[OOC] Jedi Bounty

[ImportantNobody]

Missed opportunity for the two fat guys to fight.

[Green]

Your turn to post Important.

[LeeRoy]

Hay, Important, Jessibelle is waaaiiitiiiing.

[ImportantNobody]

I'm working on it.

[Schradinger]

Random applicable factoid: Bloodshot's slugs are depleted baradium, which I've always assumed is the star wars version of depleted uranium. So the slug will superheat once fired in order to burn through armor. It'll leave a nice, clean, agonizing hole as it burns and boils its way through a body, leaving a vacuum as the air cools in its wake and probably setting clothing on fire.

[Green]

Okay. So quick question before I make my post.

Are we going by the notion that a lightsaber can block a slugthrower?

[Schradinger]

They can intercept the projectile, sure, but it won't stop the mass from passing through the plasma and becoming a high-velocity spray of molten mist.

[Green]

Alright. So we're going by the logic that a lightsaber does not have any physical properties unless met with material similar to it's own? (Plasma)

[Schradinger]

From my understanding, it's an electromagnetic field that is filled with plasma and strong enough to prevent something moving as slow as say, a sword, from passing through, but something as fast as a bullet can overcome the resistance and maintain a significant portion of its momentum as it passes through.

[Green]

Gotcha. I tried finding examples of slugthrowers used against lightsabers, but I couldn't find any. The only thing I found was a vague reference about how some mercenaries had a repeater-slugthrower as a backup in case they ran into jedi, because the high-rate of fire was harder to deal with.

At any rate, I don't have any issues with not being able to block slugs. Just figured we'd sort it out before I made my post so that Jaskan (who, without doubt, know that slugs can't be blocked effectively) didn't attempt such.

Makin' mah post naof.

[LeeRoy]

Hey, I hate saying this, but I'm not feeling this RP man. I'm gonna drop outta this. Sorry y'all.

[Green]

Insta-fix;

The jedi master is secretly a sith.

[Schradinger]

If that's the case, then I need to switch dance partners. ImpNo can't very well go around fighting herself (or is it himself? I tend to identify people by their character's gender).

[Green]

We'll figure it out. What do you think, Important?

[ImportantNobody]

Maybe LeeRoy's character runs away after observing because he's a major chicken when it comes to unexpected new arrivals of jedi. I can have the hutt chewing him out over the hologram in my next post.

Things look even more lopsided against the remaining bounty hunter so we'd have to take severe liberties in upgrading how awesome he is if he can win unless someone else comes in with a replacement bounty hunter.

...or Nima trips on a broken droid and breaks her neck?

[Green]

It's going to be a tricky fix either way. Possible solutions;

- The Jedi master turns sith.

- Jaskan Voth turns sith. (Through a code-word given by the bounty hunter. They're clearly after the other two anyway)

- Nima trips and breaks her neck (may I suggest falling into a mechanical trap of some sort that kills her in that case?)

- Bounty Hunter turns into a jesus-ninja, or gets backup. (Don't like that one)

[Schradinger]

Turns into? Hell, he already IS a jesus-ninja. ;)

I could always switch him back to his original ability, which was that he can draw on the ambient force energy brought to the area by the presence of a force user in order to increase his own physical stats. He doesn't drain anything away from the force user in question, but the more force users there are/the more powerful a force user is, the stronger/faster/tougher he can get.

-Nah
-Possible. Then he kills the other bounty hunter by stabbing him in the back. They have something against him, personal or business related. For one thing they don't have to split the massive reward with another bounty hunter.
-I could go with the bounty hunter activating a security system trap if the above doesn't work out.
-"I don't like it either!" (said in the voice of the alien in the bar from episode 4)

If Nima has to fight both of them alone then she will have to be space jesus.

[Schradinger]

Your padawan could kill the wraith in a short fight sequence written by you, then I could turn Green's guy with that code word, then we could split up and the padawan's could fight while Bloodshot goes after the master.

[ImportantNobody]

That could work. Either that or star wars kid turned sith can stab him in the back if he wants the honors. Maybe after a fight sequence when it's clear Nima has won.
