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.

BOSS ACTION
Demon #4 presses its other hand onto the ground, swinging its leg to send a sweeping kick Hurricane, Man Eater, Nero, Talon, and Jay.
The thudding grows closer. ]
PLAYER (RE)ACTION
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
Titanya goes on to bite and scratch at whatever available part of Demon #1, keeping up her assault as long as Duality is conscious. (4 4) (3 5) (4 5)]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
[Then he pivots toward Demon #4, blades flashing, twisting and dodging as he gets up close and personal to try and cut this one to ash, too]
[miss (2)
Hit: 6 Damage: 4 2
Hit: 6 Damage: 6 5
miss (3)
miss (1)]
[That thudding sounds bad, but that is a problem for future Hurricane]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
he's wasted enough time with this one; he darts forward and swings down his own leg directly over its head (attack check: 1 5 1 6), packing a particularly hefty punch with his power buff going (damage roll: 6). ]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
he's got some blood on his temple now, but he doesn't seem bothered.
Instead he rushes forward, and hits demon #4 with the kris (4), again drawing it deep, for 21 damage (5+6+6+1+3).
He goes to grab another throwing dagger from his jacket-- and grabs it, but his grip is weak from his fucking shoulder again (1), and it slows his reaction.]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
Daggers:
1st - miss
2nd - ATK: 6 6 || DMG 6 2 ]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
4 to hit, 1+1+6+4 = 12 damage!
4 to hit, 4+3+6+3 = 16 damage! ]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
Fuck off!
[He quickly stabs himself in the chest, before even getting up - then summons a sword point blank at demon #4's face. In a blink, he's off the ground and warping to the spot - and while the momentum of the sword doesn't land, (hit 3) he reflexively twists his body and slashes into it with Red Queen (hit 5, damage 3+3= 6)]
END
All these fuckers are dead!
Demon #1 (which was marked as #2 sorry) dissolves into smoke with Duality's strike, while Demon #4 crumples up into ash due to Hurricane's blows—it's completely defenseless against Man Eater's kick, before it's just sliced the fuck up by Talon, Nero, Jay, and Sashay. It's not even ash by the time you're all done with it—it's already completely scattered into the wind.
The thumping grows ever closer . . . and then . . .
You see Something dark in the far distance—but it doesn't seem to have noticed you.
It moves on, leaving you alone . . . for now.
Finally, you can tend to your wounds. Some dark fog still hangs in the air, but you've found victory. ]

going to basically fall back onto his ass, hard, as literally everything hits him at once.

and then he staggers and collapses forward, grunting with pain and covering his bleeding ear with a hand and curling his other arm over his chest with a wheeze because it feels like he's punctured a lung and broke more than a few ribs and other bones]
Re: END
now that the fight is over, the pain in his ears finally catches up to him, and he places a hand to both ears with a "tsk." he sure can't hear shit! ]
Re: END
[And they don't... actually... have any healers here]
[But at least it's not coming this way yet. Small favors. That means there's still time to get ready]
[He grits his teeth, and presses his hand to the place in his side that's still bleeding, sluggishly. Everything hurts]
Re: END
[ Eyeing that wound on his side to try to gauge it himself ]
