Ah! Any particular clothing feature pertinent to your character you want to make use of?
Fun fun, here we go!
2 to 4 makes it their initiative. Oops!
I cocked up my last report. Agent C has in fact stepped in front of Melkor. That was meant to be a close combat engagement; it now happens this turn instead. A turn's grace for you there from a mis-report (although the turn update should have been a hint seeing as that Agent was next to Melkor and nowhere near Marduk). Melkor, I will hold your action and you can take both at once.
Melis, you attempt to pull away for your next move but you can't. When you turn to see why, you see the Agent has grabbed one end of your spear. Smiling, he bring up his other hand towards its centre, with great momentum...
Agent activates: Break
There is a loud, harsh snap as your weapon splinters into uselessness.
T'other Agent kicks off his fight by giving Helios a punch.
Other than some SWATing elsewhere- you know if you are in the firing line, check your damage to see if you got hit- that is all!
You guys.
Mors gets going with the Sais. The agent activates Agent Defence, which means Mors' attacks are reduced to three dice and useless. You need more pool!
Heph has the same problem, though he manages to get a light hit in.
Hawk promptly abandons his friends and leaves. Whoa! There are a load of SWAT in here. And a Balder beiung pursued by them. Balder just reached the balcony and can see the battle going on outside.
At this point he also notices that he can't possibly make that drop; it's insane. Not without AL or enough remaining damage. He'll have to climb.
Helios goes crazy-go-nuts at Agent I. It's a damn close run thing- with the defence these Agents are generating and with that parry, even the SS tap only just squeezes through. One success sees the manoeuvre succeed; Helios can disengage in safety! Of course, he's an All-Rounder, so that's the easy part. Burn has more issues. Still, a KW tap does the job! Burn runs away from the Agent, using KW to avoid the hit.
Melis, half out of shock, you back away and manage to disengage.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Monastery... Azrael slides his phone across the room for future use and blasts down another SWAT.
San and Ares, Agents close behind, burst out into the study room and are surprised to run inton their friends there, who have completed three-quarters of a circle.
Fire and Mirage cut through the SWAT as they move forwards; the way is now pretty much clear.
Outside... Klez's gun attack can have helped keep Melkor's Agent off his back, but I won't tap BB on it.
Sirin charges forwards; takes out a SWAT.
Cloud goes AHHHHHHHHHHHHH into heavy cover but can't find any because it was blown apart earlier on that step. So he has to go AHHHHHHHH into light cover instead, but he can at least move forwards.
Barb's fire, at half pool due to reloading and lacking Eagle Eye, is ineffectual.
Dallas has grabbed another gun on his way forwards. He's nearly there. He looks behind him to check the situation. "That's better..." he says. You still can't work out what his criteria are; he seemed unhappy last time he looked back.
Then the Osprey comes, destryoing Clopud's cover, and Barb's, and catching Klez a packet.
It would also cut Berserker in half, but the moment before the strike, Berserker makes the cut of his life and slices through his coat where the Agent is holding him, dropping him to the ground. You see a look of extreme irritation on the Agent's face before he is bowled over by the gunfure.

Card- 3H
Melkor makes an acrobatic jump over the Agent, than throws himself again, channeling all his ability to end the maneuvre with powerful kick in Agent`s face, trying to break his balance.
I will be tapping Hands of Light and Sharpended Scales here for maximum attack pool. If I manage to get Agent off balance I will try to kick him down the stairs.
Melis drops the remains of her spear and turns and runs towards the door to the balcony room.
That could have been my arm... she thinks to herself, nearly out of her wits until she collects them. She looks over her shoulder as she runs and shouts at Agent I.
"Come on, then, going to let us get away that easy?"
Yes! Melis, Helios, Burn, just run. Helios, Burn, if you feel the need, give Agent I a volley or so just to annoy him, but otherwise, save the bullets for the SWAT in the next room.
Heph, just keep working on him...
Mors will swap ST for SS, then whisks his sais around in an attempt to make another attack on the Agent, slashing at the suited menace with all his might (tap SS, tap KW).
Hmm...
Heph suddenly reaches up and twists his arm around the Agent's arm and wrenches with all his might to throw him over Heph's shoulder and forcefully to the ground with a mighty crack! as the floor splits.
"Stop ignoring me, damn you!"
(tap PW for last turn's attack)
He then leaps into the air and brings his knee crashing down into Agent G, having finally snapped at being ineffectual in helping his First Officer.
(tap SE, swap SE for CF)
Then, next turn, as that will likely have made him vulnerable, Heph rises into the air with a furious cry and kicks Agent G across the room to the East.
(tap VG)
