[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

They're around, at various places in town. Both seem to be training.

[Iron]

Auger Round 1

Cottonee: (6) +2 Dex +1 survival = 9
Lapras: (4) + 2 Dex + 1 Survival = 6
Abra: (1) + 3 = 4 (not that it matters)

Growth
Actually 2 Dex + 1 Survival + 0 Nature for accuracy
(2)(2)(5)
Cottonee's offense goes up by 1 stage

Confuse Ray
2 Dex + 2 Fight + 1 Canalize = 5 dice
(4)(5)(4)(1)(2)

Cottonee is confused!

Abra gets up and pads over to Lapras. When he gets there, he makes a sudden noise to get Lapras' attention. The larger Pokemon turns its attention toward him.

Auger Round 2
My bad on the Accuracy Roll! Must have mixed it up with a different thing accidently.


Upon  being greeted the Lapras in its full size, Shiva was stunned for a moment... But, now it's not the time for admire an enemy's Pokemon! This was a battle! Concentrate!

Seeing the Lapras bringing up Confuse Ray and her fluffball now floating around aimlessly, Shiva remembered that...Persim Juice from Shuckleball... Quickly she drew it from bagpack, and ran over to use it on the now even fluffier Cottonee. Not risking anything here, she was relying on her Pokemon! Mentioned fluffball was thankful for it, and gave her caretaker some sort of a smile before facing the battlefield again.

As she did so as well, Abra was close to the Lapras... But she couldn't make out what he was up to. But...better not interupt here with an action. She trusted that he knew what he was doing.

"Cottonee, stay away from the Lapras. Do not get in your battle partner's way, rather give me a boosted Fairy Wind from safe distance!"

Orders for this round: Cottonee's Fairy Wind, Helios seems to..act on his own.
Effect: Damage! If we hit.
Secondary Effect: Maybe distracting the Lapras from Abra.
Pain Penalization: 0 on both Pokemon.
Accuracy Roll: 2 Dexterity + 1 Fight + 0 Channel = 3 D6dice
Damage Roll: 2 Strenght (+1 due to Growth) + 2 Power of the move + 1 STAB = 5 dice
Additional notes: Hoping tha Heios does know what he does.

Auger Round 2

Lapras is having a staring contest with Helios, when suddenly without warning she opens her mouth and lets fly a blast of cold.

Ice Shard - increased priority
(2)(3)(6)(5)(1) 2 successes.

Evasion: 2 dex + 1 fight = 3 dice
(2)(1)(6) Abra wasn't quiiite ready for that!

Dmg: 2 Str + 2 power +1 stab - 2 vit = 3 dice
(6)(5)(6) Ouch. Abra takes 3 damage. -2 pain.

Abra floats over to the far end of the battle arena, but you can tell he's moving slower.


Fairy Wind
(6)(3)(6) It's an easy target to hit!
Dmg: 5 dice, -2 vit = 3 dice
(3)(1)(5) Lapras takes 1 damage.

Auger Round 3

Auger Round 3
How about a theme for her relatively rare Trainer Battles?
Yes, it is the same like that one from the Nurse Joy Battle in Trillium.



Okay. Okay. She was not expecting this... Before Helios could do something - IF it wanted to do something apart from starring, that is - the Lapras just prevented this with a blasted priority move. Damn.

Seeing that the Psychic Pokemon was in pain by moving slower... "Listen up! Teleporting is your speciality, right? Then please use that power to return to me - It's fine for now!"

Accuracy Roll Teleport: 1 Strenght + 1 Fight + 0 Channel - 2 Pain = ... Just a Luck Dice. Oh well.
Effect: IF it succeeds, the Pokemon is withdrawn from battle and comes safely back to me.


Looks like this will be a battle only for Cottonee now. "Listen, lil' fluffball, now the battle depends on you! Stay in safe distance, and drain your opponents energy! But take care of the Ice Shards, you've seen what they do!"

Order for this Round: Cottonee's boosted Absorb. If the Lapras prepares Ice Shard again, we try to evade that!
Effect: Damage!
Secondary Effect:! Restores HP half the damage inflicted.
Possible Evasion Roll: 2 Dexterity + 1 Fight + 0 Evasion = 3 D6dice
Accuracy Roll: 2 Dexterity + 1 Fight + 0 Channel = 3 D6dice
Damage Roll: 2 Strenght (1 on default, +1 due to Growth) + 1 Power of the move + 1 STAB = 4 D6dice + 1 autodamage due to super effective
Pain Penalization: 0 so far.
Additional Notes: Leveling up on Channel after this battle is a good idea.

