USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 SECOND ASSIGNMENT- 'The Monastery'

Started by Vera21105 pages

"Wanna start placing bets, folks?" Melis asks.

Just one success on your Healthy Tiger roll, for three damage.

You win initiative and strike again. Another good attack, for four successes and six damage!

Lo Qi Helathy Tiger's that in return, as you enter an intense series of blows and counter blows. Five successes and a bonus is ten damage. His actual attack is four successes, no bonus for another seven.

He's so damn calm, Heph... he could not be more unlike you...

Heph (8/38) PW CF ST SE AL WW SC NO HL DiM VG HT 2

Lo Qi: 20

"What would be the point in that?" San says, half-joking.

(yes, I'm being very amused at this...)

"Oh, come on!" Heph shouts, even more frustrated by Lo Qi's calm demeanor and the pain being inflicted. Heph chops with his left hand to Lo Qi's left shoulder, then swings upwards with his right hand across Lo Qi's jaw.

Tap HT, DiM, and WW.

"All too true, doll, all too true."

Berserker smilis and says
"Sure I got dinner on the slipp n slide monk"

Healthy Tiger taps out as you riposte his last attack; two successes for four damage.

Lo Qi has stepped back and awaits your attack. When you do, he taps Life's Armour

This gives him a parry of three against your attack, rolling on eight dice. You roll three successes exactly. which reduces to zero, and one of your rolls was a 1, leaving you with more 1s than successes. Lo Qi activates the Passive Wings defensive power.

He grabs your Stunning Fist attack, and with amazing speed he twists his arm around so that you are flying over his shoulder onto the ground.

He then taps Swooping Eagle, and flips backwards into the air after you. His jump is extremely high, and he spins around in mid-air, almost like a top. His robes come lose and fly across the room, leaving a short-cut martial artist's outfit (like the type Morpheus wears in the Dojo) underneath, and comes flying down upon Heph for a devastating attack.

His fist powers down towards your head, heph... and stops an inch from it.

"Enough," he says. He opens his fist out into a hand to help you up instead.

Berserker leans over Melis and in a low voice says

"Wow he's good"

"That was fast...and impressive."

Hawk smirks. "Seeing it done right in front of you sorta beats all those 'wire fu' movies, huh?"

Without noticing, Barb had been clenching the Handle of a Tachi. Letting go, and exhaling loudly, Barb says. "That was Ludicris. There are very few people with that type of speed and power." Scratching his chin, he continues "You knew in advance that you would destroy him, as well."

"He's good......." Cloud says aghast.

Lo Qi helps Hephaestus to his feet.

"How could I know?" he says. "You are very skilled, Hephaestus. But your problem... is not your technique. She was right about you."

Azrael nods as the monk helps Heph up.

I would like to know where the door is if there's no wall...

Strange question.

"So what was the whole point of that fight?"
Berserker asks

Man, you guys let lines fly over your head...

"A fieery personality indeed. Your problem is that you don't always do the right thing at the right time It can't all be done on instinct."

I knew what he meant. 😛

"How did you know?" Heph asks, accepting his help, though his pride is a little wounded. "About what the Oracle said, I mean."

"She told me," says Lo Qi, simply.

"Good friend of the Oracle?" Heph asks. "In any case, you are very impressive, Lo Qi."
