[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

'Hehe...wow, they weren't kidding when they said he doesn't pull his punches.  Maybe we should have gone with two Awakenings instead...however, we're just getting started...and even though he's used the potion now, that means we don't have to worry about it later...which is perfect.  He likely thinks Grid is the largest threat here if he focused all his efforts in the first turn on trying to prevent him from chewing through his pokemon.  Which almost happened, since Banette would be out of the fight if Gengar hadn't used Curse, but it'll likely be down soon enough.'

He nods at Ventus's order for Aspis to keep using Bite and continue covering Grid.  That's exactly what they needed to happen right now.  The faster they got through these first two pokemon, the better off they'd be.

"Grid, keep using Electroweb from the cover, though slow it down slightly.  I want you to keep doing as much damage to those Ghosts as you can, but with due caution.  If Banette happens to use Destiny Bond, Hold Back if you would KO it.  I want max damage if possible, but not if it comes at the expense of losing a valued team member to that move by accident."(We are still playing by 1 HP rules here, after all) Nathan's rather familiar with expert trainers' love for Destiny Bond Banette from his readings. Mostly when used by its Mega. *shudder*

3 Electrowebs per turn now!  Still a conditional Evasion should something try to put Grid to sleep as well.

Electroweb x3
Accuracy: 3 Dex + 3 Fight + 2 Canalize - 1 Acc + 2 Compound Eyes - 3/4/5 Actions - 1 Curse = 6/5/4 D6 - 1 Success
Damage: 3 Strength + 2 Power + 1 STAB - 2* Defense - 1 Curse = 4 D6 - 1 Success (Hold Back if the attack would KO Banette and it's used Destiny Bond)

Evade (Only if something attempts to put Grid to Sleep.  Replaces an Electroweb action.)
Accuracy: 3 Dex + 3 Fight + 2 Evasion - 3/4/5 D6 - 1 Curse =  5/4/3 D6 - 1 Success
