IMPOCALYPSE

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.

Comments

FRIDAY - 6PM, 7-11

[idolpro]

[ The water doesn't send you very far—just down the street, to the convenience store behind the hotel. It took damage from the flood, press F to pay respects to all the snacks that have scattered into the street—but more pressingly, there's a creature nearby that's just absolutely terrifying.

There's a heavy beat of wings, and a creature that's half bright red-plumed bird, half oil-black snake blots out the sky above you, black ooze dripping from its tremendous sharp beak.

If you drowned from the previous roll, you're still alive. However, you must take one turn to recover from passing out. If someone saved you, you can take your usual turn of 6 total moves (5 including the failure to dodge drowning). ]

[As soon as the water rushed in, Rye was quick to grab onto Talon. Drowning was a decidedly not fun thing, plus there was a Plan.]

[Luckily he's Very Good at holding his breath and getting to somewhere Not Drowning.]

Talon, you okay? [A bit breathless, but he sees the monster, and he's pulling the large hooks off his shoulder and pulling the string that's just been holding the wire in a loose coil.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[iamverybadass]

[ Talon's coughing up water and leaning heavily on Rye for a few seconds, but he doesn't seem injured beyond some scrapes and bruises. He definitely cracked a few ribs, but he's not going to admit to that any time soon. ]

Fine. Are you ready?

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[protectshisown]

[Also I guess I should say he got a five on his swim roll. Makes sense. He almost drowns plenty, he's old hat at recovery.]

Yeah.

It's got wings. I think we should just go hard and let physics do it's work. If we can get it grounded, it'll be a lot easier for everyone else.

[Holding out a handle to talon, letting the wire uncoil.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[romanticlove]

Ah-!!

[Roll: 3 Well, this is great. Ren is not enjoying this swim very much at all. Her new wings are completely ineffective against drowning, clearly. If anyone can spot her, she's over here struggling against drowning as hard as she can.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[justfuckingtryit]

[He is not especially graceful, and he's looking a little like a drowned cat, himself, but he's staying afloat better than she is - hauls her, bodily, onto a piece of the passing debris with a (5)]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[romanticlove]

[She starts coughing up water and gasping for air as soon as he hauls her up. Clinging to the debris she lifts her head to see who it is that's saved her.]

Ah- h-hello. Thank you for helping me.

[She could seriously hug him right now.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[maidenheaven]

[ he's fortunately uh

someone who floats with water

I forgot that when I wrote this up. (4) anyway he's fine, but the beast is terrible and he does not care a lick for that so he's just gonnaaaaa picking me apart Again to hopefully stun it with pain, even if it ends up not having any wounds ]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[syncintohell]

[ Swept out by the water, Shu's ridiculous STRENGTH stat means he's able to embed his axe in something and use that to steady himself rather than drowning. actually, more than that it's a good thing that all the goddamn imps around that have been there recently has meant Shu has started carrying his axe again. [ roll to not drown, 5: action 1]

[Action 2]: Then once the water is out, he heaves his axe from the wall. HE HAS MORAL ISSUES USING THIS AGAINST A PERSON, but that is not a person. And with all the people around, he isn't going to simply be a bystander and allow that to bring harm to others. He rushes in with his axe, and swings it wildly— he has strength but not battle experience. [Roll, 6, 1. Success, for one damage.]

[Action 3:] And then MAKES PERFECT the same strike, but rolls a 1 on damage again, he just has no idea where the hell you hit this weird bird snake creature. [Success, 1 damage]

[Action 4&5:] He's not giving up, with another MAKES PERFECT axe strike, this time the strike hitting a more vulnerable area [ rolled 5 for damage ]and NOW he uses IN SOLIDARITY [5x2 = 10 damage]

Action 6: MAKES PERFECT SUCCESS AXE CONTINUES [ 3 damage]

Total damage: 15 ]

What on earth is that!?

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[backstory]

[ Swimming isn't exactly his strong suit, but he manages to make it out of that alive with a 4

That... sure is a creature though. Fangs gritting, he sure hopes someone else has managed to injure the thing already because he will absolutely use Part of Your Property to drag it to him and then go to town.

. . . Except I guess the water rattled him because he fails all four hit rolls (3, 1, 1, 3).

THIS IS FINE. ]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[romanticlove]

[Ren has been keeping an eye on things with everyone else now that she isn't drowning and as soon as she finds Levi she pats him on the arm to grant him Get Hype, after granting it to Thorn.]

Hello again! I hope this helps. Us healer types have to stick together, right?

[If raising the dead counted as healing.]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[backstory]

Ah--

[ Oh...! It is the Pep girl again! He looks surprised, thankful... and then smirks. ]

I thank you. Your abilities on Pep are surely nothing to take lightly.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[nohalation]

[Angel is suddenly a professional at NOT DROWNING (6), clinging to Peanut as they float until they get to the street.]

