Besides, we have a mage, a warrior, and a rogue. Perfect to start off with.
(I must have missed Schadinger's post, The Guild went down right when I posted. i'll address it now, along with yours.)
Regarding the initial fade-out and avoiding the counter: I again refer to Herriman being an ageless veteran of combat. On top of that, one could easily estimate the length of a sword, and know more or less when to expect a strike. Also, Herriman does have supernatural senses (The eyes, remember?). My arguement hasn't changed. Even then, Godmodding is the wrong word. You forget that Herriman was planning to be struck. He knew the strike was coming, he was expecting a certain direction of swing, he knew how close he'd be when the strike would come. You seem to keep forgetting that Herriman had this planned out even before he started charging. I know it's mostly on me that I didn't give every single damn detail of said plan, but I didn't think it'd be necessary.
regarding the "unclearness" of Herriman's previous use of a phase-out: Well, when Herriman used the power, he phased out and immediately reappeared coming at Priroda from the side. I don't really know what else to say about this other than you did indeed misread.
In regards to the teleportation: I feel that an explanation of the phasing spell would help ease this. The way Herriman's phasing works, is that since one of his god's domains is the multiverse, Herriman (if he focuses enough) can pull himself out of the material world, essentially removing himself from existence for a small amount of time by placing himself in the veil that surrounds all creation, and immediately reappearing somewhere else. Inside that Where Herriman goes, he can see others as silhouettes, those with more raw power being more easily defined. Time is also slowed. In Priroda's case, Herriman merely "blinked", not really seeing where he was going, and he didn't build up enough energy to do anything but think about where he wanted to go and be there. Since he had energy building up for three rounds (the beginning of the charge, the delay of Mifune forcing him to slow down, and the round where he actually closed the distance) He was able to remain in this other plane for longer, allowing him to coordinate a bit more and actually aim himself.
I thought a half-second (mostly really to emphasize the quickness of the disappearance, but I can see where the problem comes from) would be reasonable enough, but I'm going to have to edit the post, since Herriman did aim himself (so it actually doesn't make sense that he missed Mifune in that way). I might just take that out altogether.
In regards to the energy build-up: In the turn where Herriman started building up energy, I never said he stopped at any point after that. I said that he was building energy for a more substantial fade-out, and I assumed I wouldn't have to mention it much more beyond that. Also, I'd like to know how an arena environment affects what I say at all. Are you trying to say that since this in an Arena thread, I have to baby you with my writing?

Heyo, is this still open for people to join?
So, I think we should just start this, it doesn't look like anyone else is going to join...
For one, Herriman is a warrior who's fought to prove himself to his god for around a century. He's also got the help of those mutated eyes. He didn't disappear as he was struck, he disappeared just before. It also helps that he was totally expecting Mifune to swing. Remember that the blind charge was only an act, in order to get Mifune to strike him so Herriman could counter.
for two, I DID specify. Herriman came back in as Mifune was in halfway through the leap. Halfway, as in you've reached your peak height from the leap, you've got your feet off the ground, and are just about to start coming down. If you thought halfway into the preparation of the leap, you were mistaken.
Thirdly, Herriman had been building the energy to phase out for two rounds, and he was helped by the fact that Mifune decided to take actions to slow his charge even more. He did the same move against Priroda at full strength, and she managed to avoid it, so don't say it's OP. Also, unless if you can specify the point where I Godmodded (as in, took control of your character against your will), I'm pretty damn sure I didn't. You're just throwing around words like OP and GMing to make me sound like the bad guy here.
Also, being a samurai doesn't give you the magical powers of hearing the swings of a less disciplined fighter when they appear mid-swing. Once an object starts moving in the air, it starts to produce noise, and that noise builds up. In this case, Herriman's axe comes in halfway through a swing, starts to build up noise as soon as it enters (damn near silent, sinc it literally just appeared) and then it build up the noise associated with a sword swing as it moves. I never implied Herriman's swing was silent, but by the time you hear it, it's probably already hit you. Also, we're not fighting in a silent environment, remember there's a giant ass cheering crowd.

Um, I don't know if I missed something here, but how did Herriman miss Mifune, Dral? Mifune was off the ground (so he couldn't dodge at that moment). Mifune was moving backwards, and Herriman's swing was aimed at the center of his body (right at the spine), and he was coming from directly behind him, with the swing already halfway completed (and aimed) when he reappeared. Even if Herriman just held his axe out, Mifune's jump trajectory would have taken him back first into the blade.
Remember, Herriman didn't just turn invisible, he phased himself out of the material world. Mifune wouldn't have heard an incoming swing, and even if he had, you usually don't hear a swing incoming until it's about halfway through and with Herriman reappearing mid-swing, there would have been no sound.

Slowly and respectfully, the black door opened, revealing Lucan. Lucan, being the family's go-to hitman, had a sort of close friendship with Alfonse. Both were men of violence and bloodshed who had built their legacy using war, and both had an addiction to death. Lucan's addiction was more under control, however.
"It's a nice night, comrade." Lucan said, blowing smoke out of his mouth. Quietly, he stepped over to the chair closest to Afonse's desk, and allowed himself to slouch into it. "Listen, my friend. There are some personal matters I must attend to, so I have come here to ask you if I can take tomorrow off. I need to...wipe off some old stains, if you catch my meaning." He said, lifting up one of his legs and resting it on the knee of the other.
"Of course, If you happen to need me to do something tomorrow, I can attend to my personal matters at another time."

I don't want to say it, but I think this is going to die. So sad :)
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. FourSev cannot willingly betray The Empire, his programming would kill itself and his cybernetics (excluding the ones that keep him alive) would just shut down. As if the Empire already didn't have a titanium leash on FourSev, Loretta's "modifications" to FourSev padlocks that leash to herself. Now...if Den were to find away to disable FourSev and set him free...we may be able to come to some sort of agreement.
Hook, line, and sinker. Herriman never considered himself much of a fisherman, but it was a hell of a catch he was about to make. Mifune's blade looked like it was dead on course, but as soon as it was a mere hair's breadth away from cutting deep into Herriman's side, Herriman simply...ceased. The energy he had been building up reached its peak, mostly thanks to Mifune delaying the charge. Without a flash, without a noise, Herriman disappeared from the face of the arena.
He reappeared just behind Mifune as the warrior was midway into his leap, a mere half-second after disappearing. When he reappeared, it was also without sound or flash, and he had his momentum restored. He had taken all the extra time he had bought by building up energy to regain his momentum while he was phased out of time and space, and it was with this momentum the he intended to bury his axe into Mufine's spine, the weapon already halfway down by the time he had reappeared.
