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

You can't be under strength, Rade- you get as many foes as there are of you, plus Jericho!

Castor* rolls -2; miss.

Rade rolls +3- a hit! Five damage from his kick, Castor, takes you to 39 and a death check. +1... a pass.

Jericho rolls -1 for a total of 17- also a hit. seven damage to you, Castor, taking you to 46 and a death check again... +5; a pass!

Castor: 2/46/2

Castor*: 6/26/1
Rade*: 1/35/2
Jericho: 2/3/1

Rade* goes for a HWS punch. As you cannot dodge that, I shall just roll it... -5, a miss! Your go.

I feel this is all a formality to my death ush? Is anyone else getting that vibe? Oii.

In anycase, I will attack rade.

Awaiting Zink's call and I'll get his crap up for him, unless he can get on.

Alright, here's the fool's reply!

Not dodging the attack. Then, on his turn, if he doesn't die, Kick of the Grasshopper.

Yeah, what he said...there, laptop works!

The Xiao Emo closes in for what he hopes will be a killing blow... -2... miss!

Heph, the Xiao Emo dodges your return kick. You roll +4... direct hit! Four damage to the big Xiao manthing... not QUITE impairment!

Shame you chose Rade*, Castor. Any others would have framed themselves out if they dodged, but he has a frame to spare. He dodges, you roll -1; miss.

CURRENT SITUATION AT: Ninth Sequence, Frame 6

Suite

Castor: 2/46/Framed Out

Castor*: 6/26/1
Rade*: 1/35/1
Jericho: 2/3/1

Entry/exit corridor

Hephaestus: 11/38/6

Xiao Emo: ?/24/6

-----

Heph to attack the Xiao again (different when you are not blowing two frames each dodge, eh?)

And a triple smash at Castor- a Sweep from Castor*, a HWS punch from Rade*, and a standard sword blow from Jericho

Like I said a formality. Oi.

I guess I will dodge what I can. Thats about all I can do at this point.

Castor* rolls: -2, miss.

Rade* rolls: -6, miss.

Jericho rolls: +1. Hit. Seven damage takes you to 53- not a hope, I am afraid.

Jericho's sword runs through you; he holds it there for a moment, before pulling it back, twirling it, and sheathing it, all in one swift motion.

Philosophy Path 'sticks' at what I shall call sequence ten, as everyone framed out in the last move. You need the Combat Path to 'stick' within one sequence of that to have any hope of survival.

whaaat? *gasps*

but hey.....at least i died at 59!..beat ya castor 😛

Claw of the Tiger, Hands Without Shadow.

The Xiao Emo does not dodge that; you roll +4 for 17; a hit! Four more damage to the Xiao Emo takes him to 28, and impairment.

Xiao Emo does a Bite of the Mantis.

Active dodge.

He rolls -3... a miss!

Hephaestus: 9/38/2

Xiao Emo: ?/28/4

... and so he will do it again...

Bleh. All dead, now what am I gonna do. Oi.

Impaired and predictable. I'll let it come.

Your mistake- Bite is not predictable. He rolls +1, and that is a hit for five damage, which takes you to 43, and a fresh death check. You roll +1... JUST a pass! Your blow.

Not predictable? Chyort...

Heph uses Tiger Stance, then attacks with Breath of the Dragon, modified by Hands Without Shadow.

Xiao Emo lets the Tiger stance come; -3 hits nothing. Then he doesn't dodge the follow up; you roll -1, Heph, which is a hit, for one damage.

The Xiao Emo goes for another Bite.

Dodge. He'll kill me, I'm sure.

(Were all gonna die!!!!!!! Sorry couldnt resist.)
