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.

[There seems to be a lot of feelings going on around here.

(Gross.)

When the Hiryuu's sword pushes back against the blade, a little help from Polarity will rip it right out of Kohime's hands so it can clatter on the ground next to Intensity. Far out of Kohime (or Sabre's) reach.

Which leaves Hiryuu still armed with a sword but--- since it's a Heart Weapon and Hiryuu's a paladin, it shouldn't be able to hurt Kohime much if it connects. ... Probably.]

Wake up, Kohime.

[She staggers back, flinching, her expression all numb shock.

For Hiryuu, it's like a receding tide, all that violence and anger extinguishing and fading back into some deep, twisted scar -- old wounds that never quite healed right. There's also an odd tinge of something like regret at the loss –– it's so, so much easier to be angry, to shelter in rage and bitterness from all the things that are painful and frightening. It's safer.

And right after that, rapidly rising panic and fear and what just happened.

In time with that, her tail starts lashing and she makes a wordless, strangled noise of distress.]

[ The sword goes flying out of Kohime's hand, hurtling a few meters away before its blade catches in the dirt.

Then its form dissolves, leaving a certain member of BAD END in its place—though the crack-like scars across her body flicker with faint light that glows a recognizable shade of flame blue. A few of the cracks look unhealthily corroded with rust.

Hellfire pushes herself to her knees, and coughs. ]

[ Honestly, she's a Paladin; you didn't have to worry about her trying again once the sword is dislodged; her own weapon disappears in a lot of red and bronze glittering sparkles. Before she can properly flood Kohime with SYMPATHY AND COMPASSION likt she would like to--something truly unexpected happens.

WHOAH HEY THE SWORD BECAME A PERSON!!

Looking back and forth between Kohime and Hellfire like ??!!?!? ]

H-Hello?!
