[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Redstone]

Spoiler

A full on pivot to shock and awe scare tactics, after Ecclesia got caught out and in light of previous info? *Smiles* Well, that's careful and cunning! Let's see how that pans out, shall we?

Also, here's the Current Count for Downed BBs: 1/20 (Not counting the Head Goon and the Harassing Goons)!

===

Your urchin amigo wastes zero time scuttling up onto your scalp, though your light chiding causing them to wiggle about bashfully (or so you feel). They'll try their best to limit the Burning power of their Move, no matter how difficult it can be.

Lani hops out of your backpack and takes your left side, a positively frenetically savage grin on her face as she flexed her sharp claws in anticipation of a good 'Scare and Tear' . Group Battles were a common enough test of mettle for some of the stronger Alola Mons, considering their commonality, and Fighting villainous and nasty Dark types is an especially favorite past time for her lineage. Combine them together and you get one heck of a pumped up Pseudo! Pseudo Status will be Enhanced for this Encounter.

Kayla simply nods and lets you get on without complaint, calmly chewing some cud as they eyed the goons they were about to finish riling up even more, for better and worse. She didn't like such vigorous activity even on the best of days, but if it was for a good cause she'd put in a bit more effort in than usual. Kayla gains + 2 Athletics for this Encounter, and + 1 Accuracy Dice to her Moves.

You let out a sharp, high pitch whistle that reverbs ominously throughout the Gloomy woods, causing Ecclesia to perk up and begin to head back towards the reunion point, doing her best to take care of any goons in her path. She'll meet with you within *Rolls 1D4*  2 Rounds, and she'll Encounter *Rolls 1D4*  only 1 of the Goon heading and their Mon heading towards her hiding spot on the way back; this battle will be handled off screen!

All that done you send any prayers you have to your Patron, Steel yourself, and ride out to meet the the goons, going full speed and yelling at the top of your lungs! The BBs as a whole immediately turn towards the direction you are charging from, looking at your sudden appearance with gapped jaws and wide eyes for a moment...!

Shock and Awe: First Contact!
Roll: STR (3 + *2 from Lani) + Fight (*4, from Kayla) + Intimidate (*2 [Lani] + *1 [You, Temp Bonus] X 2 = 6) + Oh $h!t, a Pseudo! (+ (6)(6) Successes) = 15 + 2 Dice
(2)(4)(4)(2)(3) (2)(4)(3)(3)(3) (3)(6)(5)(4)(6) + 2 = 9 Successes!

BB's Resolve: First Contact!
Remaining BBs: 19 - 3 (Heading towards Ecclesia's Old Hiding Spot) = 16 
STR and Fight Bonus: 16/4, 16/8 = + 4, + 2
Base [Averaged] STR, Fight, and Brawl = 3, 2, 2

9 - 6 = 3 Successes Total, Win!

Terrified!
3 + 1D4  (4!) = 7 BB Goons Affected!

7 BBs completely rout, either fleeing from you, immediately dropping to the ground and Surrendering, or just plain Fainting in FEAR!

Scared!
3 + 1D4 (3) = 6 BB Goons Affected!
Will Penalty: 5D6 + 1 (Spooked!)
(5)(1)(5)(3)(3) 3 Success

6 BBs lose 3 Will, and become Scared: - 1 Dice to Combat, X2 Against Lani!

Current Count: 19 - 3 - 7 = 9 BBs Remaining; 6 Scared!

Only a scant few don't look like they're ready to piss their pants or are shaking in their gaudy boots, who are quick to yell at their comrades to  "Stop being fucking Fairy Pansies!" and arm up. 3 BBs Summon Two Pokemon each, a mixture of Dark and Poison Types, and are quick to arm themselves with Spiked Bats. The others only summon 1 Pokemon, too Unnerved and Scared to do much else beyond mustering a weak resistance!

