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.

[ 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!

For anyone who wishes to complain, we are at a convenience store! Arm yourself with shelves or cans, this will disable the beasts far more than it disables us!

[Look, Shu, it's your Guardian Angel-Vampire-Demon! Ren is flying by using her new wings to check on folks and stops when she hears Shu calling Common Law. Going to just pat his arm and grant him Get Hype!]

Here you go, Shu-san!

[Bye bye she's going to fly off again!]

—You have my gratitude!

[ OKAY, AND NOW TIME FOR THE AXE AGAIN.

ROLLS A 6 on pass/fail, due to Makes Perfect all hits following this will also be a success.

Damage roll: 5, In Solidarity for 5 (and then due to get hype, 5, 5) 1, (get hype, 1) 6, (get hype, 6) In Solidarity for 6, (get hype, 6)

Total damage: 46 ]

[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]

[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.]

[ Boy Talon also did not think through this landing strategy at all. It's all he can do to focus on the wire as it starts to change direction, waiting for the moment when it just starts to go slack at the start of a downswing to let go—

And it launches him into the air again as he changes back into a human boy with wings! At an unfortunate downward angle, so he's forced into an awkward running landing just in time to see Rye being accosted ]

—Get off of him!

[ He never stops moving, sprinting at the trio of beasts and drawing his pair of deadzone coated daggers to slash at them

[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]

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
hit 2 2 5 3, dmg 6 3 - total dmg 9
hit 6 1 3 2, dmg 3 5 - total dmg 9
hit 5 3 6 1, dmg 5 4 - total dmg 18

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.]

[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.]

[Ren lets out an angry snarl, eyes glowing red thanks to her new corruption, and fires off her entire clip of bullets into the 3 birds attacking Cobalt ([5d6 (5 3 5 3 3)]), successfully hitting 2 of the 3, before rounding on the ones attacking Thorn, using Quick as a Wink to fly forward with her new wings and slam herself into them and knock them loose so she can slash with her sword ([2d6 (4 5)], [3d6 (5 3 5)])]

[ Leviathan is going to focus on the creature trying to slash Cobalt then. Using his whip blade, he attacks full on, attempting to wrap the blade around it's neck and drag it down.

Hit: 3 FAIL
Hit: 3 FAIL

Mud boost and Damage total = 10 ]

[ throwing his knives as fast as he can—with Get Hype it's a lot of knives. it's pretty much just thrown at the General Directions of all the demons that he can so idk pick whichever ones they hit

Success, damage in bold: (4 4 5) (4 6 5) (5 5 2) (6 4 2) (6 4 5) (2 6 1) (4 3 5) (2 5 2) (1 5 6) (4 6 6) = 64 damage total.

Failed attack checks: 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2.

Total number of critical failures: 3

trying to part of your Property one of the demons while picking me apart Again another one for his last two moves as well ]

[ Shu institutes a common law to prevent further attacks from unarmed beasts! Thorn prepares to tear his way through these creatures—but they puff into miasma with very little effort, being baby, and he can redirect his attention to the giant creature. Cobalt prepares to attack the minions attacking him as well—but Ren is quick with her gun, leaving him open to join Thorn in taking the fight to the truest enemy.

Rye is able to destroy the critters attempting to maul him, and Duality manages to land enough of a hit on the one shrieking at him to poof it, too. Talon is prepared to assist, but with them so easily destroyed, he can safely attack the still-stunned giant.

Angel’s Peanut With Knife gets a little jab in at the enormous creature, followed by Levi, worse for the wear but still standing. And finally Lucifel unleashes a flurry of knives, and then pulls apart at its wounds, causing it to shriek and come apart at the seams—

...collapsing in another spray of green droplets. One more dodge check to make, but… it’s quiet. ]

[She got splashed once, never again. She manages to side-step the mess this time. (5)]
