No. Didn't you read what I said? Unless your definition of "huge" is "small because now it's going to ***** me over" there is no way she can move at any speed including normal and get out of the way.

I'll state it again: DODGING IT WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE BOX IS IMPOSSIBLE.

You have to find something else, because dodging it WILL NOT WORK.

She dodged the rock by going right as fast as an elf.


I'm not sure why you think "as fast as an elf" means "superhuman speed." Is that why you always make Annie a half elf? In most fantasy threads I've seen, elves are exceptionally agile but not superhuman, and your character isn't even a full elf.

Annie, page 922
No, I have not tried to get onto my main account since yesterday, I can simply use this one, I don't see any issues.

Whoa what, Annie can summon twisters within an instant? I thought tornadoes form after prolonged stormy conditions and immense changes in temperature in the atmosphere?

Onto page 923,
As Inferi said, Annie has no description how she dodges the boulders raining down upon her. Annie, remember what I said? Show us how Annie does things, don't just tell us. This helps clarify interaction.

I also wonder how Annie, despite being exhausted and wounded, keeps casting an immense plethora of magic seemingly instantly without strain whenever she wants to.

Onto page 924,
I don't know how Annie dodged the rocks, that is the problem, as there is no description how she physically avoids them. She is nearly encased within walls of shadows, there is no room to get out of the way, the rocks will pile over one another as they fall. This is essentially a cave-in. You can dodge some rocks during a cave-in, but you will not be able to escape the cave-in unless you leave the cave. Perhaps Annie can summon vines to protract from the ground, form into a canopy, and hold the boulders up and then push them aside/out the shadow-box. Annie can utilize many forms of magic, I am not sure why she does not use them to protect herself!

Personally, I was trying not to give specific ways of how to do things because most of the time that just gets copy/pasted. That doesn't help anyone, least of all the person doing the copy/pasting. I know that seems a bit mean, but I honestly feel that it makes everyone worse off.

Annie, one thing that you should keep in mind when forming a defense. Doing so takes time, so defending and then immediately doing a bunch of other actions doesn't work well for the flow of time. For example, should you make a defense out of vines, you really won't have time to make an entire stairway of rock and then climb out and then continue the attack. Just take things a step at a time, and it will help things flow much better.

Like I said already, I apologize if I'm seeming mean. I really am trying to help, and I'm not good at explaining things sometimes.

Yeah, that defense is alright. However, I would like to say that you can't lift yourself out of the box on that post because you're giving me no chance to react. Amelia wouldn't just let her rise up out; she'd seal the top of the box. So, if you don't mind, could you take off everything after where she attempts to lift herself out and I'll make a counterpost?
