IMPOCALYPSE

BATTLE MECHANICS

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.

I've had like....ten chunks taken out of me. And I got shot with something? I think...think there's stuff still in my arm. I can kind of feel them shifting when I....move

[They're bullets. He doesn't know what a bullet is.]

Also got crushed a bit, but I don't think...anything broke? [He's gonna be hella bruised.]

[Gonna stumble on in to the room and what is blood splatters being a concern, that's just serious healer hut time right.]

Take a seat and tell me where your injuries are. I'll start working on your arm.

[And assuming Rye does in fact sit down, he's going to grab some tools from the shelves and numb up his arm before we go digging for - he assumes shrapnel but hey he can pull out bullets too, that's fine. There's none of the added bluster from their previous encounter, he's all business as he works.]

[He'll sit down, taking off his jacket and shirt. He's got some bandages on him, didn't want to bleed out on the way back.]

[Most of the injuries are actually from animal bites. His arm has two bullets in it.]

Two shots to my left arm. [Closing his eyes.] Bruising on my back, might be hard to tell under the scales, don't know if a rib broke or not. [He doesn't know he can will those away.] A chunk out of my right leg. Three on my right side, two on my left, four on my back.

[He keeps very still. Tense, because he expected pain, but he knows you don't move for healers.]

[Fortunately Izanagi has gone for the Full Numb so he won't even feel his arm! Sorry if there's some concerning sounds of bullets being deposited into a little container on the table though. Once he's got those out, he'll seal up the injury with a scar, dispelling the numbing there and crouching down to numb his right leg and side while he heals those up.]

What exactly did you end up fighting?

[Honestly, his head is swimming and it's not as if numbing agents are WHOLLY unheard of. Just not so effective.]

[He's started to roll that the crazy Might As Well Happen.]

Big monster thing. Horn. Bipedal. Muscley. About.....fifteen feet tall, I'd say....

Could rip out a telephone pole....

Turned one to a porcupine....became a lot of porcupine.

So using powers on them doesn't necessarily have the effect you'd expect?

[His tone is level and clinically curious, the numbing leaving his side and moving to his chest so he doesn't have to feel his rib moving back to where it ought to be.]

Hard to call....

Imps fused to make big monsters.

Might be individual imps became porcupines.

[Yeah, no, it's easy to stay still when it doesn't hurt. He can just talk.]

[And now for the the chunks on the back...]

Huh. I wonder if making them feel phantom pain would be on the basis of the wounds they received in that form, or separately...?

Guess it depends what principle that...ability? Works on.

Phantom pain is a pain in the ass though...

There were....it made holes in it's form. That's when I got hit....hit by the thing that got shot. Went through 'em.

It's hard to say when it comes to hell magic.

[And finally, moving on to his left leg. Everywhere else shouldn't hurt anymore even though he's stopped numbing it, although Rye is now covered in brand new scar tissue as a result.]

What kind of phantom pain does it make? I mean...sometimes my leg hurts....the one that's not there, I mean....big monsters aren't missing limbs.

[It's cool, he already Had A Fair Amount. He's not like a meat grinder healed over, but he's certainly been in a lot of fights.]

[~~You could seriously fuck him up if you wanted to Izanagi.~~]

[We learned our lesson with Nychta thanks.]

Apparently we can make old scars hurt as though they were new, but I haven't exactly tried that on anyone. I wasn't really planning to as long as I could avoid it.

[Aaaaand done! He'll stand up properly, peeling off his gloves by the wrists and depositing them in the same container as the bullets so he can go dump them all and wash up.]

You should be good. I'll try to fetch you something to drink in a moment.

Old scars....

Wonder if that'd make the big monsters divide. Scars....scars are just your body stitching itself together again....if imps are parts stitch together again....

[There is a wild idea.]

Hm? Oh, cool.

Were you making me numb? Or should I be worried about that?

Ah- yes, that was me. One of our other powers lets us turn off pain, or even all sensation. I decided on the latter so you wouldn't have to deal with feeling everything fix itself up.

I've turned it off, though, so you should be able to feel everything as usual again.

Oh good. Pretty sure....all numb is bad on it's own. That's like...

Shock.

Thanks Izanagi. You're awesome.

Or nerve damage.

[c':]

Just doing my job here. Let me get you a glass of water.

[And he will disappear into the main dorm briefly and return with four glasses actually, setting three down on some spare counter space away from the injured and handing one to Rye.]

Also bad.

Still. You've been a lot of help...one day I'll return the favor.

[He will just sit out of the way to try and recover because it's still U G H.]

[But will take the glass.] Thanks. [And drinks. And drinks. And drinks, yeah he was getting dehydrated.]

Don't worry about it.

[Waving a hand nonchalantly.]

Oh, and if you need more water, you can use the sink - but make sure you run it for a while before you put your glass under it.

Sometimes the faucets here produce blood instead of water.

[Y'know. As you do.]

.....why?

Our aesthetic is a curse.

....the unsettling healers, huh?

Good to know.

Kind of land for the clashing animal print now...

Cute, but creepy is our general vibe.

Is it really that creepy?

[Skulls are Legit Decorations, blood is only kinda.]

One of our Lives is to act super obsessed with something while being morbid at the same time. So like, "I looooove it so much I could kill someone."

That kind of thing.

....so that is considered super obsessed?
