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.

[ As you approach the grocery store, you see it—the magnificent beast.

The cerberus.

It's howling before it levies glowing eyes at you.

Were you going to go somewhere? Time to fight instead! ]

[ ah hell how's dinner going to happen now

just kidding. she was prepared for monsters. she's got two swords hanging off her belt, each caked in a thin layer of mud, and living forges a sword to rain down on the creature and also to warpstrike to before landing on it and unleashing a flurry of slashes.

2 (reroll 4), 1, 1 (2dmg)
6, 5, 6 (11dmg)
3 (reroll 4), 5, 1 (6dmg)
5, 6, 6 (12dmg)

[Wednesday was NOT prepared for monsters.

[She just wanted dinner supplies.

[She has the shopping bag to prove it.





[Anyway she's going to be using Quick as a Wink to try and dodge because she has no better ideas and... a shopping bag.

[Did I mention she is screaming because she is absolutely screaming.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[softlyfalling]

Wednesday! Can you get to cover?

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[beautifulend]

[ DOG V. DOG!

THIS DOG'S GOT SHARP EDGES, THOUGH! They activate Hysmine Blessing and with Get Hype go to town on its face with their baghnakhs - with like, 50% success so whatever good start!

4, 4 to hit, 5*2 = 10 damage!
1, 1, miss! ]

Let's plaaaaaaaaay!

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[gigadevilbreaker]

[WELL OK THE FEINT DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY ALREADY... with a huff, Nero rushes in instead, revving the sword on his back as he does so.

He warpstrikes in to target a different head than Shrike's, using the momentum of the warp to pierce the summoned blade into the dog's eye (hit 4, damage 6) - then slashes down at its head with the blazing broadsword (hit 6, 5, damage 2(5+1)= 12).

To Shrike,] Now ain't this kinda nostalgic?

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[softlyfalling]

Have we ever gotten to do this in a live fight? How does this not happen more often?

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[beautifulend]

Oh, the big bird's here again too! How exciting!

BOSS REACTION

[idolpro]

[ DOG V. DOG

Between Jay's dagger and Nero's warpstrike, you've definitely gotten the beast's attention—with two eyes down and . . . well . . . four more to go, it's not exactly blinded but it's not happy. It's also not happy with Shrike or Sashay or Nero also slashing the shit out of it—each of the heads roar with pain. ]

BOSS ACTION cw burst eardrums, saliva

[idolpro]

[ The beast shakes its heads to buck all three of the swordfighters off onto the ground—though Sashay will fly into the air and then land directly between one of the heads' jaws, acidic saliva oozing on its teeth as it crunches the BAD END=DEAD END's bones.

The other two heads, in the meantime, howl once more, so loudly that it could burst an eardrum or four. (Roll twice for each ear.)

Then, the cerberus head flings Sashay into one of the pep!pep!s, or maybe both of them if they're close—but Moxie's got first dibs. ]
