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.

[All the damage around her is starting to get to her, and also she is not too bad in strength, but she isn't Duality. Her stamina still needs work!! When she goes to swing her flag, she misses (2) and Peanut doesn't do much better (3).]

Oh shit they got out--

[yelps and dodges-- nope that's a 2, fuck his life.]

[ Shark's staying right where she is behind her giant, currently wingless bird-bot, hoping demons continue to not notice her ]

[Crying out and using Thorn to break her fall, sorry, buddy.

(Missing a turn.)

Her feint's still up and running, though, retrieving her whip to snap it at the nearest demon's legs (6, 5) aiming to entangle them and bring it down.]

[OH—

Between this and his concussion, this fucks him up pretty good. He makes a terrible noise as the demon drives him against its knees, and he flops heavily, stunned, onto the ground.

Uncoordinated, he swats at the demon with his shuriken but he's a mile off.

Just... give him a second]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[justfuckingtryit]

[He yells when Kohime hits him - goes down, hard, skidding across the pavement. He's barely down before he's pulling himself up again, though, gritting his teeth together and collecting his fallen spear, broken arm dripping blood from the road rash]

[He turns toward the demon that attacked Cobalt]

I said, get the fuck off him!

[That's a 6 for a success with Machai Provocation to turn it against another demon, instead]

[As for the one by him, he misses his first hit with a 1, but the second hits, Achilles Radar and Machai Provocation in full force, with a Hit: 6 Damage: 6 5 1]

[ Well

He can dodge a demon arm, but apparently demon acid ooze--not so much. (3) (And I guess miss a turn?? probably ) ]

BOSS REACTION

[idolpro]

Kohime's feint successfully lashes and pulls down the demon grabbing Cobalt, and Thorn impales it once it's on the ground - finally poofing the third one, as well.

The fourth, struck by Machai Provocation, seems to just stand there. There's some rapid chittering from it, but nothing beyond that...

BOSS ACTION

[idolpro]

...until it screams, loud - unbelievably and literally ear piercingly loud. The sound is everywhere: in the air, in your bones, in your head.

Roll 1d6 to not have your eardrums burst.

[ Eardrums GONE! ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[learntofly]

[ KNOW WHAT'S TERRIBLE

HAVING BROKEN ARMS SO YOU CAN'T EVEN COVER YOUR EARS RIGHT NOW (roll: 2) ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[crimeson]

[look the guy is already reeling from getting ACIDED, why you gotta-- oh he rolled a 5, thank fuck for tankiness.]

[everylast]

[ for fucking once he gets off easy and does not go deaf! ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[justfuckingtryit]

[2, ow]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[nohalation]

[I mean, losing your eardrums isn't the most pleasant of experiences. (3)]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[we_meet_again]

[He flinches and rolls away from the sound, trying to cover his ears (6).]

BOSS ACTION

[idolpro]

And now that it's no longer under the effects of Machai, the final demon tries to leap onto Angel and pin her to the ground, its skin seeming to entirely shift black and begin dripping ooze onto her.

[crimeson]

[Lance staggers to his feet and tries to tackle the demon away from Angel.

You know.

Like a fucking idiot. (2)]

1/2

[nohalation]

[Angel was still stumbling from her bursting ear drums so knocking her over is easy enough, and long enough for the ooze to get on her. (2)]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[we_meet_again]

[Spurred back to action by the sound of the demon's shriek, he stumbles to his feet, head swimming and vision blurry. He swipes at it with all his might, trying to get it away from Angel -- but, uncoordinated as he is, some of his swipes go wide.

rolled 3
rolled 3
rolled 5,2]

--Ugh!

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[learntofly]

[ Shark can't do much, but Yosuzume darts in with a shrill little sound, jabbing his sharp beak at a spot right between the demon's ribs (rolls: 4, 2) ]
