Trespassers V2: Tales of the Masks [IC]

[DragonRage]

A loud, ominous buzzing fills the air, seeming to come from every direction at once.

 

"The Nui-Rama!  Oh no!"  Nuparu shouts, diving for his throwing disks and tossing the other sack to Hahli.

 

"Why would you do that?" The Ga-matoran asks Tsubasa in shock and dismay, "You just RANG THE DINNER BELL for every hungry predator within a kio!  I just hope a Muaka doesn't show up."  The two Matoran ready their weapons as the first enormous dragonfly enters the light cast by the campfire, rusted, pitted masks covering its eyes.

With a lot of cursing and a beyond pissed look at Tsubasa, Travis is the last to enter the tank, the rest of his crew having been in better position to both enter and act. He gives the order to turn on the threat and Fire the Machine Guns, forcing the bugs to attack him.

Cell dashes over to a tent and retrieves Giant Killer and his own disk, before heading back to meet the group.  As he made his way back the smoking image of a laughing skull appeared over him and by the time he reached the group he was out of breath and visibly bleeding.  He sluggishly hefted his sword and moved it to try and block oncoming attackers.

 

Cell prepares to Parry the Nui-Rama's attack should they make one.  If an attack is Parried this way he'll follow up with a counter for (7d10+12)+15% and an additional +50% on Elite/Boss enemies.

 

Aura of Laceration activates!  Causing any enemies who target Cell with a melee attack will take 12 slashing damage.

[Unlurking Sentinel]

"Oh, seven hells!"

Just how many of us called to fight trespassers are either creatures of darkness, those who resemble creatures of darkness, and/or those sworn to kill all creatures of darkness?!

He cast the Doom Cloak from his still-open bag and towards the rest of the group. "Here, it bestows a small amount of power! Take it if you wish!" Then, with the Stardust Rod still in his hand, he commanded forth ice aether into a solid block in front of the swarm, shattering upon impact. With nary a moment to pause, he flicked the staff once more and a bright incinerating explosion manifested in the swarm!

 

Cicivexa activated the Mask of Vision as a free action (giving all of his attacks this round perfect accuracy), and took stock of how many enemies were approaching, as well as which ones he could target.

Cicivexa casts Blizzard I, dealing (10d6+21)*3/8 ice damage (with a 28% chance to crit for 2x damage) to one of the Nui-Ruma. He gains Umbra for the next 3 turns!

Cicivexa uses Swiftcast I to cast Flare I, dealing (5d6+19)/2 fire damage (with a 28% chance to crit for 2x damage) to four of the Nui-Ruma. He gains Astra for the next 1 turn! Umbra's duration is lowered by 1 turn.

Perks:

Astral Cycle: Cicivexa can tap into the aetheric cycle that that defined the dynasties of his homeland. Whenever he casts a Fire Spell, he gains the Astra effect for one turn, boosting the damage of his next Fire Spell by 10%. This damage boost does not stack with itself. Whenever he casts a Blizzard Spell, he gains the Umbra effect for 3 turns, enabling the ability to cast certain spells, frequently Fire Spells.

 

Swiftcast: Grants the Swiftcast action.

 

Firestarter: All attacks have a critical chance equal to INT*2%, dealing 2x damage on a critical hit. 

 

Magick and Mend: All attacks that scale off of some amount of INT scale off of the same amount of SYN. For example, if an attack deals INT/2 damage on its own, it now deals INT/2+SYN/2 damage. The -50% penalty to buffs on AOE spells still applies. Does not apply to non-damage effects.

Thunder I: Cooldown of 4 turns. Deals WD*0.5 lightning damage, and applies one stack of "Thundercloud" on the target for 3 turns. Can only be cast under Umbra.

Whenever someone under the Thundercloud effect uses an ability with a cooldown or charging time, the effect is consumed and Cicivexa can make a free action weapon attack next round (unless he is unable to act). He cannot gain more than one free action per turn via Thundercloud. This weapon attack deals lightning damage instead of the original element.

 

Swiftcast I: Perk-backed, Free Action, Cooldown of 3 turns. Allows Cicivexa to use an additional Action (of minimum Action Level of 3), at -2 Action Levels.

 

Manaward I: Once per encounter. The next two attacks targeting Cicivexa do not deal damage to him.

"Motherfu-!" Hikari yells as she spotted the bugs out of the corner of her eye.

 

Hikari's dispersal slash activates as she disappeared into the same blood red particles. She appeared behind one of bugs, bringing her hands down in a hard downward slashing motion.

