[quote=@Lugubrious] That would make me feel a little bit better about what would otherwise be a near-complete waste of time and IC resources. In your earlier post, the last mention of the ascent up was when Jake made the platform to use as an elevator. You didn't even say that the trio hopped on. There was no indication of where exactly they were in the ascent, but given that the tower was floating quite a way up (hundred feet or more), it wasn't exactly a hop, skip, and jump away. You posted after I made my complaint, silly, so of course you did. Still, I can always count on you to afford my actions some respect, and I thank you for it. [/quote] I also never gave any indication of how fast they were ascending either. That said, I don't feel that every character taking a hit is necessary RIGHT then. Unless these blades were incredibly and tightly packed to begin with, a large scale attack like that just isn't realistically guaranteed to hit something regardless. I am not saying you should automatically miss, not even coming close to it by any means, I am saying that misses should be expected and that in many cases, perhaps other writers, as I did with Dragon Fang and intend to do with Damian, though there is more time for bad things to happen as you didn't specify whether or not they'd stopped rising yet, to trade the danger of a Unison Raid for facing the remainder member of the guild. I must also raise a minor issue with your wording in the last part of the post. You imply no one else pays you heed or mind, which I know is not what you intended when you said it, but phrasing is important. There are a lot of less kindly inclined people on this forum when they see things like that, I just happen to not be one of them. And now onto the conclusion of this: Different writers are going to handle things different ways. Very rarely will we get the reactions we want. Hell, I imagine things would have been about the same had Damian used a similar spell if things were progressing a different way than they were. The best we can do is wait and see what their ultimate reaction is. I apologize for if I have addressed things incorrectly, and feel free to inform me if there is a point I make that you disagree with. I also apologize if it seems like I was ignoring the attack. That was not meant to be the case.
