Effect: -2 Defense for Target

Bite x3
Accuracy: 3* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Brawl + 1 Coil - 5/6/7 Actions = 5/4/3 D6

Valarie Malcom Round 6

Peter was not quite yet through with setting up for himself, as he started to spew sharp poisonous barbs onto Reiner's side the battlefield!

Toxic Spikes
Accuracy: 11D6 - 5 Actions - 1 Pain = 5D6
(4)(5)(5)(6)(5)
Venomous entry hazards now cover your entire side of the battlefield!

Mega Arbok continues to be unamused with the arachnid's constantly setting up on them, and makes his displease known yet again with another ear-splitting *HIIISSSS!*

Screech
(5)(5)(3)(4)(3)(6)
Peter's Defense is lowered by 2!

This time the spider feels the effect's of the hydra's wrathful blast of noise, and, seeing that its prepared to go to town on it with viscous Bite attacks, rams it with their own deadly appendeges!!

Mega Horn
Accuracy: DEX (*6) + Fight (3) + Channel (3) - 1 Pain - 1 Accuracy (Sniper Buff) - 6 Actions = 4D6 Dice
(4)(5)(6)(6) Peter bluntly gores the giant snake, resulting in a Non-Lethal Critical Hit with its hidden Scope Lens!
Damage: STR (*5) + 5 + STAB + Sniper Crits (3) - Vitality (*6) = 8D6 Damage!
(6)(6)(3)(4)(1)(6)(5)(4) Mega Arbok takes 6 Damage; 7/14 HP , - 2 Pain

Bite 1
(1)(2)(1) The sudden pain of the Peter's attack causes to miss his mark by a wide margin. Peter takes the opportunity to ram them again!

Mega Horn 2
(2)(4)(5) Hits
Damage: STR (*5) + 5 + STAB - Vitality (*6) = 5D6 Damage
(6)(1)(4)(5)(6) Mega Arbok takes 4 Damage; 3/14 HP

Bite 2
(3)(2) Peter nimbly scurries away from the blow, which put the hydra directly in range for another brutal attack!

Mega Horn 3
(6)(3) Hits
(5)(5)(5)(4)(3) Mega Arbok is knocked clean out from the blow, and its Mega Evolutions is aburtly canceled as the giant snake is sent flying back to your side and lands in a crumpled heap!

Burn:
(1)(1)(1) Well don't that beat all. Peter takes 1 Damage from its burn; 6/9 HP remaining

Valarie had a bemused smile on his face a his arachnid raised its fore legs and let out a defiant *Chitter!* at its fallen enemy, asserting his domaniance as the superior Poison type! Araidos rules, Arbok drools! "That will do, Peter. If that Arbok of his doesn't hesitate when seeing another spider Pokémon again, then he might perhaps have some hidden Steel in them. Not that it help resisting your hits, my friend. Mr. Arendse, half your team is down, so I wonder how you are going to adapt to the scales tipping in my favor? Or is this all a part of some greater plan? Only time will tell. I look forward to your next move."

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner's expression is as solid as a rock as Arbok lands next to him, out cold and demegaed.  He doesn't even flinch from the sound of the giant snake thudding into the ground, nor from the snake's tail nearly colliding with him.

He cracks his knuckles.  And then he smirks.  "Oh, you think I've lost half my team?  I recall saying that potion from earlier gave you a numbers advantage, and you agreed with my point, so let's fix that now, shall we?  Items can turn the tide of battle and real steel and all that as well, no?"

Reiner uses a Max Revive on Rhyxemplar and sends him into battle once more!

"Now then, let's make sure this spider goes down and even the score a little.  And do it with a little more polish this time, Rhyxemplar.  Oh, and make absolutely sure you don't miss.  Just want to clarify that."

Rock Polish
Accuracy: 5* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Canalize - 5 Actions = 6 D6
Effect: +2 Dexterity

Smart Strike x4 (non-lethal)
Accuracy: 7* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Brawl + 1 Wide Lens - 6/7/8/9 Actions = 8/7/6/5 D6
Damage: 4* Strength + 3 Power + 1 STAB - 3* Defense = 5 D6
Effect: Can't miss.  Love ya to, RNG, but we're parting ways for now.