[Chevaleresse]

"I lured out the bloodsucking beasts." Tsubasa actually re-sheathed her sword as the monsters made their appearance, reassessing the situation once more. Judging by the lack of crazed bloodlust on the part of the group she'd just met, they likely weren't demons, which meant she could fall into the usual routine. She took up a ready stance, not unlike that of a sprinter. "Lightning Breathing: Third Form." For a moment, it almost seemed as if bluish arcs of lightning formed around her, before she suddenly leapt through the air, placing herself firmly between the monsters and the smaller people running for cover with a sound like cracking thunder. "Sky-Splitting Flash!" 

 

Sky Splitting Flash, targeting Halhi and Nuparu.

Perks:
Total Concentration Breathing: The bread and butter of a Demon Slayer. This technique allows one to harness the strength of one's breath and fight on par with demons. Allows Tsubasa to use their Constitution as an attacking stat in place of Dexterity, Strength, or Synergy.
 
Yin & Yang (Level 2): Tsubasa's fighting style emphasizes moving with the flow of battle, attack moving into defense and defense into attack when the time is right. They have a Yin and Yang meter, that start at zero and progressively fill. Every attack increases Yin by one, and every supportive action increases Yang by one. Yang also increases on turns an attack was received. These can be used to perform more powerful techniques. Whenever they are spent, the opposite gauge increases by the same amount. Each gauge is capped at 8 points. Resets to 0 after each battle.
 
Action & Reaction: When Tsubasa is attacked, they gain a stack of "Reaction." If two or more stacks of Reaction are present, Tsubasa expends all stacks to take an extra action on their next turn.
 
Flaw: Breathless: Tsubasa has not mastered the art of using Total Concentration Breathing full-time, and thus suffers the ill effects of stopping the technique. They have an additional "Breath" gauge that starts equal to their CON. Whenever Tsubasa uses an ability with a cooldown or gauge requirement, they lose half of that requirement (rounded down, but minimum 1) from this gauge. They lose the ability to act when this gauge is empty. Debuff cleanses restore Breath equal to the number of debuffs they would normally remove. Resets to 0 after each battle.

Actions: 18/18
 
First Form: Bolt from Blue Skies: A sword technique that emulates a sudden flash of lightning from a previously calm sky. Deals double damage, plus additional [DEX] damage, to a single target. Not usable if user has already attacked this encounter.
-Level 1: Double weapon damage. Only usable if user has not attacked yet.
-Level 2: Adds user DEX to the damage. If the attack is a DEX attack, add CON instead.
 
Second Form: Eye of the Storm: A breath technique that finds calm in chaos. Increases damage resistance by the user's Yin gauge for the remainder of the battle. Can be used again to double the resistance for a turn. Calculated off of user's Yin when they take damage, not when they use the move.
-Level 1: When activated, increases the user's damage resistance by their Yin gauge for 3 turns. If the gauge increases, so does the resistance.
-Level 2: Now permanent after use, but does not stack with itself.
-Level 3: Can be activated again to double the resistance for one turn.
 
Third Form: Sky-Splitting Flash: A technique that launches the user in a direction at high speed, allowing gaps to be closed quickly. Tsubasa uses this to interpose herself between allies and foes. Intercepts 2+[Yin spent] attacks on targeted allies, carries over between turns.
-Level 1: Intercepts the next attack on target ally. Can spend Yin to increase the number of attacks intercepted this turn.
-Level 2: Intercepts carry over between turns.
-Level 3: Intercepts can now target multiple allies.
-Level 4: Intercepts an additional attack.
 
Fifth Form: Chain Lightning: Channels a destructive flow of energy, jumping from victim to victim along the path of least resistance. Costs 5 Yang. Attacks 3 times, targeting the nearest enemy in initiative to the original target for followups. Can hit the same enemy twice.
-Level 1: Attacks an enemy for [weapon] damage, then attacks the enemy nearest them for the same until 3 attacks have been performed.
-Level 2: Can retarget the same enemy once, if there are no other valid targets.
 
Sixth Form: Sweeping Current Surge: A strenuous, rapid stream of slashes that baffle, buffet, and cripple, striking multiple enemies at once. Costs 5 Yin. Deals [CON] damage to an enemy and each one above and below it in initiative, then reduces their damage by the same amount for 2 turns.
-Level 1: Select a target. To it and each enemy above and below it in initiative, deal [CON] damage. The victims have their damage reduced by the damage they take from this for 2 turns.
 
 
Seventh Form: Perfect Flow: A difficult technique requiring perfect balance and clarity. The user evades incoming attacks with an absolute minimum of motion, then strikes home while the target is exposed. Requires both Yin and Yang gauges to be full. One round cooldown. Dodges an attack from an enemy, then deals the maximum possible damage of the incoming attack plus a normal attack.
-Level 1: Choose an enemy. Dodge the first attack from that enemy, then deal damage to that enemy equal to the maximum damage of that attack plus the maximum damage of a zero-requirement attack.
 

