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

Impair? Double? Not good

I'll use a standard dodge

Active dodge for defense against Khali...

Again???

Fox's Retreat.

(Cloud, remember that you have Contemplation of the Tiger, it'll ignore some of that impairment...)

Active dodge as well. Need to keep some of that focus around...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that

Sinister rolls +1 for a miss, though I ama fraid that also slows you down for the next sequence, Cloud. Pretty vicious fight that one!

An evens from Tyr is not enough...

Khali rolls +2 on Mors and -2 on San. That is a hit on Mors for another four damage, and a death check. Mors rolls evens- a pass.

-----

Ares to strike Tyr, Mors and San can attack Khali.

Going to have to go again soon, Burn...

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

Khali will dodge both.

San, you roll +1- no good- and +4; a hit! Only for two damage, though.

You may attack again!

Cloud holds up his hand signalling a small pause in combat. He then removes his leather trenchcoat and throws it against the wall. After this he spits some blood onto the floor and gets ready for round 2

(Damage should be 39, but who's complaining... 😄 )

(Since she dodged both, she's on Frame 8...)

Mors gives a loud shout as he performs Roar of the Jade Emperor, slashing hard at Khali's midsection.

(Nice Cloud... 🙄 )

Ares uses Two Lotus Push to knock Tyr to the floor.

Two Lotus Push? He's not Blocked... still, nice to know you do have some powers to use with Blocks!

Khali won't bother dodging, Mors. You roll +3... which is actually a hit! Another five damage to Khali! That's annoyed her...

*smacks forehead* Duh, wasn't thinking was I?

Sacred Willow Push then...

Tyr will Fox's Retreat. But that avails him little as you roll a +4, Ares. You finally catch him and with a mini-throw send him to the ground!

Ares leaps into the air, fist extended, and comes down on Tyr with Swoop of the Dragon.

San slashes at Khali with Bite of the Butterfly.

Tyr takes that- but you roll a +6, Ares, for a total of 19! Tyr is hit, for seven damage!

-5, I am afraid, San; no good. But Khali wasted a dodge!

Learned Tutor's Block.

Ush, how can she be doing that again if you can only use Vengeance once per sequence?

Jade Emperor's Stance, nonetheless.

Yeah, Vengeance is once per sequence and she's already used it.

Fox's Retreat.
