[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

I have a few PM'd actions here, so I'll try to take the battle as far as possible before bed!

Ventus vs Nathan Round 1!

Red is the most exciting color! And it's also the color of Nathan's first Pokemon, Swiftfire the Ponyta!

Initiative: (1) + 3 Dex + 1 Survival = 5
The horse stumbles just a bit coming into the rink.

Ventus chooses Apsis, the Ekans!

Initiative: (1) + 1 Dex + 3 Survival = 5

It's a tie right off the bat, folks. Dex is prioritized over Survival, however, and thus Swiftfire is the fastest.

Nathan orders Ponyta to learn a new move they've been practicing in secret, that he thinks she's ready to pull off! Ponyta becomes cloaked in flames as she chases down the sluggish snake.

Flame Charge
Accuracy: 2 Fight + 3 Dexterity + 0 Brawl
(2)(5)(4)(6)(2) An easy hit, as Ponyta is fresh.
Dmg: 2 Power + 2 Strength + 1 STAB - 2 Vitality = 3 dice
(5)(5)(2) Ekans takes 2 damage. Now at -1pain, but the big snake has many hp (6 remaining).
Swiftfire's speed increases! Her Dexterity is now 4.

Ekans has been prepped for this eventuality, and he's going to use Glare!

Glare
Accuracy: 1 Dex +2 fight + 0 Intimidatespecialty -1 pain -1 accuracy move = just 1 dice
(4)
Ponyta is Paralyzed, that's -2 dex. She shifts in the initiative order.

Ventus vs Nathan Round 2!

Leer
Acc: 1 Dex + 2 Fight -1 pain = 2 dice
(5)(6)
Ponyta's defense drops by 1!

Despite being paralyzed, Ponyta is moving faster and faster with every step!

Ember
Accuracy: 5 dice, +1 flame charge, -2 paralyzed, -2 multiple actions = 2 dice
(3)(5) That's a hit.
Dmg: 5 dice, -2, same as Flame Charge.
(2)(3)(6) Ekans takes 1 hp damage.
Burn: (3)

Ember 2
Accuracy: 1 less than above
(3) No good! She's paralyzed and cannot attack.

Ventus vs Nathan Round 3!

"Apsis, Poison Sting!"

Poison Sting
Accuracy: 1 Dex +2 Fight -1 pain
(6)(4)
Dmg: 2 Str + 2 power +1 Stab -1 vitality thanks to leer = 4 dice and a poison chance
(3)(1)(1)(1) Horrible, truly horrible. But there's still the poison chance.
Poison: (4)(2)(6) Uh oh, Ponyta is poisoned.

Ember
(6)(1) hit
(4)(3)(5) Ekans takes 2 damage. That puts him at -2 pain!
Burn: (1)

Ember 2
(4)
(2)(1)(3) No damage : (
Burn: (6) Tit for tat! Ekans is burned!

Neither Pokemon has the Vitality to resist those status conditions.
Ponyta takes 1 damage from poison.
Ekans takes 1 damage from Burn.

Summary:
Ekans has lost 6hp. 2 remain. Ekans is burned.
Ponyta has lost 1 hp. 4 remain. Ponyta is poisoned. She has net -1 to her Dex, and -1 Vit.

Ventus vs Nathan Round 4
Need input! That was awesome though.
