[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Muk rises from the ooze, blocking the way forward! It appears unphased by four Pokemon attacking it!

It controls the water around it, riding along on waves of its own making, corrupting the already disgusting water of the swamp!

Nathan runs up and sinks a bolt of purple energy into it just before Heart is subsumed.

Kirlia: (4) + 7 = 11
Swiftfire: (1) + 7 +1 = 8 +1
Aron: (5) + 4 = 9
Muk: (2) + 2 dex + 4 Survival = 8
Mudkip: (3) + 4 = 7

Muk Round 1

Confusion 1
(6)(2)(1)(5)(1)(2)
7d6-5 vit =2d6+1
(4)(4) Muk takes 3 dmg right off the bat. While in water he has 5 base HP. 7/10hp -1 pain.
Confusion: (2)

Iron Head 1
(3)(1)(1)(5)(1) The Eyes of Apsis are out today in force! Aron plunges headfirst...into water, not Muk. It's hard to tell which is which sometimes.

Flame Charge 1
9 base -4 actions = 5d6
(4)(5)(5)(6)(6) A critical hit.
+1 dex
(5)(4)(2) Muk takes 2 dmg 5/10hp -2 pain

Boss Sludge Wave 1
2 Dex + 5 Fight + 2 canalize -2 pain -3 actions = 4d6
(5)(4)(5)(4)
Evasion2: 9 dice, -4 actions = 5d6 (1)(1)(6)(4)(2)
3 Str + 4* power +1 stab. -3 vit =5d6. Aron is immune. Kirlia is +1.
(6)(6)(5)(5)(2) Mudkip and Swiftfire take 4 dmg 2/6hp -2 pain. Kirlia takes 5 dmg 2/7hp -2 pain.
Aron simply lets the poison wash right over him! In fact, it helps him get out of the mud.
Poison: (2)(4) - Looks like this wave is a little more volatile than a normal sludge wave!

Mud Slap 1
7 dice, -3 actions, -2 pain, -1 acc = 1d6
(5)
3 Str + 1 power +0 stab yet =1d6+1
(3) Muk takes 1 dmg 4/10hp -2 pain

Fire Spin 2
10 dice -2 pain -5 actions -2 acc =1d6
(3) No damage to Muk. About all it accomplishes is baking a small area of mud before water douses the fire.

Iron Head 2
(6)(5)(3)(1)
3 Str + 3 power +1 stab -5 =2d6
(5)(3) Muk takes 1 dmg 3/10hp -2 pain
Flinch: (3)(3)(5)

Muk stares down Aron. How has this thing not been hurt yet? It gets its bulk right up close. Aron can smell its foul Stench and he feels brown goo dribbling from Muk's mouth!

Mud Slap 2 on Aron
(6) after acc, pain, and the move's inherent inaccuracy
3 Str +1 power -3 vit = 1d6+2
(4) Aron takes 3 dmg 3/6hp -2 pain
-1 acc for Aron

Mud Slap 2 on Muk
Not enough dice with pain!

Confusion 3
(4)(2)
(1)(2) Muk takes 1 dmg 2/10hp -2 pain
Confusion: (6) Muk is confused!

Ember 3
10 dice -6 -2 pain = 2d6
(4)(5)
(6) Muk takes 1 dmg 1/10hp -3 pain
Burn: (6) Muk is burned!

Iron Head 3
(3) Miss. Aron plunges into Muk's expansive body and sticks there.

Insight: auto fail

Muk raises another muddy fist above Aron, bringing it up for the death stroke! Then it brings its muddy fist plunging down into its own body. It hurks up more mud; suddenly its body is absorbing the wet, filtering soil from the marsh's bottom.

Mud Slap on self
No accuracy dice remain
Dmg: (6)

Kirlia nods as another Muk slays itself in confusion.

Each of you get 5Xp to split among your Pokemon, and gain 5Xp yourself.

Heart finally release the air he was holding. He meet his eyes with Nathan and nod his head. "Man, I didnt think that Muk was so much powerfull! Thanks Arceus you was here. Thanks Nathan. I think I owe you and Kirlia a dinner when we go back to Star City."

"Blegh.  You bet you owe us.  What were you thinking, trying to take on a Muk in its natural habitat all by yourself?!  You're very lucky I was coming back just now."

Kirlia just watches with a satisfied smirk as the Muk sinks into the waters of the swamp (should extinguish that burn, right?).  He's not really acknowledging Heart right now.
