USH'S MATRIX GAME- The Dojo

(that sucks, getting ass kicked by a guard)

(Hey, I'd rather be blazing away with Uzi's right now...)

I am sure! I'll need a defence. Luckily, you can defend with your gun score.

Unluckily, even that is only 3. Err, that's really not enough!

So I can see... *sigh* Should I not do this until I have retooled my character or something?

(Rex has a MA of 2 and guns of 3?)

(That's just sad...)

Yes indeedy.

Up to you, Rex- you can either re-tool or declare a defence.

(do you need your gun score to shot coppertops?)

i (block) again, and spend two focus to decrease damage if hit (clever fox -2 focus)

Yes, you need gun score to shoot Copptertops on the exact same scale as with Martial Arts.

Fire rolls +1- a hit again. But that two spare focus does Coeus well as he reduces the damage to nothing.

New round! Focus refreshes!

Fire: 13/15/2
Coeus: 11/11/1

Fire's go again... but then Coeus gets one!

"Let's see what this does"
I start twirling my blade form left to right faster and faster and faster (jade emperor 7 focus points) Now I make an incredibly fast whirlwind attack (weapon jade emperor for a total of 13 focus points, blowing it all at once to see the effect)

is that possible...?

Yup- the seven focus one is a "do at the start of the round" thing. Gives him +1 to hit for the round. Gains him an exertion thoygh.

THEN he is doing his triple attack. This is bad, Coeus- three attacks at a base number of 6 coming your way.

BUT. Then all his focus is spent.

OH CRAP! Fire is on 15 wounds. I didn;t quite click that in my head!

Sorry, Fire, m'boy, but you are wounded- that is -1 to all your attacks. So these attacks are at 5s, not 6s.

So, three defences needed from this ALMIGHTY attack!

(why you think I spent that 7 focus 😛)

"HOLY...!!!" well, i will (block) all three times, spending 2 focus for every hit over 2 damage (clever fox)...

Fire's sword is a mere blur, with clash after clash ringing out as you try and keep up with it, Coeus...

Fire gets: 7, 3, 9. Hit, miss, hit.

Blowing four focus will reduce that damage to... two points. But you miss yet another attack, Coeus!

Fire: 0/15/3
Coeus: 7/13/0

Fire to attack again! However, he is all focussed out! Shame he was wounded, else you would have two more damage and be wounded as well now, Coeus.

I trust forward with my sword, aiming to slice Coeus his Throat

(weapon, I assume...)

I really cant afford to lose more turns, so...

I (block) with my sword, plain and simple...

(yep sorry)
