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.

[ GOD FINALLY, perching herself up on some rubble once she makes it into the fray and raising her rifle up, immediately taking aim at the snake heads in the air;

6 hit, 4 dmg
1 miss
6 hit, 5 dmg
5 hit, 1 dmg
4 hit, 1 dmg
4 hit, 6 dmg ]

Dammit—!

[One snake head sinks teeth into Glory's shoulder, and the other catches her forearm as she raises it to try to block. The venom makes her hiss and waver on her feet, but then she brings the butt of her revolver down to try to smash the heads, too dizzy to make direct hits the first times she tries, but eventually hitting them each with a solid blow.

Attack rolls: [1d6 (1)] [1d6 (6)] [1d6 (2)] [1d6 (4)]
Damage rolls for successes: [4d6 (1 5 5 6)] / [4d6 (3 2 1 4)]

Then she fumbles to reload her gun, a bit unsteadily, and yells in the direction of everyone who chopped off snake heads.]

Be more careful with those things!

[One of the snake heads bites him even as he kicks it, and reaches down to yank it off and hurl it into the streets, but poison is in him and he narrowly avoids crashing into a building.

He decides to maybe not fly at high speeds while suddenly dizzy and instead starts running along the side of a building, taking himself back to the chimera with his talons sharpened by 10% furry and hurls himself onto the thing's shoulders. Four strikes to try and take out any nearby snakes, and the other two for the face and eyes of the beast as sprints up one of it's less damaged heads, flips, and aims to take out two eyes at once.]

[He is using 10% furry (raptor talons = str) and concrete jungle (speed). In places where the initial attack check fails, used third dice for another attack, in places where the initial attack check succeeded, used third dice for additional strength]

Attack 1: 3,2 (attack check 6, Success! 2 dmg)
Attack 2: 2,4 (attack check 2, fail)
Attack 3: 5,6 (damage check, +4, 10 dmg)
Attack 4: 3,1 (attack check 6, Success! 1 dmg)
Attack 5: 1,2 (attack check 2, fail)
Attack 6: 5,5 (damage check, +3 8 dmg)

[ Oh crap he caught its attention after all. ]

[ Gold quickly uses Warpstrike to pull himself away to the top of the grocery store (Dodge: 6) and dodge that initial attack. Once he's back on his feet on the roof, he summons three more swords using Living Forge above the snake head targeting him, placing them above its wings and body to try and pin it on the ground (Hit: 4 || Dmg: 2, Hit: 6 || Dmg: 1, Hit: 5 || Dmg: 5). Another sword is summoned on the roof of a higher up building, giving himself more options to escape. ]

[ With one more sword, he tries summoning a larger broadsword over the chimera, poised to impale the body from above with its fall (Hit: 4 || Dmg: 5). ]

[skillfully sidestepping the incoming snake head with a dodge of 6, this isn't her first rodeo with fighting monsters—and taking the opportunity to drive one of her blades into its skull for 6 damage.

HIT, DMG
4, 6

all the while, she's activating Polarize to magnetically drive one of the other snake heads to crash back into the Chimera's main body for 1 damage.

HIT, DMG
4, 1

and in case you need anymore confusion as to what's happening in this scene, her personal assistant's finally shown up—and like a transformer, one of its paws twists into a gun barrel and fires off two rounds at the Chimera—

HIT, DMG
2, 3
3, 3

NOT A SINGLE SHOT LANDS

IT'S A BEAR with a GUN HAND what do you EXPECT]

[SORRY SNAKE HEADS, PINK'S TOO FAST (dodge check 5 & 6). Instead, he's gonna flick one of his omamori into the mouth of the one attacking him, trying to give it a whack for good measure (atk: 2 (miss), dmg: 6 + 6 bzzt!). His dodge perhaps didn't leave him in the best position to strike back but the rings of his prayer staff are singing with an aura of electricity, so! Hopefully that's enough to stun it because he can see Scythe getting jumped.