Notes:  Wide Lens should only apply to attacking moves, right?  Or do we apply it to all moves?  Need some clarification now that I'm thinking about it.  And an incoming String Shot could also screw with these accuracy calculations a little...but all 4 Smart Strikes still have enough dice to be used regardless of whether that String Shot is used if Rhyxemplar has no pain penalizations.

[Lord Windos]

Valarie Malcolm Round 7

Rhyxemplar Initiative: (1) + *8 (*4 DEX + 3 Survival + 1 Zen State) = 9 He is not going first period.

The giant old man was utterly unfazed by the metal Kaiju re-entering the battlefield, even after all the hard work Brigid did putting them down in the first place was undone. All he did was let out an amused chuckle and inclined his head towards you, acknowledging your word with nary a protest or word. He didn't get to his ripe old age without learning to take the worst of any given situation with all the grace and humor he had on hand.

Peter, even as full of bluster and sass from his recent victory over Mega Arbok, was more than intimidated by the giant metal monster gearing up to skrewer him with their horns, and started spewing gobs of silk to hobble their offense!
                                              
String Shot
Accuracy: 11D6 – 1 Pain – 1 Accuracy – 5 Actions = 4D6 Dice
(6)(3)(5)(1)
Rhyxemplar’s DEX is drastically lowered by 2! (Surprise! Triggered)

Letting out a displeased grunt at his limbs being coated in silk, Rhyxemplar took the time free himself from his bides and clean up his metal plates while he was at it!

Rock Polish
(I'll have Wide Lens apply to all moves for now on, just for it to be more useful and consistent!)

(4)(3)(6)(1)(1)(5)(4)
Rhyxemplar regains the DEX he just lost!

Alarmed that the metal monster successfully freed himself from their silken bonds, the arachnids furiously started to burrow into the earth to avoid the beast's first attack, and give himself time to plan how to counter their impressive fortitude.

Because of this, the first Smart Strike misses, as even Never Miss moves can't pierce through several feet of solid asphalt and pavement! The giant spider, sensing that the danger has passed for the moment, re-emerged from its burrow to lash out at the kaiju!

Dig
Accuracy: 12D6 – 1 Pain – 6 Actions = 5D6
(4)(4)(5)(6)(3) Omph, right in the kisser! Critical Hit
Damage: STR (*5) + 3 + Crit (*3) + SE – Vitality (*6) = 5D6/2 = 2D6 + 1 Damage
(5)(6) Rhyxemplar takes 3 Damage; 7/10 HP, - 1 Pain

Pushed back by the spider lunge attack (But not a Lunge attack!), Rhyxemplar stomachs the painful blow and returns it with sharp and pointed one of his own!

Smart Strike 2
(1)(4)(6)(1) Hits regardless of Accuracy, but the thought counts!
(4)(1)(3)(3)(3) Peter takes 1 Damage; 5/9 HP, - 1 Pain

That attack of thier's didn't hurt them as much as they first thought it would, but that still didn't mean Peter wanted to suffer its wrath anymore than it has too! With that thought it mind, he called upon his inner power once more to shut down that move!

Disable
Accuracy: 11D6 – 1 Accuracy – 7 Actions = 3D6
(1)(4)(3)
Smart Strike is Disabled for 4 Rounds

The metal kaiju's horn glowed a familiar blue tinge, halting them from preforming any further actions in the round, and earning an excited chitter from the smile and what sounded a lot like "Bah!" for the steel plated beast!

Peter knew, thought, that despite his increadible power and flair for battle, he was not going to get through that beast's armor without either of them putting up a fierce struggle, so they decided to cut the middle man out by summoning a spectral image of their foe to do their work for them! Hey, he's allowed to be lazy everyone once in awhile!


Night Shade
Accuracy: 11D6 – 1 Pain – 8 Actions = 2D6
(2)(4) Rhyxemplar takes 3 Damage; 4/10 HP , - 2 Pain

Nightshade and Seismic Toss will do Damage base on the number of Objective Reiner has Completed, up to 5 Unblocked/Unresisted Damage. Since you have fulfilled 3 Mission Objectives up until this point, both moves will do 3 Damage when used by character or NPC.

Night Shade 2
Accuracy: 1 Dice
(6) Rhyxemplar takes 3 Damage; 1/10 HP , - 3 Pain

Burn:
(6)(3)(6) Peter takes no damage from his burn this round!

