[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Mikaruge108]

Fortunately, it's easy to tell it isn't an actual Houndoom, as the image is transparent, but in the heat of the moment, that might not be very obvious at all when Karen turns around and sees it...

(I normally don't do my own rolls [...well, I have been rolling my Pokemon's abilities]), but let me do an alert roll to gauge her reaction)
Insight(3)+Survival(2)+Alert(2)-completely off guard(3)= 4D6; OOC note, she'll have to either tie (3 successes) or ace her roll to notice that its an illusion
(5)(1)(1)(1)= 0 successes oof...
When Karen turns around, she comes face to face with a snarling Houndoom! Her eyes go wide as saucers, and screams bloody murder at the shock! She crouches on the floor, muttering incoherently; the only thing that can be made out is "Please make it stop!" and is bawling her eyes out.

Octavia's still enjoying Karen's company, and in the heat of the moment her desire to protect the young lady is stronger than her wariness and skepsis of Fire Types: She takes a defending stance in front of her and sharply hisses at that make-believe-doomdog, but her ears are lowered as a sign of subtle fear. Probably won't make a move herself unless that 'dog' comes too close. Or until Karen herself asks her to deal with it.

Considering Karen's current state, it'd be safe to say Octavia does take some sort of action!
