otter Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 It wasn't a killing blow, yet.And Raxa doesn't know about Rockosis-he doesn't trust others most of the time. He wanted to come and make sure that the others could do what it was. When he noticed that it was Shade, who had before tried to start his own order of assassins, Raxa wanted to make sure sure death was dealt. Plus, with how the crystal is made, it's meant to shatter. It could easily appear that the other two had managed to kill Shade.And about the gravity-it could still fluctuate and affect the path of the bolt. It all really depends on what Bane does with it.Also, one more thing, involving Kaerhi-if you had a Skakdi that recalcitrant working for you, wouldn't you at least want to follow them and make sure that they were doing what you said, not getting others to kill you, or at least see them out of the Koro? profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lorax Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hey, wait. Snelly, what're you doing here? That's the very same question we've been asking of Raxa. The difference is that Snelly knows the location of this topic. :PIf Raxa did see the two leaving Onu-koro, that doesn't explain how he knew which route they took after that - there are quite a few tunnel junctions between the village and the exit towards Le-koro.And Raxa doesn't know about Rockosis-he doesn't trust others most of the time. He wanted to come and make sure that the others could do what it was. When he noticed that it was Shade, who had before tried to start his own order of assassins, Raxa wanted to make sure sure death was dealt.If Raxa wasn't sure that they could handle someone like Shade, why did he send them in the first place? It seems odd that he would send a pair of assassins after somebody and then decide to go take care of them himself. If he needs to do everything himself to make sure it is done right, why run a whole organisation of killers like NEX if he won't let any of the killers do the killing?Also, one more thing, involving Kaerhi-if you had a Skakdi that recalcitrant working for you, wouldn't you at least want to follow them and make sure that they were doing what you said, not getting others to kill you, or at least see them out of the Koro?Well one thing is for certain, you definitely wouldn't sneakily follow said unstable Skakdi who is already mad at you and then steal his kill. That just encourage more anger and rebellion.And don't forget he was with Hatann as well. Hatann isn't the most lawful Skakdi around, but remember that he was trying to stop Kaerhi from fighting Raxa earlier on (I apologise that he didn't do more, but almost every time I had half a post written with Hatann interjecting, one of you would post and what I had written would need revision). That makes him less of a threat, and Raxa has already proved the he could deal with Kaerhi.I'm still not seeing how Raxa knew where to find them or his having any plausible reasons for acting as if he was happy to send them off for a few posts after they left and then suddenly drop his conversation to go after them.It wasn't a killing blow, yet.How could it not be? Here it is in your own words from the topic:He would die slowly, in constant agony.That looks awfully like a killing blow to me. Not "if it hit...", not "If Bane chooses this for his character", but "he would die".And about the gravity-it could still fluctuate and affect the path of the bolt. It all really depends on what Bane does with it.Not once you've already RPed the bot hitting his character's lower back and injecting poison. There isn't much room for interpretation there, if any. Maybe whether it cut his spinal cord and paralysed him.Plus, with how the crystal is made, it's meant to shatter. It could easily appear that the other two had managed to kill Shade.It doesn't matter what it looks like, this is about what actually happened. The point is that Bane, Pie and I were having a good fight before you burst in from nowhere and autohit Shade with a killing blow, thereby cutting short the fight and our enjoyment of RPing it. Raxa had no right to do that or even be there. Can you see why that was a bit frustrating for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otter Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Okay, I forgot an "If it hit...yadda yadda yadda" in there. Besides that, I never described the bolt as hitting as well. So, it is still up to Bane to decide whether or not Raxa truly did hit. The fight could continue, easily.To describe how he could follow and find them-he's trained to do things just like that. Even if he wasn't, you could probably follow the echoes of the battle to its source-such as, for instance, that sonic scream that Shade has going currently.Also, to explain my reasoning as to making sure they did whatever it was, would you mind if I pulled in an Out-of universe example? It would make explaining that part a lot easier, if you don't mind.EDIT: @Hubert-the Death Knight thing is a cleverly drawn comparison by Snelly.Basically, if we made weapons with runes like that and had super-heavy armour, as opposed to having the runes branded onto their body, the Mark Bearers would all be Death Knights.All hail the Lich King!

EmperorWhenua Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Enough of this bickering nonsense. However, from an outsider point of view, Kal's interruption, true or interpreted, is not kosher. If a couple people are having a perfectly legitimate and happy time roleplaying, especially in a fight, there is no excuse that allows anyone to barge in and do what he or she wants. It's all about playing well, not playing every game. Plus, really Kal, you always have a habit of inserting yourself in every little thing and that gets on people's nerves, so taking it easy for once would not do you any ill.
