Tangrowth Encounter Round 1

Kirlia traces Chlorophyll.

Night Slash 1 from Calam
9 dice -3 actions = 6 dice
(4)(3)(5)(4)(6)(4) That's a crit
3 Str + 1 STAB + 2 crit +3 power -4 vit + blackglasses = 6 dice
(3)(2)(3)(4)(4)(3) Tangrowth A takes 2 dmg 8/10 hp -1 pain
The dark blade slices into the shambling mound, which is very tough. Even such a powerful attack only did a little damage.

Leer 1
(5)(1)(1) Their vines have grown shaggily over their eyes, and they don't even notice the crazed little cat leering at them.

Toxic 1
(3)(5)(1)(5)(2)
Tangrowth A is badly poisoned!
The vines this Tangrowth are shepherding lose their vigor, but they don't stop growing, piling up against the masonry.

Acid Spray 1
(6)(6)(3)(1)(2)
(5)(1) +1 Tangrowth A takes 2 dmg and -2 Str 6/10hp. It's also coated in acid!

Amnesia 1
(6)(1)(3)(5)(4)
+3 Defense for Haneal! Whoot

Lucky Chant 1 fills the mountains!
(1)(3)(4)(3)(4)

Rock Slide 1, targeting Apsis, Calam, Kirlia, and Helios.
2 Dex + 3 Fight + 3 Canalize -1 acc -3 actions = 4 dice
(6)(5)(4)(3)
2 Str + 3 power -3+ vit = 2dice or less
(5)(3 - removed for Apsis) Apsis, Kalam, Kirlia, and Helios take 1 dmg each
Flinch: (6)(2)(5) And they all flinch as Kingdol starts an avalanche on their heads.

Two Tangrowth use Ingrain 1.
(6)(6)(5)(5)
(4)(1)(6) (this is Tangrowth A)
Now all the Tangrowth are fully committed to this fight. Their ability to shepherd the vines is decreased, but their ability to deny you egress is increased!

Another uses Knock Off 1 on Helios - you can see the Kingdol directing this action - by covering him with vines.
2 Dex +3 Fight + 3 Brawl -3 actions = 5 dice
(5)(4)(2)(4)(5)
3 Str + 2 power -3 vit = 2d6+1
(5)(4) Helios takes 3 dmg 3/7hp -2 pain. He loses his spoon, but it is merely a prop for him.

The final Tangrowth uses Mega Drain 1 on Piloswine, getting in real close to root into Pilo with vines.
7 dice of Canalize, -3 actions = 4 dice
(1)(2)(4)(4)
3 Str + 2 power +1 STAB -3 vit = 3d6+1
(6)(5)(1) Pilo takes 3 dmg 4/7hp -1 pain.

A screaming monkey plows into the wounded Tangrowth.
Close Combat 1
(5)(6)(4)(5)(4) Critical hit! Monferno is soon neck deep in vines.
3 Str + 5 power + 2 crit - 4 vit +1 Black Belt = 7 dice
(5)(1)(4)(4)(1)(2)(3) Thanks to Lucky Chant, that deals 3 dmg. 3/10hp -2 pain.

Powder Snow 1 In the close confines of the mountain pass, this manages to hit all 4 Tangrowth.
6 acc -1 pain -2 actions = 3 dice
(3)(2)(6)
3d6+1
(4)(1)(4) Every Tangrowth takes 3 dmg. This causes 1 to faint, and the others are now at 7/10hp -1 pain.
Chance: (3)

Calam 2 is Flinched.
Helios 2 is Flinched.

The synchronicity of the psychic cats is disrupted by the rockslide, but Kyuu bravely soldiers on alone.

Confusion 2
(5)(2)(5)(5)(2)
(4) Tangrowth B takes 1 dmg 6/10hp.
Chance: (4)

Apsis 2 is Flinched.

Ember 2 - there's no Tangrowth with Acid on it right now.
(6)(2)(3)(6)
(6)(1) Tangrowth B takes 2 dmg 4/10hp -2 pain.
Burn: (3)
Your Pokemon have all learned to work together at this point, though Rose is still learning. The result is a rapidfire barrage of attacks on consecutive targets. Valder does his own thing, but very much to the benefit of the party.
Sometimes there's no time to communicate, but by pure luck the party members strike the same target.

Kirlia 2 is Flinched.

Extrasensory 2 on Apsis.
8 dice -4 actions = 4 dice
(1)(1)(1)(4) Haneal wanders between Apsis and Claydol. The attack passes over him and through him. Where the attack has gone, only Haneal remains.

Claydol's expression doesn't change, but he points to Piloswine.
The two most wounded Tangrowth uses Mega Drain on him.

Mega Drain 2
7 dice, -2 pain, -4 actions = 1 dice
(2) Miss.

Mega Drain 2
7 dice, -1 pain, -4 actions = 2 dice
(4)(5)
(5)(6)(2) Piloswine takes 3 dmg. A single HP remains. 1/7 -3 pain. The second attack is wasted. 
Tangrowth C gains 1HP.

More gestures from Claydol. Vines reach out from the ingrained Tangrowth to violently frisk some of the other Pokemon, starting with the psychics.

Knock Off 2 on Kyuu
(5)(3)(1) Hit
(4)(1) Kyuu takes 2 dmg He meows as his pink apricorn nut is hurled into a crevice. 3:
4/6hp -1 pain.


Night Slash 3
(5)(1)(1)(2) A Tangrowth heads toward Kirlia, intending to hush him up, which brings him into the perfect position for a Night Slash.
(4)(5)(3)(6) Tangrowth B takes 3 dmg 1/10hp.

Apsis is tired of being targeted and tries to melt that weakest Tangrowth into goo. Like Ventus, she believes it's the intent that counts, even though she has escaped with minimal damage.

Acid Spray 3
(6)(2)(4)
(5)(1) Tangrowth B faints

Ember 3
(6)(1)(6)
(6)(2) Tangrowth C takes 2 dmg 6/10hp -2 pain.

2 Str + 2 power -3 vit = 1 dice
(5) Kirlia takes 1 dmg 5/7hp -1 pain.

The non-Pokemon vines tap the Clamperl Pearl and start rolling it toward the Ruins! Their movement ability is very limited.

Tangrowth gain 1hp.
