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

Or just keep them banked up antil saterday afternoon/evening

I can do that too, no biggie.

If I use GIFT OF THE EMPEROR do I have to pick my sword up straight away or can I fight hand to hand in the meantime?

For my attack I'll attack Go-Go boy #2 (Go-Ya) with WATER WEAPON and ROAR OF THE JADE EMPEROR.

And JADE EMPEROR'S STANCE for my defense again.

And if I can I'll throw HANDS WITHOUT SHADOW into that combo too.

Wowsa! Yes, you can Water Weapon/ROTJE/Hands Without Shadow, yup! One of the very few times you CAN do such a thing (techically because Water Weapon is really a Very Fast action you do BEFORE the other two).

You can leave the sword behind after a Gift, yes. Only works on Mundanes though, remember.

Go-Ya dodges with a Learned Tutors Block. Cloud, you roll with a -2... uh-oh! That gives you a 13. Go-Ya's defence improves to 15... you are Blocked again!

Go-Yu punches at yuo whilst you are blocvked. But Ya performs a Super Flash hand (a very fast Punch) and follows that with a Double Scorpion Hand (a punch with five bonus damage) as he quickly twists your arm away and takes advantage of his Block!

That's three attacks coming your way, Cloud. Which one did you want to Stance against?

okay...i spring out of cover with a vertical dodge and fire 2 bursts (or 3 if i have enough) one for each.....the goons at the east side of the bar.

oh, and the move is towards them..i wanna get close combat with these guyz

Bwah-Wah-fea-sa-gwah
Errr Super Flash hand, and err, block the other two. I'm in trouble how much hp do these guys have?

Same as you, Cloud!

Ok, let's see here. Go-Ya's attack rolls -2, for an 11. Feeble! Even whilst blocked, you manage to hook your sword around for a reflex attack.

Doh! You roll -4, and it misses!

And now I think about it, he canot do the second move he wnated as you are no longer blocked. Silly me! He just does a standard punch instead.

He rolls +2 for 15. A hit! His second rapid follow up blow to his ounch hits you for 3 damage. Lucky I realised the original strike was illegal or that would have been eight damage!

Go-Yu's Kick JUST missed you, Cloud... close one!

I LIKE Blocking... heh.

Yup, I think you can fire another three bursts before reloading, Rade. An you are CERTAINLY not fazed by the cover! Umm... sorry, I am snure how many targets you meant. Did you mean one burst at each?

2 bursts each at two of the guys at the east tables. Defense stands as being Willow Step.

(and I think I'm gonna kill my brother...when we were outside of school he said that he came on here during school and that I had died.)

alright, (water weapom) and (awesome downpour)

defense - (defend), if i get hit, use up to four focus with (sheilded in life)

Heheheh... brothers...

San, you roll evens aand plus two, giving you 10 and 12- that cover is still a problem for you. That is just one guy Hit for 1, I am afraid!

Coeus, you flash into action...

You roll -1, for a 14. That's a Hit for 3 on both... oooh, just short I am afraid!

I shall just give a little bit for Burn to maybe post ad then move on.

sorry some of us have school,
damn clip,
3 shots, one on teh guy who hit me, then on two other close unhits.
(Sounds like something I would do to my sister TM!)

yeah...damn school...I just got home about 15 minutes ago myself. And I was about to wring his damned neck...somethings you just don't screw with me about!

Ok Burn, under the new rules that just takes your action, no exertion. Your Eagle Eye also totally negatesd that cover. Yay!

You roll: Evens. With a total Mundane Killing Power of +4, that's a kill! Boom!

Then: +4. Boom!

Then: Click! Darn it- empty!

ok then,
can i make that shot a very fast, then take my normal trun to reload, then put my second very fast after the main turn and fire again?

Ok, let's move things on... I shall assume that Rade did indeed mean one burst at each guy. Rade rolls +4, +11, -1. Good shooting, sir! That is 15, 22, 10. One miss, but also one Hit for 4 and one DEFINITE kill! His banked action is used to Reload. Final clip, Rade...

Zuban strikes back at Heph. Uh-oh! A +4 is a 17. Heph, you are hit! Zuban smash! That's 13 damage from Zuban's mace! Any chance you want to Shield some of that damage, Heph?

As Ares only used one of the 3 Very Fast actions he could have taken, he actually now loses two exertion. Nice!

Ok, eight shooters down below fire one attack at everyone save Barbarossa. Your Willow Steps therefore become mucvh simpler dodges.

Astonishingly crap shooting! They all miss!

Heh, crap shooting from the bad guys is good for us ^_^

You took 3 very fast actions that turn, Burn. Just the third one was illegal and so wasted, sorry!

Celsius is banked- he fires again.

Celsius rolls -6, -3, evens. Off form, old boy! that gives you 4, 7, 10- all misses again! You are firing not enough bursts at too many targets.

Cloud, as you are exerted, you just receive a punch and a kick again.

Heph and Mors, standard Mace and Knife attacks coming your way...
