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.

[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]

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

[syncintohell]

[ And then, after seeing he can't make the edict he was planning on, hefts his axe again:

5 on success for first roll, Makes perfect means all subsequent rolls are also successes.

Damage rolls: 6 (which gets In Solidarity applied, so damage for the next action becomes:) 6, followed by another nat 6, and another in solidarity for 6, and then a 5)

Damage total: 29 ]

[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

[backstory]

[ Angel.... he's going to make his way to her at some point.

Heals for you. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[nohalation]

Oh, it is Leviathan, hello! I hope you are alright!

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.]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[iamverybadass]

[ Talon just manages to dodge the beast's spray with a swift bank away (roll: 4), and he's quick to follow Rye's lead, taking a second to confirm their aim—

He's barely realized he hears the shriek before he's changing, keeping the handle in his mouth until the last moment, snatching it up in still-forming hands at they plummet down, dragging the wire (hopefully) through the creature's wing with their combined weight.

ATK 5 2 4 || DMG 5+6+5 = 16 ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[backstory]

[ He's just not having a lot of luck today. The good news? He doesn't get sprayed by gross corruption things (4) The bad news...?

He's sent flying backwards into a storefront on the opposite side of the street. He'll be... pretty stunned. And he has to use his ability to heal to try and fix the damage from colliding into a wall.

But he's dizzy and off balance as a result...?

He's... trying to make his way back. He'll probably reserve this for heals. And he may need some help shaking that

He can't physically attack it personally while stunned but he'll absolutely use picking me apart again on it repeatedly

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[we_meet_again]

[There's a splishsplonksplishsplonk of feet running through water and then Cobalt is there, dashing in from (?) someplace with blood all over one thigh, just in time to get showered with a spray of goo (3). He hisses as it burns his skin, but after watching Thorn get clawed he has a crazy look on his face as he zooms in, Quick as a Wink, and slashes at the monster with the curved blades of an overly large shuriken that's been slathered in deadzone mud.]

BACK OFF!

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[backstory]

[ Leviathan is honestly... dazed and he's having trouble concentrating after his last attack and hitting his head but making his way over and he touches Cobalt.

Friend... you are healed. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[we_meet_again]

[As he falls back after striking, he was so busy having berserker tunnel vision that Levi's presence startles him, even as the slice in his thigh knits together and his sizzling ooze burns heal (though that metallic substance is still burning away.]

—Levi!

[Oh man, he's looking woozy. Cobalt grabs his forearm with his free hand and there's a poof of green light as he uses Energy Recharge. Levi will feel both energized and free of dizziness.]

Hang in there!

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[romanticlove]

[(Roll: [2d6 (1 5)]) Quick as a Wink saves Ren from the metalic-smelling substance before she doubles around in time to watch it claw at Thorn.]

Get away from him!!

[She moves quickly back to his side and draws her new katana to slash at the beast, aiming for one of its legs (Roll: [2d6 (2 4)], [3d6 (4 1 1)]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[asonoficeandfire]

[you know what, he really hates black sludge (1) but also his skin was already charcoal, so now he's melting in small patches on top of that. he looks like a mess, how splendid. he tries to scrub it off but he knows that's not how it works, so eventually he gives up and focuses on attacking instead before he'll be unable to.

so he immediately turns and tries to dodge the rest of the slime so he can get in close to the creature and stab repeatedly at it from the side.

[maidenheaven]

[ GOT A FUCKING 6 ON THE METALLIC SUBSTANCE FUCK YEAH

throwing four handfuls of knives—each are situated between his fingers, four with each handful: of them, 7 succeed and 7 of them fail, plus 2 crit fail.

Success (5, 5, 4, 4, 6, 6, 5) with damage (4, 1, 1, 6, 1, 6, 4) totalling 23.
Failures (2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1).

