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.

no subject
[ she has an immediate flashback to the other hostage game, the one in the house, the one with the fire, and her heart-rate skyrockets, something she desperately tries to keep from bleeding into the bond between herself and b & c, but... fff. ]
[ she sheds her henshin to avoid getting burned with its acidic fire for too long and then swings her scythe at it again, but this time coming down on its head, because she's going to see if she can pin its head to the pavement using her heart weapon. ]
[ 3 dodge,
6, 4 & 6 for scythe stabs. ]
no subject
But she's successful—wildly so, the demon's head planted directly into the pavement with her Heart Weapon. It shrieks again, or tries to at least, what with its head squished like this&mash;
And after a tail lashing at D.Va, the demon beats its wings, trying to desperately get out of its current position. ]
no subject
I... I kind of feel bad for you. [ she laughs. ] I have been waiting to let it all out, because, like, everybody's telling me to be careful and shit, and I've been real good, but what does it matter if THERE'S NO ONE AROUND TO GIVE A FUCK BECAUSE ALL THEY DO IS LEAVE!
[ she's getting a bit hysterical now, so she doesn't do much to dodge the tail besides, like, leaning aside and... nope! so she's getting smacked with its tail. ]
I am going to fuck you six ways from Sunday. [ she's made it a habit of carrying several other weapons on her person in the off chance no powers, but since she's not removing her heart weapon it looks like they'll be serving a divine purpose this evening~ a knife for each hand, so stab the hell out of this thing. ]
[ in her sort of crazed state she wiffs with the first one, but the second connects and she just stabs and stabs and stabs and stabs for as long as she can get away with. ]
[ 3 dodge,
3 knife#1
4, 5&3 knife#2... and since she's going to do multiple stabs i just rolled more damage dice for this knife, but feel free to ignore if it baps her again or something; 1 3 4. ]
no subject
but she won't be able to get the multiple stabs&mdashs;instead, once more the tail strikes her across the face, barbs on its tail dragging across her face. It pushes itself off the ground, attempting once more to be freed of the scythe—but to no avail.
It beings to leak a corrosive smoke, which will start to degrade her from the feet up if she doesn't move—and if she doesn't move the scythe, it'll degrade the scythe too. (Protip: You don't want to let that happen.) ]
no subject
[ her head jerks to the side as it strikes her, and for a fraction of a second she's stunned, because, like, ow. but also she's through holding it together. she severs the bond between herself and the alcheme! boys and lets the maelstrom of negativity consume her, sending her immediately over the edge. ]
[ she grabs her heart weapon and just whips it behind herself, lodging it in some building as she stumbles backward and away from the corrosive smoke, because 1) it's bad and 2) she's starting to change. ]
[ her tentacles burst out of her back and start flailing around as her unhinged laughter fills the immediate area. the change into her monster form is quick, if not painful, but soon her laughter is no more than a hallowed scream... her tail snapping back and forth as her tentacles all flail wildly. ]
[ no mercy. ]
[ she rushes the dragon and tries to swipe at its face as it's ( probably ) getting back up, but she misses in her haste. whatever. it's fine.
it's not. she's going to see if she can't slash up its body as she runs for its back, because she's got another plan. she'd like to avoid all the smoke and fire and acid, so... how about a pounce. time to wrap her tentacles around it, dig in all her claws, and cling for dear-fucken-life. ][ but also,,,
what if nom. ]
[ 6 dodge,
3 @ face swipe,
1 @ body swipe
5, 1 @ body swipe
3 @ ass swipe
6 @ pounce
5,5 @ bite. ]
no subject
It digs its claws deep into D.Va, beating its wings to start flying them both into the air—up and up and up and up—into the fire clouds— ]
no subject
[ realizing that it's about to bring her on a ride she tries headbutting it and, uhm, ouch. she just ends up hurting her own damn head, so #fail. ]
[ ok, FINE, it's time to go up~ and up~ and up~ and up! but she'd like to stop it before it reaches the black clouds, because they seem bad. real bad. the baddest, actually. ]
[ she chomps down on the nearest wing and rears her head back in an attempt to tear it clean off or, at the very least, put a couple of holes in it, so she can try to ground it again. she growls low in her throat as she also starts slashing its back with her front claws. ]
[ 1 headbutt
6, 6 wing chomp
1 claw#1
5,4 claw #2 ]
END
It shrieks in pain, wing wrenched into being incapable of working—still, they're close enough to the flame cloud that she's a little bit on fire. Just a little.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, it's starting to dive back down to the ground now.
Or rather.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, it desperately flaps with its other wing in a panic, and they both crash into the ocean.
The dragon is gone.
Roll 1d6 to avoid drowning. ]
Re: END
[ as she's brought closer and closer to the clouds she feels her skin start to burn, but her hatred is just as hot, so she refuses to let go and continues her onslaught of biting and scratching. she howls with delight when she breaks its wing, but she didn't really think this through, so she's out one evacuation plan. ]
[ at least the dragon seems to want to avoid becoming a smear on the pavement, so as it flaps its one good wing it redirections them toward the... ohno. even her stupid monster brain knows this is bad. ]
[ KER-TIDALWAVE. ]
[ 6, FOR CRITICAL SWIM. ]
[ the force of the dive sends her deep underwater, but she keeps from getting too turned around and breaks the surface in a panic, screaming and flailing all over her limbs as she heads back toward dry land. ]
[ WATER BAD. ]

Re: END
time to pop an invisibility potion, crawl out the car, and sneak over to giant dragon monster girl to start slowly shrinking her]
Re: END
[ ?!?!?!?!?!?! ]
[ WHAT IS THIS LITERAL SORCERY! time to scramble in the sand and then try to bolt. ]
