[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Yes, Shiva would search for things from the art category, I don't know anything I'd specifically search supplies for at the moment, but definitely interested in things the Nature Mailorder would sell. If there's a flora category or something into that direction to search for useful plants especially (not necessarily for medicine), I might choose that one the next time. For now we'll focus on supplies instead of Pokemon, so skipping anything Minccino-related is fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As the log gate closes behind her and a swarm of bird Pokemon flies over her head, Shiva's excitement receives a strong boost and she flinches a bit as her heart starts to race. NOW, she knows, she CAN'T turn back anymore, deep inside her she knows she doesn't even WANT to turn back. She takes a few minutes to calm down and let her gaze wander over the visible area, still getting used to the fact that she now was within the infamous Safari Zone, the place she has heard several times already.

Now, she's able to experience this place herself, only accompanied by her Pokemon - Reshiram shall burn her alive if she won't try hard to make it a pleasant experience! She's a bit unsure however without someone from the party around and all the bugs rustling in the area remind her on Fireweed Forest, but there are Rangers just in case. She'll be safe if she doesn't engage in any obviously dangerous or stupid activities and watches her steps, or so she at least tells herself over and over.


Shiva loooves how this place is more left to Mother Nature's hands, soon her initial worries are secondary. On the map she has bought earlier she immediately marks the location of trees that catch her attention, for example the one to collect bark from later to fold it into a nice basket. :> She also tries the water from the river she's following as she passes Area 1 - It it drinkable water? Vaporeon can help her determine as they prefer clean bodies of water.

About the things Shiva finds I'll elaborate a bit after the battle 'gainst Scolipede, but it's safe to assume that the feather will make her heart skip two beats.


Blinking in the sunlight and shielding her eyes a bit, Shiva looks up the grassy slope she has came to a halt at. These wild Whirlipede make her all nervous and jumpy, but she trusts that as long as she doesn't cross their direct path they'll leave her alone. As that fully evolved SCOLIPEDE however has choosen that female human that has crossed its territory as a target, Shiva fails to hold back a loud and high-pitched cry that scares up some small bird Pokemon on a nearby tree. This is exactly the kind of scenario that she was eager to avoid, it takes a moment for her to remember that she prepared herself for this scenario too however! Taking a firm stance as she tries to handle her ruffled nerves, Shiva immediately summons two Pokemon between herself and the poisonous centipede: It's Delphox accompanied by Primal Glaceon! Both let out an agitated cry and take a protective posture, their message was clear: If you want to get to that human, you have to get past US at first.

"That's the spirit I'd like to see from you two!", Shiva praises them, trying hard to keep a clear voice. "Let us make short shrift of that bug and then resume our path. Remember though, we may NOT faint them as that's not allowed here in the area, so please channel your power accordingly! Keep a safety distance as well, see those claws and throwns? Delphox, my dear.... *dramatic break* You got my allowance to BLAST 'em, show me what you learnt from Noble Arcanine. You, Glaceon, concentrate on your origins and hit the foe with its might! Foe's still a bug after all, just a... huge one...."

Not awaiting the Init Order as it won't have influence on my choosen actions.


Accuracy Roll Delphox' debut of radiant BLAST BURN 1: 4 Dext + 2 Fight + 5 Channel - 1 Inaccuracy - 2 Actions = 8d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 6 power of the move + STAB + held Charcoal = 11d6! And +1 autodamage due to SE, Blaze might add more.
Additional notes: Maximum firepower!~ Lethality is held back of course. I imagine it looking like this when my fox uses this move.

Accuracy Roll Exhaustion after hitting: No need.
Additional notes: It says that '...the User must rest with its first action on the next Round...' on page 272, shouldn't it be the next Action though with our rules??? Basically, this Actions is meant for recharge.


Accuracy Roll Primal Glaceon's Ancient Power 1: 4 Dext + 2 Fight + 5 Channel - 2 Actions = 9d6
Accuracy Roll Primal Glaceon's Ancient Power 2: 4 Dext + 2 Fight + 5 Channel - 3 Actions = 8d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 2 power of the move, no STAB = 5d6 +1 autodamage due to SE.
Additional notes: Primal Powers activated! 1 CD to increase Strength, Dexterity, Vitality and Insight by 1 each.


In case Scolipede attempts to attack Shiva directly, Delphox shall intercept - he hopefull will given his high Loyalty and task to protect his Master from Poison Types. In worst case, Shiva will evade as best as possible. The moment either Delphox or Primal Glaceon get poisoned, Shiva will heal that with an Antidote.
