[OOC] [Ranked] 2 v 2 battle! Reapers Vs Champions; A Dance of Blades!

[DJAtomika]

And now that that's done I'm gonna hit the hay.

[MelonHead]

Alright, you might want to be more careful with that in future though, because I'd argue after being slammed into a wall with the force Judgement is capable of producing you're be somewhat disorientated, which should slow your ability to draw your weapons as you process what just happened, on top of which you're also dealing with a sword strike on top of that.

Your character doesn't seem to have any biological limitations, I'm not entirely sure how her body works as you said she has no organs I'm wondering if she also has no human brain, in which case I suppose how she would react to what should be pretty bad circumstances like these is up in the air. Still, this is a case of doing a lot in a very short space of time, which in T1 -tends- to make your actions more shoddy as a form of balance. If someone does a flip and shoots at you in one turn, you expect neither action to be as effective as if they had just flipped, at least that's my personal understanding of the -turn- part of turn based combat.

Anyway, just my thoughts on the matter, I have no real problem with continuing from here, have a good night.

[GreivousKhan]

To clarify, Judgement didn't turn around at all, he just outran Tordor, who had much more ground to cover and none of Judgement's forward momentum. Tordor is pretty fast, but Judgement has him beaten significantly in a straight line.

@MelonHead

Outrun? Well, unless he plans on running out the window I'm not sure why I'd have to chase him, remember that Tordor was at the window when you charged in, and Dj's character was behind him about 10 feet, so your kick and jump took place about a stone throw away from where he was. He actually went past Judgment then pulled short to end up at his rear.

This is given the size of the room as established before he came in, btw, the towers top floor is built allot like the CN tower in Canada, one long round doughnut shaped chamber, only without the glass windows.

(technically DJ's PC should have bumped into a pillar as there are only really thin pillars in between the windows arches.)

[GreivousKhan]

Melon you make it hard for me to carry on some form of role-playing for my character in favour of just trying to beat her senseless. :(

@DJAtomika

Ya, a bit disappointing there is no dialogue or anything. makes the fight admittedly kind of boring really. We'll just have to caarry the entertainment in this fight then. :P

After all that is Judgement's personalty more or less.

@GreivousKhan

Regardless, I reacted to what DJ said happened, which was his character crashing into the 'wall' and pursued him, my character stopped short of running out of any window to effectively attack him. Meanwhile, you said your character was over ten feet away from Judgement when he landed, and at his seven o'clock, so also following what you said happened I summarised you had no chance of immediately running over and slashing at him.

It might not matter at all anyway, as IN will probably interrupt you when you turn around and completely expose your back to him to try and attack Judgement.

Also, you never actually mentioned there were no walls in-between the windows, though you probably should have mentioned that about three posts back when DJ hit the wall rather than flying out a window and potentially leaving you alone in this fight.

Wise cracking characters are a dime a dozen, they're the types I find really boring now-a-days.

@MelonHead

Not sure what wise-cracking has to do with anything. There's a difference between making jokes and having a meaningful dialogue, for example the first fight between Saber and Lancer in Fate/zero where both were trying to kill each other. But both had respect and understanding for each other, thus making the entire thing that much more enjoyable to watch. I actually originally thought Judgment was something akin to a knight with honor so the possibility didn't seem out of character for him. That was my initial thoughts anyway.

Ironically he seems closer to Berserker in allot of ways.

@GreivousKhan

Yes, Judgement is more of a living weapon than a person, though arguably you only have yourself to blame for Judgement's immediate attack as he sensed your character preparing deadly spells. If you want to have meaningful conversation don't start pointing a gun at a guy, IN might have been able to converse with you as Judgement would have scoped out the situation rather than trying to eliminate an immediate threat.

Though you probably remember from the last time you fought Judgement he did the same thing, he ran straight at you and didn't stop for anything.

@MelonHead

If you don't want to get shot at don't run in throwing around a sword and expect a lively chat about the weather.

