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

OKIE GUYS LISTEN UP, Castor no idea what you're gonna do there but do Something, SAN, CELSIUS and RADE KEEP SHOOTING

You 3 all have Storm Turtle Advanced, which means you can all use SHIELD of Life, You all have guns, So all you need to spend your focus on is dodging and Reducing DAMAGE.

Also Coeus, if you feel up to it, go help out Mors, he needs help you have quite some defencive skills

Ok, I forgot to do Yu and Ya's attacks on Cloud last round... the Kick rolls evens and misses, but Yu's punch rolls +2 and hits- for another three damage to Cloud! That's an important blow, Cloud- it cracks something in your face, and you are now wounded.

This action, then, Ya dodges your Jump. You roll -2; no good, I am afraid! They both strike back at you... Yu NEARLY hits you with a Kick, but misses by a hair's breadth!

Ok, the bad guys open fire on those in the Kitchen, two attacks on each.

Coeus, your luck still holds as bullets ping off the trolley you are behind... Rade is more considerably missed.

Castor is less lucky. These guys are quite good. +3 from one of them makes the final total 16, which hits you by one despite your cover. That is a hit for nine damage. Eeek... good job there are not many of these guys!

At this point, San and Celsius enter the Kitchen

Ok, act away, guys...

That still looks doable

SO CEL, SAN, RADE FIRE

Okay, I'm going to first take some cover behind whatever the hell I can, and then start firing away...(eek I'm on my last clips...) so...4 bursts at one of the goons.

well euhm how shall I put this ush just pointed out that that's a very impossible shot TM, sorry I'm too tired to give much great tactical advice

I realize that...I have to do SOMETHING other than just sit there with two loaded guns though!

Cutting it close, literally...

Whirlwind Blade Assault again, let's hope I get lucky...

Then I'll dodge.

True, I'm still thinking of another way tho

I'm not really sure that was a good idea, Mors, WBO being Predictable and all.

Knifeman will dodge that, heck yes! That exerts him, so no attack from him this turn.

You roll a +1, for a final total of 15, as your WBO got -2 to hit for repeated use. Knifeman's dodge took him to 15 as well, so that is a hit for 4- which wounds the Knifeman! Yay! Now things look a little better.

Both of you twirl your weapons- the next exchange of blows will be the last...

Well Coeus if you have any idea's how to solve that mess than please, do, I think Rade is about the only one able to actualy do damage with his gun in there.

So I think we need melee combat for the others, which could be dangerous

Yeah, especially if you're like me and haven't done any actual close-combat yet...

(I want to use Water Weapon, but I'm not sure how that works...)

It's simple. Take a Very Fast action to make your next attack with a weapon get +1 to hit.

TM, the problem is that you are not built for a frontal gun assault on armoured guys in cover. You'll need a better tactic than that.

okay, then totally ignore what I said earlier while I try to work out a tactic that won't involve me getting killed...

Okidokey... though you wasting bullets is the more likely downside.

i got one, gimme ur gun and let me and ares work!

Well, don't completely ignore what I said, I still want to take cover behind whatever I can. But I'm not just going to jump into close combat with 6 armed guys in body armor unless I have someone backing me up and I have some sort of plan worked out.

...and wasting bullets really wouldn't be a good idea right now anyway since I'm down to my last clips...

And, um, Burn? You're not even in the kitchen, so even if I was willing to give up a gun, how exactly would I get it to you? 😛

A collected tactical plan might b a superb idea...

Swords would make a wonder in that plan, TM...just a thought *coughFireCoeus*
