☣ Total time: 4.5 hours ish
When rolling dice:
IMPORTANT! Please use Dice Parser instead of Nadeko, because if you're rolling more than one die Nadeko sorts the results, which messes with gameplay mechanics.
How to roll: !(# of dice)d(# of sides on die) (i.e. !2d6 - to roll two six-sided dice)
Round Overview (Cheat sheet):
1) Zombies spawn
2) Idols' turn
3) Zombie idols' turn
4) NPC zombies' turn
5) Move to next location if applicable
General Stats
☣ No powers and no items except for what will be given to you.
☣ Hellphones are stuck in the flashlight app.
☣ All idols have 2 HP and can attack up to two times per round (unless your weapon states otherwise).
☣ All zombies have 1 HP, though some are harder to kill than others. For a normal zombie, 4+ on a 1d6 is a success. For special zombies, 5+ on a 1d6 is a success.
☣ Normal zombies will attack twice per round. Special zombies attack once per round but if they do a crit hit against an idol (6), the idol will immediately die.
☣ When idols die, they may become an idol zombie (depending on if they opted in during sign-up). Rules on idol zombies are below.
The Initial Round (Round 0):
In the initial round, idols will have two options: 1) stay where they are and wait for help to arrive or 2) attempt to make it to the helipad they see in the distance. Every idol can make this choice individually (i.e. 2 idols can choose to leave and 3 idols can choose to stay). However, once this choice is made, the idol must stick to it for the entire game.
Choice 1: Bunker in and wait until help arrives
The idols that remain have fortified their starting location. The door now has HP equal to the number of idols (i.e. 4 idols means 4 HP). Idols must survive four rounds of zombie attacks to escape.
Choice 2: Make a break to the helipad
At the end of each round. idols will get to choose where to go next and, like before, each idol can make this decision individually. Good news: you might be able to meet other idols to help you out. Bad news: they might have a zombie horde on their heels. Idols must make it to the helipad and survive to escape.
Round Breakdown
1) Zombies spawn
For every living idol (zombie idols do not count), up to two zombies may spawn. At the beginning of the round, the runners will update the list of zombies in the area.
2) Idols' Turn
Every round, idols may attack up to two times. Please determine which zombies idols are attacking before rolling (i.e. don't retrofit to a special zombie if you roll a 5), and then reply to the turn-in with which zombies were targeted and the dice roll. Attacks will be executed based on turn-in order. If the zombie the idol was targeting dies in a previous turn-in and the attack roll is successful, an equivalent zombie will be targeted.
If an idol zombie is targeted, they are allowed to defend. Please see the next section on idol zombies for more details.
An idol may also choose to hold their action until after the zombie idols go. That means an idol can choose to take their action after all zombie idols go.
Example:
☣ There are three zombies: normal zombie A, normal zombie B, normal zombie C, and special zombie D.
☣ D.Va turns in first with a roll of a 6 against normal zombie A and 4 against normal zombie B.
☣ Zhongli turns in second with a roll of 5 against normal zombie A and 1 against special zombie D.
☣ D.Va kills normal zombie A and normal zombie B.
☣ Zhongli kills normal zombie C (even though he was aimed at A) because that is the closest equivalent. If only special zombie D existed, he would kill special zombie D since he rolled a 5 which is strong enough to kill a special zombie.
3) Zombie Idols' Turn
A zombie idol may attack up to two times. A zombie idol may attack either an idol or another idol zombie (grudges are allowed to linger in undeath).
Each attack will have an attack and defense component. The zombie idol will roll an 1d6 to attack and the target will defend with 1d6. Higher numbers wins. If there is a tie, reroll. Zombie idols can also do critical hits.
If a special item is thrown against idols or zombie idols, then the player throwing the item will roll a 1d6. Same rules as above apply - each character attacked will need to roll higher than that number to defend. If it's a tie, the attacked character will reroll unless it's a 6. They will successfully defend if they match a 6 with a 6.
3.a) Zombie Idols' Turn [REDACTED]
There may be a time when a zombie idol does an action that would cause an ic reaction (i.e. kills their unitmate). In this instance, an idol may choose to retcon their previous action and react to the zombie idol action instead. This is for rule of fun and to allow a little pvp in a turn-based system. If you do this, please ping a runner and we'll record the new action as soon as we're able.
4) NPC Zombies' Turn
All normal zombies may attack twice per round and a 4+ on a 1d6 is a success.
All special zombie may attack once per round and a 4+ on a 1d6 is a success and a 6 is a critical hit. Any idol who is hit by a critical hit will lose 2 HP.
If a zombie is attacking an idol that will die from an attack (excluding a critical hit), an idol at full health (2 HP) may choose to cover and take that damage. The penalty for the protecting idol is that they will only have one action next turn instead of two. If an idol is at 1 HP or the attack is a critical hit, the idol is too slow to prevent the attack. In other words, an idol cannot die protecting another idol.
5) Move to next location if applicable
If the idol is going toward the helipad, choose the next location the idol is going to. As before, each idol makes this choice individually. If the idols have not killed all of the zombies in the area, they will follow.
Winning teams will be determined based on the following criteria:
☣ Three teams will win for number of rounds survived (averaged across team)
☣ One individual will win for number of zombies killed (carrying the team)
☣ One team will win for number of zombies killed (averaged across team)
This game will consist of:
☣ One 30-minute Round 0

