[@Cruallassar] In your post you said the arrows were "knocked and ready" followed by Crual loosing them. Nothing about drawing it back. Methinks Crual was looking for another cheap hit and run. His brains have a high chance of decorating the lair walls, given just how nicely placed the shaft of the explosive arrow is. Even if he's about to fire, he'd still blow up. But disregarding that... I've already shown why his chin is not protected. Nothing is below it, it is exposed from the front. Shash is above all else, a genius fighter. It has well over a thousand years of combat experience. I know that Crual is ten times faster and all, but his ability was already figured out by the monster. It used prediction to checkmate him. I honestly have no idea how you can in all seriousness say [i]"the only reason you are actually getting away with this much..."[/i] Crual hasn't endured any sort of even remotely debilitating injury and has hardly been in any sort of risky situation because of his easy escape power and all seeing eyes. Now that a way to actually nail him has been revealed, all of a sudden the many circumstances I had planned are now in your favor? Like how his arm is somehow protecting his chin in some unreal way, how his arrows suddenly weren't knocked and in danger of exploding, how he might just materialize four inches in a nice direction, or perhaps how your image of an absolute clobbering is more accurate that mine, and trumps my intent because you can freely manipulate my character's might?... Not only that, but you intend for him to not only get away with a kill, but also wounds that both you and I know for a fact won't at all hinder him during the rest of the fight. The cracked ribs hurt, he winces in agony but still manages to barely dodge the homing missile shadow spell barrage with ease. I know how these things play out. You realise that resistance plays a part in physics? A little something called Newton's law? I surely don't have to mention how strength plays a part in that. After all, I just did in my last post. But you are entirely ignoring how Shash is wicked fast as well as strong. It is possible to knock an elf's block off with a bundle of golf ball rocks, and who better to do it than a monster that can jerk mortal arms off with the very appendage it is using to cream said elf. Of course I expect to hear more about how Shash swings like a girl and could never hope to knock something far smaller than it out. Yes, its a bunch of rocks stuck to a superweb. Shash is just that strong. Know how fast the tail end of a whip cracks at? The improv cat o flail isn't quite that fast, but its awful close.