Using part of your Property with the blades inside to try yanking that fucking beast down way closer to the ground, possibly even crash the fucker. I rolled a 4 to succeed this roll and then a 5 for damage but IDK what it should go for so shruggeroni ]

BOSS REACTION

[idolpro]

[ Thorn, fueled by rage, jams his spear into the creatures side again, gritting his teeth through the damage done by the creature’s claws. Shu’s on the opposite side with his axe, striking blow after perfect blow, and Ren lands a strike with her new katana, releasing a gout of black, steaming blood.

Rye and Talon drop from above, shifting through animal forms to drop from above, carrying a strand of razor wire held taut—and just when it seems like it won’t cut all the way through the beast’s wing, Lucifel pulls it down with part of your Property, giving it the final jerk it needs to separate, screeching. Levi using picking me apart Again probably didn’t help it, either.

Cobalt arrives on the scene just in time to dodge the droplets and to slash through it with his shuriken; Duality doesn’t dodge, but grits his teeth through the sudden ill feeling to land more spear strikes. Angel is not so lucky. Wowee this feels bad! ]

BOSS ACTION

[idolpro]

[ You have stunned the creature for a turn! The tide may be turning, but suddenly, ten baby-sized versions of it emerge from the standing water, coalescing from miasma.

Three of them surround Thorn, latching onto his legs with their hooked beaks and tearing, while three slam into Rye surprisingly hard for its size, knocking him across the pavement. Three team up to slash at Cobalt with their claws, while the last gives an eardrum-puncturing shriek directly into Duality’s ear. ]

[ LOOKING AROUND AT THE EMERGING CREATURES, SHU SHOUTS, TRYING TO PRE-EMPT ANYONE'S ATTACKS WITH THIS ORDER

Action 1, he roars with Common Law ] Nothing here may attack through use of their body alone! We are civilized beings, and if we must take to the battlefield, it will be with metal or tools, to show we are more than beasts!

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[justfuckingtryit]

[As three of the demons surround him, their beaks tearing into the flesh of his legs, Thorn screams - staggers back a step - plants his feet to keep from toppling]

[The bad thing about them being this close is all the torn flesh. The good thing about them being this close is that they are at the perfect distance to shove his motherfucking spear in their faces]

[Get wrecked, assholes, Achilles Radar, Hysmine Blessing, and Get Hype are all in full swing]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[protectshisown]

[He feels the wire go taut, feels the strain on his arms as his speed drops down with resistance against the wire, and then the shift in direction as the wire wants to swing the other way-]

[He really didn't think through the landing strategy-]

[He let's go-remember concrete jungle-and he hits the ground running, then a roll and then his feet, a stumbling, lumbering path to try and get control, to turn around, and attack-]

[Then he gets three tiny monsters slamming into him and he goes rolling, and there's more bruising and he's sure he feels something crack-maybe several-]

[You do not stop moving in a fight!]

[He changes form back to his human form, drawing his sword, because he thinks he has to-]

[And he swipes at the monsters with a mud covered blade.]

[As she is about to swing, she misses (2) because she got distracted by her phone.]

Oh, Silence is back! How wonderful!

[But she still has Peanut who is gonna keep stabbing away. 6, 2]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[we_meet_again]

Lumen!

—ARGH!

[The demons rip deep gashes in his arms and legs and chest, and he very nearly electrifies himself to get them all off when he remembers he's in water. Instead, he violently spins his shuriken like the world's most evil fidget spinner at quadruple speed and saws at them, aiming for necks and faces to get them off.

hit 5 3 4 5, dmg 2 3 - total dmg 15
hit 2 6 2 1, dmg 4 2 - total dmg 6

He takes heavy damage from their claws and the water he'd standing in turns red. The metallic substance sears his skin but he has so much adrenaline coursing through him it's hard to feel all of this at once.]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION

[asonoficeandfire]

[he staggers (3) and immediately tries to extract himself away from the shrieking demon but he doesn't get away that easily and now both his ears are useless and he can't hear shit.

so instead he turns on the spot and swings his spear in a wide arch to aim for its head, it's stomach, it's... well everywhere. he's swining at it rather violently. and that means he'll just end up hitting mostly air and only getting one good hit in.]
