Ok, Ares, that is a fast attack as you have Coppertop Killer, so you lose an exertion. You ignore the cover, but only half their armour.
You roll evens, +1 for the two bursts is 16, minus one point of armour is 15, but pluses for the calibre of the M16 and the Master Coppertop Killer, takes it up past the 17 you needed for a kill, and the SWAT guy is blown away!
Good shooting, Ares...
And a defence?
Ok, Castor, you shoot at the nearest SWAT guy. BGB will help you bring them down as your small calibre weapon is not 100% suited to their armour, but at that level your shot will be a little inaccurate.
You roll +6! Good shot, but the cover and armour of your target is a pain. Cover is minus 3, BGB at basic is another -2, makes your final total 14. The cop is Hit, but his armour takes most of the blow and he is not Out. That Cover and Armour is a big problem for you, Castor!
(Remember to specify how many bullets you fire, Castor! I assumed 3 from each).
*Trying to take out the leader are we ey? HDM you sneaky Bastard 😛*
as a defence action to Coeus his shotgun I use shell of the turtle
after I have dodged the shot I rush over towards Coeus and make a lightning fast Jab (hand of the emperor) at him boosting the damage with bite of the dragon
(-8 focus in total)
[DUNNO if this is possible but should it be possible I'd like to use Tiger stance should coeus hit, but I doubt it'll work cause we ain't in melee combat yet]
No, what actually happens is that Coeus is firing at you in an action you are moving to attack him close up- which gives him a bonus to hit (if you want to wait until after he fires, you simply have to wait until next action, when he will fire again- unless he has to reload, there is no way you can run him down and him not fire as you do so). Then you get your attack on him. You can't use Tiger Stance as, indeed, Coeus won't be making a close combat strike on you this action.
Is that what you want, Fire? It'll certainly put Coeus in a muddle as he is facing you point blank with a shotgun rather than sword. But he might blast you first.
Either way, I'll have to sort it out tomorrow, as I need an earlier night than normal! Been fun, guys, see ya...
Just the one burst, Cloud? Remember, you can fire up to six, splitting them between targets as you like, though no more than four on one target (and multiple targets are harder to hit)
Hmm. Shooting skill not your strong point, Cloud! I am afraid your attack goes nowhere.
Mors, I am afraid your attack migh be fast, but running to where Coeus is is not, so you don't lose the exertion. Which means you will lose an action if you dodge, but you have a banked action to lose anyway.
Ok, Coeus, you fire. You get +3, a good shot, with another plus two bonus, but you really are not skilled enough at shooting! Fire's twirly dodge keeps him from harm.
Which leaves Mors and Fire striking at Coeus. Coeus, that will need two defences from you. However, as I need to move things on, you can set your defence NEXT action and I will tell you guys what happened then.
Heph could have great difficulty kicking anything, Mors. He's not next to anyone. I had best impress upon people the importance of reading the updates!
Ok, the SWAT team fires, without prejudice... 14 attacks, ten people. One on each, and bonus shots on Burn, Castor, Cloud and one of the Fire/Mors/Coeus combatants... dice say: Coeus.
A lot of people did not post defences! Could be nasty...
Cloud, you seriously need some sort of defensive solution, you are not proving hard to hit! The first burst at you hits, for 8 points of damage! The second JUST misses!
Castor- you are more fortunate
Burn, Willow Step saves you from a hit...
And Mors, a bullet pases through your arm. You have just taken another eight damage, and that makes you wounded, at -1 to all attacks. This will not count the attack you just made on Coeus, though.

People should note the following:
The SWAT team is about to fire again. It COULD have been., that round, that one or two people would have been 'killed' by them. So you should be aware of this small problem!
A three-way Veteran fight has started, with Fire and Mors squaring off against Coeus! May I remind all three combatants that now you are joined in combat, you may ONLY take combat actions! If you want to be able to move, or shoot at SWAT guys, or any such thing, you must successfully Flee first.
Burn is standing next to Virus and Heph. Could be a bit of a fight there...
Obviously, the SWAT guys are about to fire again. I need actions from everyone- INCLUDING defensive ones!
I know Coeus; action THIS round will be swapping his shotgun for his sword. However, we still need your defences from the round before, Coeus. If this action goes on for 24 hours without a defence posted by Coeus he will attempt straight Defends.
Of course, Mors and Fire can try and hit Coeus THIS action as well...
If any of you are in doubt of what to do, please ask me or your team captain. Make sure you keep a good idea of where you are in the room as well!
