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

Cloud, I think you are one of the very few people who took the Crouching Monk path.

So you can dodge whilst Prone! Yay!

After my next attack I'll be exerted, I can dodge the next attack hopefully but these guys are tough...and theres two of them. But then again "As long as I have a breath in my body I will not give up"

They are only skill 13, so it could be worse.

No-one has fought against people who Block before, though, so this is a learning curve...

Sorry I just wanted to say that

Heheheh...

*i pull out my cell and call Ariadne* "Ariadne, whats going on up there? where is the greatest need?"

"Operator..."

You hear Ariadne frantically typing away

"Ni Zhan's powering up an escape helicopter now. Heph, Mors and Cloud are all tied down fighting... I can't tell if they are going to be ok or not. You have a load of guys waiting for you on the floor above! Some more are moving in with assault rifles. You need to get arorss the second floor to the stairs up beyond the restaurant!"

Rade also calls the operator.
"where am i needed" he also asks?

She'll give you the same info.

Ok, Mors, Celsius, Barbarossa, San and Castor need to go here:

For work on their Oracle predictions.

I may want to talk to other players about tweaking theirs in future as well!

"I suggest we get moving, Coeus," Ares says, making his way up to the restaurant to help Fire and San.

We're waiting for San, Heph and Mors at this point

Than rade starts heading upwards, as directed

Mors blocks with his sword as a defence.

Mors then attacks with a slash at the Knifeman's left forearm, but feints it and spins around to drive his sword through the Knifeman's shoulder, and spin him around by pulling it out.

Ok, the two of you strike!

First blow most certainly to Mors- you roll evens and he rolls -4. You knock his blow aside and slash him across the front with your own, for 5 damage.

Heph throws himself to the side and backwards as a dodge, and then uses Sweep of the Grasshopper.

He throws his staff aside, seeing it's uselessness.

Ok, Heph, you throw yourself down and kick out as Zuban smashes...

Eek! You roll -6. Not going to help! Zuban rolls evens. SMASH! goes the mace down by your side, almost amashing through the floor...

Haha, Heph...

Ok, I am going to assume that San goes for cover as well as Fire... that means you both have 3 points of cover against 3 of the 6 attacks each that they now get.

Ok, luck is with you! You are boht only hit once, Fire for 7, San for 5. Unfortunately, Fire, a bullet to your left shoulder means you are now wounded...

Burn and Ares, you are now upstairs!

End of round, focus refreshes...

Coming up this round are: Rade and Coeus.

Heph, Mors and Cloud are all under attack of course (but remember that YOU attack first!). Heph, Zuban tries another side-swipe with the uber-mace. You are unarmed now- I hope you know what you are doing!

Mors, the irritated knifeman tries a flick upwards to your face.

Cloud, the Go Twins move to either side of you. Yu aims a kick at you whilst on the ground, whilst Ya makes a drop-Punch. Your action is to get up, but if you want to post any special defences, feel free. Please don;t make any illegal on-ground dodges though...

Ares fires two bursts, one each at two guys at the fish tanks.

Ok! You roll +7... VERY dead... and -1, which becomes 12. A Hit for 3, and very mcuh still alive that one, Ares! Still, that's one exertion gained. Care to fire again?