[Iron]

All accuracy rolls depend on Dexterity in my rules. When it says "Special + Fight + Canalize" in the rulebook, replace that with *Dexterity* + Fight + Canalize.

If the Accuracy Roll says something like "Tough + Contest + Nature", that becomes "Dexterity + Fight + Nature." Just wanted to make this clear!

Which means Abra actually has one dice for Teleport.



Auger Round 3

Cottonee is pestering Lapras again, using Absorb.

Absorb
(6)(2)(4)
(3)(4) + 1 Lapras takes 2 damage. 7/10, -1 pain.

Rain Dance
(3)(2)(6)(4)(6)
It begins to rain. Cottonee's fur gets all matted.

Teleport
(5)

Abra returns to Shiva's side. He doesn't seem perturbed by what he went through, and begins a nap.

Auger Round 4

(Thanks, made a paper note about Accuracy! My, I need to get used to battling again after so much Daycare and Festival.)


Auger Round 4
Current theme


Oh my. Shiva was absolutely relieved that this went well... Not imaginable what could have happened if Teleport failed! It was good to see that Helios did seemed  way less worried than his caretaker, given that he began to nap all peacefully. She gently petted the Pokemon's head. "You did great. Thank you for engaging in this battle with me - as promised, you will be rewarded. For now, rest well." She withdrew the napping Pokemon into his ball, shielding him from more harm and the rain that began to fall.

Now to mention... Rain. Ugh. How she...disliked Rain... And appearamtly, Shiva was not the only one with this trait. Cottonee didn't either... It was clearly visible that she was not happy with her cotton slowly getting soaked and heavier.

"Try not to mind the rain, please! I know you dislike this, but please focus on the battle! I rely on you, dear fluffball !"... "Keep your distance, don't move unless you have too, and keep on with Absorb!"


Orders: We'll continue exploiting my Grass STAB and the fact that Lapras is weak to this until either Lapras is down, or Cottonee reaches a -2 Pain Penalization (At this point, we'll use a Potion! Same with Confusion, I have one Persim Berry Juice left). Absorb constantly heals in the amount of half of the inflicted damage. If Lapras is preparing for Ice Shard or any other Ice Type move, we evade that.

Effect: Damage! That tanky Lapras will go down.
Secondary Effect: Restores HP half the damage inflicted.
Possible Evasion Roll: 2 Dexterity + 1 Fight + 0 Evasion = 3 D6dice
Accuracy Roll: 2 Dexterity + 1 Fight + 0 Channel = 3 D6dice
Damage Roll: 2 Strenght (1 on default, +1 due to Growth) + 1 Power of the move + 1 STAB = 4 D6dice + 1 autodamage due to super effective
Pain Penalization: 0 so far.
Additional Notes: Leveling up on Channel after this battle is a good idea.

[Lord Windos]

Silently cheering on the inside, Ventus accepted the Carny Coin with good grace. Hearing her condition for keeping it, he gave the young lass a thumbs up. "After I have my rematch with Zamboni, I will of course return it to you. It would be rude not to, and I would never betray the trust we have, Shiva. Still, I believe that it will be the best if I practice against some of Zamboni acolytes first before I move to him. Wish me luck, my friend!" he said, smiling at Shiva the whole time. When he turned to find an acolyte to challenge, the lass had something else to say that got him to stop.

Turn back to look over her, it appeared that she wasn't depressed or in a foul mood. For all intent and purposes, she meant exactly what she said by her statement. "I promise I won't interfere in your battle, Shiva. May glory find you an the battle field, my friend." Ventus replied, before searching for an trainer to challenge! If he wanted to be the very best, he had to push himself very hard to reach that goal!

Order: Challenge one of the Acolytes in the Gym for battle practice, then after wards have a one on one training session with Apsis. She my strongest fighter, and I just want to make her stronger still!

[Iron]

Windos, you can battle River Rat (ice/water), Wayne (typical ice), or Auger (lapras)! If it's Auger you'll have to wait until Shiva finishes, +1 hour.
