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

A +2 means that goons is downed, leaving you guys free to move on. Ares, you re-load

Onto the second sequence then- speed roll is 3.

The inner doors burst open, and another dozen armed goons rush out.

Your starting frame numbers here are done with you moving to the next location borne in mind.

CURRENT SITUATION AT: Second Sequence, Frame 6

Factory Courtyard

Ares: 8/0/10 (cover: 2)

Factory Gate

Mors: 10/4/9
Cloud: 6/0/8
San: 6/0/9
Burn: 6/6/7

Goons x12: 0/9 (cover: 2)

-----

As we can see, Ares will still get to shoot first, and Mors gets there in time to engage also. Any of you can also be shooting first whilst you are moving, and remember to prepare defences.

Cover dive seeing as I'm not moving first

Six bursts, spread between three goons.

Mors does likewise, six bursts spread between three goons. Willow Step for defense.

Willow Step for defense.

Ok, picking your way between cover as you advance means you arrive a frame later.

Mors, you open fire. You roll -1, -2 and... click... oops! With their cover as well, I am afraid that achives only some minor damage.

Ares, you fire again also. Again, making that three seperate attacks due to Coppertop Killer at one frame each, that is three easy kills.

Bad guys fire. Two attacks on everyone save San, who gets one. Hmm, you are all clear this time!

Ares, there is a sharp crack, and a bullet flies through a crack in yuor cover and wounds you along the side of yuor face, four four damage. !! That was a rifle shot!

Factory Courtyard

Ares: 8/4/7 (cover: 2)

Factory Gate

Mors: 10/4/6
Cloud: 13/0/7
San: 10/0/9
Burn: 8/6/6 (cover: 2)

Goons x9: 0/6 (cover: 2)

-----

Looks like you are all ready to move...

Ares moves up to some different cover, firing the one burst that's left in his Ingrams at a goon.

San moves into cover, firing two bursts each at two goons.

Willow Step defense.

Mors puts his empty gun into his trench coat and pulls out his katana.

He leaps at a goon and slashes down hard from shoulder to hip (snapped).

Willow Step for defense.

That is three frames to change weapon there, Mors, so that attack won't come until after they fire at you twice.

One frame to change cover, Ares, though I will make that one frame closer to the gate. Your last burst is a -8; no good I am afraid.

Ares, the next rifle shot hits you in the arm, for another eight damage. I recommend you are not blase about this situation!

San, you roll +3 and -5. The +3 is a 16... we can just about rule that a kill, I think.

Bad guys fire two bursts on Ares and Burn, one on the rest. Oooh, +7 on Burn is a hit! For... a disastrous one point of damge.

Ok, all act again now save Mors.

"Of all the rebels firing guns, a sniper had to pick me!" Ares shouts after the second bullet grazed his arm.

Willow Step against goons, Shell of the Turtle against the rifleman. Ares looks for the sniper and moves to some better cover.

Now, if you guys had remembered to use the operators, they would have told you about Loomis getting ready to shoot you and you could have taken defensive actions against him earlier!

He's got Eagle Eye, Ares. There is no cover around here that will do it. He is firing from the third floor.

"Everybody, Loomis, third floor! He's got a sniper rifle!" Ares says after spotting his foe.

Four bursts at that slimy bastard!

Heh...

Two bursts on a goon.

Willow Step for defense.

Fair warning for people firing at Loomis- with range factored in as well, he is in 8 points of cover.

You roll +1, San, for a fair kill.

Mors looks up to see Loomis as well. "Damn..."

OK Ush, If Loomis ever shoots at me make it an Auto Natural Order, please?
Someone please call the operator see if there are any more suprises!
2 burst per 3 guards 6 in total
Willow step as Defence

Natural Order against Loomis' shots as well, if I become a target...

I already stated my defenses on the matter...

Too late to cancel the bursts I fired at the well covered Loomis?

Actually, that was why I put the warning, in case you wanted to change your mind, Ares.

Burn, you roll -3, -3, +2. With an assault rifle in your hands, those are all kills.
