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.
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. ]
END
Something else happens: you see all the light poles suddenly light up, brighter than they've ever been—then, just as suddenly, the lights go out.
The whole city is dark.
Oops.
Well, at least the demons are gone—though in the darkness you can still feel the cold mist of dark fog, which lingers in the air. . . ]
Re: END
[It's cool, it's cool]
[As I hit the ground as I turn back into a human with just some scales, an arm with two bullets, and SO MANY CHUNKS OF FLESH bitten out.]
Who....who can move....?
Re: END
I can. Are you two okay?
Re: END
[ sore.
She looks over at the dark lump of paloma's body, her voice trembling: ]
Is-- is she...
Re: END
[Pushes himself to sit up with a groan, looking over himself.] No one would have any bandages would they? Because that....that is a lot of bleeding....
[He just got the wounds so he isn't suffering blood loss YET, but that is a lot of wounds.]
Re: END
[ points in...vaguely the direction it skidded off in before immediately heading over to go check Paloma for living. ]
Re: END
She switches her phone flashlight on so she can settle next to him and pop the phone between her teeth to illuminate the kit so she can search through it for what she needs and check Rye's wounds. ]
Re: END
[He will just be sitting here and stripping off his jacket and shirt to get at least most of the injuries. Not even damaged save for new blood, thanks frog materia. He will worry about legs in a minute, one step at a time.]
[There is scales on his back, going up his neck and down the upper part of his arms, and SO MANY SCARS from various fire/sword/whatever fights.]
[And all his new pock marks.] I just need enough to stop the bleeding. I'll go to SensitIV right away, just...just need to be able to get to them. [Looking around to take in what happened and-]
....oh. [Just realizing Palomo isn't getting a whole lot of medical attention despite being on the ground.]
Re: END
:) ]
Re: END
She's dead.
[ they pause for a moment, and then: ]
It's fine. I can fix this. It's fine.
[ it's super not but at least it is fixable. they're going to scoop her up, and...look over at their thoroughly wrecked motorcycle.
fuck. ]
Our phones still work, right?
Re: END
[ said through the phone in her mouth, tilting her head to angle the flashlight properly; she wipes clean, disinfects, and puts only bare minimum banding over the wounds for now, working quickly and quietly and maybe grateful that the dark mostly hides the nausea plain on her face.
She pulls back after she's done, taking her phone from her mouth and calling back to ruby: ]
Were you hurt...?
Re: END
[Instead of, you know, having them die to get to us.]
[Checks over his legs though and okay, got one good bite there, but he can do that himself. Lot easier than his torso alone.]
Re: END
Can either of you drive? I've got enough points for two bikes. Or a bike and a sidecar, I guess.
Re: END
I think I can...?
Re: END
Re: END
[ boop boop.
they buy motorcycles, one with a sidecar and one without. once the delivery animals bring them, they're putting Paloma's corpse in the sidecar and tossing the keys for the other motorcycle to Cypress. ]
Sure you got this?
Re: END
-- I promise I won't damage it.
Do you want your knife back?
Re: END
So that's what it's called. [It's SO COOL and I will appreciate it even with mild blood loss.]
I should be able to hang on all right.
Re: END
[ they're get on theirs, though, starting it and revving the engine. ]
Follow me, keep a tight formation. I'll keep you safe, I promise.
Re: END
[ ??? Well ok. Gently placing the knife somewhere secure and getting onto the bike and starting it-- it's a natural, fluid motion, mostly muscle memory, she finds, and is more than a little surprised by that. ]
Re: END
[IT IS A COOL BIKE AND SHE OFFERED.]
[Listen, his need to be a nerd far outweighs his ability to have a hard time accepting nice things.]
[Also standing up. Ugh. He pulls his jacket on and closed to minimize Blood, and will get himself back on his feet. Then onto the bike behind her, settling fairly comfortably. He's ridden behind enough people to know the proper closeness needed to be secure without clinging too much.]
