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.

I'm not going back.

[He rubs at his fingers; they're sticky with blood and whatever that black shit was.

[It doesn't seem to matter that much.]

I... you know, I told myself it didn't fucking matter that I didn't make sense here. I'm not smart, or cute, or friendly and I fucking suck at all our lives and I screwed my life up last time or any of that shit. But it was okay, because at least I could look after myself. That was - that was it, that was the one thing I was kidding myself I could do...

Should have figured I'd be just as bad at that as all the rest of it.

Hey... hey.

[Hesitates, then reaches out a hand to set it on his shoulder]

Quit lying about yourself, dude, that ain't nice. You're plenty smart, and plenty cute, and plenty friendly. And everyone's got days when things go a little sideways. Christ knows I've had em.

I dunno.

[K closes his eyes. He feels - God. He doesn't fucking cry. Not over stupid shit like this. Not when all it would do would make matters worse. Put the seal on it. You really shouldn't be here.

[... still feels sort of like he wants to. Fuck.]

I... Christ, I don't know. I'd have been way more help back there if I'd stayed outta your way to begin with. I mean - what use am I, if I can't even fucking dodge?

...for real, dude. You can't beat yourself up over every time something goes wrong.

Place like this, you won't ever stop, and that ain't on you, that's on here.

I dunno, Hurricane. It sorta feels like it's on me.

Even if it ain't... that's how it feels.

Yeah, I get it. It really sucks, feeling like that.

[Gives his shoulder a little squeeze]

But, like... look at it this way. You're up on your feet, and everyone's in one piece, and we got a shot at round two. That's - any way you slice it, that ain't nothing.

You think anyone would want me around?

[He reaches up; touches Hurricane's hand, just briefly.]

I - I don't wanna get in the way, or... shit, isn't it just more dangerous if I'm gonna fuck up straight away again?

You know how to fight, yeah? That's one more pair of hands helping to take these things down.

Not everyone here's a combatant, so we gotta make sure they don't end up in the line of fire.

Yeah.

[He sighs.]

... yeah.

I guess that's a better way to look at it, or something.

I guess I can't do any fucking worse.

Hey.

[Offers his fist for a fistbump]

You're gonna be awesome.

[Well, you made him crack a small smile.

[Come on. How's he meant to pretend he didn't see that? K laughs a little. Touches his fist to Hurricane's.]

I cannot believe you just did that.

Did what?

It's nothing.

[He shakes his head. Still smiling.]

You're just right.

Thanks.

No problem, dude. Just telling it like it is.

Now... go grab a breather, kay? Something tells me round two ain't gonna be too long.

Yeah... bullshit reigns.

[But he smiles as he said it.]

Guess we might as well just stick around.

Edited 2020-07-24 05:13 (UTC)

Yeah... sounds like a plan.

[He's still not really in the mood to go back.

[Still. K's recovered enough he can look down at his ruined clothing and see the funny side.]

Probably not much point in getting changed, mind. Why wreck another outfit?

Right? RIP this thing.

And ripped's the word.

[Sticks his finger through a tear in his pants. Man, this place is hard on his clothes.

[Shrugs.]

Sorry. That was awful. Had to say it.

[Snickering a little, though]

Oh my god, dude. Why.

Hey, I'm not gonna pass up an opening like that.

Once in a lifetime opening, huh?

Could be, don't know if I'd ever get a better one for that - really fucking terrible Christ how did you not just groan?

What can I say? I got refined taste.
