Trespassers V2: Tales of the Masks [IC]

Chevaleresse · February 15, 2020

Third Form: Sky-Splitting Flash on Travis, Halhi, and Nuparu, spending 1 Yin to increase intercepted attacks to 3.

Yin: 7->6

Yang: 0->2

Breath: 8/14

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.

Unlurking Sentinel · February 18, 2020

And with the eruption of the scales, Cicivexa's magical barrier was shattered by a flurry of Celestial Spears, just as he seemed to direct the creature's enmity towards himself. No one could possibly doubt that if it threw even a fraction of its weight into him, he'd enter Thal's realm (or whatever the others believe in) with no delay. If he had any chance of killing this monstrosity, no matter how small, he needed to put his full force into it this time.

And so, he assumed a channeling stance, and a mass of darkness emanated from the Stardust Rod, before he threw the full force of himself into summoning a massive structure of ice aether, just above where the beast was heading, primed to drop. And just as it impacted its target, he flicked his staff once more, and (hopefully) everyone within meters could feel the heat from the ensuing aetheric firestorm. This had to be the killing, or at least crippling blow. It just had to be. It had to be.

Cicivexa casts Blizzard I on the Bazelgeuse, dealing (5d6+21)*3/4 ice damage, with a 28% chance of inflicting a critical hit for 2x damage. He gains Umbra for the next 3 turns!

He then Swiftcasts Flare I, dealing (5d6+19)*1.05 fire damage, with a 28% chance of inflicting a critical hit for 2x damage. He gains Astra for the next 1 turn! Umbra's duration is lowered by 1 turn.

Effects & Cooldowns:

Spoiler

Temporary Perk Effects (already accounted for in above actions):

Umbra: The current turn + the next 2 turn(s)

Astra: The current turn + the next 1 turn(s)

Enochian Dependency: Until Umbra and/or Astra was active during both of the two previous turns

Turn 2: Umbra

Turn 3: Astra

Temporary Effects (already accounted for in above actions):

Cooldowns:

Mask of Vision: 0 turn cooldown

Swiftcast: 3 turns until useable

Manaward: Used This Encounter

Stats & Abilities:

Spoiler

Level: 5
HP: 60
Initiative: 6 (5-5+6)
Stats:
Constitution: 6
Dexterity: 5
Intelligence: 14 (12+2)
Strength: 0
Synergy: 7

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.

Cell lashes out with the Giant Killer at Bazelgeuse, dealing 114 damage!

Tsubasa uses Sky Splitting Slash to guard Travis, Hahli, and Nuparu, spending 1 Yin to extend her defense!

Hikari teleports into position and slashes Bazelgeuse, dealing 40 damage!

Travis ends Tank It and uses his basic block!

Cap hurls another Celestial Spear at Bazelgeuse, dealing 14 damage!

Cicivexa casts Blizzard 1! The rush of ice and wind slams into Bazelgeuse! CRITICAL HIT! The ice ravages the wyvern's wings and face, leaving blackened streaks of frostbite across delicate membranes as it deals 94 damage! Cicivexa then uses Swiftcast to fire Flare 1 at Bazelgeuse, dealing 36 damage! But Bazelgeuse seems unbothered by the flames as it rears up and ROARS!

Bazelgeuse's roar has staggered Hahli!

Edmond resists Bazelgeuse's roar! Edmond uses Quick Tune Up on Travis twice, restoring 39 HP to him! Edmond loses 12 HP and gains 7 HP.

Bazelgeuse's roar has staggered Nuparu! Bazelgeuse's roar has staggered Cell! Bazelgeuse's roar has staggered Gozer and Cap! Cicivexa resists Bazelgeuse's roar! Bazelgeuse's roar has staggered Travis!

As Bazelgeuse finishes her roar, her explosive scales and body become criss-crossed with dull, cherry-red lines, glowing menacingly in the darkness. Cicivexa, occupied by his spells, can only stare in shocked horror as the wyvern rushes towards him headlong. Bazelgeuse's head slams into Cicivexa, dealing 31 damage! As the suddenly terrified mage looks on, she rears up over him and shakes her neck, scattering glowing, explosive scales all around him, before slamming down on top of him, setting off a massive explosion that deals a further 61 damage! When Bazelgeuse stands up, Cicivexa lays unconscious and broken in a smoldering crater.

Cicivexa has been downed and acquired a wound:

Spoiler

Fruits of Hubris (wound): When he is not under the effects of a defensive action, Cicivexa can't help being distracted by memories of Bazelgeuse. This reduces his damage dealt with magical effects by 50% against elite and boss enemies.

Bazelgeuse spreads her wings, creating a violent gust of wind that rattles the glowing scales hanging from her body. It's clear that the wind from her downstroke will send scales hurling about at random as she takes off! Hahli and Nuparu come to the obvious conclusion, exchange a quick nod, and tackle the most fragile-looking of their staggered allies, Cap and Gozer, hurling themselves, the golem, and Captain Forgotten Realms behind a nearby tree.
