USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FIFTH ASSIGNMENT- 'The Pagoda'

Well, I planned to switch next round, after tapping EE, and Bespin said something opposite..... why are you so sure I have no chance of hitting him? I want to throw everything I have against him, both gun-wise and not.

Because you don't have a huge die pool with guns and considering the fact that Lo Qi fights unarmed, he's certainly got all of the auxiliary defenses. If you want to see how well shooting someone with NO works when you don't have a large pool, go take a look at the dojo fight between San and Mors from last year. This will be a very similar case.

You don't have a very big die pool with MA, either, but with powers like HL, HT, SS, and DiM, it won't matter too much. Also as you fight up close unarmed, he can't use CF (or it's bonus) so he won't be hitting you as hard as he was myself and Cloud.

So I should fight hin in melee without tapping my gun powers first? I thought that tapping EE gives me a pretty good chance of hitting.... and I can tap BT, when I don`t have melee defensive power left.

Edit- But it seems you know the system better, so Melkor will switch to unarmed strike on LO QI, not tapping powers yet.

EE won't do you any good because you'll actually have to hit first. Even if it gets you past him having LA you'll still have almost no dice to hit with.

And BT only works as defense against gun attacks anyway, and he's not going to be shooting at you.

Using your guns is just going to be wasting time that we don't have to waste.

Okay, so Melkor will fight him in melee, as mentioned in my edited post.

Any advice regarding tapping?

HT tap might be helpful but I'd advice not tapping it out entirely, as you'll want the extra damage it gives you. And you want DiM in as soon as possible.

Okay, I mentioned the switch....so my final action is:

Melkor attacks LO QI with his fists, switching ST for DIM.

Melkor, I don't think you read the BT description properly.
Here:

Effect: You can only make Gun attacks, and cannot use cover. All mooks need 6s on Guns rolls to get successes against you.

If you don't switch out BT you'll run into melee with a character most definitely designed to kick your ass and you'll only be able to shoot him...

Okay, switch BT for DIM then. Thanks!

Lo Qi has blocked Berserker's knife attack and is about to twiat him around and snap his neck, when Melkor attacks the finally tiring Lo Qi from behind. Lo Qi blocks Melkor too (who rolled more 1s than successes), turns and twists...

... and Berserker's knife is sticking through Lo Qi's chest. Lo Qi makes no expression at all as he falls, slowly.

Azrael, you are locked in a clinch with Jericho as he is trying to bisect your face with his sword, as he holds you off.

"Jericho!" calls Agent Daniels, from the Decon doorway.

Two more Agents are moving in, guns raised.

Cloud looks up, holding his chest and breathing heavily. Between breaths a few chosen swear words can be heard.

Melkor looks at at the agents only for short moment, sweating heavily. He grabs the shield and runs to Melitus with it.

Berserker watches as Lo Qi falls to the floor. He doesn't like this at all. He sees Melkor grab the Shield and then follows him, "Well that was a workout huh!"

Shield skittered across the floor out of Lo Qi's grasp just as it did with Heph.

Edit: Berserker will let Melkor go get while Berserker covers him.

Well, I will go for it.

Ares breathes a sigh of relief when Lo Qi topples over, but immediately curses under his breath when Agent Daniels strides in.

"****, why?"
