[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Reiner simply shrugs when Taylor asks why he evolved Ridia into the Savage variant.  "Because Ridia's a brawler, this is the evolution she chose, and I made sure to stress that she shouldn't give in entirely to her savage instincts before I evolved her.  And the evolution quite suits her, honestly, nor are her savage instincts usually this...potent.  Interestingly, the only reason Inari evolved into the Noble variant was due to it being a completely accidental discovery, despite having a personality very similar to Ridia's.  Risks of groundbreaking research and all that.  Inari would have probably preferred the Savage variant, to be perfectly honest.  The Eevee that ended up evolving into the Savage variant actually belonged to one of my mother's friend's, apparently.  It's rather ironic, all things considered.  And of course, the Elders wanted to know how my mother had done it when she finally puzzled out how to evolve Eevee into Wyvreon.  You can probably imagine how that went for them, though."  Reiner chuckles.

As for Taylor's second string of comments...

Reiner sighs in response to those.  "...you don't even know the half of it, Taylor."  And that's all Reiner has to say about that for now.


He coolly motions to Ridia.  While he is prepared to put a stop to this himself if he has to, he doesn't think she's out of control just yet...

"Continue, Ridia.  Let's find out how Taylor plans to deal with your Strength and Speed.  There's little need for your strategy to be more complex than 'attack' at the moment, correct?"

*snarl* (though whether she's snarling at the Scizor or snarling at Reiner's orders is up for debate...at least she's not going to seriously injure anyone, though, so yay?)

Bite x3!
Acc: 6* + 5 + 3* - 3/4/5 = 11/10/9 D6
Dmg: 7* + 2 + 1 TC - 4* = 6 D6
Eff: Flinch (3)

"*Sigh, and then shrugs* Fair enough reasoning, I suppose. Shame about Inari becoming Noble, if he was a fierce little guy, but at least he or your ma doesn't have to worry about temper issues. Still, I'd have second and third thoughts about Evolving my partners into something that only seems half a twitch away from tearing anything to bloody ribbons, *Shrugs* ...but that's just me. You do you, partner, is all I can really say....oh, and the Elders are morons, and several other things that I can't say right now."

Taylor doesn't have anything else to say, and she quickly makes some arcane hand gestures towards Royce, who seems to understand them implicitly judging by how he shifts into a different stance. And Ridia....

Ridia's Loyalty: (2)(4)(3) 1 Success
Ridia's Disobedience: (5)(2)(6) 2 Successes, Nope....

Well, she disagreed with your orders, *Rrrowling* out her dissent before she goes with her own plan of attack! Oh dear.....

Reiner vs Talyor Round 3!

The raging dragoness starts off by letting off a sharp, menacing *RRRARRR!* at the Shiny snapper, trying to cow the Bug into submission!

Growl
Accuracy: DEX + Fight + Perform (0) - 3 Action = 6D6 Dice
(1)(2)(1)(2)(6)(2) Royce is entirely unaffected, as he raises his pincers close to his chest, and they started to glow white!

Sword Dance EX!
Accuracy: DEX + Fight (*7 [Surprise: Enhanced Technician!) + Perform (3) - 1 Pain - 5 Actions = 10D6 Dice
(5)(2)(4) (4)(3)(1) (3)(3)(3) (1)
The light surrounding Royce's pincer burst in a flash, revealing Mega Scizor claws in their place! Each of Royce's Attacks will deal a second seperate hit (Its dice does not affect the main hit, and vice versa) that does 1/2 Damage Dice of the First hit, rounded down!

Unamused and uncowed, Ridia lets out a thunderous *SIGH* of disrespect......but not before the heavy metal insect surges forward with a brutal clamp raised!

Bullet Punch
Accuracy: DEX + Fight + Brawl - 1 Pain - 6 Actions = 11D6 Dice
(2)(5)(1) (4)(5)(1) (6)(6)(3) (3)(2) Just a Hit. Barely.
Damage: STR (*4) + 2 + STAB + *Enhanced Technician (2) + Bright Silver Coat Powder (1) - Vitality (5) = 5D6 Dice First Hit, 2D6 Dice Second
(1)(4)(5)(1)(1)
(4)(3) Ridia takes 2 Damage; 8/10 HP, - 1 Pain!

Yawn
Accuracy: DEX + Fight + Channel - 1 Pain - 4 Actions = 9D6 Dice
(2)(1)(1) (5)(5)(5) (1)(2)(1)
Royce is feeling Drowsy and insulted!

Irritated by such a ploy, Royce continued to hammer away at the Fox Dragon Goddess with a lightning quick, but she beat him to it by pouncing on him with LUDICROUS -

Extreme Speed!
(3)(5)(3) (5)(5)(6) (2)(2) Hits!
(5)(5)(1)(5)(3)(6)(4) Royce takes 4 Damage; 2/10 HP, - 2 Pain!

Bullet Punch 2
(1)(3)(4) (1)(4)(2) (3)(3)(2) Still a hit, but a much more clumsy one; Even a Resisted blow from the wolverine dragoness hurt like heck.
(1)(3)(5)(3)(4)
(1)(1) Ridia takes 2 Damage; 6/10 HP

Out of Actions, Ridia could only snarl as Royce quietly and efficiently did his level best to take her down before he succumbs to slumber....

Bullet Punch 3
(5)(3)(2) (3)(5)(6) (1) Hits
(4)(2)(4)(1)(6)
(4)(3) Ridia takes 4 Damage; 2/10 HP

Bullet Punch 4
(3)(2)(5) (6)(6)(4) Hits
(2)(2)(5)(1)(5)
(5)(1) Ridia's clock is clean by the next blow aimed square at her head, causing her to fly backwards and be splayed out on her side in front of you, completely out cold. 

The aura surrounding her faded shortly thereafter, and her formerly wild and RAGING expression soften to something almost.....peaceful. Poe stops cheering/watching the battle at that point and races over to check on her, leaping onto her chest and prodding it as he started sadly/with worry at her. Big Sis, are you....alright? Please, be alright......

Subsequently Rocye's eyes closed too as he drifted off to Sleep, no longer able to ward off its clutches with his unbending conviction. At the very least, he took out the demon dragon fox before it wrought havoc on the rest of his Master's team and his companions, so he could rest easy.

For her part, your old partner just shook her head and let out a great big *Sigh* of relief, before giving you a wane smile.

"Welp, all's well that ends well, eh partner? Heh heh.....doesn't feel much like a win and more like I barely dodged a Bullet Punch from Royce, but I'm still glad she's taken care of. *Shrugs* Still, Royce is snoozing and almost on his last knees too, so its not good for me too. *Shrugs* Going to keep him out, though, since even though I know he's toast to whatever you send out, at least I'll get to see what brute you'll release so I can counter it *Snap!* just like that. So, let's see what else you got!"

Royce is at 2/10 HP, Sleeping, and has + 1 Defense/Sword Dance EX Buff. Initiative is 13.

Reiner vs Taylor Battle Round 4 will begin shortly, right after the next Pokemon is selected!
