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

okie lemme see can I use my banked action to grab my sword and my other action to nail that last standing guy, I'm going for the whirlwind assault, if I hit hiim using gift of the emperor again (-5 focus)
a normal dodge will do, unless I can still pay for a turtle shell which I dunno

Actually, that banked action doesn't need to be used getting the sword- it's two actions you must spend without your sword now after a Gift, not literally two actions pulling it out. But nvm, I doubt you had much else to do.

Must say I have been more fuzzy in keeping track of focus costs now this fight is winding up, Fire, so you can have that dodge. He rolls evens- a miss, and then your attack rolls -1, for a 15, probably not a kill but then you Gift him, and that is that! I think one is left though.

okay...3rd barricade. one burst for each hit(4) guy

Heck, is this all that has happened whilst I was sleeping? Blah. You are still reloading, Rade.

Frankly, we are just waiting on Heph and this fight is done, the other goons are pretty doomed.

Sod it, I shall move things on anyway...

Incidentally, Burn, re your comment that a guy on the ground 'would have sufficed'. Yes, he would, but you did not specify that. I must remind people that if they do not specify targets I will pick the worst option for you.

-----

At the end of this action the helicopter will be 20 metres off the ground.

Rade, you fire (though do try and keep track of who is already hit in future, Rade). A +1 is certainly enough to kill that guy as he is Hit already...

And that is all the Goons down!

i don't assume i could try and shoot at that helicopter...maybe hit the gas tank or something 🙂

You'd have a better chance than others but you would only crash it even if you made it. And you would have to wait until next action!

Thanks Ush... (sarcasm)
Well, while we are waiting, I'm gonna pick up a spare clip

Aww, he thanked me...

You should be joyous, you've pretty much won!

Yea, about picking the worst options!

Oh yea, YAY! WE WON *dances in little circle*

"It was a good fight everyone, some things could have been better, but I guess we'll have a crew debriefing back in Zion"

Err, you haveb;t ACTUALLY on yet, not until someone takes out thge last bad guy, that gunner... I mean, I COULD just say you do it but doresn;t someone actually want to take the action?

well Hep IS owed two actions, and he IS hot so I think it is is safe to assume that he is dead, as long as hep uses something like hands without shadow and doesn't miss..

but..what have we won..we haven't actually learned anything about our man

Yeah. Or San could jump up. Or anything, just surely you guys want to finish it rather than just have me say you have, yeah?

Rade is correct, this is why it was vital you took Zhan alive.

"we'll get our info, I didn't bust my ass for nothing He'd better talk"

Am I allowed to make a non-Path throw?

Heph uses Beak of the Crane on the Gunner, grabbing him and spinning him around to face the door.

If Heph can make a non-Path throw, he throws the guy out the door and plummeting 20 meters to his death. If he can't, then he uses Strike of the Subtle.

If he gets killed, Heph goes for the cockpit. If he's still alive, this action Heph uses Hands without Shadow to finish him off.

Plus, we want to know if he did that successfully... 😄

(I take it Heph is one the chopper? Ill just, take this here gun I have...and Unload the rest of the bursts at the gunner, if thats alright ush._)

Yes, Heph is in the chopper.