[Normally, I'd give back control for you to plan against this, but....well, you'll se shortly ; ) ]

5 BBs charge back towards you (1 of them the 'Brave' ones), hollering at the top of their lungs and waving about their weapons, their Pokemon partners joining in with gritty defiance! 

*Woosh*

Lani, who was keeping pace by your side, bolts forward, a literal blur of violence as she *Howls* at the top of her lungs, both her fists primed and - !!! 

Pseudo Bonus Enhanced - Lani enters a Draconic Fighting Battle Frenzy! +2 to ALL Stats! No Action Cost for her First Action! She can Spam/Re-use 1 Move Per Combatant , and she chooses Bullet Punch EX! Due to this choice she engages each Combatant in a One Sided Lighting 1v1 Round!

Total Number of Combatants: BBs (5) + Brave's Mons (2) + Other Mons (5) = 12 Combatants Total

Total Rolls Required: 3D4
(3)(1)(5) 8

Base Accuracy of BBEX: DEX (*8) + Fight (*8) + Brawl (*5) - 8 -  0/2/4/6/8/10/12/14 = 21 - 8/10/12/14/16/18/20/22 Dice
Lani is using Conditional Will Points for All her Rolls

*Rolls* 6 Successes; Crit  *Rolls*  2 Successes
*Rolls* 6 Successes; Crit  *Rolls*  1 Successes

*Pow* *POW!* *POW!!* POW!!!* Scared BB 1 takes 2 Damage (- 1 Pain), Scared BB 2 takes 6 Damage (-2 Pain), and both their Pokemon are OHKOed.

Will Save - 2 - Pain : (3)(4)(1), (1) 

Scared BB 1 manages to grit their teeth and keep their resolve, but the second one panics and flees, taking his partner with him!

Total Combatants Remaining: 19 - 3 - 7 - 4 = 5 BBs , 1 Currently Engaged in Combat with Lani

In an instant, the first wave of goons were decimated, utterly crushed by the sheer speed and ferocity of your Pseudo Dragon's flurry of punches. Lani stands before the last remaining BB, shimmering brightly in sweat, Shininess, and the steel coating her Move gave her, her eyes contracted into tiny pinpricks as she bared her teeth at her foe, snarling with battle lust and RAGE like the angry Dragon she was!


....Before she retched, turning her head to the side and puking blood as she drops to a knee, totally spent from her blitzkrieg assault. Lani takes 10 Lethal Damage; 10/10 HP, 10 LD, - 2 Pain. She is also Deeply Exhausted: - 2 to all Combat Rolls. Enhanced Pseudo Mod Ended.


The remaining BB before you is Stunned by this, as well as quite overwhelmed in general: he Skips his Reactions against Lani.

Silence. Pure silence as you came to a stop before the BB, the rest of the basic goons staring at you with a mixture of anger (the Brave ones), fear (the Scared ones), and GREAT anxiety and stress (All). The Harassing Goons (not counted in the previous totals, as a reminder) look paler than a poor bastard that had a run in with Tapu Lele, while the Head Goon looked both nervous as hell and deeply upset with this development.

Everyone awaits your response, and what exactly you and your Partners were going to do next...

1 Round's worth of time Passed; 1 Round remaining until Ecclesia Rejoins.

His visage remains calm and focused despite internally freaking out about Lani's feat. The poor girl gave it her all, maybe a bit too much. He could use this to his advantage though!

He sits up straight and speaks out with all the authority he can muster:

''Leave, leave now and do not return. Fighting is futile, you can see what happened to your group with just one of my pokemon and it won't be pretty if this continues.''

He would still take precautions. ''Nalu use Wide Guard.'' (acc 3dex + 3fight + 5 channel - 2act= 9d6) With these words he jumps down besides Kayla. He recalls Lani to the safety of her ball and points to the last goon who was fighting her (should he still be ready to throw down). ''Kayla, High horsepower! (on that guy's pokemon). (acc 3dex + 3fight +5brawl +1horse bonus -2act = 10d6; damage 3str + 4 = 7d6)
