Defeated
The fight is now over, and it's not pretty.
If you are unfortunate enough to lose a battle, you will experience one or more of the following:
Results
- Your skull smacks the ground painfully as you collapse. Unwisely you try to get up, only to fall over and hit your head yet again. Things begin to swim in your vision. You acquire an effect: Concussed (Added for 45 minutes.)
- Something inside you isn't lined up the way it's supposed to be, and it seems to be messing with your ability to keep your chakras centered and your focus, uh ... focused. You acquire an effect: Internal injuries (Added for 55 Minutes)
- That last hit was too much. You crawl away in defeat. You acquire an effect: internal injuries. (Added for 60 minutes.)
- Your foe beats you up and leaves you bleeding in the street. You acquire an effect: Needs Stitches. (Added for 30 minutes.)
- You're beaten badly--so bad it takes much longer than usual before you can pull yourself together. You lose an additional 5 minutes.
- Battered and bruised, you spend a few moments wondering what you could have done instead. You resolve not to make the same mistakes again. You gain 14-18 XP.
- You fall to the ground and black out for a second. When you come to, your memory of what just happened is hazy. You lose XP equal to how much the monster gives.
- Man, that really smarts! You lie on the ground writhing in pain for a few minutes. Some of your collected power fizzles away before you can collect yourself. You lose X PP.
- You collapse, unable to fight any further, and your foe strolls off into the night.
If you try to go out before healing:
- "Can't .... Go ... On ... What are you doing? You can barely walk, let alone try to patrol the area. Come back when you're not bleeding all over the place."
If you try to heal without any time left:
- I know it sounds silly, but you're too tired to rest right now. In other words, as exhausted as you are, if you sat down now you'd fall asleep and then wake up to find yourself robbed and--even worse--possibly murdered. You've got to go home now or you're not going to make it through the work day tomorrow. You don't want to get fired, do you?
Next time I suggest you try running away!
If that doesn't work, try again.
