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

As I said before, I'll fox's retreat.

Oh right, ok.

-1 for Sinister- not good enough! So, then he tries a Sacred Willow Push.

I'll use Fox's retreat again

This time he rolls a +2... close, but not quite!

Makes it your move.

I think I'll use Kick of the Grasshopper

Then he will certainly take the Learned Tutor's Block on that... and you roll -1. He has you!

One he has Blocked you, he decides to go hardcore, and uses a Seven Shaolin flip, actually hauling you up by the foot he caught and then hurling you into the machinery!

The rolled Outcome is a 5- nasty. That is nine damage, and sends you Prone!

Which he will then immediately follow up, with a Dreaded Egale Swoop, running up a machine to bear down on you again.

Only thing I can do is a whirling Monk Recovery

He rolls +4; that is a rather vicious hit, for seven damage, and sends you Prone again, so that gets followed by a Screaming Eagle Swoop as he attacks again.

Again Whirling Monk Recovery (*prays*)

+2... that is a direct hit, and another five. He is damn dangerous when you are down, Cloud!

21 damage done to Cloud that sequence- still, at least he had Crouching Monk else that would have been 27.

That takes you all the way into THIS sequence, Cloud, and Sinister will ebgin again with the Roaring Punch. BTW, he cannot Seven Scholar's Flip you again this combat- good to know.

Ouch...

LOT
and lets go for one more!

Okidokey- just a straight roll this time, Burn?

And you are due a move, Ares!

WIth Laughter of Turtle Activated.
Yea, I think I have enough advantage with him reloading.

Fox's Retreat against Khali...

San will use Vengeance of the Butterfly, followed by a standard knife attack.

Fox's retreat. I was doing so well before 🙁

Ares attacks with Kick of the Grasshopper, modified by Hands Without Shadow.

Mors defends with Jade Emperor's Stance, then attacks with Roar of the Emperor when he can.

Sorry, Cloud. You have to be careful about what moves you use against Blockers! Sinister rolls +2 this time, which is a nice try but fails. This time, though, he does not follow up immediately as you did not start the sequence a frame down.

Ok, evens for Burn and Loomis this time... and the shot is... Loomis'! He fires, but a -1 is a miss when Burn blows his Laughter once more...

Khali's attacks. She rolls -4 against Mors- a miss. She dodges the riposte. Mors rolls -1; a miss.

She rolls +2 against San... that is a hit! Another four damage. Khali is grinning again!

Tyr Fox's Retreats. Ares rolls evens- a miss.
