USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (PHILOSOPHY)- 'The Door'

Sure, you can join...

Ok, now, in this situation we are not tracking in the normal way. There will be no turns or card draws or refreshes or stuff like that. We'll be tracking how well the shooting group is driving back the horde of spiders, and how well the running ground is getting ahead and dealing wityh those spiders jumping out in front.

You will need to nominate your active powers as normal. Each power can be tapped just once in this fight and deactivates forever once done.

-----

We all good to go?

Good to go.

Ok.

The spiders will try and advance one space each turn.

If five combined succeses are scored against them they do not advance.

If ten are socred they are driven back by one.

The running group makes acrobatics rolls to see how they are doing in running through the complex. However, spiders will be jumping out of them as well. You may wish to very quickly consider who is more willing to stop and fight.

Going off soon!

For Klez's first action, he will be running forwards, his guns tucked under his arms and firing backwards at the Sentinels.

Remember, everyone, the Sentinels are armored. If you have an armor-piercing power, make sure it is in use.

Well reminded.

Ok, let's hear some actions! As the forward group is basically just running and the backward group firing, the important thing to know is if any tactics are changing or powers being tappd.

Question: Is it possible for people to change up which group they're with during this? Sirin will run out of ammo soon and then be entirely useless to the Covering Group, hence my question.

In any case, Sirin will fire at the Sentinels.

Literally yes, practically you will be horribly out of position to achieve much.

Covering group has twenty seven dice, plus one for each CC involved is twenty nine, and they roll... six successes! The spiders are at bay...

Meanwhile the runners start running! Got to be said, Helios gets off to a damn good start.

-----

Heph continues to sprint down the corridor.

Klez turns, stepping backwards quickly as he fires at the Sentinels.

"Hold them back!"

Berserker continues to sprint as well.

Melkor runs as well, wondering if he shouldn`t stay with Klez and Sirin after all.
