IMPOCALYPSE
BATTLE MECHANICS
Note: characters that are heavily injured may acquire corruptions. There will be heavy maiming.
- 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.

BOSS REACTION
D.Va, on the other hand, manages to just tear a huge chunk out of its face. inside there's a hollow cavity with...some sort of human-like figure made of the same oozy fire smoke the imps are? Huh.
BOSS ACTION
The smoke wafts out from the sewer as well - it seems to move in broad strokes, painting the sky like a canvas. Everyone not in the sewers must roll 1d6 to resist the lungburning. D.va, on the other hand, is getting blasted straight in the chest by a piercing beam of pure, crisp, and delicious water, fired from the monster's head cavity. Water begins to flood the area once more - it looks like you just made it even angrier...also, there's some sick buttrock playing from the octopus now? What year is it, 2001?
PHASE 2 - BEGIN.

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
King shouts in alarm as he starts to fall, and quickly orders his aibou to catch him and return him to the surface.
But he loses a turn to the lung-burning smoke, coughing and hacking while he tries to suck in a breath. ]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
He takes a pained breath, and exhales coughing from lung burning smoke as he searches and grabs for his sword. with Izanagi's assist, he climbs out of the ravine for a heal, and with a word of thanks, dives back in to the sewer to attack that smoky tentacle]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
Grasping her chest she gasps and coughs unable to properly breathe. She can't feel it because Izanagi already took away her pain but that doesn't make breathing any easier. So she's gasping. But if she's done something before she can do it again even when she can't breathe.
Wheezing, she's making for the creature again.

The severed tentacles stop moving.

