[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Zorn gives Randolph a really toothy, almost smug looking, 100% confident grin.  He knows he can beat this chump.  He's proven what he wanted to.  It doesn't look like he's gonna let that mole simply leave, though!  (Or that the mole wants to leave right now, for that matter.)

Excadrill Round 2

Zorn sharpens his claws, gearing up to continue the fight, just in case.

Hone Claws 1
(6)(1)(6)(4)(1)(1)
+1 Str and Acc for Zorn!

Excadrill, starting to get a little desperate, lunges for Zorn, aiming to deal a critical blow!  A single hit from this mole could blast through most typical pokemon with how sharp those claws are!

Drill Run 1
2* + 5 + 3 - 1 - 1 + 1 - 2 = 7
(5)(1)(2)(4)(5)(4)(2) And a critical blow it is as Excadrill's entire body becomes an almost lethal whirlwind!  Crit!
6* Str + 3 + STAB - 3 + 2 Crit = 9 D6
(5)(5)(4)(2)(5)(5)(2)(1)(2) Zorn takes 5 damage! 3/8 HP -2 Pain
(4)(2) Excadrill takes 1 damage from Zorn's Rough Skin 5/10 HP -2 Pain

Zorn grits his teeth as the Excadrill barrels into him at high speed, but he stands his ground and grips the mole with both claws, holding it in place so Randolph can get a clear shot!

Dusk Ball 1
(5)(5)(2)(1)
(5)(5)(1)(1)(3)(6)(1)(5) 3 successes
9 - 2 Pain - 1 Para = 6
(1)(3)(3)(5)(3)(1) 0 successes.  This is one unlucky mole, isn't it?

Gotcha!  Excadrill was caught!

Zorn lets out a breath in relief as soon as Excadrill is sucked into the Dusk Ball and STAYS there.  He finds a nearby rock and sits down next to it, seemingly not caring about the cold and snow very much right now.

Zorn gets 8 exp, and Randolph gets 4.
