If you clarified a much greater distance with Kell, he did not share that clarification with me when I discussed my post's contents with him. I was basing my relative distance estimations/judgements based on the intent within your IC post, which has no hard number, but only really refers to being out of reach. Which doesn't take nearly as much as a 15ft leap to accomplish, which means my post makes references assuming anywhere between half that to a third of it. A gross underestimation borne of ignorance, to be sure. That said, I would be fairly certain that you would have landed well before the shot in any case, since my understanding is that the timing involved from Kell's post inferred Cadmooz was already starting to leap back during the rift jump. Leaping back that far, which again I was not made aware of the greater distance, hmm. Checking the rough map for the rough angles involved, Cadmooz wouldn't even be in line for the shot at all without moving to re-engage Aurinko. I.e., if Cadmooz chose to stand still after the leap back, there's absolutely 0% chance the shot would ever hit Cadmooz barring a Rube Goldberg level of ricochets off of the mirrors of Cellar. And as cool as that could be in theory, that'd take awhile and the flechette would clatter to the ground by gravity well before it could make it back from the far side of the Arena in the first place. Must keep a silly trick shot in mind for future years if I ever go with a weightless projectile character. Though I digress... Looking again at the angles and rough positions (the map does not yet include your leap back), if you charge back in on a direct path to re-engage Aurinko, I don't think the shot has a chance of hitting you. Given the height it was fired at, I was never expecting it to even scratch Cadmooz if you did intercept it mind. On the note of the leap back: Hey, Dragonknight? I think Cadmooz would land right behind Autumn based on the map, or rather close to it. Probably relevant for your post in progress given the, what, nearly 8 ft and 450 lb body moving behind you? E: I don't think you'd hit the wall, no, but you'd be closer to it than prior. Pre-leap and pre-rift both Aurinko and Cadmooz were pretty much adjacent to a support pillar after all.
