[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Yeah, there isn't much of a trail to follow when it comes to the diamond dust.  The majority of it that Randolph can find is scattered around the hole that was dug.

Karen definitely looks ready to help with that Shadow Rhyperior.  "I've been meaning to get into a battle since we reached this floor, and this is as good a chance as any!  I know exactly who I want to use!"

Randolph's description of doom and gloom seems to scare Rui off of participating in the encounter, though.  "...I-I'll just be over there, waiting for you guys to finish up."

----------------------------------

As soon as Rhyperior sees Randolph and Karen coming, it crouches down and aims its arms with open palms at them like cannons.  It's definitely guarding the northern path.

Karen sends out her Roserade and...Magneton?  "I don't care how bulky this rhino thinks it is!  It's going down!"

Rhyperior Round 1 Initiatives
Rhyperior: (4) + 9 = 13
Paula: (1) + 9 = 10
Magneton: (5) + 5 = 10
Lotus: (1) + 7 = 8

(Welp, the Initiative seems to hate both Ran's and Karen's Statusers , so let's hope S.Rhyperior doesn't end up murdering one of the party before they get a chance to act)

Ran's partially relieved that Rui elected to stay well away from the rocky kaiju, but that feeling is countered when Karen steps up to the plate to help him out.

" *Frowns, but Nods* ...Very well. If you're spoiling for a Fight, then that beast over there is going to give ya your fill and then some. Let's go."

Upon engaging the enemy and finding it to be much faster that their partners, the bristly blacksmith is alarmed, exasperated, and gravely annoyed ('How in the fucking hell is a RHYPERIOR faster than them?!'), but the wee lass' battle cry cuts off any vocal objection to these events. Instead, he swallows his anger (for now) and roars out his own defiance towards the stony guardian, both hands clenched tightly!

"That's the spirit, lass! Paula, do what you do best and Sing that titan to Sleep, then give us a Lucky Chant, daze it with your Water Pulse, and then Charm'em! Karen, if your Roserade can Paralyze that sucker or put it to Sleep, then I can focus on Paula acting as support for all of us, but whatever you do make sure it ends up brutalizing that Rhyperior before it gets the chance to do the same to us! Everyone, prepare yourselves for the worst!

Orders: I really don't want that S.Rhyperior using the myraid of deadly Moves tha)t can murderlize anyone of the group's Pokemon (or all of them at once[/i], so let Paula put it to Sleep (Conditional Willpoint it, damn it!), then Lucky Chant because I'm not going without it in ANY battle Paula's in, then Water Pulse for a Confuse Proc and some chip Damage (hopefully), then Charm to weaken it some. If Karen's Roserade knows Sleep Powder (And Karen tells him/everyone) and says she'll try to get them to use it, Paula will use Charm instead of Sing first and Draining Kiss last, and if they would use Stun Spore as their first Move (and Karen would announce it to Ran) Paula will use Water Pulse first to hopefully get a Parafusion combo going early on, then go with Lucky Chant, Charm, and Draining Kiss. If Paula get's slammed for 3 HP or more, immediately Potion her. Bit of a complicated chain of commands, but I want to be prepared and ready to exploit my partner's actions, and vice versa!
