Still with the Vanish issues. 12/28/2018 04:46 AM CST

So I'm still seeing some strange stuff with Vanish.
Also
I was grappled by someone, and I put Vanish up. So that should have put me back out of combat, but I was not going to inviso via silence. I dropped vanish after I activated it because I wanted to re-engage him, but Silence was trying to pulse and put me into inviso but I was still failing it, cause I was still grappled. Also you will see from the log, that silence was failing, but I was able to hide at one point.



The only thing I can think of... as to why Vanish didn't work... was because I dropped it to fast? befor it could pulse? maybe?



Anyway here is the basic of the log....



R> khri start sil
Turning inwards, you find the still silent spot within you. Focusing on that point, you allow the silence to spread gently through your body and then out into the world, until you fade away from the world itself.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
R>
You're grappled and unable to focus on the silence within.

You're grappled and unable to focus on the silence within.
>
You're grappled and unable to focus on the silence within.
> khri start van
Tapping into the well of mental power within, you focus on a world without your presence in it. Through determined concentration, you achieve a limited subversion of reality, becoming unseen and removed from danger.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
IR>

You attempt to relax your mind from some of its meditative states.

You melt into the background, convinced that your attempt to hide went unobserved.

Marssi jumps back, looking startled!

> 'get out of town Filth
You say, "Get out of town Filth."
> retreat

I could not find what you were referring to.
You are unable to break Totenus's grip and can't retreat!

>
You're grappled and unable to focus on the silence within.
> khri start van
You have not recovered from your previous use of the Vanish meditation




The messageing of Vanish states that I did remove myself from engagements, but yet still I was in a grapple.


I know you have said that all this is wonky.... but this khri is extremely important.... especially in PvP. Be great if I can get an explanation, or it looked at.


Thanks buddy.

I think this is working as intended in the way disengagement mechanics do normally. You can't overcome Totenus' Brawling to break free, so even when you Vanish he's grappling you.

Just because you're suddenly invisible doesn't mean someone who has you locked in a grapple is going to automatically let go.

Unless realism is suddenly not a binding constraint in how NMU abilities work, in which case...

The messaging says different, and its done it every other time.


Tapping into the well of mental power within, you focus on a world without your presence in it. Through determined concentration, you achieve a limited subversion of reality, becoming unseen and removed from danger.

It is my understanding that it does disengage you. That is how the khri is set up.

Grappling doesn't work with the normal disengagement mechanics, though.

You have to defeat the grapple first in order to disengage.

A torrent of sizzling, bile-green acid sprays outward from Totenus!
You manage to get out of the way of the sizzling wave of acid.
"Burn him! Burn him!" You hear the cries echo around you as everyone in the vicinity immediately gives Totenus a wide berth!
