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

[ Watching her anxiously for a second, her tail lashing a bit. ]

--Stop.

Whatever it is-- stop.

[purrrnicious]

[Looks up at her, tail flicking anxiously, then looking away.]

I––what? I'm not doing anything.

[hissterics]

You're thinking. I can tell.

[purrrnicious]

There's something wrong with thinking now?

[hissterics]

No. Just-- nevermind.

[ She curls up on herself a bit ]

. . . You didn't have to do that.

[ She could've died-- and it's a little unsettling how much that thought disturbs her. ]

[purrrnicious]

[She flinches, gaze flicking to Hiryuu briefly before settling elsewhere. She thinks Sabre's referring to the whole stabby-stabby incident.]

––You think I don't know that? It's not like I planned to bring that unit down on me!

[hissterics]

What? That's not--

[ She glances away, self-conscious, her cheeks coloring a little. ]

I meant trying to save me.

[purrrnicious]

[...Colouring a little, too.]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[hissterics]

[ . . . . . . ]







Thanks, though.

[purrrnicious]

[now let's never speak of it again]

You already knew what that sword was.

[hissterics]

. . . I fought with her before. Against these things.

[purrrnicious]

And it didn't. . .




It didn't mess with you? At all?

[hissterics]

It did.

[ she tried to stab ur unitmate but she's not gonna mention that specifically, ]

That's why-- I wanted people to separate us this time, once that thing was dead.

[purrrnicious]

[oh thank god it wasn't just her, but also]

––Then what were you thinking, using it again? There's no way you actually like someone messing with your head!

[hissterics]

Of course I don't! But you know why!

[purrrnicious]

No. I don't.

We win by being smarter and better than everyone else. All I saw was a mindless animal hacking at whatever was in reach.

[hissterics]

[ She curls up on herself more, because she knows Kohime is at least half right. But what comes out is still defensive. ]

We won, didn't we?

[purrrnicious]

So? Can you really say that's because of what you did? Or would we have won, anyway?

[hissterics]

None of us can say that.

But-- she's strong. I couldn't have done all that with just Zrael's useless mind game powers and some tasers.

[purrrnicious]

It's no more than if she picked up a sword herself and fought instead of. . .

Of–– [She struggles with what she wants to say a moment, clenching her fists.] ––Of. . . getting in your head.
