[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Seeing that twig Valder happily and casually chewed on faaaaall and faaaaaaall and faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall gave Shiva an incredibly cold shiver that had nothing to with the steely coldness of the Metagross, nor with the group being up in the mountains at night, nor with the Ranger's cloak having reached its limit to keep one warm.(Never!) She snuggled up closer into the familiar black fabric covering her being, double-checked on the knot of the rop that tighted her both to Metagross and another party member (probably Ven, as he's on the same Metagross + the one Shiva trusts most), before blatantly and directly forcing herself to look up to the cliff in direction Heart, and into the stars.

You're scared, my dear?
...No. Well, a bit. Actually, a lot.
You're not alone here. Concentrate, stay alerted and you should be fine. The stars protect you as well.
Hmm.



...That not-fear only increased at the sight of an ancient Pokemon coming up the cliff they where currently mastering as well! These razorsharp claws, that rocky helmet, that aggressive sparke in its eye... Somewhere she already saw that, but only as a fossil during a visit of Nacrene City's museum: Kabutops. Ugh.

Even ancient things and beings bend under the pressure and glory of nature.
Oh...


If...that's the case, let the glory of nature shine, so out of their Pokeballs came Cottonee and Nightshade! Both sticked close to their Master for warmth and easing nerves, and quickly noticed the threat the group has run into up here. Eh... "Nightshade, dear cherry blossom, don't be afraid. I won't let you fall. Fluffball, dearest, I trust in your loyalty and energy sapping. Right now, we have THIS Kabutos as our enemy, watch closely how your Grass Type moves wear it down. Feel that wind empowering us, go for GigaDrain and Magical Leaves, please. Ah, Cottonee, wait a moment! Please hand me that Incense you're carrying hidden in your fluff. I crafted it on my own, as well I don't think I have any more Spindleweed. Only those herbs Tandal showed me on the way to the village, so it'd be double-saddening especially since there's no chance to retrive it." Oh, she also noticed that Gible... Dragon Slaying ahead~ Beartic... Do want. Such a worthy Pokemon! Gliscors... Ugh. Just...ugh. Shiva was still scared, much, but it seems she makes a fine job hiding it.


------------------------------
NOTE: These calcs are done with +2 Dext by Lucifer's Tailwind. If that's wrong, feel free to substract 2 dice of Accuracy Rolls.

Accuracy Roll GigaDrain1: 5*Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 3 Actions = 7 d6
Accuracy Roll GigaDrain2: 5*Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 4 Actions = 6 d6
Accuracy Roll GigaDrain3: 5*Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 5 Actions = 5 d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strenght + 3 power of the move + 1 STAB = 7 d6 + 2 autodamage due to double-SE
Additional notes: Restores Health half the damage done. Only two actions if Tailwind does not empower us. Switch to Fairy Wind on Gible if Kabutops is down and there are still actions possible. Dark, Water and Grass Type moves from Kabutops are NE on Cottonee.


Accuracy Roll Magical Leaf1: 5* Dext + 2 Survival + 2 Nature - 4 Actions = 5d6
Accuracy Roll Magical Leaf2: 5* Dext + 2 Survival + 2 Nature - 5 Actions = 4d6
Accuracy Roll Magical Leaf3: 5* Dext + 2 Survival + 2 Nature - 6 Actions = 3d6
Accuracy Roll Magical Leaf4: 5* Dext + 2 Survival + 2 Nature - 7 Actions = 2d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strenght + 2 power of the move + 1 STAB = 6d6 + 2 autodamage due to double-SE
Additional notes: This move hits even if the Accuracy Roll fails. Only 3 Actions are taken if Tailwind does not empower us. Switch to Gliscor if Kabutops is down and there are still actions possible, Magical Leaf does normal damage on it. Grass, Ground, Water and Electric Type (Thunder Fang!) moves are NE on Nightshade.
