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.

BOSS ACTION

[idolpro]

But like, the thing about buildings is that when their structural integrity is damaged, perhaps by, you know, a dragon made of steel flying into it - they tend to topple over to form a compact pile of rubble as a form of self-defense. The more you know!

Anyway, everyone roll 1d6 to not be struck by falling bits of concrete and metal as a nearby skyscraper collapses onto the battlefield.

Except Duality, Leviathan, and Kaguya, who are all in just the wrong places to get shanked by high speed rebar and Lucifel, who's mom lets him have three high speed rebar impalements!

[sunflowering]

[ Oh.

That kind of hurts a lot.

She's just kind of. Staggering back a bit with some rebar sticking through her middle.

In defense she'll move to try and defend herself and fight, but like...

hit: 1 Dam 6
hit: 2 Dam 6

. . . Her ability to fight and block any further attacks right now is kind of compromised. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[420blazeit]

[ NOT EVEN ONCE, (4). she dodges the debris in some elegant monsterly fashion, and then she... sees kaguya get struck and nononononononono. she rushes over to her for an assist. ]

[ WE NEED TO GET YOU HEALS. ]

[ HOP ON, THIS IS DRAGON COUNTRY. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[sunflowering]

Dva...chan...

[ Aha... she stumbles a little more but reaches out to grab hold of her. ]

Off to a bad start already huh.

1/

[maidenheaven]

[ there it go ]

cw g... gruesome(ish) i think. this whole thing is honestly kinda bad.

[maidenheaven]

[ GIRL BYE

pinned by two rebars skewering both legs in place—it leaves him open to be impaled once more—through the neck. ]

[maidenheaven]

[ . . . ]

[ . . . ]

4/5 cw continues

[maidenheaven]

[ he moves to push the rebar out—perhaps too quickly, too efficiently for someone who should be screaming of pain and panic, but he doesn't. with nothing to his expression, he just silently grunts and struggles to shove the rebar out—i'm going to say it works fine enough for him because he rolled a 6 and there's a gaping hole in his throat. ]

[maidenheaven]

[ there's no blood, despite the gaping flesh. it's only clear fluid—the smell of lilies is easy to pick up for anyone nearby him—but regardless, he brings his hands together to squeeze his neck, sealing the wound shut and pulling neck muscle together to make up for the lost flesh.

. . . rubs his face after all that is done like

wow.

that was kinda messed up am i right guys ]

[420blazeit]

[ she's coming with kaguya, because she got... hurt... ]

[ uhm,
fuck. ]

[ NEW FRIEND ARE YOU OKAY?! ]

[backstory]

Lucifel...

[ I mean. He had one go through his middle too. And it was not...great. But his unitmate sure needs some help or someone to check on him. So once he's healed and failed....another attack. He will stumble over to Lucifel to try and check on him. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[backstory]

[ Tis but a flesh wound...!

That hurts a lot. It impales him, but if there is one good thing that SensitIV is for it's tanking. Because they can last. So he'll... remove the rebar from upon himself with a growl as the wound begins to seal over.

He's double pissed now. He at least already knows that the creature is injured so he's going to try and keep it injured by making sure those scars don't seal over magically. And he's going to try and do a stab.

Hit: 2 Dam 3

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[asonoficeandfire]

[ow.

what?

he stumbles at the impact, staring down in confusion at his chest and the piece of metal sticking out of it. a beat and he reaches out to steady himself against a wall so he doesn't go crashing, coughing wetly, trying to raise his arm and throw his spear at the dragon again, putting as much power into it as he can. it's... it's painful. but it's also (5 5) so.

he falls to his knees after that, his personal assistant (that's been here all the time shut up) moves to stand in front of him to block further debris with a roll of (5)]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[honoring]

[Ah-- Lancelot sees Duality go down and rushes to him. He got hit too, so he doesn't look much better but he's pushing through it decently.]

Hey! Hang in there. I'm going to take you to see Lucifel.

[Because that's. That's dire.]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[auguryofinnocence]

[Anyone should see that falling building coming, he's already getting out of the way before it happens (4), backing off to let it happen before rushing back in.

Could he help with other things? Maybe. But a feral demon man is best suited just to hitting with sword.

attack roll (4) with get hype and makes perfect = 10 hits
damage with in solidarity (1, 6, 4, 6, 1, 4, 3, 4, 6, 4)x2 = 78 damage
plus deadzone mud on the sword +1 damage to each hit = 88 total damage

This is a lot of fun actually.]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[honoring]

[Lancelot's ability to dodge being called into question here as once again he doesn't quite manage to avoid the falling debris ( 2 ) as concrete and metal fall on him.

However, it seems that apparently getting knocked down does make him come back stronger. Although he's bruised and bleeding from several areas including his head, chest and arms, he manages to put in a decent amount of damage with his swords ( 5 6 6 6 ) with an additional ( 4 ) for deadland mud blades for a wild total of ( 28 ) damage.

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[420blazeit]

[ she's going to assist kaguya in getting to safety FIRST, but then she's going to guard the heals going on, swiping at the dragon and growling; her spikes & tentacles standing on end. ]

[ 5 & 6 to hit, 1 1 2 4 4 5 5 5 6 = 33 for damage. ]

[ STILL HYPED,
STILL FULL OF FRIENDS. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[composeur]

[ he rolled a (3) so.... yeah he's not dodging that falling debris. hell he hasn't even noticed it. he's just stuck in place, staring with wide eyes as Kaguya and Luci O-hime get impaled. this can't be real. this can't be real. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[send_noods]

[As he's busy dodging debris, Gladio notices Leo standing there frozen. Using the bonus speed, he zips over to him, wraps an arm around Leo's torso and carries him out of harm's way (dodge assist 4)

Gladio sets him down and he's gone just as fast, they've got a dragon to kill]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[auguryofinnocence]

-- Hey, YOU!

[Whatever name you're going by?????

It doesn't sound like concern, exactly, more like he's barking an order. What in the goddamn world are you doing, quit being distracted, get out of the way?!]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[send_noods]

[Gladio zips around, using Get Hype on anyone in close proximity (Vergil, Lucifel, Kija and Yuuki get hype) as the building starts falling around them]

Shit! Again?!

[He manages to dodge (4) the debris, and while zipping around grabs Leo, bodily lifts him out of harm's way (dodge assist 4) and sets him down before running back to the dragon to get some stabs in]

Roll [4 3 3 3] dmg 3,6,6 total dmg= 15
Roll [4 3 2 3] dmg 1,6,5 total dmg= 12
Roll [6 3 6 3] dmg 2,1,3 total dmg= 12

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[auguryofinnocence]

[Just nodding approval over here, that's some good work, sir. Like your style.]

BOSS REACTION

[idolpro]

The dragon makes an attempt to get up, but D.va slaps it back down and Gladio, Lancelot and Vergil do their best to make sure it stays down, puncturing the absolute custard out of it. Duality's spear and while Leviathan's strikes glance off its skin(?), it still lets out a furious metallic screech.

This is really mean to dragons! How could you?

BOSS ACTION

[idolpro]

It's just really not a great idea to be mean to dragons, so really it's for your own good if you all stopped? It's very tired of being grounded, and it starts to glow...brighter...and brighter...and brighter...!

And then it suddenly spins in a full circle, spiked tail swerving around dangerously as it goes - with such force it creates a shockwave, flinging not just idols but also all the sharp metal and concrete debris as well - have fun dodging both of those, everyone. It may not be a technique as powerful as Megurine Luka's, but it's still not to be trifled with!

Kaguya, though, is definitely taking a tailspike.
