USH'S MATRIX GAME FIFTH ASSIGNMENT (PHILOSOPHY PATH)- 'The Reason'

claw of the tiger on jericho

(😬...this is certain death)

He'll use Fox's Retreat. You roll evens; Jericho lies back and lets the blow flow over him.

Rade* will do a simple Kick of the Grasshopper on you, Rade.

UNYIELDING GRASSHOPPER STANCE on him

Ok then! He rolls +2 on his kick for a 16... but you roll +3 for a 17, intercepting and smashing him solidly for three points of damage!

Jericho will do a Hand of the Emperor... on Castor. His sword flashes out in a lightning stab.

Heph spins the Xiao Emo around and delivers an Astounding Mule Kick to his spine.

He's not Blocked, Heph.

He isn't? No matter...

Hephaestus attacks the Xiao Emo with a vicious Roaring Dragon Push.

He'll take a standard dodge there.

Nice shot, Heph- you roll +5, and smash him good and proper, for four damage, sending him tumbling to the ground.

The Xiao Emo promptly vanishes, and re-appears to your side, swinging his baldes around with a standar dattack.

Hmm...

Learned Tutor's Block.

The Xiao Emo rolls +3 for an 18- that is five damage to you, Heph, as a tooth slices along your arm.

Which leaves you up for the attack.

Damn...

Heph strikes at the Xiao Emo with a Lightning Fist, shrugging as the tooth snagged.

(Keep in mind that Medea still hasn't appeared...)

(just waiting on the others, Heph)

Removed two damage from Rade due to faulty Tiger Clawing...

i assume i'm some frames behind castor and the rest.

but...claw of the tiger on jericho

Sorry guys, I was on an internet hiatus.

In anycase. Castor will block and use sweep of the grasshopper on Jericho, when the time is right.

Sorry, Heph, my error; you and the Emo had actually framed out.

I assume you mean Dodge, Castor. Jericho kicks off with a +5, for a total of 21.

'Hai!' he screams out as he makes his stab, easily brushing past your guard, for 12 damage as he cuts you nearly open.

Castor, you go for the Sweep. Jericho uses the Jade Emperor's Stance. Castor, you roll -1 for 13, which is a miss, and Jericho immedaitely gets a Reflex attack on you.

Meanwhile, Castor* attempts a Sweep of his own at Castor, and Rade* attempts the Trinity Special, a Jump of the Grasshopper on Rade. Castor has to defend against Jericho's riposte, also.

BTW, in this mass melee, no-one can attack the same target more than twice in a row.

heck..he has 16 ma 👇

dodge

(Arg! Well, Lightning Fist when we kick off again...)

dodge the sweep from castor* and Fox's Retreat on Jerichos attack. When I get a chance I want to use tiger stance....I just got hit by Jericho.

Any problems ush?

(Well, you ARE being attacked, that's a problem...we're going as fast as humanly possible...)
