[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

2 successes will be required on that Insight check, and you'll have a -1 penalty if the battle gets particularly messy. Page 44 of the rulebook for more info.

Also remember this is an illegal act under any circumstances...not that it matters one bit this deep inside the earth.

Ventus flies across the dark chasm on Tropius, flanked by his own airborne Pokemon. He finds a ledge where he may land and give orders in relative safety. The bottom of the chasm from this side cannot be seen.

The Gigalith and Golem are perched near the edge of the chasm, perhaps 10' away. They rest against each other, and Ventus can see a thin, brittle crust of sandstone has formed between them. Half-merged, they take up most of the walkway, and Gigalith's spikes reach almost to the low ceiling.

Gigalith's crystals glow and fade rhythmically in time to his breathing. There also seems to be a faint glimmer in his eyes, indicating a small degree of wakefulness. Golem, on the other hand, is retracted deep within his stone shell. His snoring causes minor tremors.

Initiatives:

Malphena: (4) + 6 = 10
Lucifer: (3) + 6 = 9
Golem: (6) +2 dex +1 Survial = 9
Raphael: (2) + 6 = 8
Gigalith: (1) + 2 Dex + 1 Survival = 4

Frowning in thought/intrigue at seeing such a odd phenomena of the two Rock type joined together, and seeing/detecting that only the Gigalith was vaguely aware enough of them to start taking, Ventus decided that he and his family had time to prepare themselves for what could be a very perilous fight. "Lucifer, I need you to provide Tailwind support to everyone before anything else is done, then began wearing away at Gigalith with an Iron Tail. Raphael, Malphena, use Nasty Plot and brainstorm the best possible ways to swiftly disable our foes after they fully rouse themselves, then Confuse both targets with your respective moves. Do you understand, my family," the researcher said, slowly and carefully whispering + enunciating his orders to all of them, as he knew from experience that trying to order more than three Pokémon would be......unwise in most circumstance. However, given how much of a possible threat these two Pokémon could be, more force outweighed the risk of confusion among his ranks!

Order: Since they are both still drowsing for the most part, I want to keep orders for the first round simple and straightforward: Buffing for the whole party, Lucifer trying to chip through Gigilath's Defense with Iron Tail, and Malphena/Raphael using Confuse Ray/Sweet Kiss respectfully to Confuse both targets. Pray that the dice don't overly screw me over.....
