USH'S MATRIX GAME FIFTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT PATH)- 'Payback'

+9, almost overkill there, San! You avoid the returning fire, but then they fire again.

A tad late for this sequence I am afraid, Cloud.

Burn, you move up a pillar, taking one frame. At the same time, movement from the far side! You can take a snap shot if you want.

Guess I'll just run towards him with natural order to dodge any shots he takes

Do you still want to Flying Weapon for the final approach? And did you want to Natural Order the bonus gun attack he gets on you as well?

I will, Just 2 bursts

That's how many he fires at you! You both Natural Order dodge and spin into cover behind new pillars.

Loomis!

Yes to both

Lol,
Gun nutters think alike.

Shell of the Turtle against both attacks.

((Willow step might be better TM, less focus spent.)

Good point...scratch that, I'll Willow Step and save my focus.

Mors spins with Shell of the Turtle to dodge.

"You know, Khali, you don't have to be shooting at me..."

"No negotiations? Fine..."

Ares opens fire with three bursts on Tyr.

Khali rolls +2... scoring a 17, even with the snap, which is a hit! Six damage to you, Mors, and Khali remain silent, snapping off two bursts again. You may wish to remember her Gun skill is 16.

Tyr will Natural Order that, Ares.

Cloud, you dash in. Sinister opens up on you as you approach, which you Natural Order. You then perform your flying weapon- however, instead of taking his bonus attack against that as you charge, Sinister drops his gun and performs a Learned Tutor's block instead. Cloud, your attack rolls +4 for a 19- a hit! Unfortunately, Sinister is tougher than you are agile, but that is still five damage as you slash across his side.

San, you are all clear.

-----

Khali is firing her two bursts.

Tyr is firing 3 back at Ares.

An annoyed Sinister performs a Roaring Dragon Push at Cloud. San is all clear to carry on fighting.

Now, with Burn and Loomis, we have an interesting little gunfight situation, which will be handled somewhat differently...

Fox's retreat to aid me in my dodge, can I ask what is Sinisters Fu stat?

2 bursts at a goon.

Shell of the Turtle, then two bursts back at Tyr.

(16?!)

Mors' Natural Orders her next attack and moves towards her.

How is ours gonna be handled differently?

(Well, having the Venerable Grasshopper path would help THAT situation...)

(Ush, can I snap my return fire?)
