[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Normally, such unchecked ferocity on his draconic subterror's part ould be a cause of moderate concern (and irritation, potentially anger) for Ran, but in this cause he's in full approval of it, bearing his own teeth at the ironclad mole and jabbed a defiant finger at it and started barking commands almost as savagely as the two tunnel dwellers are growling!

"ZORN, GIVE THAT OVERGROWN SHREW THE MEANEST GLARE YOU GOT, THEN POUND AND SHRED IT INTO MINCEMEAT WITH BULLDOZE, CRUNCH, AND IRON HEAD! SHOW 'EM THAT STEEL TYPE OR NOTHING, YOU DAMN WELL DON'T MESS WITH A DRAGON!!"

Orders: Keeping it simple and straightforward for the brutish terror (Should they listen): Glare (With a Conditional Will Point on it, if he uses it), followed by Bulldoze, Crunch, and Iron Head in that order. If they lose 3 or more HP, they'll be getting a Potion ASAP. Depths Dragon vs Metallic Mole, FIGHT!

Excadrill Round 1

Going all out against a bitter rival is something Zorn has no issues with at all!  RAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRR!!!

GLARE 1
(3)(5)(3)(2)
Excadrill, for the first time in its life, is Paralyzed.  -2 Dex

Excadrill continues sharpening its claws as it glares back at Zorn.  Those pointy fingers look like they could pierce even steel now.

Hone Claws 1
2 Special + 5 Fight + 3 Brawl - 2 = 8
(1)(5)(1)(6)(2)(4)(5)(1)
+1 Str and Acc for the mole!

Bulldoze 2
11 - 4 = 7
(3)(5)(5)(4)(2)(4)(4) The surrounding earth and snow is promptly flattened, and so is Excadrill!  Crit!
2 + 5 - 5* + 2 Crit + SE = 4 D6 + 1
(6)(1)(6)(3) Excadrill takes 3 damage! 7/10 HP -1 Pain
Its Dex would normally decrease by 1, but Excadrill is Paralyzed, so we'll ignore this for now.

Drill Run 2
2* Dex + 5 + 3 - 1 - 1 + 1 - 4 = 5 D6
(2)(1)(1)(6)(3) Excadrill was fully Paralyzed!


Is this Crunch Lethal?
L: (3)(5)(2)
D: (1)(2)(5)(1)

No!  Zorn actually restrains himself this time!  The bite is still incredibly vicious looking, however.

Crunch 3 (Non Lethal)
11 - 6 = 5
(2)(5)(6)(2)(4)
3 + 5 - 5* = 3
(3)(2)(1)
(4)

However, Excadrill's thick, steely hide is difficult to pierce through, even with Zorn's incredible Strength and large jaw.  The mole, confident in its strength, picks up some snow covered rocks and hurls them at the dragon at full force!

Rock Slide 3
2* + 5 + 3 - 1 - 1 + 1 - 6 = 3
(6)(1)(1) Excadrill was fully paralyzed again!

Zorn laughs at the unfortunate turn of events for the mole, and continues his offensive!  One steely head meets as another as the two pokemon headbutt each other simultaneously in an intense rivalry!

Iron Head 4 (Zorn)
11 - 8 = 3
(5)(5)(1)
(4)(5)(1) Excadrill takes 1 damage!  6/10 HP -1 Pain
(6)(3)(5) Excadrill also Flinches 4!  The shame!  The humiliation!  A Dragon is showing up this Excadrill with Steel moves of all things!!!

Despite recoiling from the masterful assault Zorn just launched, this mole doesn't look like it's about to give up any time soon.  However, it DOES appear to be having second thoughts as its muscles seize up again from the paralysis.

Oddly, Zorn also seems to have calmed down a little, actually.  He's...looking at the oversized mole with more respect now?  Huh.  Definitely weird.  The feeling doesn't appear to be mutual right now, though, and Excadrill currently looks like it's going to continue attacking the rival tunnel Dragon.

Excadrill Round 2?