If the idol is going toward the helipad, choose the next location the idol is going to. As before, each idol makes this choice individually. If the idols have not killed all of the zombies in the area, they will follow.
[ You open your eyes to a dark and dim space. Ragged mattresses are pushed into the corner farthest away from the boarded windows and half-broken door. The air is tense, hairs prickling on the back of your neck as you hear the sounds of multiple somethings slow and lumbering through the streets just outside this cramped space. ]
[ The wall across from you is littered with messages of past occupants: ]
[ You could stay here. Given some time, the door looks reinforceable with bits of the available broken lumber and heavy objects that can be used as barricades. The snap ċ̶̟̻̓̄͌r̴̮͙̭̪̚a̵̼̳͚̔͝ͅc̷̢̻̯͗̏̄̅k̵͉̤̓̕ͅĺ̴̡͎͘ȇ̷̱̥̯͌͛̕ pop of a radio on the nightstand indicates that it's usable and might just reach ther life in the city. ]
[ Or. ]
[ You could run. Through the dimming sunlight streaming in through the high windows, you glimpse a structure in the distance. A large tall building with twinkling red LED lights and the outline of a large military vehicle. A helipad and a helicopter. In fact, just as you look out the window you see one of the helicopters take off, heading away from the city. ]
[ Stay or make a break for it - the choice is yours. But don't take too long to decide. The groaning and shambling of whatever is outside stutter and turn, now coming in the direction of your shelter. ]
A non-magical ranged weapon of your choice ( e.g. like a pistol or a bow ) that you may cosmetically customize however you like. Keep in mind that no matter what you imagination cooks up it's still only ever going to be capable of hitting a single target, performing a single shot, and dealing a single point of damage.
A non-magical melee weapon of your choice ( e.g. a frying pan, a spiked bat, an ornate sword, a bass guitar, a chainsaw, etc ). Like with the ranged weapon this decision just affects your character's IC style & aesthetic - cool/silly depending on personal preference - and the weapon, itself, is only ever going to be capable of hitting a single target, performing a single strike, and dealing a single point of damage.

Each idol should reply here with one of the following choices:
☣) Barricade here and try to use the radio to call for help
☣) Make your way down the left alley, leading towards the mall
☣) Make your way down the right alley, leading towards the conbini

[Was anything but 'gun' ever an option?']
[Oh, wait there is a second option. He will take a second gun because whenever Vergil shows up he will just take two melee weapons. Is that street legal?]

[Well if Emet's taking two guns then there's an extra melee weapon right, so he can just take two swords?? Or just one sword no ranged weapon. But ideally two swords.]
You going to make your move or no?

[Pats his shoulder and points at the other two. Look we have 'Violence 1' and 'Violence 2'. Should be fine.]
The mall seems too large and with too many places to hide. Also mannequins abound that would look like zombies. I believe the conbini would be a better choice. It probably at least has bandages.

Tell me you know what tic tac toe is...
As if I could stop you if you saw a zombie on the other side of that door. You would be heartbroken. We might as well take the offensive.
