[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Spoiler

Oh yeah, Nathan's definitely blinking after that surprise, full powered Flash!  "...wait, was that...?  Gah, this is bothersome..."

Good thing we used that Spider Web and Attract!  Now we just have to keep both pokemon from getting removed from the battle so those effects stay.

I guess Nathan's not going to be able to use another pokeball this round unless he can manage to get right next to Bulba and bop it over the head with one without throwing it.  And even then, he might not know what kind of pokeball it is unless it's a Great Ball.  So guess there's not going to be doing a capture attempt this round as he tries to get his bearings.

The good news is that P-Bulba is likely unable to move very much due to both the Paralysis and the Spider Web, so Juliet should at least know the general direction the saurian is in.  (Side Note: Illusion is still intact)

Grid's still focusing on Evading!

"Juliet, use Calm Mind, then attempt to use Confuse Ray if you can figure out where Bulbasaur is while you're focusing!"

Calm Mind
Acc: 12 - 2 Actions - 3 Flash = 7 D6
Effect: +1 Str and Def
Note: Helps Juliet calm down and recenter herself.  She might be able to more easily hear and/or psychically sense where Bulba is while doing this
Note 2: Won't increase her Defense while she's holding the Eviolite, but eh

Confuse Ray (but if she can't figure out where Bulba is, she won't attempt this)
Acc: 12 - 3 - 3 = 6 D6
Effect: Confuses the target
Note: More bright lights!  Juliet might not have to be aiming this exactly where Bulba is for it to land

Grid is going to evade 3 times again.  So long as he remains, at least, Bulba definitely isn't going anywhere.

Evade: 12 base - 3/4/5 - 1 Flash = 8/7/6 D6

Well, this certainly got a lot more interesting all of a sudden...

Primal Bulbasaur Round 2

Calm Mind 1
(2)(6)(3)(5)(5)(2)(3)
Juliet centered herself.

Another burst of light from Bulbasaur, this one more focused. A beautiful earthen smell wafts through the area.

Since it's on Grid, no Insight check is necessary. Still paralyzed.
Power Gem 1
(1)(1)(6)(5)(5) = 2 successes
Evade 1: (4)(6)(4)(5)(4)(2)(2)(4) Easy peasy. 

By this point, Terra has picked up the Ultra Ball.


Thanks to her psychic centering, she can more easily sense where Bulbasaur is, and she really only needs to get close with the entrancing lights.
Confuse Ray 2
(6)(3)(2)(3)(2)(1)
Bulbasaur became confused.

Seals: (6)(5)(4)(4)(6)(3) = 5 successes
Will: (1)(1)(6)(1) No problem at all! Primal Bulbasaur was caught!

The blindness wears off after a Round. The Accuracy penalty stays until basic medical attention is given and the afflicted characters have a chance to rest their eyes.

I'll give you the stats so you can decide what you want to do! 

Primal Bulbasaur
2/2/2
Ability: Clear Body
Surprise: +1 Insight
3 Base HP (he'll follow normal Bulbasaur-family size as he evolves)
