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.

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[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.]

Re: END

[goodtoolboy]

[Scythe is WIRED and bleeding from his thigh where some chunks were ripped out of him but uh honestly he hasn't totally noticed. he's wired]

What the hell was that!!

[bouncing over to check pink out]

Are you okay??

Re: END

[worldlyafflictions]

[He actually still has Cloud 9 active, so this is mostly performative whining.]

Congl-imp-erates... The little imp demons figured out how ta combine. If dunno if temptaint goo is better than getting a chunk torn out but I should probably go lay down in Honmachi for a while...

Your leg's bleeding a lot...

Re: END

[goodtoolboy]

Eh? It is--

[looks down, oh shit]

Huh. Guess so. I kinda wanna throw up too.

[not that he does, just a casual observation]

Re: END

[rollplayinghouse]

[Well


The monster disappearing into smoke means Glory's no longer pinned to the asphalt, but a brief attempt at sitting up shows that to be a bad idea, and she winces. She's been more than a little bit crushed, and one of her legs is at an unnatural angle.]

...Ugh...

Re: END

[worldlyafflictions]

[Ended up pretty nearby, so]

Glory-san--careful...

[Will help her sit if she still wants to though]

Re: END

[rollplayinghouse]

[She suspects she has enough broken ribs that she doesn't want to risk puncturing any organs, so she just stays flat on the ground.]

I'm being careful.

Re: END

[worldlyafflictions]

[Will just stay near and keep an eye out for anything else coming--he saw someone in pink with them also...]

Can ya float--or will that still shift ya around too much?

Re: END

[nihilmancy]

[Visibly exhausted because she received the Get Hype, and now it's wearing off, but approaching.]

Um, I'm going to heal you, if that's okay, but... I-I think I have to ah, put my finger in your ear. I know it will be weird.

Re: END

[rollplayinghouse]

...You can leave my ear for later. Just fix my bones. There's something happening over there.

[looking to the south]

Re: END

[nihilmancy]

[Already kneeling to mend her bones back into place.]

Do you mean that explosion?

1/3

[resonantblue]

[she got out of that unscathed, eardrum damage aside. with a sigh she transforms her makeshift blades into a pair of spheres, like those meditation balls

she looks around, surveying the damage and the people she fought with]

Re: END

[resonantblue]

...

Re: END

[resonantblue]

WHO CAUSED THIS NONSENSE?!

Re: END

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Cool we're all eardrum-fucked here. Rubbing his ear for a moment, not realizing she's also not having a good time before speaking. ]

Thank you for saving me.

Re: END

[resonantblue]

YOU ARE WELCOME NOW PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY WE ARE FIGHTING THIS MONSTER AND THE DAMAGE IN THE STREETS.

Re: END

[calmthefoxdown]

[ WHEEE WELCO WOOO EXPLA WHEE FIGHTI WOOOOO AMAG is all he can hear. ]

I think... they're evolving? And I picked a bad time to go shopping.

Re: END

[gigadevilbreaker]

[WARPING IN from the South and absolutely splattered with blood, like, soaked in the stuff...]

Hey! There any healers here?

Re: END

[nihilmancy]

[Presumably after helping Maki! Hlasoh looks so tired right now, but she nods.]

Nero! Yes, I'll come over right away, and you can fill me in.

Re: END

[gigadevilbreaker]

Uh, well... I mighta cut off someone's head.

[That explains... the blood.]

Get on my back and I'll warp there. There'll be whiplash.

Re: END

[nihilmancy]

[HELLO chimera slayers, if you are injured and or, in pain, before you go anywhere, a tired looking Sekhmet is coming over to mend your wounds and offer numbing as well.

though also if you were in a great hurry and wanted to head over while all busted up, that's okay too]

Re: END

[vitainmorte]

[ oh

hesitates a long moment-- letting her worry about everyone else first, before coming over. she's got blood all over her ears and neck, and a chunk ripped out of her arm (still partially covered in bark), but.

She waves a little, politely. ]

Re: END

[nihilmancy]

Oh, ah, can you hear me? Or at least read my lips?

[She approaches, examining the injuries more closely.

She's got dried blood out of one ear to her neck as well.]
