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

Started by Fire45 pages

Heph: get in their,
Castor: you seem to be the main gun man: so do your best
Rade: nice going you're there
Azrael: try and keep your fire as direct as possible because these guys have that screwy armour, use your bursts

Edited my post...

Ok, Rade, you spend your banked action running in with that, and charge home.

However, I will not allow your attack unless you specify your target. Nearest will not do. Also, don't forget they will get reflex attacks on you.

Ok, if Azrael is on the phone there is no question of BGB. How much do you want to fire, and at which target, Azrael?

And I need a target from you as well, Fire.

Ok, Azrael, you fire.

Shots ring out once more... you roll +1, making your final total 18. His dodge took him to 11, which means after suntracting his armour, that is a hit for 5- solid hit, but he's still up...

That's an exertion to move into cover as well, unless you use Gathering of the Clouds.

At the first shotgun guy, with 4 bursts. I'll get behind some cover, that cooler,anything. And then it depends how many actions i have left... Willow step defence if i am fired at though. Sorry didnt know if you saw my post.

Could I shoot as one action, move as another, and then shoot again, at the same guy if hes still alive? Another 4 bursts.

okay..then..a target...a swat guy with a shotgun

Well, you still have an action in hand, Azrael.

Rade, ok, two of the shotgun guys get relfex attacks on you! They ka-chink! their guns first.. they roll +1 and evens... misses!

Your attack rolls evens, which the Verticle Charge makes 17. Your target dodges, of course, taking his defence to 11, so after the armour that is a hit for 4. You tear a chunk out of his armour and cut into him, but he is not dropped...

Ok Azrael (just trying to keep up with your editing), you fire again. The moving into cover was not an action, only an exertion for moving and firing at once, which as I say can be Gathering of the Clouds into no exertion as well, if you want to spend the focus.

You fire again, for +2, a total of 19, which even with his dodge will not save him as he is already hit. In a blaze of fire he goes down...

"One down"

In fact, I hope you DO spend on Gathering, Azrael., Otheriwse, because of the exertion you gained from moving into cover, that guy you dropped will still get his action to fire before you actually killed him (he would have acted first)

oh..gift of the emperor on him 😉
(so i have to spend two actions without my sword)

(don't know if i can..but i'll ask you anyway. if no, than ok..i want to declare my next couple of moves because i can't post untill tomorrow.

so..jump of the grasshopper on a swat with an assault rifle.
and, recover my sword.
defenses...willow steps (if more than one shooting at me)
so bank these..and use them when it's their turn.

Fire, two of the assault rifle guys take reflext attacks at you... they roll +4 and -1. The +4 is a 16. Direct hit! 14 damage minus your toughness of 8 is 6 wounds, Fire, as a shot goes hrough the side of your coat. Close one, might not be so lucky next time...

You strike, rolling +2. Your target dodged (no Hands Without Shadow, Fire?), giving him an 11, but your raring Strike ignores his armour, so your 17 is a Hit of 6. Furthermore, your sword has a Mundane Killing Power of +1, and your total base damage is 11, giving another +1... so that is a Kill! You slash your man down!

I'll use it then... How many spare actions? Just one? I'll switch guns and fire 4 burst at another guy, an assult rifle one this time.

Ok, Rade, I can bank those, and consider that guy gifted, as you twist your sword and run him through!

BTW, no need to spend the second action recovering your sword. You get it back automatically (so long as you are still near it) after two actions so you can make another attack banked if you want.

okay..flip of the grasshopper on another swat with a shotgun (or the one i kicked, if he's not out)

Oooh, you big coward, trying to leave combat! Heh, okidokey then...

And no no, Azrael, all your actions are used now!

Okay, can you give me an outline of how they were spent, cos im not too used to the system. Thanks.

Ok, well, you had two actions (one that was auto-banked for your high speed, and one action because, well, it was your turn) and you have made two attacks, so that tracks out. If you look in the combat thread you may see Burn and Ares taking seemingly endless attacks against Mundanes; that is because of their Master level in Coppertop Killer.

Okay, so in a round total i have four, but the first time i get 2, meaning i have 5 total?

Yup. Anyone who gets to -3 exertion gets an extra action, but with Speed 10 you start at -3 exertion, so you get the extra action immeditately, and your exertion resets to zero.
