccles]

Two Jedi at my case really isn't necessary when I'm also on Skype getting chatlogs from you guys. @RedneckLoves, can you please edit to throwing the grenade while also being blinded? The timeline doesn't support doing it beforehand, thanks :)

In all clarity; the grenade will be thrown and will have to be dealth with. The accuracy of the throw might not be great, but at this range a complete "Alaasha is outside its radius" is perhaps just as unlikely, if not more.

Also, to be fair, a wild force-push in the direction of where your threat is and where any attacks would be coming from wouldn't take that much concentration to make, as opposed to some of the more intensive force powers.

Considering the Supernova catches her offguard because it seems she didn't know what they do, why would the Force push be a rational action? It seems a bit metagamey, but that might be me.

Never said she didn't know what it was. Alaasha simply didn't see the grenade. A wild, frantic Force push isn't entirely unreasonable, especially considering that pushes take little to no energy.

Mindset could be "I'm in a battle and something weird just happened and now I can't see and there's a lot of sound so I'm just going to lash out in the direction that the person attacking me was in and hope for the best" or "I'm going to really quickly jump away in a random direction before I get hurt."

One or the other, really, matching up with Redneck being able to relatively accurately throw a grenade in the direction that she remembers her enemy being, after flipping around through the air, being mildly hurt (or so I remember from the post, anyways) and dealing with her own flashbang. =P

 

[Eccles]

I can argue that the reflex to suddenly being blinded and subjected to very annoying loud sounds would be different, but to continue this rather pointless discussion of what may or may not happen five posts from now is not really adding anything new and just reflects a negative light on the thread itself. The post will be edited, posting order will continue and when it's Reya's turn to post we'll discuss any problems that may or may not arise.

 

[Reya Starlyght]

Hey @Phantom, can you delete you post? I believe it's @Ecclessey's turn right now not yours.

 

[Phantom]

I was replying to @Arclight's post, but I will if I have to

We have a posting order, it goes Ecc, me, you, Redneck, Arc, and then Ral. It's Ecc's turn. So yeah just save it somewhere else and delete the post.

 

[Arcangel]

Probably my fault for tagging you in my post. Should still stick to posting order, i just tagged you to let you know that your character was the target of Kaliis attack.

 

[Reya Starlyght]

@Ecclessey, just want to point out that your character can't simply drown out two 130 decibel grenades by focusing. He would have at least temporary effects considering the grenades are meant to 'break focus'. Not to mention he's going to be seeing spots on his eyes even if he did shut them.

I don't remember my character doing anything besides 'taking a step forward'. When it's my turn to post and I will actually have my character perform an action during the effect of the grenade he will, ofcourse, suffer the same effects as anyone else. I wrote it like I did to denote that, because he has to put all his mental capacity in drowning out the sounds, he will not be able to do any Force-related abilities or be aware of anything that's happening around him (besides from the visual he has on Cassus and Kalii). He will not be able to do a Force push, which is so often handwaved as not needing focus.

Just telling you in advanced that there's going to be effects that's all.
