USH'S MATRIX GAME: THIRD ASSIGNMENT- 'Eliminate'- PHILOSOPHY PATH

I won't dodge the damn attacks from those two twats, I will use a willow step on those SWATS with guns

yep..willow step there, ush

I assume we are in the office. Azrael tells te other ones to drop their weapons and backs slowly to the window...

Ok, Rade, you move into the attack. They ka-chink! and roll -5, -3 and -2. Pfft!

Your attack rolls +2 for a 16... a Hit of 3

Fire, the attack on you rolls evens and -1. No trouble!

Ok, the SWAT don't seem interested in surrendering so they simply shoot instead. One assault rifle attack on each, and a shotgun attack on Azrael, Rade and Castor.

I roll a +6 on Heph, a hit. I shall have him use Shielded to reduce it.

Ok, as the people have already been cleared out from here, it will only take you two actions to cross the room.

eek..don't have any focus for another willows step (the +1 for already having ben used makes it cost two)

si..gift of the emperor on that swat i hit

You didn't hit him with your Sword, Rade... no good, I am afraid!
Besides, now probably not a good time for a Gift- that Agent will be back soon...

okie I'm gonna move up that room, using gathering of the clouds (1 focus) to throw my last dagger towards that unheld nightstick cop

Hmm Natural Order for my defense against those shots?
(Are we now out of the agents range, were like on the 16th floor offices now? But we cant get across till we beat these gaur guys can we?)

Ush, can I use the gy like a shield? I know it will probs kill him, ad I might get a bit of damage but...!

You get some cover from him already, Azrael. You cannot take a defensive action without losing the hold though.

Fire, your parting shot rolls evens, hitting him for two... which kills him!

Castor, no, the Agent will follow- this action in fact.

Unload the left over 2 busts from the gun into a guy with an assault rifle.

Okay, I'll use him as a sheild. Still backing toward the window though.

ok, than i guess we can continue the running..i hope

just slash at him or keep running, but I'd try to put some distance between us and that agent

You cannot move whilst Holding, Azrael. You may not perform ANY actions without losing the Hold.

Castor, you roll +6 for an 18. With your coppertop Killer and Both Guns blazing adding into that, that is a kill!

Ok, bad guys open fire... we have a hit on Azrael, for 6 damage.

Nightstick SWAT follows and swings his nightstick at Rade... but he misses.

Round ends! Focus refreshes and exertion resets

"You need to take out those guys," says Finn. "You won't make it on under gunfire!" Just as you finish your target, Azrael, you turn...

Agent 3 is looking for a target. He chooses... knife guy.

Agent performs: Pose- Stronger, Tougher

He straightens his tie as he advances to attack... He starts with a kick to your temple.

Assault rifle guys are re-loading...

Okay, with spare action, slits the guys throat. Learned Tutors Block. If it is blocked Prodigous Whirlwind Kick, if not, I'll see how much damage ive got.

The Agent rolls -4 for a 10, very much a countered attack which is then Blocked!

You run up the Agent for your Whirlwind attack.

Agent Performs: Catch and Throw

As you run up him, the Agent's arms lash out and catch both sides of your body, and the Agent flings you into the office wall, for nine damage, sending you Prone...

anyone close enough for an Unyielding Tiger stance?

closing in on that wounded swat, I slowly walk over there using willow step (-1 focus) for reflex attacks, when I'm in front of the target I drop on my knees and perform Hand of the jade emperor -3 focus combined with Roaring blade strike -3 focus

Defence: willow step, unless I can use vertical dodge against all attacks except my target (hope to drop him)

Ok, lemme see... the reflex attacks on you are -1 and -3, no good...

Hmm! You rolls +6, Fire, for a 22. I THINK we can call that a kill!
