USH'S MATRIX GAME- The Dojo

No weapon melee, I designed her so that she'd fight unarmed in close combat.

Oooh, okidokey... well, you guys tell me when you are ready!

Ush...can I fight some cops ?

Yup. Chose how many and in what situation.

Ok.. so... I've just robbed a bank and managed to get down into an old abandoned metro station, BUT, I was followed there by 4 guys in a patrol car who thought something was suspicious..does this qualify ?

Sure does! In a metro station is a somewhat confined environment, and unless you go onto the tracks there is only a veritcla surface on one side.

What are you armed with?

My fists actually 🙂

Neat... if you do not mind, I'll kick this off tomorrow once I have finished doing all the rules work for Matrix and LOTR I am doing today.

Ok, sure thing Ush!

hey...how about that fight, ush...

Ooops! Was it you vs. Rusky? I know Daedalus is spoiling for something as well...

Ok, I really WILL kick this off- this will be using the v2.5 rules, ok, Dexx?

blimey!...didn't get a chance to run that through yet 😄..yeah sure...i'll have Rade ready till tonight

Well, it is no great panic, as Rusky is learning the system from scratch, yeah?

Ok, in that case, it is the first turn of the first round.

Rade: 10/0/-3

Rusky: 15/0/-1

That final number being your exertion, this means that Rade is next to act as he has the lowest exertion number.

(done, with the 2.5 version)
okay..let's start with a ...jump of the grasshopper 🙂

Ok, now, as a three-exertion action, that takes your exertion to zero. You won;t be done with your turn until it reaches 3.

Rusky, you have a Trinity Kick coming your way! If you so wish, you may take a Defensive Action to improve your chances of getting out the way- check your options in the combat reference thread (ignore the rules themselves, they are out of date- just look at the moves)

(you mean i can still make a move, untill my exertion reaches 3?)

Yup. But we'll need Rusky's reaction first, still.

Wise Master's Block on that attack, if it misses I assume rade is blocked even if he still has exertion right ? so that'll be a Seven Shaolin Flip on him. GoGoGO 😄

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...

One problem, Rusky. Assuming you block Rade, you would end up on the same exertion as him. As he has the higher Speed, Rade would go first again, and as soon as he atacks you lose the Block.

Ok, Rade rolls -2... for a 13. Rusky's defence was 17! Rade leaps gracefully up into the air... but Rusky ctaches and twists Rade's foot, and as he lands Rade is in a very inconvenient position with Rusky having Blocked him.

However, as I predicted. You are both now on zero exertion. Rade has the higher speed, and attacks again now. As soon as Rade attacks, Rusky, you lose the block. You will note there are some Block powers that can be used on the Defensive for precisely this situation, though.

Your move, Rade.

aha...that'll be an Angry Tutor Rebuke I guess..
