It'd be easiest if one of you just backed down, because this is a total standstill. I'll throw my wrench into it while I'm waiting for Tales of Two Wastelands to install, but I'll probably just say the same thing.
The way I'm reading it, it looks like BOTH of you, at the same time.
Totally misinterpreted the other's post, and now you're at a standstill because you're both doing something impossible and expecting both of them to work. And neither of you is budging on that.
@EmptyArmor LeeRoy has a point there. You told me that you wanted to see the fight through to the end, and it certainly seems as if both of our characters are set to die and neither of us will likely give in. We could roleplay out a mutual kill.
Sorry about the wait. That idea sounds good to me, as long as Rilla or someone else picks a winner at some point. PM me your ideas? I'll send something to you too sometime soon.
@EmptyArmorI don't really think I can offer up any ideas, considering what's on the table. Zande dies from having his soul ripped out, Tanya dies from having her soul ripped out, double soul sharts, brown pants all around. That is of course assuming the ruling is in favor of her reaching the dagger before the axe hits. It seems like Zande's airborn axe tossing and Tanya's mad ducking skills might cancel each other out in terms of impracticality, leaving it up to a wild guess to determine a true winner, if there is one.
If I might intervene, if you want to complete the match. Simply allow these last four posts to equate zero. Both attacks either miss or do minimal damage. The give yourself a four post limit to finish the fight.
@SkallagrimThat would allow Empty the freedom to change Tanya's positioning whilst Zande would pretty much be in no position to do anything at all. We'd need to reverse back at least several posts to get to a fair point, and that'd be one hell of a big retcon. I'm okay with it if Empty is, but it'd be pretty annoying.
@SkallagrimIf Zande doesn't throw the axe and just lands behind Tanya, she reaches the dagger and we both die anyways. Zande because one wound will remove his soul, and Tanya because she is bound by Rules Snake not to use a weapon under penalty of death. On the other hand Empty mentioned that the binding circle on the floor was the last one Tanya had enough magic in her to make, and so if she doesn't grab the dagger Zande will just turn around and hack her into mincemeat. I know there's a running theme about the "last four posts" going on here, but I only said that on a whim at the time since I figured the match would at the least be decided as a draw. We'd need to go back six posts I'd say, since that was the point where either character could one-shot the other without having any supreme advantage.
Look you guys do whatever you want. I gave you an out. If this were my match as judge you would void your last four and continue seperated. But by all means be at an impasse.