Equipment & Tricks:

Nichirin Sword: One of the few instruments capable of slaying a demon for good. Infused with sunlight, these weapons are infallible if wielded properly - but beware the incautious strike. They change colors based on the wielder. Tsubasa's blade takes on a vibrant blue scheme with a tendency to catch and reflect the light. Weight 3. Deals 4d6+DEX damage
-Level 1: Deals 1d6+DEX damage.
-Level 2: If an enemy takes extra damage from light or sun based attacks, they take extra damage from this weapon.
-Level 3: Enemies killed with this weapon cannot be revived. This effect may partially fail (based on GM discretion) on stronger enemies.
-Level 4: 2d6 damage.
-Level 5: 3d6 damage.
-Level 6: 4d6 damage.

Toa Heartlight (Untyped)

The ancient mechanisms of the Toa Canister have transformed you into a creature of Bionicle! But without a source of elemental power, only some of its features have been unlocked.

Grants +2 damage reduction and +2 to a stat chosen when equipped.
Cannot be unequipped at this time.
Deals 5% of your MHP in nonlethal pure damage to you each round until you pass out.
Self-damage can be negated if you wear a Kanohi Mask of Power.

 

Matoran Kanohi Mask

This artifact allows beings of Bionicle to properly control and contain their powers. Without one, even the mightiest Toa can be humbled. Some masks can also grant special powers, but these do not. They are enough to keep you alive and healthy, though.

Can be knocked off by a critical hit, requiring a round to recover and put back on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[DragonRage]

Edmond uses Quick Tune Up, restoring 15 HP to Cell at lightning speed!  He pays 13 HP to do this, and then regenerates 7.

 

Cell activates his Aura of Laceration, and prepares to parry.

 

Tsubasa uses Sky Splitting Flash, and prepares to defend Hahli and Nuparu.

 

Hikari activates her Blood Barrier, and uses Dispersal Slash on a Nui-Rama, dealing 32 damage!  The Nui-Rama is not deterred!

 

The Nui-Rama Swarm attacks everyone twice with their stingers!  As she is bleeding and smells delicious, Tsubasa takes two additional attacks!  Each attack deals 8 damage!  Cell counters and strikes back, dealing 27 damage!  Cell's Aura of Laceration triggers!  The Nui-Rama are not deterred!  One of the Nui-Rama falls with a crunch of buckling chitin!  Tsubasa blocks one of the attacks aimed at each of the matoran!  Hikari's blood barrier blocks the stings!  Edmond, Travis, and Nuparu take reduced damage due to their armor!  Natural Armor reduces damage all around!

 

Travis fires his machine gun, hitting 4 Nui-Rama for 5 damage each!  They must attack him next turn!  One of the Nui-Rama spins out of control, its wings savaged by bullets and Cell's Aura, and slams face-first into a tree before collapsing to the ground in a heap.

 

A roar echoes across the jungle, sounding rather like Godzilla ate an air raid siren and it got stuck in his throat.  The Nui-Rama somehow look nervous upon hearing this...

 

Gozer and Cap fling caltrops!  This would ordinarily be of no use against flying enemies, but as the Nui-Rama come in to attack, three of them get spiked by the caltrops, reducing their initiative!

 

Cicivexa fires his blizzard, dealing 19 damage and reducing the Nui-Rama Swarm's initiative to 0!  Cicivexa gains Umbra for 3 rounds!  Using his Swiftcast, he then fires Flare, dealing 21 damage to 4 of them!  The Nui-Rama shy away from the flames, but one of them, slowed by the ice, is unable to escape and catches fire instead.  Its thin wings swiftly burn away, and it crashes to the ground, a smoldering corpse.

 

Hahli throws a war disk, dealing 8 damage!  One of the Nui-Rama scorched by Cicivexa is hit in the arm, causing it to go limp!  Buzzing in distress, the injured insectoid flies off into the night, clutching its disabled arm!  "What was that cry?" She wonders, "I've never heard or heard of a Rahi which sounded like that."

 

Nuparu loads a war disk into his launcher...  "Oh joy, a new species," He grumbles, "When I said I wanted to die for science, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind."

 

A light appears high in the sky, thin, cross-hatched lines glowing cherry red.  They aren't bright enough to illuminate whatever it is, or even reveal its shape, but they make it clear that something is up there.  Something big and flying.  And glowing.  That's probably not a good sign.

