USH'S MATRIX GAME- TRAINING MISSION- Capture the Flag

Willow Step noted. Bon chance, Coeus- looks like people are out for your blood! Might even work to your advantage though- you are tying down a lot of Fire's team. We shall see how things go!

Gah! Good shot from Virus, I am afraid- she rolls evens but the Burst Fire is enough to make that a hit, and six damage to you, Coeus.

Flying Sword a bit mean, Rade! (giggles). Ok, you roll evens. Hmm, as you fly towards him, he twists out the way and your blow lands just short of killing him... but I shall make that the one that Cloud just shot, and that is definitely enough to Out him!

Then, you run up along the wall for your Vertical Kick. That will take place next action, this action is the run. (You can move on those Vertical Kick runs, btw...)

NOTE FOR ALL: Could all those planning to go on Assignments- especially those who want the Philosophy Path, but really for all of you- please read this thread!

OK I'll PRODIGIOUS LEAP to the North Balcolny. Can you use a guy as a human shield?

In theory yes, but you need to be able to Hold him (Passive Wings Path)

Up you go, Cloud! That's your action. Good timing- when the SWATs up there won't fire back!

Ok, I believe we are now only waiting for Fire, Mors (attack AND defence) and Ares (also attack AND defence). I may move things on and bank those, soon.

Passive Wings? Oh, that's got to be the only path I didn't choose. What about a KO'd guy?

That's possible. You have a bullet-ridden corpse right here.

I'll keep that in mind 😄

can you shoot during a vetical dodge?
like trinity does in revo

A Vertical Dodge is a defensive action (that can also move you), so it woul not impair your action to fire at all! So if you fire in an action and Vertical dodge to defend yourself in the same action that is exactly what you are doing.

Ok, that's enough time, let's move things on.

To be fair on Ares, I will have him make a Natural Order dodge against YOUR gunfire, Virus, so your attack misses.

I'll make my assumed attack for Mors again- thanks to the +1 to hit from Hand, that JUST hits you, Coeus! 4 damage, which you can reduce to none at all if you Tail of the Fox.

Ok everyone, we're clear to move! Some of you are pretty badly hit now, and are wearing down. But don't be downhearted if you get taken out- the important point is that this has been a learning experience!

Coeus, meanwhile, is beset by THREE players! I hope his team is taking advantage of this whilst they can, because that's three people not bothering the rest of you!

Looks like everyone has something to do except Castor, who seems to have run out of nearby opponents!

lalala...

Everything ok, Phoe? Virus can act, y'know!

yeh, just waitin' to see if Fire wants me to do anything spcific...

I can't spell today for some reason...

Meh, welcome to my world!

😄 Who cares about spelling anyways? Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers to ever live, and he couldn't even spell his own name!

If the guys on the balcony are in a row could I just kick the first one into the others and cause them to topple over?
