Walker also got his wrist shattered from the explosion. Since it was in the same location Lusk’s was I’d say maybe equal damage?

Cutting his wrists does a fair bit, and if he doesn't stop it he'll bleed out, so I rule -7, with subtraction of five each turn from loss of blood.

I have said, repeatedly, both here, and in our duel, that the vials were next to the veins in his hands, and not in them. He has had these vials in there for years, and puts new ones in every time he takes one out. Also, that was the hand that got blown up, so, there's no bleeding. It wouldn't do very much damage. He cut down his wrists, not to the side of his wrists. He wouldn't get hurt very much. Also, we only split 1 wrists. Not both, just 1.

Also, Itiah, you can't say that Lusk just puts his cubes on Walker, or that he just grabbed his hand. I didn't get mad at the cubes because it would do equal damage, and I could work with the other stuff. That's just godmodding.

Fair enough. Changed it to “attempted to put the cube on.”

Also, I’m pretty sure if you’re hand was blown up you’d still be bleeding way worse than a simple cut.

Cauterization. Also, it wouldn't be a cut. Walker has had those in their for years, so his body grew around them. Also, he put a small cut in his wrists. It hurt, but didn't really do very much.

I find it hard to believe Walker cauterised his hand in the middle of the duel because not only was there no mention of it, there was nothing hot he could have done it with.

Also, can you please respond to the attack? I’ve said I’ve changed it to your wishes.

Edit: I’ve seen Ark’s edit. Nvm

I'm waiting for Ark to respond to the fact that only one hand was cut, and it wouldn't bleed very much.

Avoiding the major arteries in your wrist would stop you from instantly bleeding out but a vertical laceration along your forearm long enough and deep enough to pull a hidden vial out of is still going to bleed a lot. Particularly when you're in the middle of a fight.

He's had that in their since he started compounding (This event will be in Walker character development stuff that I will post over the weekend) so it wouldn't bleed very much. Also, it is a very small vial. I only have a pages worth of steel.

The fact that he’s had it there for a long time isn’t going to effect that fact that he made a 2 inch cut in his wrist, the location of many veins and arteries.

 

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Well, actually, it could because the arm grew around it, it's a very small vial for like 3 uses, and I typed that he cut his wrists on my kindle, so it was a typo. My kindle has a horrible keyboard. He has only the metals from one. I didn't realize I had typed both I said that he cut both wrists until 30 seconds ago, and that was changed

Okay, as I've said to him in real life, I'm not changing, I thought this through. And also, I'm not going to accept the change. If you want to avoid typos, check before you post. This is a duel, it's unfair to change later. That is my ruling, continue the duel at your discretion.

4+7+10 = 21, so wouldn’t he be on 76 HP (if he was on 97 before)?

Also, I don’t think Darth would just fake a typo to reduce damage. I trust he’s telling the truth. If you ever want to change your ruling to what Darth says, I would have no objection. Typos happen.

EDIT: really sorry for the double post. I didn’t realise I already had a post up

Correct, it's:

Walker: 76

Lusk: 83

I (mostly) trust him, but I'm not going to change for a typo, that's just a rule for the entire duel.

Unless you're saying he removed the top layer of skin, placed it under a small layer and then grafted more skin over the top to make an intradermal implant, then no it's still going to bleed.
And if you did that with something as big as a vial (even a small vial is still a vial) and then moved at Steelrunner speeds then the vial is going to tear out of your arm.
As an additional note, if you were going to try to steelrun while your arm is lacerated then you're definitely going to bleed out.

 

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

He already lost his speed. He did that later. Also, I'm mad because he's saying that Walker's bleeding out, and he's not. I typoed! It happens! You have typoed all the time!

 

[Voidus]

Quote

Typos happen, I didn't comment on that at all. My point is just that even a single wrist with a vertical laceration, is going to bleed. If you keep flailing that arm around and elevating your blood rate as is likely to happen in a fight, it is going to bleed a a lot more. If you tap Steel and move at super speeds with a greatly elevated heart rate then you are going to bleed out.
Not passing any judgement and I'm not moderating the duel so this is purely opinion.

 

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Quote

Ark already said that that wrist was cauterized by the bomb pressed against it, so it isn't bleeding anymore.

 

[I think I am here. he/him]

Quote

Yes, Ark’s not counting the bleeding for that wrist (the exploded one). He’s counting the bleeding for the other wrist, because he’s following the typo you made that Walker cut both.