[Unlurking Sentinel]

"Yes, it is quite clear what you did, Sanada. Why you did it, however, remains a mystery." Cicivexa was about to unleash another Flare when the massive flying beast approached. Sadly, the Kanohi Akaku possessed no night vision, so he was just as unable to discern its features as the rest of the group, but it was clear that this would be the real fight compared to the Nui-Rama. It could render him a stain on the dirt the moment it turned its attention toward him, so he recognized that the best course of action would be self-protection.

 

Cicivexa cast Manaward, negating the damage of the next two attacks targeted at him!

Perks:

Astral Cycle: Cicivexa can tap into the aetheric cycle that that defined the dynasties of his homeland. Whenever he casts a Fire Spell, he gains the Astra effect for one turn, boosting the damage of his next Fire Spell by 10%. This damage boost does not stack with itself. Whenever he casts a Blizzard Spell, he gains the Umbra effect for 3 turns, enabling the ability to cast certain spells, frequently Fire Spells.

 

Swiftcast: Grants the Swiftcast action.

 

Firestarter: All attacks have a critical chance equal to INT*2%, dealing 2x damage on a critical hit. 

 

Magick and Mend: All attacks that scale off of some amount of INT scale off of the same amount of SYN. For example, if an attack deals INT/2 damage on its own, it now deals INT/2+SYN/2 damage. The -50% penalty to buffs on AOE spells still applies. Does not apply to non-damage effects. 

 

Flaw:

Enochian Dependency: If neither Astra nor Umbra was active in the previous two turns, -50% damage dealt. 

 

Actions and Equipment: 7/7

Blizzard I: Deals WD*0.75 ice damage, and also deals INT Initiative Reduction.  Is a Blizzard spell.

 

Flare III (Level 7): Deals WD+2d6 fire damage to 4 different targets. Is a Fire Spell. Can only be cast while under Umbra. Lowers the duration of Umbra by one turn.

Flare I (Level 5): Deals WD+2 fire damage.

 

Thunder I: Cooldown of 4 turns. Deals WD*0.5 lightning damage, and applies one stack of "Thundercloud" on the target for 3 turns. Can only be cast under Umbra.

Whenever someone under the Thundercloud effect uses an ability with a cooldown or charging time, the effect is consumed and Cicivexa can make a free action weapon attack next round (unless he is unable to act). He cannot gain more than one free action per turn via Thundercloud. This weapon attack deals lightning damage instead of the original element.

 

Swiftcast I: Perk-backed, Free Action, Cooldown of 3 turns. Allows Cicivexa to use an additional Action (of minimum Action Level of 3), at -2 Action Levels.

 

Manaward I: Once per encounter. The next two attacks targeting Cicivexa do not deal damage to him.

Stardust Rod Zenith: Casts the Scathe spell, dealing 5d6+INT (+SYN due to Enhanced Black Magic) non-elemental damage. Lowers Initiative by 5-Strength.
 

Felt Sash: Increases Initiative by 6.
 

Toa Heartlight: +2 Damage Reduction, +2 INT, 5% MHP damage every turn without a Kanohi Mask equipped. Creates an additional action slot, exclusively useable for a Kanohi mask.

|-> Kanohi Akaku (Mask of Vision): Lets you see through anything less dense than solid lead, though you can still tell whether you’re looking through something. Has a telescopic zoom lens. Activate the mask as a free action to ignore dodge and miss chances/effects for 1 round. 3 round cooldown.

[StormLord]

Cell takes a breath as the giant stinging bug lunge and swipe around.  He reaches into the bag of grenades he lugs around and pull out a cylindrical one with a copper colored top and black base, not dissimilar to a fist size battery with a pin.  He pulls the ring pin and chucks it towards the greatest mass of Nui-Rama.

Cell uses Flashbang targeting(at least two) of the Nui-Rama making them choose random targets, friend or foe.

Tsubasa breathes, assessing the area around her and clearing her mind further, then leaps outward again to guard her newfound allies(?), using the large armored vehicle as cover while she baffles the attacks of the incoming beasts.

 

Eye of the Storm (Currently 0 reduction), then Sky-Splitting Flash targeting Cicivexa and Cell

Yin: 0

Yang: 2 - > 4

 

 

Perks:
Total Concentration Breathing: The bread and butter of a Demon Slayer. This technique allows one to harness the strength of one's breath and fight on par with demons. Allows Tsubasa to use their Constitution as an attacking stat in place of Dexterity, Strength, or Synergy.
 
Yin & Yang (Level 2): Tsubasa's fighting style emphasizes moving with the flow of battle, attack moving into defense and defense into attack when the time is right. They have a Yin and Yang meter, that start at zero and progressively fill. Every attack increases Yin by one, and every supportive action increases Yang by one. Yang also increases on turns an attack was received. These can be used to perform more powerful techniques. Whenever they are spent, the opposite gauge increases by the same amount. Each gauge is capped at 8 points. Resets to 0 after each battle.
 
