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.

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[ 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.

[ KNOW WHAT'S TERRIBLE

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

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

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

[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.

[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)]

2/2

[nohalation]

[But she reaches into her pockets to pull out a knife, aiming right for the neck. (5,6)]

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) ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[justfuckingtryit]

[Grits his teeth and forces himself forward jaw set despite the pain from his arm and his burst eardrums]

[The first hit misses, with a 1, but the second hits, Hit: 5 Damage: 3 1 4, with Achilles Radar to pinpoint its weak points and Hysmine Blessing to help this spear do some fucking damage]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ You know who should probably stop trying to fight after getting hit with acid sludge (that is permeating into his fucking skin???) and having his eardrums blown? If you guessed "this guy" you'd be right.

He's still going to try zapping it. (2), (1).

We've hit rock bottom, ladies and gents. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[purrrnicious]

[Kohime's feint tries the whip trick again but apparently third time is NOT the charm (1, 2). But she staggers up, clutching at one arm that's dripping a possibly alarming amount of blood, and then just warpstrikes to the sword still embedded in the remaining demon, letting the impact to whatever damage it's going to do since she's not really good for wielding weapons at the moment (3, 6).]

[everylast]

[ picking himself up off the ground (once again), he reaches for a broken bar of a dance dance revolution game to use as a makeshift lance, charging at the final demon with intent and swinging twice--

(4, 2)

-- And, breaking the bar, on the second swing, ]

END

[idolpro]

Angel manages to stab the demon right in the neck - it recoils, straightening up to grab its throat and wail. Compounded on top of that is Yosuzume jamming straight between its ribs, Cobalt sweeping at its other side, Horizon Dance Dance Revolutionizing it upside its head, and Thorn lodging his spear through its heart...

...

Which...well, it works, but the spear and the bits of the broken DDR bar sort of...start to get absorbed...into the demon?

Whatever was about to happen, though - doesn't, because Kohime warpstrikes into the sword lodged in its back, landing with such force that it just explodes, bursting into more black ooze that splatters all over Angel, Thorn, and Cobalt. Fortunately, this ooze seems harmless and much less sticky.





And now everything is silent, and you all are alone in the dark. Wounded, battered, half deaf, and being eaten away at by acid - but victorious.

Enjoy it while you can.

Re: END

[purrrnicious]

[Sorry for the mess. That sure was a trip, but her arm really, really hurts and she can't hear and she's doesn't exactly have any allies here. . .

So she stands a little unsteadily and then heads off in a fast paced walk, tail lashing anxiously, as she goes to find a nice small space to curl into and definitely not hide in.

As cats do.]
