USH'S MATRIX GAME FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT PATH)- 'The Heist'

Hey, is it Mors' birthday today? Ooh, shall I give him a temporary fortune point as a present?

Or you could give him the laptop 😛

😂 I like that idea...

You are owed a move, San...

Am I? Cool.

Hmm...3 more bursts at Loomis, I guess. Using Gathering the Clouds.

He'll Natural Order that...

Damn him...

And someone should keep track of how much focus they're using up...

Yep, it's my bro's birthday. ✅

Ares dodges Loomis' shots (standard dodge) and ducks under Sinister's bursts (Natural Order).

Lots of exertion for good old Ares here. 🙄

"Why, so you can have your pals shoot me or break my back yourself?" Mors asks.

He attempts a kick (fast) at Medea's thigh.

And yes, it is my birthday! I'm 22. ✅

That makes Mors about 37.

wait, Mors, If Medea wanted to hurt you she could have hurt you last trun right??
Dont try to hurt Medea, Its a gamble but I think that it will help us out.

Ka-chink and Boom on Loomis!

Mors says he'd like to cancel that kick then, just talking to Medea, to see what she's going to do.

Thank you Mors!

The decision is out of Mors' hands. He is held- he cannot attack, he can only attempt to break free and that will cause him to suffer damage.

"Just hold still," says Medea again. "I don't want to hurt you."

Loomis rolls -2, which is enough for a miss on you, Ares.

Burn is not dodging? I think that is an error that may cost you guys. I assume he didn't note that he was being fired at- an error.

Jericho rolls -3 which is JUST a miss- lucky...

But Loomis rolls +2 and hits. Another six damage to Burn double-wounds him.

Loomis uses a Shell of the Turtle on your shot, Burn.

Aw, crap! Critical failure! Burn, the shotgun has been mis-loaded and the cartridge jams. Not good...

Tyr and Khali hold position for a few moments.

Ok, Loomis is bring the van screeching to a halt by a subway station entrance, which rules him out of firing this turn.

Khali, Tyr and Sinister all dismount from the van as Loomis halts it. This takes one exertion.

Okay, not much from me now since I'm at school and everything, but here's what I say we should do for now. Or at least what Mors should do.

DON'T DO ANYTHING. Medea's got you Held, which means that she can take a free attack on you if she wants, yet she hasn't. Meaning that she's apparently up to something.

And Burn? I think right now would be a real good idea for you to just use up focus to avoid getting hit anymore...

How about yourself, San?

I thought I said Natural Order to dodge??
Dammit, Ok can I bank perminitly that unless I say otherwise use Natural order to dodge for me.
Dorp the damn shotgun and pick up another one.
Spike Roll your hummer infront of the Subway enterance.
San Stop the car and get out.

No, and even if you did that is only one attack.

And if you insist, Burn. But I think that is a bad idea. You can only do that twice a round with your focus and if you blow it on two crappy shots you have nothing left for the big one.

Ok, another three exertion to change guns...

I don't think I can act right now, I'm at three exertion.

"That makes two of us, Medea. I do not wish to fight, but that is what I am assigned to do." Mors continues to see what she has planned for him, standing silently, giving the others a look letting them know that Medea is not a target.
