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.

Comments

[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.

[gigadevilbreaker]

No, I should be here when they wake up. They're weird enough about death already...

[Like. He Killed, therefore he has to Deal With The Consequences Of Killing.]

1/2

[mind_blown]

[




knights.

he swears to christ.]

[mind_blown]

You can deal with whatever they wanna do 5 minutes after they wake up.

Just because they're weird about death doesn't mean you've got a right to be the first thing they see after they wake up.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Oh.

[Okay well. Nero will just... cast another glance at the body, then back away. He has been chided.]

[mind_blown]

[he waves him off.

come back later]

[nihilmancy]

[After, all of... that. It sounds like you sure had a time, Jason!]

Um, looks like you're having problems with your hearing, shall I take care of that?

[mind_blown]

[luckily he can read lips to account for muffled sounds.]

Yeah, thanks.

[nihilmancy]

Ah, warning. I may have to put my finger in your ear.

[mind_blown]

[



a pause.]

... Sure, why not. Might as well happen.

[the blood there is dried]

[nihilmancy]

[Fetching her medical kit, there's probably some kind of solution to flush out the ears so she grabs that.]

...This won't be pleasant, but neither was anything else recently. Sorry.

[mind_blown]

This isn't much of anything.

[especially since his eyes are taking on a distinctly blue glow.]

[nihilmancy]

Tilt your head. I need to wash out the blood first.

[mind_blown]

[he sighs, and does as asked-- keeping an eye on sashay, and that Nero and Shrike aren't coming near them]

[nihilmancy]

[Washes out his ears, I'm not gonna thread this all out. It feels weird.]