And in fact, everything goes silent.
Everything
goes
dark.
Re: BOSS REACTION
She'd like to ask but can't talk and honestly, she's still just kind of holding her chest and coughing up blood at the moment. She's leaning heavily on her weapon and trying to stay conscious. ]
BOSS ACTION
There is nothing left in this world.
The severed tentacles melt and dissipate, joining with the inky smoke in the sky - the smokefigure also dissipates, and the area continues flooding...flooding...flooding...flooding - until you are completely submerged in the dark sea. Certainly that's what it must be, even if you can still breathe...it's wet and cold here, freezing - and there's no light at all.
That is, until the gylphs painted in the sky by the octopus' ink begin to glow a blazing bright B̷̡̨̧̧̡̡̛̛̤̰͈̳̗̞͎͇̗̗̙̼̼̰̝̳̦̣̣̹̯͓͎̜̤̣͔̦̺̲͖̜̫̻͉̦̱͇̣͎̹̼̖̖̳̩̪̜͙͔̘̘͔̜̦͖͉̞̳͙̲̱̩̈̓̽̈́̈́͐̌̔͐̋̉͊̅͑͊͌͗͛̋͊̔͆̒̂̄̾̏̃̈́̄̄̇̑̾̌͊͆̓̊̾͂̑̈́̇̈́̀͋͐͂́̂̀̓͐̄̈̆͒͋̔̀̿̇̃͛͒̊̂͑͑̀̒̅̀́̉̆͑̋͗͂̐̕̕̕̕͘͜͜͝͠͝͠͝͠ͅL̸̢̨̨̧̢̧̧̢̢̡̧̛̛̛̲̱͎͕̠̣͎͎̫͙̺̦͙͕̹̗̱̫̤̫̭͎͙̣̻͎̙̠͇͇͖͎̣̖͙̞̺͙̝̥̺̥̙̘̻̩̙̗̣͚̺̦̤̥͚̠̻̱̲̞͓̦̗̱͙̳̱͔͍̲̪̭̞̤̯̰͓̖͙̘̭̯̼͇̹̱̪͈̝̫̳̯̜̪̣͈͌̅̓̿̄̎̀̂̅̍͊̿̆̒̓̑̓͋̄̄͑̍̏̒̍̌̈́̎̏̇̄̊̇͂̉̾̓͊͑͂̈́͐́̐̆̂̇̍̏̓̔͒̇́̋͗͛̊͆̿͛̐̇̊̑̓͐̓̏̈́̄̅̾̐̋̈́͋̿̃̉͗̽̀́̾̈́͌̍͌̊̄̏͂̐͛̀̍͋̎̇̄̍̅͋̿̓̌͛̈́͌͛̕̚̕͘̕͘̚̕͘̚͜͜͜͜͜͜͠͝͝͝͠͠͝͝͝ͅͅͅƯ̸̧̨̡̡̨̦̣̱̫̲͍̪̗̥͙̲̰͇̺͕̼̤͖̟̟̺̪͕͕̻̤̫̣̝͒̇̉̈́͋́̃̎̋̓̓̌͆̊͌̀͗̈́̃̄̉̿̋̌̍̽̈́̄̒̾̋̎͊̔̀̀̍̽́͋̆̅͑͑̌̾̓̀̊̿̿̎͒̓͗̎͒̓͐̓́͒̏̔̃̂͒̏̌̑̃̈́̄̀̾̈́̍̾̌̅͌̃͛͌͐̽͐̄̓̍̄̋̌̂̀̇̀̏̊́̊͊̌̉͑̀̓̄͌̄̀͑́͒͛͑̕͘͘̚͜͝͠͝͝͝͝͠͠͝͠E̶̢̡̧̢̧̡̡̡̢̡̨̛̛̳͍̬̮̻̥̺͚͓̻̫͕̪̺̖̘̹̼̲͈̺͚̫̻̺̗͚͓̣̝̮̭̲͕̥͇̳̼͙̺͈͉̜͈͔̣̮̦̱̣͎̟̰̺̹̲͉̙͎̹̣̗̝͍̙̘̫̫͍̟̼̮̝̜͖̭͇͙͚̝͔̝͖̪̘͎̞̦͎̳̠̼̣̰̦̺͎̪̠̣̥̞̜̜̟͕̺͉̫͙̞̞̼̯̥̹̦̦̹̫͇̙͕̼̦̘̱͚̺̣̩̘̙̼͐̈́̈́͆̀̈́͋̇̐͂͒̉͒̓̈́̏͑͋̃̿̀͐͜͜ͅͅ - the figures painted in the sky are almost incomprehensible, constantly shifting, and painful to look at, but they illuminate the area as if you were floating in the void of space.
You don't float, here. You're simply underwater - still in the city with your feet on the ground, but leagues beneath the sea. Deep, deep, deep down below, where nobody can hear you.
Nobody will ever hear you again.
The color here isn't merely dark blackness - it's something that pierces your soul. The sort of thing that threatens to tear you apart and make you as if you never existed - a dark orb of it seems to separate from the background and attaches to D.va, and immediately begins burning away at her. Not just her flesh, but her thoughts and mind and self. It is painful, and as it happens her mind is flooded with images of NOTHING.
The tentacles are still here, too - but nearly inperceptible and much faster now, in their natural environment.
The hands vicegrip Senpai, Horizon, Gladio, and Ordine, dragging them further into the void - out towards where the bay used to be.
For everyone else, the scenery seems to melt - drops of the black ooze drip everywhere, from every direction, but always towards the idols.
And the whole time, the words echo in your mind:
Never forget,
that when you feel happiness or joy,
it will never last long.
All things expire in the end. All things return to null.
When day is bright,
alway rember horrible night.

Not even rolling for this, he's frozen as his absolute worst possible nightmare comes true. ]
Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
The grip the hands have on him immediately give him the impression that he's not going to be able to escape by wriggling. Not that he knows where he could even escape to in the piercing darkness, but he's not the type to just sit by idly. And he's still got a firm grip on his double saber so he does the only thing he can.
He attacks.

well-- that's a 1 to avoid getting covered in the ooze.
She's definitely way more than a little worried, now-- she tries her best to track the movement of those tentacles and swing for them when she can.

His fingers spasm, right hand on cold metal. He’s still gripping the hilt of his sword. Gladio was fighting this. He can still fight this. Was there a point to fighting this? But Gladio’s always been stubborn…
He activates Bzzt, sparks of electricity arcing through his greatsword. Is it arcing through him, too? Gladio can’t feel it.
He stabs the tentacle holding him]

Re: PLAYER (RE)ACTION
She's just. Sort of frozen though with all of this. She can't feel pain but she can feel the terror of what surrounds them.
And the fact that she still. can't. breathe.
Blood drips down her chin but she uses Makes Perfect to go again. She can do it... she can do it even if she feels as though she's about to black out and things are going blurry.
