So we have a problem with this thread I like to discuss starting with Spooks OOC comments.
- Spooks OOC notes:
OOC: Since we've all posted a round, my exit interruption has been accepted by you two.
Just to be safe, Kahseh walked with his right hand on the hilt of his blade. It was a good thing that Mashyuu's body was sitting on the right shoulder of the grunt in front of him too, that way he could easily...well...you get the point.
This means you have to unsheathe with your right hand, this requires a bit of room to do so depending on your holster. Which isn't mentioned by the way.
The grunt carrying Mashyuu was a meter in front of him, while there were 3 more grunts in front of him.
Your character has about a meter (or less) room to draw their weapon efficiently. The momentum behind this attack would become minimal due to this lack of room, along with other grunts literally blocking the attack which I will cover later on.
The other grunt walked beside the body of Mashyuu because obviously it was important.
So when I approach, a grunt is left of me, and right for you.
The man first passed the grunt carrying Mashyuu, lifting his hand about a foot behind the grunt (or "figure" to Spook) Since there was a a viking grunt between this man, and the corpse it was pretty obvious that he was aiming to get to Mashyuu but the distance between him and the corpse was about 5 feet.
Alright, this is where things get fucky. Primarily due to your description of what happened;
1. Since there was a a viking grunt between this man, and the corpse it was pretty obvious that he was aiming to get to Mashyuu but the distance between him and the corpse was about 5 feet; I didn't say shit until I touched his body, so there was no viking grunt for you to notice; until too late.
2. lifting his hand about a foot behind the grunt; how can I be 5 feet apart from the corpse and have my hand about a foot behind him at the same time
3. I approach the grunt carrying the body from the front, and until I'm close enough I raise my arm -- since you bore witness to the arm raising, the 5 feet apart bit becomes invalid; see: Spook passed by the figure from the same side he carried the corpse, hiding the fact that he raised his arm towards Mashyuu, by hiding the fact one would have to raise their arm as the corpse limits the field of view of the grunt carrying it. In which case I am walking on the correct side in order to use the corpse to hide my moving arm.
So this establishes a clear position, with a grunt left of me, me, a grunt right to me carrying Mashyuus corpse and some other grunts that weren't properly positioned other than in front of you. And I'm sure you can imagine how unfeasible it is to cut down someones head while theres a person in the way, while also having 0 power behind the strike(which wouldn't chop my head anyway). Itd logically result in you chopping down your grunt before your sword can even reach me.
The grunt carrying Mashyuu was a meter in front of him, while there were 3 more grunts in front of him.
There are basically three grunts between you and Mashyuu from the way you worded this. Or the one at the side of Mashyuu, and youve given me the liberty to decide the one you teamkill by drawing out your weapon and charging at me obviously.
staying a meter apart from the grunt carrying it.
This however all changes again when you mention this:
The man would be only two feet from Kahseh before he dashed forward, making this kill sweet and easy
This isn't even a situation, due to you saying that you are one meter away from the grunt with the corpse as you see me raising my hand and doing things. Your post is a complete mess and it contradicts itself from line to line. There's no room to properly draw your weapon in this distance anyway.
Alright onto the next post by Menace:
Kahseh was swinging his blade aimed at the unknown figures head who were between Mashyuu body her rage only heightened, Percila once she was over them shot down
You shot down as Kahseh swung his blade, at a person you identified as unknown. This will be a grunt. This action occurs once you were over us, but left us with no detail as to actually when you were over us--allowing me to touch Batman and void the rest of your post due to your character completely having forgot Mashyuu, and having no reason to come down and throw a reaction that heavy.
Besides, your entrance is pretty metagamey if I must say so myself, it took you MINUTES to get at Batman at top speed? Thats way out of the range of your haki, you couldn't have known where he was if you had to travel that much distance. So you detailed that you detected it leaving the arena, but then finding it again from much greater distance? Questionable at best.

Really? I also like how you editted your doriki in, specifying that you have 1 more point in spirit than I; very coincidental I'm sure -- if even allowed, since the allotment of doriki needs to be initialized during your first post in the topic. If you want to involve a battle moderator in this, I will request them to completely void you.
Edit Markers - On the contrary edit markers are post in IC topics without actual IC content that are used to track if the previous post has been edited after the marker has been posted.
Editing - Editing in a topic is not allowed unless all participants in the topic agree to allow the edit. This is more so a Combat Topic issue and will automatically resort in the post in question being voided.
Starting from:
"Your character has about a meter (or less) room to draw their weapon efficiently. The momentum behind this attack would become minimal due to this lack of room, along with other grunts literally blocking the attack which I will cover later on.
The other grunt walked beside the body of Mashyuu because obviously, it was important."
Kahsah had not stated if it was either his dagger or his Knight blade so Spooks decided it was his knight blade which is nothing wrong, however, Kahsah blade is 80 centimeters while his hilt is 15 centimeters leaving 5 centimeters of space for him to unsheath his blade from his holster. Neither party described the grunts stopping so it can be assumed they kept walking to allow Kahsah their leader more space to pursue his attack at his full force while carrying out the order to get Mashyuu to the WG.
"The other grunt walked beside the body of Mashyuu because obviously, it was important.
So when I approach, a grunt is left of me, and right for you."
Kahsah stated he had five grunts. One carrying Mashyuu on his right shoulder, the other three walking in front of him meaning that they could be beside the carrying grunt to the left or between the first grunt and Kahsah making a three-layered positioning with Kahsah in the very back and the final two in the middle which would mean a 5th grunt is to the right side of the carrying grunt and Kahsah who was a meter behind the carrying grunt to the right as well.
Spooks himself wrote that he passed by the grunt carrying Mashyuu from the same side he carried the corpse which would be on the right shoulder yet he would have to pass by Kahsah and the grunt who is also on the right side of the carrying one just to get there which by then Kahsah would already have been alerted of his presence rather or not Spooks spoke as he stated he didn't, especially since he was slowing raising his hand out to Mashyuu which would be in front of Kahsah.
If we use this as a basis then his first point
"1. Since there was a viking grunt between this man, and the corpse it was pretty obvious that he was aiming to get to Mashyuu but the distance between him and the corpse was about 5 feet; I didn't say shit until I touched his body, so there was no Viking grunt for you to notice; until too late."
Spooks ignored the grunt that would have been right next to the carrying grunt completely and just squeezed his way right in, seeing as how the grunt was there to protect the one carrying Mashyuu rather or not Spooks spoke has no weight as the grunt would have reacted regardless because that was what he was there for.
"2. lifting his hand about a foot behind the grunt; how can I be 5 feet apart from the corpse and have my hand about a foot behind him at the same time"
I don't know what happened here but either way since Spooks should have never even gotten that close without someone noticing him and since Kahsah's positioning is weird as well I think both points should be canceled out.
3.
"I approach the grunt carrying the body from the front, and until I'm close enough I raise my arm -- since you bore witness to the arm raising, the 5 feet apart bit becomes invalid; see: Spook passed by the figure from the same side he carried the corpse, hiding the fact that he raised his arm towards Mashyuu, by hiding the fact one would have to raise their arm as the corpse limits the field of view of the grunt carrying it. In which case I am walking on the correct side in order to use the corpse to hide my moving arm."
As I mentioned, Spooks completely ignored the original positioning of four of Kahsah grunts as well as the 5th that was clearly positioned while acting as if Kahsah would have never noticed him walking directly beside him while raising his hand slowly as if attempted too. Needless to say there was alot of manipulation rather intended to or not to make his post possible.
