[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Nightshade sends out Charmander! The sailor seems to be hiding a smile, and Charmander is quite obviously hiding his mouth behind his fiery tail.

A Charmander! The Fire-Starter from far Kanto, evolving into the overpowered Charizard... Oh my. Call Shiva impressed.

The logically thinking part of her mind - yes, such a part existed in her too - noticed that the fierly lizard must either have Blaze just like her fierly fox or - worse - Solar Power. Whatever it was, Shiva did not have Azurill on hand now, but somehow she was glad about that - while the mouse is no Water Type yet, seeing her Bubble Beam and Water Gun diminished by the bright sunlight might not be that good for her developing confidence which brought her hopefully closer to evolution. Oh, she was also very glad that she did not send out Cottonee without a way to escape the Charmander. It't pain to see the Cottonee's fluff burn...

She picked up that concelaed smile from Nightshade. Too bad that her Insight is not yet high enough to read anything in that smile. She also picked up that Charmander is hidding something from being visible for her. Hmm... Whatever both was, caution was a good choice.

Alright then. Continue. Let's see how the crowd reacts to the following. "Minun? Your performance is not over yet. Show me more of that dancing, lure the Charmander with it, but most important - do that from the back of Raphael." Mentioned Togekiss gave Shiva a curious look, which is returned by an encouraging smile. Not that bright and radient that the Togekiss' rightful owner is capable of pulling off, but still encouraging to some degree. "That's right, dear Raphael, come up and pick up Minun for the ride!~ Cover my rodent a little from any damage, please. And while you're nearby, show the Charmander some direct token of your love! Hehe."


Orders for this Round: Minun will try to lure Charmander by an entertaining Entrainment, Raphael will pick Minun up to carry the rodent on his back. While doing so, Air Slashing on Cherrim and Charm on Charmander! (pun not intended) He'll also cover Minun from suffering further damage, if possible.

Pain Penalization: -2 on Minun, 0 on Raphael.
Secondary Effect: This battle became more of a performance than a real battle. How neat! Hope the audience enjoys.


Accuracy Roll Entrainment on Charmander: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 1 Performance - 2 Pain = 5 D6, looks good.
Effect: Replaces Charmander's ability - whatever it is - with Minus.

Accuracy Roll Air Slash on Cherrim: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 2 Channel - 2 Actions = 5 D6, looks good.
Damage Roll: 2 Strength + 3 Power of move + 1 STAB = 6 D6, 1 Autodamage because of SE.
Additional notes: Default 3 CD to flinch the foe, but thanks to Serence Grace, it's 5.

Accuracy Roll Charm on Charmander: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 2 Allure - 3 Actions = 4 D6, looks good too.
Effect: -2 Strength  for the target. That's too much cuteness for the Charmander!
