USH'S MATRIX GAME: SECOND ASSIGNMENT: 'Ghost Hunt'

Just the entry area.

Ok, Ares, off you go. Planning to fire or reload whilst going?

I'll empty my clip at them and THEN reload. How many shots do I have left?

im not exerted out anymore,
and i feel like taking out the entry too,
*watches were ares is goin*
Fires 3 shots at the guys opposite where ares is firing

Ok. The reload will have to come next turn though, as this is your third move.

One good shot out of that lot, Ares, blows another one of those guys away!

Looking much better in here now folks! I knew Burn and Ares would clean up...

Of course, we're the Coppertop Killing Masters! 😈

"I'm going after Ni Zahn! Take care!" Heph says, opening the trap door with his staff and dropping down. He pulls out his knives.

A Breath of the Dragon-powered slash at the chain-wielder's shoulder, to literally disarm him.

Jade Emperor's Stance as defence.

*bows in real life, not in the matrix*
yup!

(psst rex, check the pkm combat forum)

Ok, Heph, with your banked move, you chase Ni Zhan- but that damn trapdoor won;t open and you don't have time to mess around. You head out. You emerge from the office into a room with three doors, North, West and East.

Technically four doors- south is back the way you came. And also the stairs down. You get a call from Ariadne.

"Ok, we got a shit storm going on downstairs," she says. "But nevermind that. Find the stairs up! Ni Zhan has a helicopter on the roof, and he is our only lead! The stairs are nearby..." she says vaguely, befoe hanging up again.

Pick a door, Heph...

Mors, you roll evens, but Breath of the Dragon takes that to 17, and as well all knwo, that is enough to hack the guy Out... and as requested, you take his arm off which, propelled by the motion of the chain, flies across the room...

hmm...we are getting creative in how we kill these badguys, huh?

Hey, why not? Heph is a MA master, basically, and he just worked the guys buggin him with that staff. And Mors is good with that sword...

can i shoot yet?

No. 😛

Ok, after that mass slaughter, time for my few remaining goons to act!

Downstairs, we have 8 goons and 4 targets. Two attacks on each!

Coeus, for no apparent reason, is missed again. SOmrthing you aren;t telling me, Coeus?

The other shots all tear into the cover of the other guys, and Fiure gets a break and is misses as well.

The two outside fire at Barbarossa... ah! One misses ONLY becxause of youe Willow Step there! Good going...

Upstairs...

Mors- ooh! Your opponent rolls +4 for a 14, which WOULD be ahit but for the +1 Jade Emperor Stance givesd you- neat! He misses, you catch the cudgel with the sword, and strike back!

You roll -1, for a 13, but he doesn't dodge as that would exert him, and combined with the damage Heph did earlier, he is dead! And you are clear now too.

Ok folks, I think you are about to deal out some serious harm...

It certainly is making this much more fun to see arms flying across the room when a guy dies ^_^

Staff is a very good anti-mundane weapon. if Heph was a Lone Bamboo Master, he could use the power that would have attacked ALL his mundane opponents at once. Ow!

Burn, you can shoot now!

San, as west is all clear, do you wish to shoot at the entryway instead?

Kill em all!

I'm going for Cover

So noted! I can wipe out your banked actions and also reset your exertion Fire, if that would suit you.

yeah, let's shoot those guys in the entry ^_^

nah keep the banked actions, I might still need em later, should they fail to kill em all