Action & Reaction: When Tsubasa is attacked, they gain a stack of "Reaction." If two or more stacks of Reaction are present, Tsubasa expends all stacks to take an extra action on their next turn.
 
Flaw: Breathless: Tsubasa has not mastered the art of using Total Concentration Breathing full-time, and thus suffers the ill effects of stopping the technique. They have an additional "Breath" gauge that starts equal to their CON. Whenever Tsubasa uses an ability with a cooldown or gauge requirement, they lose half of that requirement (rounded down, but minimum 1) from this gauge. They lose the ability to act when this gauge is empty. Debuff cleanses restore Breath equal to the number of debuffs they would normally remove. Resets to 0 after each battle.

-Level 1: Double weapon damage. Only usable if user has not attacked yet.
-Level 2: Adds user DEX to the damage. If the attack is a DEX attack, add CON instead.
 
Second Form: Eye of the Storm: A breath technique that finds calm in chaos. Increases damage resistance by the user's Yin gauge for the remainder of the battle. Can be used again to double the resistance for a turn. Calculated off of user's Yin when they take damage, not when they use the move.
-Level 1: When activated, increases the user's damage resistance by their Yin gauge for 3 turns. If the gauge increases, so does the resistance.
-Level 2: Now permanent after use, but does not stack with itself.
-Level 3: Can be activated again to double the resistance for one turn.
 
Third Form: Sky-Splitting Flash: A technique that launches the user in a direction at high speed, allowing gaps to be closed quickly. Tsubasa uses this to interpose herself between allies and foes. Intercepts 2+[Yin spent] attacks on targeted allies, carries over between turns.
-Level 1: Intercepts the next attack on target ally. Can spend Yin to increase the number of attacks intercepted this turn.
-Level 2: Intercepts carry over between turns.
-Level 3: Intercepts can now target multiple allies.
-Level 4: Intercepts an additional attack.
 
Fifth Form: Chain Lightning: Channels a destructive flow of energy, jumping from victim to victim along the path of least resistance. Costs 5 Yang. Attacks 3 times, targeting the nearest enemy in initiative to the original target for followups. Can hit the same enemy twice.
-Level 1: Attacks an enemy for [weapon] damage, then attacks the enemy nearest them for the same until 3 attacks have been performed.
-Level 2: Can retarget the same enemy once, if there are no other valid targets.
 
Sixth Form: Sweeping Current Surge: A strenuous, rapid stream of slashes that baffle, buffet, and cripple, striking multiple enemies at once. Costs 5 Yin. Deals [CON] damage to an enemy and each one above and below it in initiative, then reduces their damage by the same amount for 2 turns.
-Level 1: Select a target. To it and each enemy above and below it in initiative, deal [CON] damage. The victims have their damage reduced by the damage they take from this for 2 turns.
 

Equipment & Tricks:

Nichirin Sword: One of the few instruments capable of slaying a demon for good. Infused with sunlight, these weapons are infallible if wielded properly - but beware the incautious strike. They change colors based on the wielder. Tsubasa's blade takes on a vibrant blue scheme with a tendency to catch and reflect the light. Weight 3. Deals 4d6+DEX damage
-Level 1: Deals 1d6+DEX damage.
-Level 2: If an enemy takes extra damage from light or sun based attacks, they take extra damage from this weapon.
-Level 3: Enemies killed with this weapon cannot be revived. This effect may partially fail (based on GM discretion) on stronger enemies.
-Level 4: 2d6 damage.
-Level 5: 3d6 damage.
-Level 6: 4d6 damage.

 

Toa Heartlight (Untyped): Grants +2 damage reduction and +2 to Constitution.  Cannot be unequipped at this time.  Deals 5% of your MHP in nonlethal pure damage to you each round until you pass out.  Self-damage can be negated if you wear a Kanohi Mask of Power.

 

Kanohi Faxon: This mask has wide eye holes, and a swept-back helm. When worn, it color-coordinates with its wearer’s outfit.  It lets you emulate the abilities of animals that share the environment you are in. While wearing this mask, you can train tricks that let you do things you otherwise couldn’t if an animal you know of that shares the environment you are in could.  Of course, you still have to figure out how to do the trick.

"Not out of the woods yet are you Cell. . . " Edmond muttered. Almost like his recent handiwork had just been immediately nullified by the enemy. He'd have to work harder.

