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.

[Yeah, fuck, that's - probably not good? Probably something in his arm broke while he was getting to his feet, because that was decidedly not a good noise]

[,,,it is super effective, actually, with a roll of 1 1 (and a hopeful 5 for the Hysmine Blessing that did not happen). He's pinned under the gachapon and is going to spend this turn getting himself the fuck out,]

Lumen!

[Instantly at his side, grabbing at the gachapon and practically ripping it off him]

It's fine, it's - fuck. I'm fine.

[Staggering to his feet. His arm is decidedly not hanging correctly]

[Not much either of them can do about it though.

Cobalt provides cover while Thorn's getting to his feet, guarding him in case something else comes at them. When Thorn's up, he puts a hand on his shoulder and Thorn will feel the familiar rush of energy that comes with Get Hype.]

Is it just your arm?

Yeah... it's just the arm.

I'm fine, I'll be fine.

[ Thankfully, he is of decent constitution enough that being stomped on doesn't immediately take him out, but it's enough that there's a crunch that someone's body probably should not make as he chokes out in pain. ]

Shit--

[he is trying to VERTICALITY the gachapon machine going for Senpai, which sssshould slow it to a slow jogging speed?? he hopes.

he's not sure enough to not try and intercept, though, hurling HIMSELF forward to try to slow it by intercepting with a midair kick.

and a 3 ain't great! he's taking a pretty solid hit by gacha machine for that attempt. at least he's tanky.]

[He shoots a bolt of electricity out of his hand at the gatcha-throwing demon, but it just grazes it without hitting [rolled a 3]. He turns on his heel to run back to Thorn.]

[At some point, Shark and Angel land, and she now has shield in hand thanks to Yasu's detachable wings.

But her main focus once her feet is back on the ground is to just skip right up to one of those demons and immediately whacking it right in the head with her flag.

(6, 3)

Peanut is not far behind except the round, squishy ball with a knife attached to its head like a Unicorn and it launches itself at another demon.

(6, 3)]

[ Shark yanks on one of Yosuzume's wing to pull it off, gripping hidden handholds to wield it as a shield. Which is lucky since unfortunately she's out of other reasonable weapons

She'll be taking this shield and smashing it into the nearest demon's knee she can spot with all the force she can muster (rolls: 6, 5)

Yosuzume is not far behind!! Even wingless he's darting after Shark to peck furiously at the other knee >8> (rolls: 4, 6) ]

Edited 2020-07-23 02:00 (UTC)

Oh come on, now there's this thing?!

[She gives a sharp hiss and in a fit of frustration hurls another summoned sword directly at the dragon (2, 3 whoops).]

[ Or is he? One good turn deserves another--and Senpai does have Quick as a Wink, and now that he knows there's shit coming--he's going to attempt to yeet himself and he would-be-savior out of the gachapon's path.

A four says he should succeed, too. ]

Kohime's sword passes harmlessly through a hole that opens up in the demon right before it'd have otherwise made contact - it closes right after the sword's through, but the distraction is enough that it can't defend itself from Angel and Shark + Yosuzume's's attacks.

And meanwhile, the demon stomping on Horizon is forced to back off when Peanut stabs it like a majestic unicorn.

The other two demons, however, charge forward - one reaches Kohime with alarming speed, grabbing and chokeslamming her into the ground, with the other swinging wildly at both Lance and Senpai.

And what's worse - the demon being attacked by the future is now duo barely staggers at all. In fact, it makes a grab for Angel to use her as a club, swinging her straight into Shark's torso.

--Thanks man!

[But back to business, Lance tries to dodge in under the demon's arm and chain it to the ground by touching it and hitting the floor fast.

He does, however, also roll uh. A 2 and a 4.]

[Quick as a Wink, he's on the one attacking Kohime, slashing at it savagely with his stupidly oversize shuriken. Speed lets him attack half a dozen times in an instant... but nearly all of them miss.

rolled 1
rolled 1
rolled 2
rolled 3
rolled 5,5 <-- here it is
rolled 3

what the fuck]

[Unfortunately for the poor demon, Angel manages to take the shield and bump it against its hand to push it back!! You shall not reach for Shark today, that's very rude.

(5)

But it seems that it was enough to lose her composure so she misses attacking the monsters this time (2) and she can't keep her mind focused on Peanut either (3).]

Edited 2020-07-23 02:24 (UTC)

Hey, keep your hands to yourself!!

[ YOU KNOW WHAT!!! Shark's going to try to bash this thing's knee again just for going after her teammate!! Unfortunately her rolls are 3 and 6.

Yosuzume trills angrily and circles around to stab his beak into the back of the demon's knee this time, with rolls of 5 and 2. ]

[Well she's sure missing a turn, busy slamming into the ground with a choked-off shriek, clawing reflexively (and ineffectively) at the demon that's pinning her.]

[He's still wobbly on his feet, and his arm is decidedly hanging limp at his side, but that doesn't stop him from trying to cram his spear in the face of whatever demon is nearest him. It is not especially effective with a 2 3 (ineffectual Hysmine bonus of 3), but man is he pissed]

Hey, asshole. Why don't you try and take out someone your own size?

[Which is to say, he is toggling on Machai Provocation and turning that demon on another demon for 15 seconds]

No problem.

[ Senpai dodges again and--well. He's on fire now, dodging the demon swinging at him handily (6).

He's also throwing two bolts of lightning at it.
4, 6
5, 3

One of those should hurt, anyway. ]

Fuck off already ya ugly mutt!

[ Ah-- He's saved, somehow-! He takes a moment to. Roll over. Catch his breath. Collect his bearings. From being.

Stomped on. With hooves ]

The demon attacking Kohime phases most of Cobalt's strikes through its body - though one does catch and tear at it's abdomen, causing it to reel back just as Thorn comes up - his spear also passes through it, but Machai Provocation causes it to bellow a roar and barrel into the demon that's distracted enough by Marnie's whiffed swing to be hit by Senpai's lightning - both demons end up on the ground, wrestling each other.
