[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

The deep quarry is a somber place. A hewn path winds down toward the bottom, passing repeated engravings of a rarely-known Pokemon which is native to Creshire but seldom seen outside of Alola.



The colors have faded, matching the rest of the mine... except for the bright flashes of MSC, which become less common as you go downward.

At the 25' mark, the light is already very dim, but the MSC clusters disappear. Below this, the quarry was just mined out by Pokemon, not by man. There are lots of little tunnels, the stonework is rougher (except for the path), and water has filled the lowest points with scattered ponds.

Then the quarry begins rumbling, and one wall bursts into rubble! A massive stone snake bursts forth - an Onix!!!

Terra is welcome to participate, or to back off and not split the XP.

Unlike most other Pokemon not native to Hoen, Terra immediately recognizes the towering stone colossus that was Onix explosively making an entrance, and his eyes visibly widen as he quickly backpeddles away to make as much distance from it as possible!

"Onix. Fully Grown Onix. Oh no."

His tone was plain, dull, and filled with apprehension as he stated the obvious, before with a jerk of his head he centered himself and started glaring daggers at the rock garden snake as he plucked Anubi's ball from his belt and summoned them! 

"You will not cause us trouble. One way, or another. Your choice."

The steely brawl gravely levels his ultimative while simultaneously motioning for his blue bomber to prepare themselves for one heck of a tussle, his attention squarely honed only on Onix's own. Contrasting the stony seriousness of his master, Anubi only had to take one look at his gigantic opponent for a wide grin split across his face as he eyed them with an almost hungry expression, shifting into his fighting stance like a coil being tightened, ready to spring on his opponent with gleeful abandon! Most Pokemon would have had second and third thoughts about fighting an Onix or other similarly bulky Pokemon, but for the aural jackal having such beasts as his foes was a dream come true, as he could let loose and fully indulge in his passion for Fighting. He didn't have to worry about going too far or having to hold back with Onix, and could truly do as his master often says: fight with all his might, until he could not.

Win or lose, this battle would be a joy to suffer and savor!!

Orders: Not going to wait on Initiative, since my battle plan doesn't really care about if Anubi goes before or after any other Pokemon. He'll be using Screech, Nasty Plot, and then use 3 Force Palms, and if he falls at/bellow 1/2 HP he'll get a Potion to patch up his injuries (preferably before he uses a Move, to min. Pain). If Screech and/or Nasty Plot misses, then redo them before moving on to the next Action. Terra will also be increasing his Brawl Specialty to 5 for 24 XP, as the threat of Onix is making it reach its zenith! That's all, so let's get into smashing that Onix into blissful unconsciousness!

Also, I'd like to see how much Terra Intimidates an Onix, just for giggles. Having a 15D6 Roll on that should count for something and be used when applicable, right?

Moves:

Anubi : 5 Actions - Screech (5D6 Dice), Nasty Plot (6D6 Dice), Force Palm X3 (5/4/3D6 Dice; 8-*10D6 Base Damage Dice [With/without Nasty Plot Boost, and not factoring in Screech], *Paralyze 3*)
Conditional Moves: Repeat Screech and Nasty Plot, if necessary; Will get Potion if HP falls at/bellow 1/2 HP, or a Super Potion if he takes 6 or more Damage.
Dice Pools: 10D6 Dice (Channel), 12D6 (Brawl and Intimidate [Nasty Plot])