 

Quick Tune up on Cell healing 2d6+INT to a mechanical ally. Activate Gambit Perk to use Quick Tune up again healing Cell again for 2d6+INT, sacrificing 17 HP, reduced by preemptory bracing to 12 HP). Heal back a total of 7 HP from Autoregeneration. 4 damage reduction against physical forms of damage, 8 damage reduction against bullets specifically. +2 more from heartlight, and +2 to INT. I just remembered to equip that, and have swapped out one action to make room for it.

[DragonRage]

Cell flashbangs two Nui-Rama, causing them to choose random targets for the next 2 rounds.

 

Tsubasa uses Eye of the Storm, which does nothing right now.  Then she uses Sky Splitting Flash to redirect an attack from Cicivexa and Cell each to herself this round.

 

Hikari throws a cut with her sword, dealing 26 damage

 

Travis uses Tank It, protecting Tsubasa and Edmond for 3 turns and giving himself +2 DR for the duration

 

Cap flings a celestial spear at the glowing creature, dealing 12 damage!  Its next attack on him will deal 1d10 + their attacking stat.

 

Cicivexa casts Manaward, protecting himself from the next two attacks to target him.

 

Hahli throws another disk at a Nui-Rama, dealing 14 damage!

 

Edmond uses Quick Tune Up, then activates Gambit and does it again!  This restores 40 HP to Cell, and 12 damage to Edmond.  He then regenerates 7 HP.

 

Nuparu fires a disk from his launcher, dealing 23 damage!  The disk lodges in a Nui-Rama's head, sending it crashing to the ground.

 

The Nui-Rama attack each prospective enemy once, and attack Tsubasa 3 times.  Hikari, Cicivexa, and Edmond each get a single extra attack.  The stings deal 10 damage.  One of Tsubasa's attackers and Hahli's attacker are confused by the flashbang, and sting each other instead!

 

The glowing creature come streaking down from the sky.

 

Spoiler

 

 

The glowing creature comes swooping down, passing through the canopy accompanied by snapping branches.  This close, the ruddy glow reveals heavy, armored scales covering a thick body, with a reptilian head and bat-like wings.  On the underside of its neck, tail, and the backs of its legs, dozens of ovular objects hang, glowing the brightest.  Without slowing down, the creature does a belly flop directly into the center of the Nui-Rama swarm, before sliding forward into Travis, Edmond, and Tsubasa (redirected to Travis).  Behind it, a glowing, smoldering trail is carved into the soil.  Which then explodes, sending Nui-Rama flying, as seven of them are blown out of the air to land in smoking heaps.

 

BAZELGEUSE stands up on a pair of clawed feet and her wingtips, and roars again, emitting that same distinctive air raid screech.  She shakes her neck, explosive scales rattling beneath, as she turns to squarely face Gozer and Cap.

[Chevaleresse]

Tsubasa blinked. That was unexpected, not that it would slow her down. It was time, and she had a perfect target. "Lightning Breathing: First Form: Bolt from Blue Skies!" Suddenly, seemingly near instantaneously, Tsubasa was midair just past the new threat, having slashed it at blistering speed with a now-unsheathed sword. She twisted about in midair, taking another deep breath through clenched teeth. "Fifth Form: Chain Lightning!" She darted back downward, slashing between the Bazelgeuse and the Nui-Rama haphazardly, but effectively nonetheless.

 

First Form on Bazelgeuse, dealing (4d6+CON+DEX)*2. Expend Reaction to target Bazelgeuse with Chain Lightning, hitting it, then the Nui-Rama, then it again for 4d6+CON damage.

Yin: 0->7

Yang: 5->0

 

Perks:
Total Concentration Breathing: The bread and butter of a Demon Slayer. This technique allows one to harness the strength of one's breath and fight on par with demons. Allows Tsubasa to use their Constitution as an attacking stat in place of Dexterity, Strength, or Synergy.
 
Yin & Yang (Level 2): Tsubasa's fighting style emphasizes moving with the flow of battle, attack moving into defense and defense into attack when the time is right. They have a Yin and Yang meter, that start at zero and progressively fill. Every attack increases Yin by one, and every supportive action increases Yang by one. Yang also increases on turns an attack was received. These can be used to perform more powerful techniques. Whenever they are spent, the opposite gauge increases by the same amount. Each gauge is capped at 8 points. Resets to 0 after each battle.
 
Action & Reaction: When Tsubasa is attacked, they gain a stack of "Reaction." If two or more stacks of Reaction are present, Tsubasa expends all stacks to take an extra action on their next turn.
 
Flaw: Breathless: Tsubasa has not mastered the art of using Total Concentration Breathing full-time, and thus suffers the ill effects of stopping the technique. They have an additional "Breath" gauge that starts equal to their CON. Whenever Tsubasa uses an ability with a cooldown or gauge requirement, they lose half of that requirement (rounded down, but minimum 1) from this gauge. They lose the ability to act when this gauge is empty. Debuff cleanses restore Breath equal to the number of debuffs they would normally remove. Resets to 0 after each battle.
 
