[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

No need to roll the buffs - they go off just fine.

[Dragonstrike]

So, here's the next question of the day: can Nathan manually get Mr. Mime out of that Conditional Ball, or are we going to have to get tricksy?

You release Mr. Mime in the normal way - no conditions were set, apparently.

Mr. Mime doesn't attack, he just waves and starts heading up the stairs.

???

Nathan will try to get in front of Mr. Mime and cut him off since we don't know where Mr. Mime is going (don't want to use Spider Web on Mr. Mime since it doesn't seem to be trying to flee from us).  "...hang on a sec.  Do you know how to disable that barrier?"

Not trying to be aggressive, just...cautious and thorough.

Mr. Mime shakes his head and pretends to be trapped in a box. He looks tired. You notice a difference here: Mr. Mime's Barrier is nearly invisible, but the barrier around the server is the color of Psychic energy.

Oh. This half onslaught went waaay too fast , bad tongues would now spit a direct 'You should have seen this coming' into the natural fae-enthusiast's and spectral breeder's face. In fact Shiva's inner voice begins to scold her, but she rather harshly silences it - now isn't the proper moment to feel bad or fall into self-blame. It'll only hinder or even prevent proper actions taken, especially now that.... Well, now that Shiva's practically on her own. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

It doesn't really need words to express how she HATES being attacked by these gauntlets, and how it's making her both furious and panicked. If curiosity killed the Eevee at last, Shiva's on a good way to evolve into a never-before-seen Ghost Type Eon. How that occurance wouldn't be such a good thing because of resulting in an empathic sociologist running riot, she knows.

Shiva has a split second to use her version of ICY GLARE on these inanimate steely figures before both Azu and Yena leap forward in a courageous move to protect their master, Cottonee mindfully withdraws herself to not add to the chaos of the scene. "Very well THEN...", Shiva dangerously low whispers, she's suprised too that her fear doesn't paralyze her - she appears in all-action mode~! It's rare to see her like that. "If you want to go offensive, I will do so as well. Yena, Azu, please SMASH these gauntlets with well-placed hits, aim for the piston as assumed weakest point, just MAKE SURE they won't fire at us anymore! Azu - the pale blue-glowing one (presumably Ice), Yena - pink (presumably Psychic). Be ready to change your moves rapidly at my word though, concentrate on my voice."

While her Pokemon jump forward in a bold but no less graceful move, Shiva does so towards Spira and can't prevent herself from hitting the ice with a fist anymore in frustration (not towards him but towards the ice). "Spira, DAMN, you can't leave me now, you just CANNOT do so, hold on, you hear me? Stop cosplaying a Froslass' victim and please HELP me here!" It was a good idea to buy an Ice Heal yesterday, it's the only one she has though. It's used to that him up, hooray.


------------------------------

Mechanics:
These devices sound automated, so no attempt to magicroom 'em out of order. Instead, both Azu and Yena will start with a Rock Smash on these gauntlets, with Azu at the Psychic Typed and Yena on the Electric Typed. HOWEVER, their further actions depend on the result of these attacks:
Shiva pays attention to the damage Rock Smash deals, as she believes they can be EITHER Steel Type due to belonging to the steely wall OR the respective Type of beams they're fireing (Don't tell me she as an Insight blaster won't notice). The number of actions from her Pokemon is set, which actions these are depends on the result of the first one though, means after they're rolled, further input comes.

I hope that is fine and doable. The aim is to dismantle the firering mechanism as fast and efficiently as possible, if one Rock Smash can do so well enough, great! Shiva doesn't care that it could be considered vandalism in this case.

ALSO: Is Spira able to jump in after these first actions as he's thawed that fast or still at the end of the Round?


Dice Pools:
Accuracy Roll Yena's and Azu's Rock Smash 1: 4 Dext + 3 Fight + 3 Brawl - 3 Actions = 7d6 and 8*d6 in Yena's case
Damage Roll: Needed? 7d6 in case, it's SE on Steel but NE on Psychic. Azu's held Expert Belt raises the possible auto-damage to 2.
Additional notes: Has 5CD to lower Defense by 1.

Yena's Shield Dust Ability nullyfies CD Damage.

Mr. Mime shakes his head and pretends to be trapped in a box. He looks tired. You notice a difference here: Mr. Mime's Barrier is nearly invisible, but the barrier around the server is the color of Psychic energy.

"...ah, so...is it just some fresh air you're looking for, or...are you trying to leave while you have a chance to?"

Call Nathan curious, but the answer to this question is actually kinda important in at least some fashion...

[Mikaruge108]

Once Spira is able to act after being thawed, he sends out Hida.
"Phew, thanks for that *brr*."
"Alright Hida, let's do this! Use Ember, Lava Plume, and, Flame Burst on the golem that shot ice! Show that thing that it messed with the wrong person!"

Ember
Accuracy: Dex+Fight+Canalize-3 Actions= 11D6
Damage: Strength+2+STAB+Item= 7D6
Notes: 1CD Burn 1

Lava Plume
Accuracy: Dex+Fight+Canalize-3 Actions= 10D6
Damage: Strength+3+STAB+Item= 8D6
Notes: 3CD Burn 1, Area Attack

Flame Burst
Accuracy: Dex+Fight+Canalize-3 Actions-1 Penalty= 8D6
Damage: Strength+2+STAB+Item= 7D6

The second one!

[Dragonstrike]

The second one!

Aha!  Just as Nathan suspected!  I knew there had to be something about those Conditional Balls that wasn't on the up and up!

"...do you know how to get out of here without getting caught?  Because I can tell you right now, there's a ton of security around here, even though there isn't a large number of guards present this early in the morning.  My companions and I had to sneak our way in, and we've nearly gotten spotted a few times already.  If you just try and stroll out like nothing happened...well, you'll probably end up right back where you started, to be blunt."

Nathan thinks for a moment...

"...tell ya what.  Think you could maybe help us out with getting that barrier in the corner down?  I can probably help get you out of here, but I also need to get to those servers.  Almanac and the people they work with have hurt a lot of people and pokemon.  My best friend, Gallade...my dad...my uncle...Calam, my Absol friend...if we can get to those servers, we can fight back.  We won't have to be just victims any more.  Even though you don't know the answer to this puzzle...can you help us find it or an alternative, please?"