Su-pa Wowee!!

[She quickly shakes to dry herself off and as soon as she skips onto her feet, she immediately takes her flag like a javelin and tosses it at the creature with polarize (5, 2) with Peanut being tossed not too far behind with a knife still stuck to its head (5,4). ]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[asonoficeandfire]

Angel—!

[hi I look like a piece of peeling charcoal in places]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[nohalation]

[Angel doesn't seem to hear himmmm, it's only until she sees him that she waves! She has a corruption thing somewhere idk what it is though, just pretend there is some change here.]

Oh, hello Duality! It is good to see you! I cannot hear you for something in my ears have shattered.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[justfuckingtryit]

[He lands a 4 not to drown, though he isn't especially graceful about it - manages to pull Ren onto a piece of debris with sheer determination alone]

And then they're here, and he's stumbling to his feet and turning to face the threat, spear in hand]

[He's shaky on his feet, still - starts off unsteady, still bedraggled and dripping, toggling on Achilles Radar so that his hits can hit where they count]

[miss (2)

Hit: 4 Damage: 3 6

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[asonoficeandfire]

[he's got Titanya by his side again, and he's holding onto her as they're floating along, decidedly does not drown with a roll of (5). he's carrying the spear made from a lamppost, and now it's modified with a sharp end and also covered in danger mud from the dead zone.

also he... he looks like he's been standing in a furnace. his skin is blackened in large patches, peeling off and ruined. somehow, he doesn't look like he's bothered by it as he stares down the monster for a hot minute before sending Titanya at it to attack it as she goes to bite and claw at it.

He darts in while she occupies it, to try and stab or swing his weapon at the monster. his hits slide off but they also end up hitting.

1. Titanya - (5 1)
2. Titanya - (6 4)
3. Fail - (2 1)
4. Fail - (2 2)
5. Spear - (5 3 +1)
6. Spear - (5 6 +1)
total dmg = 16]

BOSS REACTION

[idolpro]

[ Unfortunately for Lucifel, this is fresh out of the murdercreature factory, so it has no previous wounds to distract it.

The creature screams as Shu slams his axe into its tail again and again, only to be knocked out of the way of Levi’s strikes by Angel’s thrown flag and personal assistant, that thud into it with enough force to knock some scales loose.

Thorn manages to rally, and jab his spear into its side, while Duality and his personal assistant fight side-by-side, landing a flurry of hits. ]

BOSS ACTION

[idolpro]

[ The creature shrieks, spraying droplets of a black, metallic-smelling substance from its beak. If you fail to dodge this, you will take a small amount of guaranteed damage every subsequent turn, though like the regular black ooze, sensitIV can heal through it.

Meanwhile, it beats its wings, flinging Levi backwards and into the storefront on the opposite side of the street, and claws at Thorn with one of its talons.. Not to be confused with the small Wild City Talon. ]

PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[idolpro]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[justfuckingtryit]

[He's not normally especially light on his feet, but with Get Hype, he manages a 4 to dodge the black droplets. He doesn't avoid the talon, though - catches it in a long line across his side, with a 2]

[He hefts his spear and grits his teeth, and gets ready to show this thing how it fucking feels to be run through, the last round giving him strength via Hysmine Blessing, Achilles Radar still alert for weak points]

[Hit: 6 Damage: 4 6 1
Hit: 5 Damage: 4 6 1
Hit: 5 Damage: 5 2 6

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[syncintohell]

[ Already at the back of the creature, at its tail, when Shu recoils from its horrible cry, shielding his face, this is enough to dodge (rolled a 4)(action 1)

give him a minute tho he's not. used to this monster fighting life. He's going to stay crouched down, checking himself over for damage before straightening again and looking around to see how everyone else is— not that he has supporting moves, but! ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[nohalation]

[Whoops, Angel def got in the middle of the substance (1) and she tries to scrub it off, but it doesn't quite work very well.

Unfortunately, it's enough of a distraction so trying to strike at the creature just doesn't work (2) and Peanut certainly can't do anything either (3).]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[protectshisown]

[Manages to avoid the spray with a 4!]

[And now is the time, with wings sending people away from the creature. It gives them a clear shot and Rye starts to move down, slow for a few seconds to give Talon time to notice before going into a full on dive, adjusting the trajectory-]

[A little closer, a liiiiiittle closer.]

[There!]

[He releases the handle from his beak with a loud shriek as he changes into a really big fricking ape, catching the handle with his giant hands.]

[Using collected trip wire, made whole and razor sharp thanks to FiN abilities, plus mud from the park, and gravity with mass and speed to attempt to slice off a wing around the base.]