Level: 5
HP: 90
Initiative: 11
 
Base Stats:

• Strength: 3
• Dexterity: 11
• Intelligence: 2
• Constitution: 12+2
• Synergy: 2

Actions: 18/18
 
First Form: Bolt from Blue Skies: A sword technique that emulates a sudden flash of lightning from a previously calm sky. Deals double damage, plus additional [DEX] damage, to a single target. Not usable if user has already attacked this encounter.
-Level 1: Double weapon damage. Only usable if user has not attacked yet.
-Level 2: Adds user DEX to the damage. If the attack is a DEX attack, add CON instead.
 
Second Form: Eye of the Storm: A breath technique that finds calm in chaos. Increases damage resistance by the user's Yin gauge for the remainder of the battle. Can be used again to double the resistance for a turn. Calculated off of user's Yin when they take damage, not when they use the move.
-Level 1: When activated, increases the user's damage resistance by their Yin gauge for 3 turns. If the gauge increases, so does the resistance.
-Level 2: Now permanent after use, but does not stack with itself.
-Level 3: Can be activated again to double the resistance for one turn.
 
Third Form: Sky-Splitting Flash: A technique that launches the user in a direction at high speed, allowing gaps to be closed quickly. Tsubasa uses this to interpose herself between allies and foes. Intercepts 2+[Yin spent] attacks on targeted allies, carries over between turns.
-Level 1: Intercepts the next attack on target ally. Can spend Yin to increase the number of attacks intercepted this turn.
-Level 2: Intercepts carry over between turns.
-Level 3: Intercepts can now target multiple allies.
-Level 4: Intercepts an additional attack.
 
Fifth Form: Chain Lightning: Channels a destructive flow of energy, jumping from victim to victim along the path of least resistance. Costs 5 Yang. Attacks 3 times, targeting the nearest enemy in initiative to the original target for followups. Can hit the same enemy twice.
-Level 1: Attacks an enemy for [weapon] damage, then attacks the enemy nearest them for the same until 3 attacks have been performed.
-Level 2: Can retarget the same enemy once, if there are no other valid targets.
 
Sixth Form: Sweeping Current Surge: A strenuous, rapid stream of slashes that baffle, buffet, and cripple, striking multiple enemies at once. Costs 5 Yin. Deals [CON] damage to an enemy and each one above and below it in initiative, then reduces their damage by the same amount for 2 turns.
-Level 1: Select a target. To it and each enemy above and below it in initiative, deal [CON] damage. The victims have their damage reduced by the damage they take from this for 2 turns.
 

Equipment & Tricks:

Nichirin Sword: One of the few instruments capable of slaying a demon for good. Infused with sunlight, these weapons are infallible if wielded properly - but beware the incautious strike. They change colors based on the wielder. Tsubasa's blade takes on a vibrant blue scheme with a tendency to catch and reflect the light. Weight 3. Deals 4d6+DEX damage
-Level 1: Deals 1d6+DEX damage.
-Level 2: If an enemy takes extra damage from light or sun based attacks, they take extra damage from this weapon.
-Level 3: Enemies killed with this weapon cannot be revived. This effect may partially fail (based on GM discretion) on stronger enemies.
-Level 4: 2d6 damage.
-Level 5: 3d6 damage.
-Level 6: 4d6 damage.

Toa Heartlight (Untyped): Grants +2 damage reduction and +2 to Constitution.  Cannot be unequipped at this time.  Deals 5% of your MHP in nonlethal pure damage to you each round until you pass out.  Self-damage can be negated if you wear a Kanohi Mask of Power.

Kanohi Faxon: This mask has wide eye holes, and a swept-back helm. When worn, it color-coordinates with its wearer’s outfit.  It lets you emulate the abilities of animals that share the environment you are in. While wearing this mask, you can train tricks that let you do things you otherwise couldn’t if an animal you know of that shares the environment you are in could.  Of course, you still have to figure out how to do the trick.

Cell puts a hand on Edmond's shoulder and gives him a nod of thanks before drawing the Giant Killer, the energy from his few remaining wounds causing it to glow a brilliant orange and crackle with power.  Cell turns to charge the new beast, taking the opportunity of its fixation on Gozer and Cap to find a place less likely to explode to strike.

[Unlurking Sentinel]

It was immediately clear that this monster was not of this world. After the weeks since Cicivexa was first called to fight Trespassers, only now did he finally encounter one. The Black Mage's response to it? The same response as usual: summoning firestorms.

