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

me..me!

You know that that would invite a free attack as you leave the remnants of the brawl, yes?

And, of course, that you have to get it all the way back up North...

yeah..by the way..beofre the round refreshes....use ALL my ramaining focus for shielding 😉

Noted!

I believe we are now waiting for:

Heph
Virus (much Virus!)
Ares (needs to re-select his targets)
Cloud (Coeus' last hope?)

I'm a last hope...oh no we're all doomed!!!!
Is there any way I can do a horizontal dodge to get me to the flag quicker?

Who had the sword?

Rade does.

Nothing will get you to the flag particularly more quickly than any other way, Cloud (else everyone would just do it). You have to go through the door into the toom.

So, will you go for it now, or try and hit someone?

Hmmm, I'll go for it. If they get the flag then they have to go all the way back through the big room to the other side of the building right? Am I the only one on my team left?

No, Ares is up but only because no-one has paid attention to him. He is not built for close combat.

Cloud leaps through the door! Heph's turn for a free attack, I think- kick, I have decided.

Uh-oh. Heph rolls +3. And he is not even wounded. With the +2 to hit a fleeing opponent, -1 for a kick, that is a 19, to Cloud's 13.

Wow, that was a GOOD blow from Heph! Ten damage! As you move to go through the door, Cloud, Heph darts in with the most almighty roundhouse kick to your head!

36 damage in total and a death check for you, Cloud. +5. you pass, just about stumbling into the room!

You can pick up the flag next action, but you are not well! Double wounded.

I am going to take Virus' actions- she unloads the last of her ammo at Ares, who performs Natural Order to get out of the way. Then she closes for combat- though that still leaves her an action spare!

I'll therefore make Ares' attack on Virus legal, so he can fire... 2 bursts at Heph, and one each at Rade and Heph. But that only causes a spectacular cacophony of acrobatic dodging as you ALL perform Natural Order, as I believe you all asked for in advance!

STATE OF PLAY AT START OF: Sixth round, fourth action

Room 2

South Side Lower:
Virus 7/21/4
Ares 3/24/0
Hephaestus 13/7/0
Rade 4/26/1

Room 3
Cloud 5/36/1

FLAG

CURRENTLY OWED ACTIONS: Virus (1), Heph (1)

CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN FIGHTS (and hence unable to take non-combat actions until they win or Flee): All except Cloud

Ok, this turn, Cloud picks up the flag. Ares has to reload!

Rade breaks off combat to run through the door- giving Ares a shot at him. Ares rolls +1 with a standard 3 burst attack. That's an 18, and a hit! Rade takes 8 damage, but that becomes 4 due to his order to Shielded in Life any damage he takes! Nonetheless, that is enough to wound you again Rade. You come into room 3 just as Cloud picks up the flag.

Virus and Heph, you both have two actions to take if you wish. Could be bad for Ares.

Virus, you are all out of ammo, so time to get handy with your limbs!

okie virus and hep get ares
Rade get CLOUD

*looks around*
"Oh s**t, this is not good."
I'll stumble towards the door if you don't mind, and WILLOW STEP for defense.

rade empties the remainder of his clip into cloud.
(i don't think i have enough for 3 bursts)
next action: switch to deagle

Why can't everybody just not shoot me? 😛

Do I just have to get through the door with this flag, or get to some point?

you have to stay right there and don't move.
rade even adds a
"sit still!"
to his shot 😛

I know...could I just throw the flag to the point?

throw it to me, actually....

Ummm...are you on my team? I don't know who's on my team 😮
