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.

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

You know.

Like a fucking idiot. (2)]

[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)]

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

[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.

--Ugh!

[ 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) ]

[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]

[ 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. ]

[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).]

[ 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, ]

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.

[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.]

Sab--

[ No no wrong cat. He only just helped her and this one looks... a little worse for the wear. ]

Miss Kohime.

[ Reaching out to rest a hand upon her shoulder with the intent of first removing her pain and... healing her. If he is able to get that far. ]

[Wwwwwell it's dark and she's deaf, so she misses the approach entirely until he lays a hand on her –– and then startles, whirling on him and floofing with a sharp hiss as she clutches her arm closer to herself.]

[ Hmm.

He lifts his claw up to show that he isn't intending to do any harm, and as he does a faint pink glow surrounds it, his dragon slitted eyes suddenly turning a golden color instead of his normal blue.

He himself looks a little disheveled, with a bit of blood on his outfit, though fortunately none of it is his as of yet. ]

I want to heal you.

[Levi isn't exactly a comforting person to her at the best of times, never mind when she's coming fresh off a violent scrap with demons and freaked out because she can't hear.

She backs up, pulling her bloodied arm in close to her side while pointing a hastily summoned sword at him with the other (the tip trembles and droops, despite what she's trying to project, she's not really whole enough to wield it properly). Her ears are flat and tail lashing, her body language warding, not aggressive, and her voice is overly loud when she answers.]

I didn't do anything but help win the stupid fight! The demons did all this damage, so––so stay away from me!

[ . . . . . . . . . . . how to...deal with this.

His hands drop and so does all of the glowing. This time he reaches into his pocket to find his phone. He merely brings up a note screen and types as quickly as his claw allows him to.

Once finished, he holds it up for her to read. But if she won't...read it that way he'll text it to her. ]

I want to heal your injuries before we get attacked by these creatures again.

After that I can leave if that will make you more comfortable.

[She'll read it –– squinting a little to see the text at a distance –– and regards him with a suspicious look, lowering the blade slightly but keeping it at the ready.]

. . .Then get someone else.