Peter was a standing a respectful distance away from Rhyxemplar, because even a greviously wounded monster is still a monster on the battlefield, and all the more desperate in its pain fueled rage. Valarie took this moment in the battle to finally voice his concerns for this engagement with his arachnid. Which is to say, none for him at all, but a little for you. "Items can certainly turn the tide of battle, but without good thought to what you wish to accomplish by expending the resource, you can not hope to accomplish much. Now, are you going to use what you learned now and restore the health of Rhyxemplar, or simply withdraw them and save them for another engagement?"
 

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner's expression is back to being rather serious.  "Felicia, you're up.  Do what you usually do, but throw in a little variety as well."

Fake Out
Accuracy: 4* Dex + 5* Fight + 2 Brawl - 3 Actions = 8 D6
Damage: 2 Power + 1 Technician + 1 STAB + 4* Strength - 3* Defense = 5 D6
Effect: Flinches the target if it hits.  +1 Priority.  Only 4 successes to crit thanks to her Scope Lens

Slash x2 (non-lethal)
Accuracy: Accuracy: 4* Dex + 5* Fight + 2 Brawl - 4/5 Actions = 7/6 D6
Damage: 3 Power + 1 STAB + 4* Strength - 3* Defense = 5 D6
Effect: Needs only 3 successes to crit thanks to her Scope Lens

Assist x2 (If Slash is unable to be used and Ariados is still standing)
Accuracy: 4* Dex + 5* Fight + 0 Perform - 4/5 Actions = 5/4 D6
Efect: GM picks a random move from one of the other party members and the pokemon uses that move!
Note: Don't have to make an additional accuracy check for the called move from what I can tell.

Amnesia and Nasty Plot (If Ariados is KOed and there are actions still left to take)
Amnesia Accuracy: 4* Dex + 4* Survival + 0 Alert - 4/5 Actions = 4/3 D6
Nasty Plot Accuracy: 4* Dex + 5* Fight + 0 Alert - 5 Actions = 4 D6
Effect: +2 Defense/Strength

[Lord Windos]

Valarie Malcom Round 8

Felicia's Intiative's is the same as Rhyxmeplar's

She also becomes Poisoned, but will she become badly Poisoned?
(6) She will. Felicia is Badly Poisoned

Before Valare or Peter had a chance to process your order's, Felicia pounces on the spider in a burst of speed!

Fake Out
(4)(5)(4)(6)(1)(2)(1)(3) So close to a crit, but not quite!
(3)(5)(4)(2)(3) Peter takes 2 Damage; 3/9 HP , - 2 Pain , Flitched!

Badly startled by the blow, the arachnid has no time to react to the refined feline raking her claws across his chitonous body!

Slash 1
(2)(6)(1)(2)(2)(5)(1) Wow, the dice really really don't want you to crit, but at least your moves are hitting for once!
(3)(1)(5)(6)(2) Peter takes 2 Damage; 1/9 HP , - 3 Pain

Peter is standing on its last legs (metaphorically speaking, of course), looking extremely pained and weary from the intense beating its been given by the metal monster and cat thief, but he was far from out of the game. Just as he was about to charge her with a Mega Horn attack, the giant old man slammed his cane into the ground twice, causing him to freeze in his tracks. "Enough, Peter, you are in no condition to fight any longer. Its time to pass the torch onto someone else. Its time to employ our back up plan. Use it now," Valarie said with an air of finality, receiving a discontent *chitter!* from the spider, but never the less they used their secret move:

Baton Pass
Valarie is spending a Will Point to ensure that this move passes its Accuracy Roll

In a flash of light, the Aradios was recalled to his Pokémon, leaving a stray twig brimming with all the positive Attribute boosts he conducted. Valare looked upon it for a moment, before he let out a laugh, this one strangely pleased despite this massive setback for him. "Impressive, Mr. Arendse. I have cleared scores of trainers alone with Brigid and Peter alone, and its quite rare that anyone is able to subdue even one of them. Rarer still take them both down. Hmm...I'll let you in on a secret, since it will become apparent to you later: I only have three Pokémon. Only needed three, since I have trained and endured many decades of my life with them, honing all of us into deadly, efficient killers. Now though, standing against you now, I now find myself wondering if I really should have brought my granddaughter along to take you in, or convince you to make the right choice in the beginHning. Then again, I would not had the pleasure to get to know you and have this invigorating battle, nor would have learned you are much more than you first appeared to be. Choices, as with all things, have great potential, and while things have not gone as I have forseen....I can't really find it within myself to be disappointed. Not when you are giving me and my Pokémon the battle of our lives!"

