[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Aye, you generally cannot shelter behind an ally from moves that hit all enemies. There may be exceptions, but normally, no. Moves that affect the entire battlefield are almost impossible to avoid.
Will points can be spent to avoid a pain penalization, which can often resurrect a dice pool for multiple actions.
All your orders are still valid.

Zamboni vs Shiva Round 5

Braixen is also Spiked, 6/7hp.

Tackle
(4)(1)(5)(5)
2 Str +2 power -2* vit = 2 dice
(6)(2) Swinub takes 1 dmg 5/6hp

Ember on Swinub.
(6)(6)(4)(5)(6) Crit!
That's a crazy 7d6+1.
(3)(4)(2)(6)(4)(1)(6) Swinub takes 5 dmg and faints.
The little pig wasn't even expecting it!


"No shelter from the winds of wrath, Cherubi!"
Icy Wind
(5)(2)(4)(2)
(6)(1)(2) Cherubi takes 2 dmg. Braixen takes none.
Freeze: (3)

Morning Sun
(6)(3)(2)
Cherubi soaks in that beautiful sun, chlorophyll raring!
Cherubi has 6hp, so rolls 6 dice to heal.
(5)(5)(3)(5)(5)(2) Full health for the little one!

Ember
(5)(5)(4)(6) 4 successes.
The wary ice fox sniffs the air and tries to jump out of the way of the lava fox.
Evasion: 1 rank in Evasion -3 actions = 4 dice
(3)(1)(2)(1) Not even close. Perhaps Ventus is glaring at Shiva's opponent with such force that he falters.
(4)(5)(1)(6)(1) Glaceon takes 3 dmg. 1 HP remaining.

"Yep, I know when I'm outclassed."
Shiva can keep her Will point. Zamboni presses his controls that end the battle, and he recalls Glaceon before it can be fainted.

"Um, normally I give the winner an immediate victory lap! But I'm afraid you'll have to wait on that! Why don't you go have a nice cup of cocoa with your friends, and get some care for your Pokemon from Xiani? Then they can join you on the ice when it's ready. But here is the Glass Badge!!"
Shiva receives the Glass Badge and $400! It raises your Strength by 0.5.

Shiva gains 9XP for the battle, +1 for creativity. She has 18Xp to split among her four Pokemon!

Zamboni calls out his Rotom, who immediately starts coating the rink in a new, even layer of crisp ice. When he's done, Shiva is given the Golden Skates for a victory lap!
