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.

[...

Well. He sure did that.

Nero breathes out, looking down at the body of this wolf, now cleaved in two.]

[mind_blown]

[well at least the berserk feelings stop, and uh.

jason turns back from the knocked out shrike and sees why.]

...

[he is too fucking tired for this.]

Still working on not using fatal force, huh.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Nero rubs his face, suddenly exhausted. He's just drenched in blood, but he doesn't even seem to notice.]

...Still working on it.

[mind_blown]

[his emotions are a complete mess right now— and maybe his eyes seem to flash an unnatural neon blue for a moment.]

Go get a SensitIV.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He takes stock of the blue flash for a moment-- before grimly nodding, and warping out of there.]

[mind_blown]

[TIME TO GRAB ONE OF THE PEPS.

Who needs to show any emotion. Not this bat.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[It's not too long of a wait. He warps back with Sekhmet on his back, trying to shield her form the worst of the whiplash with his body. He sets her down next to the grisly beheaded wolf on the ground.]

Ta da...

[mind_blown]

[you don’t even get a thank you, his eyes just look more and more unearthly blue. Oops.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Awkwardly... stands around this corpse]

...Y'know your eyes are glowing?

[mind_blown]

Are they?

[he just sounds exasperated and tired.]

That’s new, then.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He shrinks like a scolded dog at the dull tone in Jason's voice.]

...It was the only thing I could think of t'end things fast.

[mind_blown]

Yeah, I know.

Doesn’t put me in a great place, though.

[he looks at him]

[gigadevilbreaker]

Sorry.

[He pauses, hesitating. Wanting to hug him but...

No, this wasn't the time. Too public, too complicated, and he was still drenched in his unitmate's blood.]

[mind_blown]

You're lucky she was fucking with all of us. And who knows, maybe she won't care at all what you did.

[and he looks away, rubbing his face, waiting for Sekhmet to heal.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

...Wait, she was what??

[mind_blown]

Eristic Cultivation.

On all of us.

Why d'you think I knocked Shrike out?

[gigadevilbreaker]

So she made me want to kill her.

And Shrike-- [He rubs his face. Yeah, Shrike getting the killvibes was VERY BAD. Nero pauses to breathe, in and out, calm.]

...Good. That's good.

[mind_blown]

She made you, yeah.

Pretty sure the Bad End powerset's one of the worst out there.

[he just never uses that part on him]

[gigadevilbreaker]

And us with just the most fuck-up-able brains.

[He sighs, none too happy, and starts to clean off his sword.]

Better me than Shrike.

[...More quietly, he adds,] Better them than you.

[mind_blown]

... Well, Shrike's fine aside from...

[a gesture at his face]

Whatever ends up happening to her.

[he tilts his head towards her.]

Y'might wanna check on her. I'll stick with them.

[nihilmancy]

[After checking on Shrike, she proceeds to kneel over their corpse and fleshcraft Sashay's body back together.]

[wonderlandgirl]

[After a moment or two Wednesday joins her, walking unsteadily over on bare feet.]

Thank you for helping us, Sekhmet-san.

[beautifulend]

[ corpse: reassembled

aware of (dead) monsterdog! ]

[wonderlandgirl]

[Well, that certainly is a dead berserker monsterdog.

[Are her powers even going to work on this creature? Well, probably, but Wednesday wonders about it for a moment all the same. She gets to her knees, resting a hand on the creature's still-warm flank, and thinks--

[--thinks, they're probably going to still be angry.]

Okay...

I don't normally like to do this without asking, but... maybe I should give them Cloud Nine first.

[worldlyafflictions]

I've had ta do it before. Ya have ta do it after though, as soon as their conscious. Everybody should be ready if it doesn't work, too, some berzerkers don't respond to it... [He's thinking of Glacies]
