[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Spiritmon]

I was thinking the evasion would be enough to survive the last hits. Welp, the table as turn I guess.

It's still snowy outside here at my place and a layer of white is laying on everything, but it's not snowing massively like yesterday night.

Besides, @Iron, how does it sound if we'd forfeit Shiva's Encounter with the Medium for the next Day? That is something that won't be done in one or two posts exchanged, meeting her today only to tell her that I'll come tomorrow with a sentiment for the Cleanse Tag feels somewhat pointless, and doing it all tomorrow in-game in one go including a visit of the graveyard and an allured battle there for Furret and Yena feels more to my taste. I'd simply send in a disguised Training Session during strolling over the Violet Tent, so that the last things before we can get to shipping would be wrapping up the trade of Druddigon and visiting the Pagoda for the Evening Ceremony or another Training Session shall Shiva not be lucky this time. All besides wrapping up the battle between Heart and Shiva of course.

Whatever you like! Just make sure any actions get posted in the Game Thread so I can resolve them in turn.

Will do, now that I'm home!~ Whoah, I didn't thoughts that Shiva would indeed get lucky, but now she turned things of the battle around. Now it's -1 pained Cottonee and fresh Spritzee against four Pokemon on Heart's side that only need one hit of practically anything with their 2hp to be out of the battle! Cool.

I'm sorry that I've fainted Koa. :C

Ah, the good ol' multi-action evasion gambles...pretty difficult to pull off if you stretch yourself too thin, and failing means ya get rekt anyways...it's awesome to see it it work, though...and it's a shame whenever it doesn't.

GG, Rose and Koa.  GG.

It was definitely a big gamble for Heart. Once Rose was out, it might have been nice for Koa to survive until it was a fair 2on2 battle again, but he just didn't end up with enough dice/successes.

Like they say: No pain, no gain. It was good to see that battle be turn now. Remember Phantom, I can still cause some good damage before the end.

I know. (◕‿◕ )
That's why I like about that battle, whoever wins probably wins by a hair.

I agree! And I must confess. That is the best pokemon I ever had! The other time I almost loose was against Dagny. And that battle against Shiva is the most epic! Thanks for let me fight against ya :3

Which is why you never see me Evade EVER, as I rather tank hits and then hit back then chance the dice on deciding whether or not a blow's going to land or not. That, and if the opponent chooses to evade, they give up an Action that could have been put towards damaging your Pokemon, and you can always order your Pokemon to keep spamming the same move until they get hit or run out of Actions.

To each their own, though!

Battles looking pretty bad for Heart, though, so at this point I probably given up by now, but you seem like you want to fight until the bitter end @Spiritmon, so go for it!

Well, you have a different stat build.  Your character is designed to do that.  Heart and Nathan aren't.  And Evasion is a lot better when your opponent has fewer accuracy dice than you do.

It's certainly a vastly different playstyle, I can say that much.

I agree to that, evading doesn't really fit my chara and battlestyle.

Heart already said in-chara that he is ready to continue the battle 'till no more Pokemon can fight, Windos. C: My, when I designed Shiva as someone having no practical experience in battling, I wouldn't have expected that she's capable to give someone an epic fight.

@Spiritmon, you haven't said anything definitive so far whether you agree or not agree to hirering Mr. Finder to smell us a path through Mount Sentry to find the Secret Library. What are your thoughts, and how many cash would be willing to contribute to cover the costs of 5000$ (+ expenses asked to be kept at minimum) for his service? If we'd share it between all five of us equally, it'd be 1000$ for each, but:

1. I have no idea how much cash everyone of the group has, and
2. depending how much it is, we can adjust things a little so that those with more cash pay a tad bit more than those with less, but I'd want everyone of the group to contribute at least a bit to the costs. (Including Valder if possible, Iron)

Welp, since its the best manner to find that library, I want to fech 1000 Pokedollar to help the group. I even gonna see if that garnet Heart give to jewel man is finished. He say the recover garnet value would 4500. That gonna help a lot.

@Spiritmon, since Shiva is down to her last two pokemon, you could just outright state in the game thread what two pokemon of your remaining three you're sending back in. It'll make things go just a little faster.

Notably, this battle could definitely still go either way since all of Heart's pokemon are higher on the initiative than Shiva's, but they're all heavily damaged too...this is going to be interesting...
