IMPOCALYPSE
BATTLE MECHANICS
Note: characters that are heavily injured may acquire corruptions. There will be heavy maiming.
- This is a turn-based fight. PCs will take their turn, the boss will react, and then the boss will take their turn. Players will react and take their turn, and so on and so forth.
- You may take up to six actions in one turn, including dodge. You may attack up to 6 times if you're not dodging, and you can attack even if you are dodging or fail to dodge. If a swing delivers more than one attack (throwing multiple projectiles at the same time) then it's counted as one "action".
- With every strike/blow/attack, .roll 1d6 twice (or !2d6. MAKE SURE TO DO IT THIS WAY BECAUSE NADEKO IS A TRAITOR. The first dice determines whether your attack succeeds or fails, with 1-3 as fail and 4-6 as success. The second dice determines how much damage you inflict on the boss. Please include both numbers with your comment on your turn.
- Roll for every strike, not for every turn. If your character decides to shoot 4 times in succession, roll a 2d6 for every bullet.
- Green text can be dodged, but red text is guaranteed damage. Dodge by using a 1d6, 1-3 as fail and 4-6 as success.
- UNIT ABILITY MECHANICS ARE HERE, but please note: this is not the end-all be-all of how these powers can be used, and these are not the only powers that can be used in a fight, these are just the ones that affect rolls specifically. The session's runner always has the final say, so ask if you want to do something cool but you don't think it's street legal. (It probably is.)
Note: characters that are heavily injured may acquire corruptions. There will be heavy maiming.
EFFECTS LIST
- Black substance, both sticky and acidic
- A sticky substance that seems to cling to everything it touches, and is impossible to pull off. It melts through flesh, but the more it melts, the more it seems to become absorbed. Sufficient absorption of this substance in any capacity (skin absorption, digestion) will result in corruptions that may be permanent. May be removed by severing the affected area, or by bringing the affected area to the deadzone.
BOSS ACTION
One takes a swipe at Cypress, trying to slam her into a tree while it barrels toward Paloma, dozens of small hands reaching out to grab her by her gun to crush it, squeezing one of her arms to snap the bones like twigs. Black tar starts to burn where she's held, and the demon picks her up to throw her into the air.
The other reaches for Rye, grabbing him to swing him at Kir Royale. ]
PLAYER (RE)ACTION
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
she's still got one hand free, though, so—wincing through the pain, she reaches for her bag to fumble for a lighter while changing the water in one of the bottles in there to pure alcohol.
she attempts to drop a molotov on its face. however probably owing to the fact that she's in intense physical pain this does not remotely work at all. 1, rip.
also rolled a 4 to try and wiggle her way out of the thing's grip? she's trying to retreat. ]
Hey, Gia.
You might win this one.
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
[There's a pretty horrifying snarl as he falls back with the impact and he rolls across the ground, but there is something to be said to being USED to not having a limb. His leg hurts, but he's still got three others, and there is enough training to know you do not stop moving.]
[6]
[And komodo dragons are fast even with a pained leg, he's scrambling out of the demon's reach, moving towards the telephone poles.]
[And gonna launch himself up high at the demon not with Paloma to try and try and claw it's neck!]
[Except that's another 2 then 5 because dice hate me so it's probably more he tries and just hits the ground and rolls across it again.]
[Ow.]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
She slams back into that tree with a choked noise, stunned for a moment, before rallying and pushing off to close the distance again, aiming to try to slam the staff.
5 hit, 5 dmg. ]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
[ with a roar she drives at the demon, leaping off her motorcycle to let it just slam into it (3, miss), firing a shot while they're in the air (4, 6 damage), before hitting the ground running to charge at the demon grabbing Paloma to try and stab it in the throat with a knife (6, 2 damage). ]
BOSS REACTION
In the girlsquad corner, the demon's slammed with Cypress's staff, stunning it long enough for Paloma to pull away and for it to take the bullet and the throat stab—the motorcycle crashes and explodes to the side because cool girls don't look at explosions— ]
BOSS ACTION
With a cry, the demon swings back, grabbing Kir Royale by the back to try throwing her at Cypress.
Rye's demon, meanwhile, has taken to try stomping on the lizard to pin him down. ]
PLAYER (RE)ACTION
1/???
no subject

no subject
she can't move, so: this is where she ends this fight, probably. ]
done
Fuck. Gia—
Re: done
[ they're running over, dropping to their knees to try and hold her as best as they can without hurting her more. ]
I'm sorry - I wasn't fast enough but - I can fix this, don't worry - I can -
[ fuck.
their medical stuff was all on their bike.
also field medicine isn't fixing this. ]
Re: done
...avenge me, you fucking walnut.
Love you.
[ and then she closes her eyes. ]
Re: done
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
[FUCKING OW.]
[He's a big lizard, but demon is bigger and that is crushing, but no, no, NO THIS IS FINE.]
[Swiping at it with claws and tail, but both are absolute whiff attacks, with 3 and 1, but all he needs is contact.]
[Because Frog Materia is Touch Based.]
[AND GONNA TURN THE DEMON INTO A PORCUPINE]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
and then she's running over to Paloma - ]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
she carries on, focusing still on the demon she and Ruby were fighting; lurching forward as Ruby flips it in an attempt to shoved the staff into its face-- preferably down its throat, with as much weight behind the action as she can muster(4 hit, 4 dmg).
As she does that, she reaches for the knife Ruby had abandoned in the gut of the creature, to try and grip and yank, roughly twisting as she goes(5 hit, 5dmg) ]
BOSS REACTION
On the girls' side, Kir Royale's savage blow is enough for it to recoil back, exposed for Cypress's staff attack. As it's knocked back, the knife is yanked, twisted—and all at once, it poofs into black mist with a dying shriek.
Rye's demon turns into a porcupine. ]
BOSS ACTION
Then it is two porcupines.
Then it is four.
Then it is eight.
Then it is sixteen.
Sixteen porcupines on top of one komodo dragon.
Well that's like, whatever, except for the part where all sixteen of them begin to dig their teeth into the lizard, with at least one piercing through the reptilian skin to take a chunk of flesh. ]
PLAYER ACTION
Re: PLAYER ACTION
(1 hit...)
,,,
AND MISS,
BECAUSE IT TURNS INTO A PORCUPINE??????????? 16 porcupines.
...
immediately swings her staff for two more of them, instead;
3 miss
1 miss
what the fuck.]
Re: PLAYER ACTION
[A-at least he is a big motherfucker, but that's still ten minutes from porcupines trying to tear out his flesh and he needs them OFF and is trying to shake them off and-]
[Oh, that is a thought. Worse thought.]
[Fuck it.]
[And then he whips around and CHARGES for where there are active cables, gaining momentum.]
[And then changing himself into a sparrow as he throws himself UP and hopefully OUT of the porcupine hoard and let momentum send at least some of them into live wires.]
[He won't be able to fly FAR with a fucked up arm/wing and pocked marked flesh, but at least it's to go in another direction then right into the wires.]
[And prepared to drop animal form entirely if he gets clear of electricity because he may not be clear of porcupines.]
Re: PLAYER ACTION
let's find out. there are sixteen porcupines, one komodo dragon, and one very very angry divine dragon with a taserbow. she walks steadily from Paloma's corpse, firing off shots as she goes -
2, miss
6, 5 damage
5, 4 damage
6, 4 damage. ]
