Heart vs Nathan Round 3

Orthros is moving at the high speed Nathan's training is famous for! He runs here and there, positioning himself to land fire attacks on the Steel type.

Ember 1 on Aron
(4)(6)(4)(1)(1)(1)
Evasion: 3 Dex + 2 Fight +1 evasion -3 actions = 3d6
(6)(3)(3) The slow little armorball isn't fast enough to avoid being outflanked by the predator.
(5)(4)(5) Aron takes 3 dmg 3/6hp -2 pain
Burn: (2)

Obedience: (6) vs (5)(4)

Slowking's fourth move of the battle will be Confusion, not Water Gun as Nathan suggests.

Confusion 1 on Aron
(6)(2)(5)(5)(4)(6) I guess he knew that would be a critical hit.
Evasion: No dice. Heart's orders of evasion are just really unlikely to work against a faster opponent. Probably not a great strategy.
3 Str + 2 power + 1 stab + 2 crit - 3vit = 5d6 -1 Steel
(4)(3)(1)(4)(1) Aron takes 1 dmg 2/6hp -2 pain
Confusion: (6) Aron is confused.

Mudkip hasn't been targeted, so he paws the ground and whips up a Mud Slap. Mud is one thing that is not lacking here, so I'm going to give it a +1 dice bonus on attack and dmg.

Mud Slap 1 on Orthros
8 dice, -3 actions, +1 muddy terrain = 6d6
(4)(2)(3)(5)(5)(6)
3 Str +1 power +1 Stab +1 terrain -3 vit =3d6+1
(5)(4)(3) Orthros takes 3 dmg 3/6hp -2 pain
-1 accuracy

Ember 2
(3)(3) Orthros aims through the pain, but misses!

Aron's second move was also an evasion, so it's on to Slowking.

Obedience: (5) vs (4)(4)

Confusion 2
(6)(5)(1)(1)(4)
(6)(1)(2) No damage for Aron, thanks to his resistance.

Mudkip still hasn't been targeted. This is his natural habitat and he will not be daunted!

Mud Slap 2
(5)(1)(5)(2)(6)
(2)(1)(6) Orthros takes 2 dmg,so he's out of the fight.

Rock Tomb 3
8 dice, -5 actions, -2 pain = 1d6
(2) It misses.
Insight: (5) Luckily, he does not damage himself, having the presence of mind to dodge out of the way when Heart warns him he's loosed stones upon himself!

Solomon only declared two actions.

Mud Slap 3
(4)(5)(2)(2)
(3)(2) Thanks to Curse, no damage to Solomon. However, -1 Accuracy.


Heart will get XP for at least two victories, but Nathan seems to be well on track to winning the battle.