Valarie then looked up to the night sky, seemingly in thought, but...something wasn't quite right with the action. Something was going to happen. Something big. "You have seen Brigid, my goddess of fire. You have seen Peter, my swagger filled hero of justice. Now, you will see my final Pokémon, the one that is responsible for my former title of Night Terror , and my current title of Enigma. Hark, the raven said...."

The moon was blotted out for a deep moment, as a great big shape appeared over it, leaving only the fiant aura of it around the...creature. In the next instant, the moon was shining brightly once more in the sky....revealing the giant old man's last Pokémon: A massive, imposing, and Huge Honchkrow. Its size rivaled that of Moltress itself, as it picked up the power infused twig with his wing and place it his mouth, suffusing him with all its stored power.

"Nevermore."

Felicia's Poison Check:
(6) She passes it! No damage.

Music: Sun and Moon Team Skull Leader Guzma Remix (Glitch City)

...How do you react?

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner laughs.  "Well, well, well.  How interesting that you're using a pokemon that's the favorite of criminals the world over.  However, Felicia's not quite done yet.  She still has one more action to go, and since you've so kindly paused things and changed one of your orders, let me change one of mine." (Felicia still has one action left for this round, and Honchkrow has none until the next round!)

"Felicia, see if you can nab that twig."

[Lord Windos]

Reiner laughs.  "Well, well, well.  How interesting that you're using a pokemon that's the favorite of criminals the world over.  However, Felicia's not quite done yet.  She still has one more action to go, and since you've so kindly paused things and changed one of your orders, let me change one of mine." (Felicia still has one action left for this round, and Honchkrow has none until the next round!)

"Felicia, see if you can nab that twig."

Felicia's Pickpocket/Theft Check: Insight (*3) + Fight (*5) + Stealth (3) - Not Acutally being Stealthy (3) = 8D6
(6)(4)(2)(1)(2)(3)(6)(1) 2 Success
Honchkrow's Reaction: DEX (*9) + Fight (3) + Alert (5) = 17D6 Dice
(2)(4)(1[Negated by Ability)(1)(4)(5)(5)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-) + 4 Success

The classy cat thief tried to snatch it away from the gigantic crow, but he quickly reacted and flapped its wing, forcing them back and away from them. Nevermore gave Felicia an amused look, before they swallowed the stick, permenantly absorbing the Stat Boost and preventing her from stealing them ever again! The twig was so tiny, the Honchkrow didn't even have to worry about chocking on the puny thing!

Valarie shakes his head at the attempted theft, quite amused by both it and your earlier question. "Nevermore has been my partner since my days in the Yakazu, when I was young and they were but not a Murkrow, so your remark is spot on. We have grown together over the years, enduring the slow march of time and becoming fierce fighters, though its quite clear that one of us has faired better than another. If you beat him, then you can walk away free as you please. You deserve to, for doing the impossible. If he beats you, then you will be working for me. Let us see the outcome of this, shall we?"

Current Status:
Honchkrow: Full HP, + 3 DEX, + 3 STR, +2 VIT from Dark Aura, Initiative inherited from Peter
Felicia: Full HP, Badly Poisoned

Valarie Malcom Round 9

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner shrugs.  They might have failed to get the twig, but this was still going according to plan.  "Oh, I intend to give it my all, you can be sure of that.  And besides, what else did you expect from a practiced pickpocket?  You're not the first to try Baton Pass on me.  I'd say that this is much, much less than impossible, though.  Now then...Felicia, give him a good few whacks to show him what I mean."

Fury Swipes x4! 
Accuracy: Accuracy: 4* Dex + 5* Fight + 2 Brawl - 4/5/6/7 Actions - 1 Accuracy = 6/5/4/3 D6
Damage: 1 Power + 1 STAB + 1 Technician + 4* Strength - 3* Defense = 4 D6
Effect: Needs only 4 successes to crit thanks to her Scope Lens

Valarie Malcom Round 9

"Hmpt," went Nevermore at your declaration, before leaping up and doing a dive by over Felicia, showering her with soft down feathers!

