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.

[ Sho's assistant is commanded to do another sweeping divebomb with a slashing strike of its wings, 3 missing Ogre #1 but landing a hit on Ogre #2 (Hit: 5 || Dmg: 3). ]

[ Sho's just gonna. Keep an eye on that dragon, leaving one spear in it and using Polarize to bring the other back up to himself. He reforms the large spear into a thin shield and a series of smaller, knife-sized spears. He sends two of them, one by one, out with Polarize again to embed themselves into any hands coming his way, the first landing its mark but the second missing (Hit: 4 || Dmg: 6, Hit: 3 || Dmg: 6), leaving Sho to duck behind his shield. ]

[ And... okay that's too many hands. ]

Fire in the hole!

[ Because his assistant is getting an overcharge via Telekinesis, turning into a fiery mass high in the air before suicide diving itself into the mass of hands that are furthest possible from people, sorry for possible splash damage (Hit: 6 || Dmg: 5, 6, 6). ]

[ They're struck by Cardinal, Cypress, Amaranth, Shogun and his bird—and although they manage to grab a chunk of flesh out of Kir Royale and Amaranth, it's impossible to avoid the flurry of attacks long enough to even do anything with those chunks—

No, it might have been possible, but the hands all stall, freezing in place with Amaranth's illusion. It doesn't take long—there's no holy essence behind the illusion—but just that moment is enough.

Blow after blow, they're repelled—then, Shogun's technobird makes the personal sacrifice to destroy their remaining flesh.

In summary, the ogres are fucking dead.

Some black fog remains in the air, swirling before dissipating . . . ]

[ kir's just gonna

lay here. on the ground. with the missing chunks and the giant back wound. ]

Fuuuuuuuuuuck.

[ It takes her a bit longer to approach due to the Situations with Cypress and Cardinal, but she does. ]

Nice shots.
[ a pause ] And... thank you.

[ gives her a thumbs up.

and then waves that hand in the air like whatever ]

Don't forget our date, just because you daughter's cute and I'm torn up doesn't mean I'm not gonna shank you in like three days.

[ Exhales, taking a moment to catch his breath before going about starting to Repair the area, wandering over to see if he can do the same to his assistant. ]

[ Fiery ball of scraps suggest no. ]

Guess I pushed you too hard on that last time...

[Once Cardinal is done doing unpleasant things to their foot,]

Sho, you were amazing!

No way, no way, you all took a su-pa cool lead! It was totally heart-pounding and inspiring!

Don't be modest, you've got a great tactical mind.

Aha, thanks. Nerd team must have rubbed off on me.

[ after Cardinal calls out ]

...Is that your name, then? Sho?
Because I agree, that was well-done.

[ Giving a playful little bow. ]

Shogun, more widely known as Sho, here to run support while you mighty warriors take the battlefield. I'm definitely more awe-inspired by your performances!

[ The sound of the reply rings tinny and painful in her ears, so that was a mistake, but she manages to bow in turn. Her own voice is a little deliberately quiet. ]

So modest. But this wouldn't have been possible without that opening you gave us—or your machine familiar's sacrifice.

[ a pause ] ...Though I think I need to deafen myself now; I'm sorry.

[ Waving a hand, understanding. ]

Take care of yourself, we can all chat once this is over.

[ deaf and unwilling to be less deaf atm so

just... sending out a general discord ping via phone, hopefully he'll get it... ]

Agnus Dei: Thank you for doing so much.

[ Modern boy keeps a watch on his phone, so he's quick to check his phone when he hears the sound, head tilting for a moment in confusion at the name before responding. ]

Shogun: Thank you for all your work as well! Cool moves!

[ ...

collapses onto her back, closing her eyes. oh my god. ]

[ The illusion dissolves into a shower of petals and then disappears entirely, just leaving Amaranth, human and breathing heavily. There's a deep gash where demon claws managed to pry her bark directly off her skin, and as she lets the rest of Juniper Tree recede, she re-coats that area in bark to stem the bleeding.

There's a moment of panic as she looks between Cardinal and Cypress before hurrying to squeeze the new daughter's hand. ]

Mela's tits. We need a healer.

[ she hasn't removed her own bark yet-- and hasn't removed cut tongue sparrow yet, unwilling to invite more pain to her ears than there already is with just the insistent ache.

So when she feels unfamiliar pressure on her hand her eyes snap open, immediately flipping back onto her knees, and lunging forward towards the figure near her, knife tight in hand and bringing it swiftly up to the creature's neck-- ]

[ --and stops within a split second, immediately yanking her knife arm back before the steel can even so much as think of touching Amaranth's skin.

and then she just looks mortified, oh my GOD ]

S-- sorry, sorry--!

[ YIKES—
Well, she's already halfway to blocking with a bark-coated forearm, repositioning as if to pin her, but she stops when Cypress does, only to find herself wincing a bit at the sound of a raised voice.

So she speaks softly. ]

It's alright. Your instincts are good.
[ And she takes Cypress's hand back to give it another gentle squeeze. ]

[Cardinal loses a few seconds gazing at their glorious and powerful lover vanquishing these demons with the light of the sun while the ocean roars behind her.

Then they are going to cut their boot off and start doing some very fast, bloody surgery on their foot.]

[ She's kneeling beside Cypress, but Amaranth turns to check on Cardinal just in time to see them start rapid-fire stabbing their foot. ]

Do you have any mud left on your weapons? You need to treat that wound.

[They nod curly, jaw tight as they keep working.]

There's some - I've got it. I can take her to the Deazone fastest.

[ voice soft, because each sound threatens to make her flinch ]

I'll come. It will be fastest with both of us carrying her on LiliS's breeze.
