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

Started by SpikeSpiegel87 pages

How lucky is Mors!?

okay...EYE OF THE GRASSHOPPER at the closest one to me.

okie
-waits- for next action

Ok Castor- shame you don't have Eagle Eye but let's see what happens.

Gah- -6 on your shot on the light fittings. Not enough to blast them down!

Then with your attack on the goon... oooh, this is rather hopeful... -1. Not going to go anywhere, sorry. You are just blasting into their cover.

Mors has been quite lucky, but not extremely so- you have over a 50/50 chance of passing each Death Check until you have taken more than twice your strength past 35 in damage- so for Mors, 43 is where things get very hairy.

Ok, Rade, you already got the free attack on you so let's see how this goes! Nice to see you using your feet again. You roll evens. He actually comes close to dodging that, but he does not; you fail to make much impression with the kick itself but his gun is neatly hooked out of his arms by your foot and clatters to the ground...

Which gives us only three of these Elite goons left, one unarmed and one exerted. Poor! Only one fires, and that will be at Ares. He rolls +1- a 14. Oh! So close... oh well.

Ok, guys, carry on...

Okay, I'd like to move out of cover and into close combat with the remaining goons as my owed action...and then attack the goon that is hit for 1 with Lightning Fist.

Defense will be Willow Step.

(and now...I must leave for school.)

A good time to, San, as there is only one in a position to take a bonius attack on you- as there is only one attacker, that Willow Step will become a Basic Dodge instead. He misses- just!

Lightning Fist is not quite the Killer Stroke on Mundanes that it is on named characters; nonethless, I shall treat that as a hit at +7 damage.

You roll +3, for a 17. Definitely a Hit, and a Hit with a Mundane Kiling Power of +3. Ooh, close, but such a shame about his armour... that is a Hit for 3. Nice try; only the armour stopped that being a one hit kill.

damn that armor....ehh, I'll hope that I can actually get back on after school today....

okay....attack: punch (no paths this time)
RAde hurries to stick his fist into the unarmed goon's neck

Oooh, ok, though it may take a few blows to knock through his armour this way. You roll +1 for a 15, which ends up as a Hit for 1. Hmm. On the other hand, this guy is exerted again now from all the dodging!

CALLING ALL EXPERIENCED PLAYERS!

Think you know the system? Laugh with superiority and/or pity when you see others making mistakes? Think it would be nice if you can get more out of things?

Interested in getting your Download Capacity up to 45?

Good! Because I have a new version in the works which I think is better and that I could possibly introduce at the end of the year but I am looking for comments on it from those in the know. Here is it:

http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f41/t22084.html

If you know the system and have played it out, please go have a look, make a character with the new system and tell me if you think it is viable.

Thankyou for your help...

Run over to the nearest goon, Willow Step, Strike of the Snake, and Eye of the fox. Then Dive behind the nearest stove.

OK, I can just hope I get some luck. I'm going to try my combo on Ya again. I'll use JADE EMPEROR'S STANCE with my dodge.

Fire again, 3 bullets each gun.

Ok, let's see, a bonus attack on you, Celsius- which I assume you dodge... doh! It rolled 16, that's still a hit. 6 damage to you, Celsius.

Then you make a Very Fast Strike of the Snake attack! You roll +2, for 16. That is a Hit for 2...

Then you drop your guns, another Very Fast action.

And then you do your Eye of the Fox... +2 is a Hit! You then smash him for another hit for 2.

This assaul rifle has two bursts left.

However, you are now exerted, Celsius.

The good news is, two of the three left are disarmed and one is exerted!

Castor, you open fire. You roll +3, for 14. Still not good enough to get pas that cover, Castor! This really is not a good guns situation for you, without Eagle Eye.

Ok, Cloud, you make your Roaring attack on Ya, who dodges. You roll +1, which gives you a fianl total of 14... gah, sorry, just a miss...

But their return strikes are DISMAL, and you certainly get your Stance in on Ya's -9! You roll +2 and he did not dodge, and that is another hit for 4 damage. You need a bit more muscle is your main problem, Cloud, Oh look, you would have it in V2.0... oooohh...

I thought they couldn't dodge unless they used a focus power

Bugger, I forgot it was 3 powers. You probably didn't want to remind me of that because Ya has enough power for a Block dodge still, which is what he would have done.

Heh- no difference. Whatever Block follow up attack he then used you STILL would have stanced against because he rolled so badly. So the difference is, same before, except Ya wasted focus on a Block he messed up the follow up to. Which is the problem with Blocks- too many places they can go wrong on

(If I cant shoot anythign what am I supposed to do? Because its obviously getting me nowhere fast.)

Err... but you are a better Martial Artist than shot, Castor!

(Its gonna be hard to get up close to anyone with the huge-arse guns they have....)

If you have Natural Order you are safe from the small numbers remaining.
