I forgot to move Dallas and Marduk! Let's sort that out. Marduk taps CC to wipe out the rear SWAT. Dallas moved on, scooping up an H&K.
1 - 2 says it is their initiative again!
Six SWAT on Barb and six on Dallas. That's a whole lot of gunfire and it does not go well for Barb, caught before he reaches cover. Definitely the kind of situation to bring in ST for, that!
Agent H catches Berserker this turn. Agent E kicks at him, viciously. Berserker has no Defence up and this is not at all pretty.
Agent C's Agent Attack misses Klez because Klez taps the ever useful King on the Water.
Making up from Balder's last turn, he blew down one of the SWAT. This still leaves six SWAT firing at him. Balder has gone for cover but only a bookcase is available in this corridor which has had ten types of shite blown out of it. The rolls go Balder's way- the SWAT fail to hit him, but they do annihilate the bookcase.
The much-bullet hassled Agent F performs another Agent Attack as his heel catches Ares on the rise. Despite Ares' best effort, this Agent is still slowly killing him. San's agent uses an Attack as well, and rolling well shows it was worth it. The Agent makes a normal forearm jab which you interpose, but then it reverses the blow and brings the back of its fist into your face.
Agent I drops into the clock room for a visit.
Agent G carries on its vendetta against Mors, Agent Attacking him on the ground with the +3 Throw bonus as well. His foot certainly hurts.
That makes it time for you guys!
Berserker- afraid using AL to move is no different from normal moving; it does not lead to a safe combat exit.
Barb goes for cover, though as noted above he didn't make it in time.
A desperate San finally is in a position to pull off the big kick again. The Agent uses a Defence against it. Final damage to the Agent is six; it is knocked over, though not back, giving San a chance to disengage.
Mors- this guy is sticking. You get your instant swap but... I cannot work out your logic at all. Quite aside from all technical points, you are not currently armed with a twin weapon.
You can make your attack, which the Agent will use a Defence against, as a result of which he avoids your blow entirely!
Heph, now lacking an MA booster, finds himself reduced to five dice; he rolls a success but the Agent twists away from Mors again and directly blocks your blow with his arm.
Melis moves in, just as her old friend turns up.
Sirin- short answer is no, you can't. Five powers in total, but it is three inactive and two active. All your nominated powers were inactive. You move on, bringing yourself into sight and range of the helicopter SWAT. Klez runs on too, using King on the Water to avoid trouble, and notably moving out of any hope of helping Berserker, for sure.
Ares changes tack and after the last blow to the face gets his arm under the Agent's leg and twists it to send it to the floor! Two successes was enough to make it happen.
Burn heads out West but he can't wish the Agent away.
Melkor gets moving on and away as well, though at least by firing at Agent E he is helping Berserker out. That is four off Agent E's pool.
Balder cannot be accused of not helping his friends but this time the cost might be his own life. His attack on B probably makes no difference anyway, as San is disengaging. Co-ordination, guys! You tend to act as a mass of individuals rather than a team.
Helios isn't going to get that chance whilst the Agent is still there. A reminder that when asked earlier, I said the max on the Agent in the doorway is three.
Cloud- you can always attack barehanded, don't worry about your sword. You can't swap mid0turn- Vet's privilege- but you can have had ST ready, don;t worry.
Azrael, Fire and Mirage burst out north into a large and sparse study area, its nature betrayed by a few books and notes, but with only mats to sit on. There are doors in the four cardinal directions. "Straight on!" says Finn. But this room is occupied.
Marduk looks around, sees most people that could help have moved on, sees Cloud still here but struggling to breathe and not in a position to help others. Blasting at Agent H, he heads backwards.
Dallas just moves head on, tapping King on the Water and blowing away two SWAT as he runs.
"What kind of 'taking on the Agent' was that?" he cries out as he comes past Barb.
The Osprey then strafes everything in the general area. It destroys Barb's cover. I think everyone else is tapped against it.
