Still waiting with baited breath for official word on Veti's weight...

You could be waiting for quite some time. It's rather rude to ask a lady's weight.

[Hellis]

aww Crabmeat, I was gonna post,. Now I have to change most of my post :C

D: It's not puppy fat! Veti's just... Fluffy... >.>



Nyah, Wordsmith pretty much nailed it, she really is about 30 stone in werewolf form, eight feet tall and sheer muscle. Why? Psh... Magic!

And sorry Hellis, you just gotta be quicker! XD But if you really are about to post something though? Just mention it in the OOC maybe, for a bit of coordination?

[Canoli]

Been without internet for a while, though not to worry. I've got it back now. Had to rewrite my post from scratch as a lot of things happened while my internet was down, but it's posted now! :)

[Lillian Thorne]

So I will have a post up in a few hours, yesterday threw me a curve ball.

Actually, I got the vibe that Henry was supposed to finish off the Nixie, as written in Heroes post. The problem is when people one shots the enemy without letting others get in on the action properly and as you said before yourself Ingraine, one shotting enemies are a no no?. The fact that Henry was looked past entirely in the post was no fault of mine >_> And this case the problem for me is that Henry was mid action, already going for the Nixie as well. And with Heroes writing that Henry finished her off, i wrote with that i mind.

That said, yes, I ought to have been clearer that I was writing something. I sent him a pm asking if he could perhaps change things a little bit. Otherwise I have to having to rewrite my entire post, without really having anything to go on now and ending up in akward middle ground.

[Lillian Thorne]

Just curious, who are you saying on-shot-ed?

[Hellis]

crabmeat skewers the nixie, writes that she dies from it, leaving no chance for anyone to interact with the kill. Down to writing her death scene.

[Igraine]

*looks over the posting from the past week or so* There have been innumerable opportunities to post these past few days, and not a one of us is psychic, knowing what will happen with this many players all the time. I have no idea who the "him" is you sent a PM to - Heroes? Crabby or... ? I didn't see an issue with anyone one-shotting anything, only people taking opportunities as they came to write what they could for their characters in a semi-timely manner.

However, if there was an issue between players (of which I know I, personally, was utterly unaware? And I can only assume Heroes was left equally at a loss?), why not bring it to us before this? We've been waiting on responses for that particular episode for some days now.

If you re-read the posts you will see that Crabmeat aimed his character at the Nixie but didn't write out her death until AFTER AH had declared it in his latest post. So if there was any "One-hitting" it was done by the GM, not the player and that is well within the GMs rights.

[Derren Krenshaw]

"The Nixie that was holding the knife was immediately impaled upon Raleigh’s antlers, moments before Henry—in all his natural glory—fully removed the water spirit from the realm of the living. Her body, still skewered upon the antlers of the dryad, began to wilt, and then subsequently disintegrate into a vast pool of acrid water, as if her body were a giant sponge being wrung dry by unseen hands. Her voice carried an ear-splitting wail throughout the cavern until, in mere moments, she died."

^ Hero's last post, before Raleigh posted again. Raleigh didn't 'one-shot' the Nixie, he and Henry attacked it, then our GM decided it died... fairly quickly, at that.

[Canoli]

What Hellis is getting at, is that AH explicitly writes in his latest post that Henry is the one who actually kills the Nixie, while it doesn't appear so in Crabmeat's post. Amirite?

Raleigh posted;
His antlers drove through the water spirit’s chest, the force launching the knife from her hand and off into the far cave wall with a loud clang. Her body writhed with agony, taking on an appearance entirely devoid of her former beauty, and humanity. She wilted, her china pallor discolouring to the green-brown of stagnant water and her face desiccated like an Egyptian mummy. The Nixie’s body was becoming flaccid as it hemorrhaged water from every pore and shrunk upon Raleigh’s horns as if punctured. Her dying breaths lacked all the enchantment of her magic, the screams reverberating off the walls in a chaotic dissonance. It thrummed in Raleigh’s ears still as he came to a halt, the creature now nothing more than a puddle of murky water on the floor and a thin varnish on his barbs.

Not mentioning henry, her being killed entirely by him.

That was the problem.

Canoli got it.

Crabmeat's opening paragraphs mirror the way Heroes said the Nixie died, disintegrating on his horns with a scream. He even mentioned Henry beside him as assisting in the kill.

If it's the 'assist' part of the post that seems to be an issue... it shouldn't be. It makes sense that Raleigh would think he killed the Nixie, whether or not his blow was the 'final' one (which, going by Heroes' post, it wasn't). Crabmeat didn't shunt Henry out of the picture, his character mistook what happened as the sole results of his actions, something that makes plenty of sense.

[Lillian Thorne]

There is nothing stopping you from posting Henry's version of the scene, you've had plenty of time.

[Hellis]

I missed that henry was mentioned. Despite having read it several times, so that feel somewhat bad. But I still have no idea what to do what so ever post wise, becouse there is no opening for where he could have 'helped'.

Yes yes. I get it. I should have posted earlier. I had irl set me back in that regard.

But there is things that stops me from writing Henrys version, in that the entire death scene is written out, everything from he drppign the knife, to dying and wiltering and there being no opening to interaction at all. But fine. I'll just drop it.

[Igraine]

All righty then, here's how it'll work. Post what you have. I'm not about to see a running argument in the OOC over a small, relatively minor section of the RP undone. Massage what you have, post it up, and if Heroes would like to rework anything when he gets the chance? Then I'll leave the rest to his discretion.

Period.

[Hellis]

No need. I will just have to cook something else up i suppose. For the record i was gonna have Henry jump in and keep her from using her voice for magic before she died. But that is moot because it was said her voice was without power as she died :P. I am sorry I caused trouble. let's just move past it. I am just very salty about seemingly being looked past.(seemingly, as it turns out I glazed over my own character being atleast mentioned. And that just makes me feel shitty, sorry about that.)

[Crabmeat]

Sorry, I seem to have unleashed a shitstorm. I wrote my post true to AH's post and what Raleigh's experience would have been; in the heat of the moment Henry's actions behind him would be unknown and I also didn't want to speak for Henry in how he finished off the Nixie. I did become aware that it may be construed that I ignored Henry so I purposefully put in the bit later on about turning to him for his input on the Lady of Ice. If you still feel I should edit any part, I'm sure we can sort something out. I'll start forewarning at least an hour before posting in the OOC in future to avoid this kind of issue arising again. No hard feelings and sorry if I've upset anyone.
