 '''Rules area:''' Flurries, movement
-A question regarding movement actions within flurries came up during [[TrialBySchmendrickRulings/MovementInFlurries/SnakeVsWingedSerpent]]. The situation is that two combatants are separated by some number of yards, call it 17. Combatant A declares a flurry containing a Dash action as well as a hand-to-hand attack against Combatant B. Based on the dash rules and traits of Combatant A, A can dash, say, 8 yards per tick. Since A must close the distance before he can attack, the questions are:

 * How does the timing of this work? Do three ticks pass with A closing 8 yards each, then the attack is resolved?

-Excellent summation. To add to it, the solution which we are currently using in [[TrialBySchmendrickRulings/MovementInFlurries/SnakeVsWingedSerpent]] is that the attacks are resolved on the first tick it is possible to resolve them, if it remains possible. This solution is working due to simplicity. - [[IanPrice]]

 Why not post on the WW forums?  Neph did create the flurry rules, and he's commented on them in the past. <br>--[[DarkWolff]]

	:Question: do you have any thoughts about the core question of this page, ie, "can you move for several ticks of your flurry's speed, THEN resolve the attacks in the flurry?" You haven't said anything about this specifically. - IanPrice		:Question: do you have any thoughts about the core question of this page, ie, "can you move for several ticks of your flurry's speed, THEN resolve the attacks in the flurry?"

		+	::No, I don't think you can. Reasoning: when your tick to act comes up, the rules say you ''must'' take an action. Waiting itself is an action (Guard & Aim). Why would they include interruptible actions which do nothing except pass the time and allow you basic reflexive movement if they intended the actual resolution tick of any action to take place at a variable time within its speed?
		+
		+	::Furthermore, the text under '''Step Two: Actions''' (pg 141) reads: "Once a character takes her first action in combat, she must wait a umber of ticks equal to the ''Speed'' rating of her action before she acts again." Thus, Speed is a measure of the number of ticks after an action is taken the character must wait before acting again. I assert that that 'taking an action' means rolling or otherwise resolving it, although the text does not explicitly say this. However, with this assertation it follows that any and all actions having a speed take place and are resolved on a single tick, which is then followed by a delay as measured by the speed of that action. Once this delay is over, the character ''must'' act again.
