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.

Re: END

[hissterics]

[ Laughing and laughing and laughing even as the laughter turns to choking and coughing, raw-sounding an unpleasant, looking down on the remnants of the beast. ]

See? You were too weak!

[ For Hiryuu, the bloodlust is still coming through the bond even though the battle is over. ]

Re: END

[purrrnicious]

[See but now the Avante one is here, too, and she curls one arm around Sabre's waist, propping her up as the coughing fit takes her, leaning into her. Her other hand is in a vice-grip around the sword hilt with Sabre's, fingers tangled with hers, and she leans in and breathes in her ear.]

Awwww, you're not done yet~~~~. There's still more and more and more and more to crush.

Let them see. Let them see what we'll do~ I know you can.

Re: END

[hissterics]

[ Nuzzling against Kohime when she leans close, tail tangling with hers, her fingers white-knuckled on Hellfire's hilt. ]

That's right, that's right~ I wonder if they can take it? Are they weak too~?

[ Her eyes slowly shift onto whoever is nearby

This Is Fine ]

Re: END

[purrrnicious]

[She gives her own light, unhinged laughter that goes on just a little too long and then shifts her gaze to the same person, mirroring Sabre's expression exactly.]

Re: END

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He lifts his chin a little - fixes his gaze on the good catte, ignoring Kohime]

[He looks like he... honestly shouldn't be alive right now, much less standing. But hey, Heroes Never Die, and a promise is a promise]

...hey. C'mon, dude. Put that thing down.

I said, right? Things go sideways, I got your back.

Re: END

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ choking is bad, but at least when you're a zombie, you don't die from it. it just. you know. kind of settles in and becomes part of you, or something. more than her own pain and the pain and distress from other people on the bond, though--she's very concerned about this blood lust of Sabre's that hasn't stopped even though their enemy is gone.

the concern that comes with genuine care and love--well. that's going to hit sabre right back. ]

Sabre? What's happened to you?

Re: END

[soulcarve]

[ Filtering through the bond, there's someone else—not Sabre.
But whoever they are, they're all inhuman bloodlust and joy and something like a͈̖̝̯n͇̯̭̰͖͟n̛̠̟̫̯̪i̘̫͕͎͞h͇̠̱͕̫il̲͎a̹͔̠t̫i̭̙̮͍̞on͔̮̭.

Hiryuu has seen D.va berserk before—and if anything, it's most similar to that, but without the animal element. ]

Re: END

[unbr8kable]

[cats??? honestly doesn't see anything different from normal]

...Anyways, let's go, someone should prolly get Lance out the middle of the street before any more demon shit shows up.

Re: END

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Don't mind him. It takes him a bit to come over as he's nursing probably a couple broken ribs.

He just looks from one cat to the other.




Wait a minute.]

I thought you two hated each other.

[Guess who never got that memo]

Re: END

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ well after receiving this mind-to-mind feelings broadcast ]

... There's something in there with her. Something not... Sabre.

Re: END

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yeah, I've seen this before.

It's the sword.

Re: END

[soulcarve]

[ Indeed, as soon as Sabre is shoved away from the sword, the feeling cuts out entirely, leaving only Sabre herself on the bond. ]

Re: END

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ the monster is taken care of, but he can't stop just yet—he has one more promise to take care of. ]

Sabre!

[ while everyone else is busy voicing their concern, friendship, or confusion over the cat alliance, Man Eater kicks off the ground with his still-speed-boosted legs, bodily tackling Sabre to the ground to forcibly make her let go of the sword. ]

1/2

[hissterics]

[ Sabre's maddened expression -- flickers at Hurricane's words, and Hiryuu's surge of feeling, and for a moment she just looks confused -- but then Hellfire's power grips her again and she returns to her feral smile. It isn't quite a laugh this time, the ash wracking her lungs and leaving only a ragged, rattling sound behind. ]

Re: END

[hissterics]

[ -- And then Manny follows through on his promise (good boy) and bodily shoves her out of the cat-sword tangle. She hits the ground with a pained cry, ears immediately pinning flat as she struggles to breathe through her wrecked lungs. ]

Re: END

[purrrnicious]

[Staggering back, her tail lashing, though the manic, almost thoughtless expression doesn't leave her face.]

Oh.

Re: END

[hissterics]

[ Her tail curls against Manny -- grateful -- but she immediately pushes herself up on her elbows, returned to normal. Hiryuu will feel a brief pang of relief followed by realization and then PANIC. ]

Kohime!

[ No no no no NO ]

Get Hellfire away from her!

Re: END

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ relieved to see that Sabre is back to normal, he tries to push himself up back up to take care of the remaining immediate problem. unfortunately, the poison is starting to take a toll on him, and he stops, coughing and hacking up a bit of blood.

he looks back at everyone else who has and crowded around and yells: ]

Someone get—[ hack ]—the sword!

Re: END

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Once Kohime is disarmed, he's coming over to Izumu]

Not so fast, champ.

Re: END

Re: END

[purrrnicious]

Worthless. Weak. I'll show you how to make this blade sing~

[Drawing back the blade and –– I mean. Sabre's closest, really, so if she wants to ~paint the town red~ it's only practical to start there. But for whatever reason, she doesn't, turning instead and pushing off on a foot to launch herself at Hiryuu, moving like she wasn't just tossed around by a gigantic Hell demon. As soon as she's in range, she brings the blade across her body in a vicious slash, all brute mindless violence, no strategy or skill to it.]

/?

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Perhaps it's because--she also has a sword? Or maybe because her hair is red like blood? Who knows, it doesn't really matter why so much as the what--

and that what is now Kohime burying the cursed sword between her neck and shoulder. Hiryuu staggers under the force of the blow, knees threatening to buckle, blood--gushing, quite frankly. Belatedly, she thinks--it would have been a really good choice to have been Henshined for this.

Oops. ]

Re: END

[hissterics]

[ No no no no no.

She staggers to her feet and then immediately falls over again, gasping for air. ]

No!

[ Through the bond there's -- panic and fear and guilt, this wasn't supposed to happen to Kohime, this wasn't supposed to happen to Hiryuu, they had a plan-- ]

/out of 2, people are itching to go.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ But at least Heroes Never Die was always on.

She reaches with her hands to clutch at Kohime's wrist and locks her fingers around the hand holding the sword into her body. As hot, red blood seeps around her rather sizable wound--she activates Buddy System yet again, small, red dragon coils up and around her wrist.

SURPRISE, there is--deep concern for her waiting on the other side, as well as a surprising (well, maybe to kohime) amount of respect for her fellow combatant, not to mention the terrible, agonizing pain that Kohime is putting her through. Distantly, she can hear Sabre screaming (and probably Hurricane too--and their horror--and Kohime gets to feel her affection for them, too... as well as gentle care and reassurance and determination directed toward her. ]

You don't need to do this. Drop the sword, Kohime.

[ her grip is not very tight, unfortunately--so kohime is free to pull away or to take another swing or go for someone else. ]