It seems both of you won’t change views. Perhaps you guys can come to a compromise and we can continue the duel?

EDIT: Just so you know, Darth, if Walker gets hit by the Atium cube, then he won’t be bleeding anyway, since it will be transferring him to an age to before he got the cut.

Typo. How ironic. Edit: and other things.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Quote

That was 6-8 years right? Well this will be interesting. The second paragraph is the actual attack, by the way.

Walker felt the Atium cube hit his arm. He went back in time, before his hand was blown up, before he slit his wrist and right around the time his father died. He remembered his master walking across the sands of the desert, explaining to him the politics of the cosmere, and then he remembered a rumbling through the sand. He remembered a massive sanding erupting from the sand. He remembered his master telling him to run, and then turning, his sword drawn against the largest sandling that has ever been seen. He remembered running, as fast as he could away from the sandling, and he remembered the roar as the sandling attacked his master. He remembered the sound the sandling made as it attacked his master, and he remembered being absolutely certain that his master was dead. This was the time before he had forgotten honor, and began a downward spiral that had only been halted  several months after he joined his terrisien ancestors. He remembered this time, as this was when he had been most deadly, with nothing holding him back, with nothing stopping him, with him using every weakness his opponents had.

Walker flipped away, "Whats the matter Lusk? To scared to fight me, man to man, no tricks? No weapons, just you and me? Hand to hand? No weapons?"

It was supposed to be 10-15 years (see the post where I made the attack), but I’m fine with keeping it at 8 years I you want to have a chance to write Walker’s supa-deadly mode.  

The cube pressed Walker’s skin, but before Lusk could do more the youth was up and away, taunting Lusk. The Atium-cube has obviously taken effect, the 23 year old Walker now seemed to be in the middle of his teenage years.

But there was something else, Lusk realised as he inspected the boy. The kid looked more dangerous, more angry, more... loose. His speaking patterns changed too, evidently. Age would do that. The boy speaked of fighting with honour. Lusk somehow doubted the boy’s sincerity.

Luckily, Lusk wasn’t feeling particularly honourable anyway.

Raising his voice, Lusk addressed the Drown kid. “You’d have to be a fool to realise I haven’t used my knife all battle. If anything, you’re the one who’s relying on katana’s to duel.”

But first, to contain some of that rage. Activating two cubes by his sides and throwing them towards Walker, Lusk ran forward, aging his legs to mid-thirties for maximum strength and youngening the rest of of his body for minimum weight. The two cubes were Soothing cubes, and would emit a bubble of heavy Soothing. Lusk hadn’t managed to find a way to pinpoint what emotions to Sooth, so as of now they just generally numbed a person’s brain.

Taking a large leap in the air, Lusk waited till he was above Walker, and instantly sent his whole body to the obese state of 29 years old, becoming huge and fat, plummeting towards Walker.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Walker kicked his katana to his hand, his emotions lessening, allowing him to think clearly. He dodged to the side, and at the same time, using the last of his steel to force his katana upwards, to wards Lusk's solar plexus.

It all depends on Lusk’s age. Like, from age 5 to 12 he would be normal, poetry loving Lusk. He got bullied heavily in school from age 13 to 20. Age 21 - 28 is when he developed his heavy arrogance to be popular, what you’re talking about. Age 29 is when his mom died (=depression). His dad taunted Lusk And did some bad stuff, so from age 30 - 35 Lusk trained exceptionally hard to kill his father. He succeeded, and age 35 to 45 (current) he was working with the Ghostbloods. Ordering people around and not really being in any danger or focused is how Lusk became arrogant and egocentric in those 10 years.

So, it all depends on what age Lusk is at a given point.

Falling towards the Walker kid, Lusk saw as they brought their sword out, forcing their sword upwards. Fumbling through his Harmonium cubes, Lusk eventually came towards an Oracle-cube.

Pressing it he saw all of his futures. He saw every way he could possibly turn in midair, and he saw how his electrum shadows would die if he turned a certain way. Lusk assumed this was the katana.

Following a shadow that survived, Lusk aced through the air, thinning his body to dodge better. He got a large cut on the side of his abdomen, but Lusk immediately aged the wound until the point in the future where it would heal into a scar.

Landing on the ground with pewter-enhanced strength, Lusk turned and used a Lurcher-cube to take the katana from midair into his grasp, charging to Walker for a swing, this time continually changing his appearance and age for maximum confusion.

“My point exactly,” he said. “You spoke of relying on weapons, get you used one yourself.”
