"I'm sorry..." says Ariadne, "uhh, things are kinda hectic here right now..."
Walk of a Thousand Steps is not a Defensive action, Cloud; you would need Forewarned in Life to activate it on the defensive, and then you would need to make a basic dodge. I shall assume, the, you dodge.
The Agent fires three shots at Loomis. He dodges and the shots miss.
Oooh, Loomis rolls +4 on Barb, for a 21! Barb's dodge took him to 17, so that is a clear hit, for ten damage!
Khali rolls -1 on her stab at Cloud- a miss. She dodges against Barb's shots. Barb rolls evens for a 15... miss.

The four of the Bounty crew at the subway are backing away inside as the fight goes on...
Khali makes a Sting of the Butterfly stab at Cloud, an attack for one exertion.
Khali rolls +1 for a 16... a Hit, but the Tail makes that just one damage.
However, that has brought you to exertion 3, Cloud, and no action this round. Oh, other than your PWK from before which I broguth forwars to this action for conveience, as Tyr is not acting anywa,
Tyr uses a Fox's Retreat. You roll evens, for a 13... nah, not going to work, I am afraid- he slips out of the way but is FAR too busy to be fighting back right now!
Barb, Occupy Kahli, She's beating up on Cloud and I'd much rather her be beating up on you Sorry...
Mors, Tell Medea something and try to let her let you go , or break the hold, we need you!
San you have a Huge amount of exertion saved up, Go beat up Loomis!
Ares, Choose you target. I'm thinking Kahli or Loomis. or maybe both, your choice.
"And things arn't here!! If we get the laptop, then what do we do? and Where is the nearest Hardline?"
Okay, Burn, I can only fight ONE person at once...and I'm currently going after Sinister, so Loomis will have to wait.
Heehee, wow, I've got a ton of exertion to blow here...and quite a bit of focus left, too...okay. Jump of the Grasshopper modified with Hands without Shadow, followed by Beak of the Crane on Sinister.
Hey, guys...someone shoot Medea!!! If she tries to dodge she'll have to let go of Mors!
Ok, Sinister performs a Learned Tutor's Block on your Kick, San. You roll evenms, for a 13. A miss! And Blocked.
On your grab attack he therefore performs a Seven Scholar's Hold. Your attack rolls +1 for 15, but his defence of 17 is too good for you!
Sinister does a kind of shove-punch aimed at your chest, San- this is a Roaring Dragon Push.
Full marks to San, btw, for spotting the blatant hint I had Dallas drop for you guys...
(Same here, about exertion...)
Then, after Medea releases me from dodging (if she dodges Ares shots, if he actually hits 😛 ) and if she tries to engage me in combat, Mors uses Flip of the Grasshopper to get away.
If Ares gets another horrible roll ( 🙄 ), Mors continues standing in her hold.
Mors sees Ares take aim. "Still want to hold onto me?"
Huh? Agent luring thingy?
Ok, yup, Ares should be on -3 exertion. Mors, however, should not be on anything less- he really has been doing nothing whilst held.
Ares needs to re-load first. Medea will Natrual Order the shots he fires, releasing Mors in the process. Mors performs a Flip of the Grasshopper rolling a +2 for a 15- a Hit, doing two damage to Medea and getting Mors out of the fight!
Sinister's blow on San is a -3- a miss.
Jericho whistles. Medea looks over to him, and then hops down from the van and heads, with Jericho, to the vehicle that Loomis stoppd.