Cicivexa casts Flare III on the Bazelgeuse, as well as three of the Nui-Rama, dealing (7d6+17) fire damage, with a 28% chance to inflict a Critical Hit for 2x damage!

Perks:

Astral Cycle: Cicivexa can tap into the aetheric cycle that that defined the dynasties of his homeland. Whenever he casts a Fire Spell, he gains the Astra effect for one turn, boosting the damage of his next Fire Spell by 10%. This damage boost does not stack with itself. Whenever he casts a Blizzard Spell, he gains the Umbra effect for 3 turns, enabling the ability to cast certain spells, frequently Fire Spells.

 

Swiftcast: Grants the Swiftcast action.

 

Firestarter: All attacks have a critical chance equal to INT*2%, dealing 2x damage on a critical hit. 

 

Magick and Mend: All attacks that scale off of some amount of INT scale off of the same amount of SYN. For example, if an attack deals INT/2 damage on its own, it now deals INT/2+SYN/2 damage. The -50% penalty to buffs on AOE spells still applies. Does not apply to non-damage effects.

Flare I (Level 5): Deals WD+2 fire damage.

 

Thunder I: Cooldown of 4 turns. Deals WD*0.5 lightning damage, and applies one stack of "Thundercloud" on the target for 3 turns. Can only be cast under Umbra.

Whenever someone under the Thundercloud effect uses an ability with a cooldown or charging time, the effect is consumed and Cicivexa can make a free action weapon attack next round (unless he is unable to act). He cannot gain more than one free action per turn via Thundercloud. This weapon attack deals lightning damage instead of the original element.

 

Swiftcast I: Perk-backed, Free Action, Cooldown of 3 turns. Allows Cicivexa to use an additional Action (of minimum Action Level of 3), at -2 Action Levels.

 

Manaward I: Once per encounter. The next two attacks targeting Cicivexa do not deal damage to him.

Stardust Rod Zenith: Casts the Scathe spell, dealing 5d6+INT (+SYN due to Enhanced Black Magic) non-elemental damage. Lowers Initiative by 5-Strength.
 

Felt Sash: Increases Initiative by 6.
 

Toa Heartlight: +2 Damage Reduction, +2 INT, 5% MHP damage every turn without a Kanohi Mask equipped. Creates an additional action slot, exclusively useable for a Kanohi mask.

|-> Kanohi Akaku (Mask of Vision): Lets you see through anything less dense than solid lead, though you can still tell whether you’re looking through something. Has a telescopic zoom lens. Activate the mask as a free action to ignore dodge and miss chances/effects for 1 round. 3 round cooldown.

"Well, that's a bit of a problem, now isn't it. . ." Edmond coughed out, winded by being slammed around by the falling dragon thing. For now, he focused on repairing himself, reaffixing and patching biofluid pumps, rewelding the scratched armor plates, and attempting to unjam some of the servos.

 

Quick Tune up on self healing 2d6+INT . Heal back a total of 7 HP from Autoregeneration. 4 damage reduction against physical forms of damage, 8 damage reduction against bullets specifically. +2 more from heartlight, and +2 to INT.

The Long Arm of the Law: A weapon meant to be used by someone wielding the Iron will's frame, it looks like an unholy combination of a high caliber sniper rifle and a belt fed machinegun.

Weight: 5
Base (Loot): Deals 2d6+INT damage, and when used by someone not utilizing the Iron Will armor system, the weight is treated as 7.
Level 2: APDS Rounds: This weapon can be used with your choice of INT or DEX as its base stats.
Level 3: Familiarity : Bumps the dice formula up to 2d8+Stat
Level 4: Dead Aim: If the Iron Will suit is equipped, consider enemies dodge to be reduced by 10% when utilizing this weapon.

 

Equipment Acquired:  Toa Heartlight (Untyped) – The ancient mechanisms of the Toa Canister have transformed you into a creature of Bionicle!  But without a source of elemental power, only some of its features have been unlocked.  Grants +2 damage reduction and +2 to a stat chosen when equipped.  Cannot be unequipped at this time.  Deals 5% of your MHP in nonlethal pure damage to you each round until you pass out.  Self-damage can be negated if you wear a Kanohi Mask of Power.

 

Equipment Acquired:  Matoran Kanohi Mask – This artifact allows beings of Bionicle to properly control and contain their powers.  Without one, even the mightiest Toa can be humbled.  Some masks can also grant special powers, but these do not.  They are enough to keep you alive and healthy, though.  Can be knocked off by a critical hit, requiring a round to recover and put back on.

Level 1: Choose an ally, if an enemy would target them, attack, deal basic damage, and stun. 5 turn cooldown.
