Sweetroots do count as a Potion, so he's at 5. All HP healing items count unless they say otherwise.



Scimitars Round 4

Night Slash 1
(3)(6)(3)(5)(2)(2)(4) Critical hit.
(3)(3)(1)(1)(6)(1)(4)(3)(1) That was the worst roll ever. But thanks to Lucky Chant, it is enough to faint the guy.
Calam's blade goes bouncing off the Scimitar's metal hand. He grins within his cloak. But his happiness is short lived, as the blade strikes him in the chin on the rebound. His throat is burned and he faints as his gauntlet also kersplodes.

The sandstorm soon subsides. You take shelter before it gets you again.

There are people knocking on the sticky door.

(We've actually seen worse rolls in the Celadon Campaign, believe it or not, and rather frequently, too.  One time, though...got an entire string of (1) results...ick.)

"Don't.  Ever.  Mess with me.  And don't EVER threaten my friends."

Nathan pulls out his 'Dex to give Dagny a call.

If he gets through...

"Dagny, situation's handled.  Two guys part of an organization known as Scimitars came out of a manhole at the base of the tower.  They were after Shiva for some reason, threatened to steal my pokemon.  Had to KO them both.  Get some authorities over here ASAP if they're not already here."

"I've heard a very little about this Scimitar organization. You're going to have to debrief me later. Shieldmaidens and armored police are converging on your location right... now. You may go with them as they take the captives in. And remember, this call and our previous calls are off the record. If you are willing to lie, please say that Absol alerted you to the danger."

Indeed, Nathan can hear a megaphone directing people to step away from the door, then a harsh knocking. "Stair City Police."

Assuming Grid lets them in:

Spoiler

Officer Jenny takes your statement. Let me know if you 'editorialize' anything or if you just tell things as is.
A Shieldmaiden remains behind in case anyone follows through here. 
The police and League officials gather up all the debris into evidence bags: scraps of gauntlet, lots of wiring, robes, a weird ash, and several scraps of what appears to be Pokeballs. They also take a lot of pictures.

What happens next will depend on Ventus+Valder's actions and Nathan's responses, so the police are not yet leaving with the captives.

XP will come when the deal is wrapped up.
