[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

Original Post

Espeon is 100% guarding Rui in this scenario.  He won't let those Dragons get anywhere near her if he can help it.  Rui's watching what happens very, very carefully from her position in the back.  She may not be a trainer, but she is fairly observant.

Karen takes a few deep breaths and reaches for her pokeballs, muttering under her breath.  "...don't grab the wrong ones this time, Karen..."  Two bright flashes of light later, and her Gastrodon and Nidoqueen both appear, ready to battle!

"I don't think those Dratini are going to leave us alone...they're swimming in some kind of formation..."

Shadow Dragonair Round 1 Initatives
Dragonair: (5) + 10 = 15
Scizor: (5) + 9 = 14
Octavia: (3) + 7 + 2 = 12
Dratini x5: (3) + 8 = 11
Nidoqueen: (1) + 8 = 9
Aspid: (3) + 6 = 9
Astoria: (1) + 7 = 8

As long as Rui's safe, sound and guarded by this special Espeon, Kee's going to be fine and delighted and focus most of his attention on the horde of dragons ahead - 'most' instead of 'all' since he prefers to leave a backdoor open and switch to protecting her shall all else fail. He's a man who keeps his word and SO HE WILL !!1!1!

When Karen summoned her nice big Nidoqueen, Kee gives her a worried glance and opts to issue a warning: "Karen-dear, be mindful 'bout those dragon possibly knowin' how to sweep your poisonous queen by 'ngulfing themselves or their tail in water, 'kay? 'Kay!"

And upon Rui voicing her feeling that the batch of Dratini won't just stay there and observe things, he gives them a serious and determined glance, and Octavia chosses to hiss at them AS WELL. "Ohoooo, so ya want some too, smol 'n nice Dratini, huh? Well then COME 'N GET SOME, but dontcha whine 'bout me bein' the aggressor...~ Anywae, Karen, Scizor, do as ya wish but I'm gonna concentrate on knockin' out Dagonair FIRST!"

Kee's going to gamble that these dragons know more physical than special moves and lets his faeeveelution go directly info offensive mode instead of summoning a sparkling Light Screen. "Let 'em see stars my dearest and go robbin' Dragonair of their vigor in tha most flirty way possible; though be mindful 'bout 'em summoning 'nother tornado an' disarm 'em with yar voice in case, also react 'corrdingly shall they boost 'emselves!~" And now for his precious Absol's debut: "Dontcha fear that shadowy dragon Astoria, if ya listen to mah voice and make good use of all those nasty tricks ya know we'll get throught this nice 'n smoothly !~~ Taunt that dragon, use their rage 'GAINST 'em, then protect yarself from this rage! Got it?~~ Good, I'm countin' on ya!!~"

What he also asks his two battlers to do but doesn't say aloud and instead shows them via gestures, is seeking cover from Dragonair's and Dratini's attacks behind the stalagmites in this cave. Both a Sylveon and an Absol are relatively small, so I hope they grant Full cover?

Furthermore, A Super Potion is reserved for both shall they fall to 2 or 1HP.

Octavia's Actions:

Accuracy Roll Swift 1: 3 Dext + 4 Fight + 3 Channel - 2 Actions = 8d6
Damage Roll: 4 Special + 2 power + Pixilate Bonus + *STAB = 8d6 +1 autodamage due to SE

Conditional 3rd Action

Spoiler

• If Dragonair or any of the Dratini uses Agility or Dragon Dance, copy that boost with Psych Up. Base Accuracy Pool is 4 Insight + 4 Fight + 3 Channel = 11d6.
  
• If two or more allies are paralyzed via Thunder Wave or otherwise suffer a Status Ailment, cure those with a Heal Bell. Base Accuracy Pool is 4 Special + 4 Contest + 3 Perform = 11d6.
  
• If Octavia hasn't used Swift or Draining Kiss yet, use it as a third Action, prioritize Swift before Draining Kiss.
  
• If nothing of the above applies, use an Echoed Voice which has the same dicepool in Accuracy and Damage like Swift but hits only Dragonair and is soundbased.