Foo's get shot out here for less. :P

'“I think we’re about to have company.” He said absently as he fingered a trigger attached to his belt. The mechanism built into his sheath activated the clockwork device, making a faint whirring noise as it spun- gathering nether slowly as it did. It always paid to be on the safe side. Still the sound could just be his imagination. There was only one way to know for sure.'

The part where you started the fight before we'd even met, you shouldn't prepare magical attacks if you don't want the fight to start. Judgement has only one option at that point, fight or die.

@MelonHead

How would he even know about that? If it was a spell or magic or some made up aspect like the arcane then maybe. Like Aether, Nether is a Spiritual Element(or in this case a hypothetical kind of matter similar to Dark matter), which means it cannot be perceived by any physical sense. The only way Nether can be seen is if it were mixed with an Element of the Physical Realm (Most often Darkness, Fire, or Earth). In it's raw form it's usually just dark energy, and while he can detect undead and so on I don't see anything that tells me he can sense cosmological forces and separate where they are taking place (that would kind of be like sensing black holes or something). The Element of Nether is not necessarily the essence of death. It simply represents the destructive aspect of reality.

But anyway, this isn't a Sci-fi RP, I try to stay away from science discussions whenever I can.

@GreivousKhan

Judgement really can't sense anything personally, he prayed to a -god- for help, regardless of whatever scientific mumbo-jumbo you come up with for your fantasy magic it's not escaping the perception of a god.

@MelonHead

If he has the omnipresence of a god, I think that should be more clear in your sheet. From what I read, there wasn't even any moment of prayer or dialogue in his post that gave even a hint that he was aware of what was going on.

It was unavoidable anyway, since he needs to spin the wheel and activate the clockwork mechanism just to draw his sword.

One of the reasons I haven't drawn my sword yet in that four way now three way.

Also nether is not magic any more then Ki is in DBZ, they make a clear distinction of the difference between magic and ki in that show, and I do the same for nether.

'This is the ability he uses to sense and hunt down evil and unholy opponents, it allows him to sense undead, demons, spirits and other creatures considered inhuman or unnatural to a 'human' God.'

At which point he has a fair estimation of your character's ability, by activating the ability by praying to his god in one of my earliest posts, though it's obviously not perfect as he didn't single your character out to be attacked, he dealt with the first enemy he saw. The only person with apparent omniscience is your character and his spirits, on top of his other abundance of abilities.

He can't actually know your character is preparing some magical ability, which is why it's not said in my post, but he would note an increase in your character's 'unholy' presence (this is to his perception, it really doesn't matter how you describe your power, this is just how my own character's power interacts with it.) Which would have the effect of increasing his desire to end the threat quickly, which I believe I made apparent in my posts.

Regardless, all moot, point is you can't blame me for killing the conversation when you started charging magical attacks before we even met.

[GreivousKhan]

Ohhh, now I see what DJ did. Nice.

[ImportantNobody]

Listia would help out, but if you guys want to talk she'll bring out a picnic basket and we could all sit down and have a load off. ;)

Or she could help. I'll likely post tomorrow.

[ImportantNobody]

I think Listia's actions scared everyone off. The battle is won, Melon!

[DJAtomika]

@GreivousKhan hasn't been around in two days. I think he might be busy or something.

[MelonHead]

Khan is usually busy at the weekend, on the other hand Khan may have fled after realising he gave IN pretty much the definition of an advantage on his attack, so T1 wise he should really have to take damage.

In which case, yeahhhh victoorryy

[GreivousKhan]

About time Important came for me.

@MelonHead

Well considering Judgment has not so much as breathed in his teammates direction, it is an insane proposition isn't it?

Judgment could benefit from a quirk of some kind. It would be hilarious if he sang hymns during battle.

"This little light of mine," *Swing*

"I'm going to let it shine," *Swing*

"This little light of mine," *Swing*

"I'm going to let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine!" *Block*

Now that would be terrifying, more interesting the a stoic suit of mail. Not that I'd tell you what to do, but it is an observation.

I might steal that if you don't use it though, that's gold.
