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

[EDIT]

"You HAVE to get through that door..." says Finn.

Agent performs: Pose- Stronger, Tougher

The Agent flexes his knuckles as he looks at each of you, and then assumes a boxing pose.

"I am going to feel a whole lot better after this..." he says.

Yup, I edited in your Contemplation, Fire.

As for Dexx... whilst Dallas is beiung more prosaic than you imagine- he's not referring to the whole Jericho situation, just what is going on right now- there is indeed a vibe of you people not knowing something about Jericho. Dallas and Marduk both seemd to have words to say about him- and forbade any of the Vets from going with them to consult the Council.

The Agent will wait for you.

Okay, how many knives did I bring?

Just the one...

Hmmm...I have a full glock left so 4 burst on the agent, maybe if we exert him we can get by.

Ok, I shall process that once the others decide...

Erm, I need some advice, off other players, or even better, Ush.

How likely is it that I am going to need this knife?
And Ush, how much is the chance that if I threw it, I could hit him?

I still have that assault rifle, anyone wants it?

oooh boy..i'll surely regret this

RAde charges at the angent performing a HAND OF THE JADE EMPEROR. He makes a powerful slash from sdie to side at the agent.

(now...not that i wouldn't apreciate someone helping me with him, mayeb even someone to gun cover us from the4 distance, but i;m hoping the rest can get around him and run....mors should really be quite...away)

VR his plan sounds ok, one check tho, Can we get past him while he's extered, meaning: is it possible to run past him through the door in one action? and (coming from DnD-where it is always hazardous to pass next to an opponent: he wont get reflex attacks or anything will he?)

I'll have the rifle!

sure take it, get him extered guys

Does that take an action Ush? IF not, I'll fire 4 bursts!

Nah, you can have had the rifle swapping sorted out in thise five actions I skipped whilst climbing.

Throwing the knife is not easy but far from impossible to hit with, Azrael, but damaging the Agent with it- far harder!

Technically speaking the door should be blocked even if the Agent is exerted, but I would probably allow one guy to get past each time.
However, you probably want to get him away from the door, or proned, or something like that.

Castor and Azrael fire! A +1 and a -3, for a 17 and a 12. Azrael doesn't quite get that one on target enough!

Agent 3 performs: Bullet dodge

He blurs as he dodges Castor's shots, gaining two exertion.

Rade, you run into the attack

Agent performs: Intercept Punch

The Agent;s fist shoots forwards and smashes your hilt as the blow comes in, Rade, and the Agent spins and elbows you in the head, for nine damage. That takes you to 37 and a death check- you roll +3, a pass.

Another four bursts.

This time you roll +2, for a 17, and the Agent xarries on dodging, for another two exertion.

He has gained 5 so far, which has burned out his extra action and leaves him on 2...

Agent 3 aims a jab at your face, Rade.

any ideas on how we're gonna get that agent away from the door ppl?

Shoot the bastard. Alternatively, everyone charges him. Or we go through the wall. A more acceptable plan would be the last one...

going through the wall might work, ask Finn
charging him would be possibly work, but Heph and Rade are already quite banged up

As soon as our good friend Agent Dingdongdoorbell is exerted, Heph would like to state that his bad feelings about doors and Agents are right, and that he'd like to Jump of the Grasshopper him so you can all get through after he hopefully prones him. Him and his heroics...