Time to head Scythe-ward, making sure the snake Scythe ripped off his leg doesn't come back for seconds, using his staff like a bat.
atk: 2 1 3 5, dmg: 2, bzzt!: 2 | 1(2) + 1(2) = 4 TOTAL DMG
atk: 4 2 2 1, dmg: 1, bzzt!: 4 | 1(1) + 1(4) = 5 TOTAL DMG
atk: 2 2 2 4, dmg: 6, bzzt!: 5 | 1(6) + 1(5) = 11 TOTAL DMG
atk: 1 5 4 6, dmg: 5, bzzt!: 6 | 3(5) + 3(6) = 33 TOTAL DMG
WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM-- you get the idea.]

[Sekhmet hisses in pain as she's bitten (DODGE ROLL: 2), feeling her limbs becoming more leaden. Still she rushes over to Glory, complicated feelings about her aside, she wants her to be okay, and she is determined to win this fight. On the way there, she hacks at the snake that just bit her.

She touches Glory's arm, using it Doesn't Even Matter to close Glory's bite wounds, and then her own.]

(HIT ROLLS: 2, 3)

Edited 2020-07-24 23:52 (UTC)

[It's probably a good thing Glory's under the influence of Cloud Nine at the moment. When her head snaps to look at Sekhmet, she doesn't seem very pleased to see her, but there's no obvious negative emotion on her face.]

...Thanks.

[She continues to slot bullets into her gun.]

[ Glory's able to free herself from the snakes, and they dissolve into smoke; several snake heads are demolished entirely by Cypress's sharpshooting as well as Scythe's successful attacks. Gold's snake head dissolves into smoke as well, and so does Silence's. You're all (for the most part) certified Snake Fighters, though Sekhmet's snake wiggles out of the way from being hit. ]

[ While you've been busy fighting the snakes, these lions were studying the blade. They roar with all three mouths, so loud that it's ear-splitting—quite literally. (Roll 3d6 per ear to survive all 3 lion head screams.)

Whether you're stunned or not from that, the chimera rears up to pounce Glory, swiping at Sekhmet along the way; several of the snake tails elongate, opening up to a mouth full of tiny human hands that reach out to grab two chunks of flesh out of Scythe before moving on to try swallowing Pink whole, black substance oozing from the snake's insides. The last strikes at Cypress, taking a chunk out of her. ]

[Glory is deafened in one ear [3d6 (2 6 3)] but the other is turned to the ground and miraculously survives [3d6 (5 4 6)]. That doesn't save her from the giant paw coming down on top of her, though, flattening her to the ground, and there's an unpleasant crunch noise as quite a few of her bones break.

However, she does manage to keep her arm free, and from her position on her back she fires up at the chimera's thick neck.

Attack rolls: [5d6 (5 6 3 5 1)]
Damage rolls for successes: [12d6 (1 3 4 1 6 1 6 1 4 2 4 6)] (total 39)]

[Perhaps the roars don't hit him too bad because he was located up near the heads, and when his attacks on the eyes miss he (still using concrete jungle to run around on giant lion) launches himself up behind the heads. But he only takes a little damage to his hearing (Left: 5 5 1, Right: 4 6 3)] --fuck! -- [and sharply tries to stab the lion in ALL THREE THROATS one after the other with his talons out in his ire:

Attack 1: 6,4 (dmg check, +1, 5 dmg)
Attack 2: 1,5 (attack check 2, fail)
Attack 3: 6,3 (dmg check, +3, 6 dmg)

Before seeing a snake fucking blort into tentacles and try to eat his ~~????????~~ Pink and yelp] --Pink! [and launches himself off the lion to go help, landing onto the body of the snake and trying to claw down the length of it's body with his talons:

Attack 4: 2,2 (attack check 1, fail)
Attack 5: 4,5 (dmg check, +4, 9)]

[ I MEAN i'm sure my broken eardrums can definitely get worse but also I'm already broken and have deafened myself so, why roll,

(ok no. ears roll:
4, 3, 6
3, 5, 3
god this hurts real fuckin bad)

