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

well maybe you guys like Personalised Orders so here it goes:

Burn: GET THAT GUNNER (Since you have BEST EAGLE EYE: THAT GUY NEEDS TO GO ASAP)
Ares: Do your magic baby, shoot as many as you can
Hep: You should be able to get in close with your shield of life power
Castor: No idea what you can do there really, tho with the armour and the 5 points of cover I think you should try to sneak up past there cover and shoot them from a better position, or engage in Melee. BUT DONT RUSH IN
San: Same as Castor, I don't think you're gonna hit a lot from that position, so maybe trying to sneak past there cover and shoot from a better position, or engage them in Melee Combat, you do have a bit better defence against guns than Castor tho.

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, While Burn takes out the gunner
the others CLEAR THE SAME BARRICADE, work your way up, but Ares don't start firing at the last barricade, keep your efforts concentrated.

Rade if you need a blade I can give you mine, you're in far better condition to fight

It is worth noting that the roof is an open position and the ONLY cover is that listed. So sneaking past in cover of your own is not an option.

I should also say that anyone who wants to NOT engage on the roof can stay just inside the stairwell and be completely out of the line of fire. It will provide 100% cover. The five points it is worth comes into play only if you are shooting at bad guys from it.

Also, a Vertical Dodge is not possible whilst moving because the only vertical surfaces are the same things that are being used for cover. But sufficiently acrobatic manoeucres may be rewarded with a defensive bonus...

hmm well then, I still believe San and Castor have a very small chance to actualy hit one of those guards while standing at their current location.
So if they want to get involved in the fight they will still need to get up close

There are knives and the odd +3 damage weapon around though.

Also... if you are firing from the stairwell, please say if you are shooting from behind the left or right side of it. Because only the Goons on the half you are firing from can fire back (so if you are on the left, the right side Goons will not be able to shoot you and on the right the left ones cannot. The centre goons can see you regardless).

Oh great I get KO'd while I'm away doing some last minute Christmas shopping. Ah well, at least I don't have to worry about a big helicopter.

When I am Able to,
4 burst at the guy on the machine gun
(good unuf for u fire?)

(sounds ok I hope you gets him)

Okay...I'm going to move into close combat (since I don't think me shooting will do much damage right now) with the guys behind the right barricade of the first set.

Willow Step for defense.

(Burn, please try and get rid of that damn gunner soon! Make life easier for everyone, ne?)

I'm shooting as much as is advantagous for me,
o!
if i dont kill him, ima gonna shoot him again with 3 burst using a very fast!
har har har!
(I might not be on as much 'till the end of the year because im on vacation at my grandmothers and doin stuff)

Ahh, well have fun while you're on vacation ^_^ I just started winter break yesterday, so no school for me = more time on the computer!

yup me too,
I got outta school, packed, jumped on a red eye and flew cross country,
Ijust arrived about an hour ago.
for the past 12 hours i've been either flying or preparing to fly

Wowsa. And here's been me in my bedroom since I opened the RP section.

Anyhoo, your shot, Burn. Your bursts are negated by his cover and he still gets one point of armour against you as well You roll a -1. So that 14 is reduced to 13 and he dodged- a Hit for 1.

You fire again, a -3. No effect. We have a severe bullet wastage problem here. You also did not specify which side you were shooting from so you will be a target for everyone.

Ok, San, without anything fancy to aid you you will not be able to attack your opponents this action AND they will get their free shots on you AND a lot of others will fire at you as well. I hate to give direct advice in game but are you sure a straight charge out there is a good idea?

ok, what just hppened, i hit him for a 1 damage,
WHY??
how much cover does he have,
and i'm assuming its too late so specify which side huh?

Seven points of cover and three points of armour.

You can specify which side now. Mind you, with five points of cover of your own you would be unlucky to be hit.

Ares charges in to get past their cover, firing six bursts at two of the elite goons.

oh, ok, so basicly i rolled terrible and that caused the lousy hits.
I'll go to the left, and i still have 5 covers points right? willow stepper for defence

Well, you have made worse rolls, Burn, just that that guy is exceptionally difficult to shoot, being behind a solid steel plate with only a small slit for you to shoot through.

Just to confirm, Ares, you are breaking out of cover and running forwards? Could you tell me, if so, which two barricades you plan to run between?

Well...erm...closest to the helicopter? Too far away right?