She cringes a bit from that extra pain, but lifts her gun again to aim for one of the lion heads, a little unsteady, and shoots:

3 miss
3 miss
6 hit, 5 dmg ]

[Here we are, getting deafened and eaten by snakes! The plus side of nearly getting eaten is I guess it somewhat insulates you from terrible ear-splitting roars.
pep dodge (1 4 5 1 3 3)
pep dodge (3 4 3 6 4 2)

He only gets a bit deafened on one side. Either way, Pink has probably been caught in a snake's coil's because there's no way for him to dodge. He tries to wedge the snake's idk sudden horrible tentacle maw open with his staff as it splits open and swallows down around him--he can't swing his weapon but there's a reason you don't put livewires in your mouth. Absolutely vibrating with conducted zaps.

atk: 5 4 1 3, dmg: 6, bzzt!: 1 | 2(6) + 2(1) = 14 TOTAL DMG
atk: 2 2 6 3, dmg: 6, bzzt!: 3 | 1(6) + 1(3) = 9 TOTAL DMG

[Sekhmet is deafened in her left ear (1, 3, 2), and falls back with a shriek as the chimera's claws rake across her. (Dodge Roll: 2,2) Although she feels no pain, she knows she needs to be aware of her injuries, and those of her comrades.

She rolls back up to her feet, leaping in to gouge the chimera's flank.]

(Hit rolls: 6, 3, 4, 3)

Damage rolls: 4+4, 2+2, total: 12)

[ That is a hell of a screech and unfortunately for Gold (Dodge: 3, 4, 4 || 5, 5, 2) he has nothing to block out the sound so both of his ears go from the continuous successions of lion screams. ]

[ He's more nervous now about getting snuck up on, especially as he spots the tails going after multiple targets. And he REALLY doesn't want to do this, but slash damage seems to not be as effective as they like so. Time for slam damage. ]

[ He Warpstrikes up to the sword furthest away from the creature, looking around at the people gathered before his eyes landing on Silence, okay good, he can work with this maybe. He tries to Warpstrike back down to one of the swords, but with the way the creature is moving, his first attempt yields nothing (Hit: 3). His second try sends him slamming into one of the swords earlier impaled in the (Hit: 6, Dmg: 5) and... promptly panicking a little because oh shit he's actually on it now, what does he do up here besides grab onto the other sword and call out. ]

Silence, pull me out!

[both of her ears are fucked, but she spots him at the right time and—well, between reading the situation and his lips, she springs over to him to grab his hand and pull him out]

—roger!

[ Grasping her hand, he uses the momentum to try and give two last swings of his sword, one a miss and the other a hit (Hit: 2, Hit: 6, Dmg: 2). ]

[with that screech, BOTH ears are fucked (3, 6, 2) and (4, 3, 1)

the good thing about not being targeted is that she can close in and slash the thing with her own blades while it's distracted with everyone else, thanks guys you're great at this, BUT NO MORE SHOOTING FOR JYANTA BECAUSE MY CHILD? YOU SUCK AT THIS

so she'll focus in on getting in some slashes at this thing's body, for a total of 6 damage before she sees what Gold's doing and helps him with her last action

HIT, DMG
~~1, 4~~
4, 1
5, 5
~~2, 2~~]

[ Holy shit you killed the thing.

Between the bullets and the claws and the electricity and the slashes, the beast gives one final cry and then crashes onto the ground—only, when it crashes it just dissolves into billows of smoke, leaving behind nothing but an ominous dark fog.

Everyone who was eaten is now free. Yay! There might still be some black substance on some of you, though. . .

. . . There seems to be a horrible rushing sound coming from somewhere, the earth shaking like there's something moving underneath, but . . .

For now—for now, at least, you can tend to your wounds. ]

Why is temptaint so bad in Hell! [Ok talking stings his one bad ear] Ugh...

[Getting a desummon seal out and just, shoving it on one of his goo wounds, thanks. WE'RE REMOVING THE STUPID DEMON FOG. I YEET THEE BACK TO THE ABYSS WHENCE YE CAME.]