Feather Dance
Accuracy: DEX (*9) + Fight (3) + Perform (1) - 5 Actions = 8D6 Dice
(6)(3)(6)(4)(4)(2)(5)(4)
Felicia STR decreases by 2!

The ill omens carried by the feather's greatly weakened the fancy feline's raw power, but she just let out a viscous *Fssssst!* at the overgrown turkey, and launched into a series of quick, painful blows, not giving them any time to react!

Fury Swipes 1
(4)(2)(3)(3)(4)(1) Hit
Damage: STR (*2) + 1 + STAB + Technician - Vitality (*4) = 1D6
(4) Nevermore takes 1 Damage; 11/12 HP

Fury Swipes 2
(4)(2)(1)(3)(3) Hit
(5) Nevermore takes 1 Damage

Fury Swipes 3
(6)(5)(6)(6) Yeowch, this one hit his eye! Critical Hit!
(3)(3)(4) Nevermore takes 1 Damage

Fury Swipes 4
(3)(4)(2) Hit
(2) The gigantic crow leaps back from the final swipe, unwilling to get pawed in the eye once more!
Total Damage: 3; 9/12 HP; - 1 Pain

Mid leap, however, the harbringer of doom and misfortune rake its own talon at Felicia, giving her the taste of her own medicine as dark trailed after the attack!

Night Slash
Accuracy: DEX (*9) + Fight (3) + Brawl (3) - 1 Pain - 6 Actions = 9D6
(2)(1)(3)(1)(2)(1)(1)(1)(1) Holy Cow! Nevermore's stylistic move ends up backfiring horribly, as he completely misses his mark and landed HARD on one of his wings! Even his fanstatic ability is not able to cover THIS amount of bad luck!!! Super Luck is nullified for this action.
Damage to Self: STR (*6) + 3 + STAB - RE - Vitality (*4) = 6D6 - 1 Damage
(4)(1)(4)(4)(2)(1) Nevermore takes 2 Damage; 7/12 HP

Righting himself off the ground, the gigantic black crow was visably embarrassed about his mishap, and Valarie was facepalming and shaking his head at that Arceas awful move preform. That did NOT display the decades of experience they both had under their belt; quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. "Nevermore, don't ever do that again. If we are going to lose, I rather it be at Mr. Arendse hands, not our own. *Sigh* Use Roost, and get the next attack right this time...."

Roost
Accuracy: DEX (*9) + Fight (3) + Nature (0) - 1 Pain - 7 Actions = 4D6
(4)(2)(2)(6)
(3)(5)(3)(5)(1)(6) Nevermore regains 3 HP; 10/12 HP

The harbringer of his own doom brushed himself off from his earlier accident and lightly coughs to try and hide how bad that move was (It really was, if it could nullify Super Luck, if only briefly!), and simply opt to switch to a different attack as they suddenly sprung up into the air and barreled towards Felicia, twisting and turning like a demented corkscrew!

Drill Peck
Accuracy: 15D6 - 1 Pain - 8 Actions = 6D6
(6)(6)(5)(3)(4)(3) Nevermore nearly skerwed the cat thief clean through, but managed to blunt the blow just in time! Critical Hit
Damage: STR (*6) + 3 + STAB + Crit (2) - Vitality (*4) = 8D6 Damage!
(4)(5)(6)(3)(5)(2)(1)(2) Felicia takes 4 Damage; 3/7 HP , - 2 Pain

Letting out a yowl of agony from the excruiting, almost devasting blow, the shiny panther staggered and almost collapsed. Neveremore, even coming from a hard scratch background as a former assassin, was not that heartless to double down on and use the same move, and decided to just finish them off with a strike from their wing.

Wing Attack
Accuracy: 15D6 - 10 = 5D6
(4)(3)(4)(1)(6) Just hits.
Damage: STR (*6) + 2 + STAB (1) - Vitality (*4) = 5D6 Damage
(6)(6)(1)(2)(2) Felicia takes 2 Damage; 1/7 HP , - 3 Pain

Jumping back up and flying over to his side of the battlefield, the giant black crow carefully touch down on the ground, trying to avoid kissing the charred earth again. Once was enough for him, thank you very much!

Felicia's Poison Check:
(2) Felicia succumbs from the Poison in her system.

Before you could rush over and pull out one of your Full Heals to your fallen feline, Valarie tosses one of his own instead. Noticing the odd look he was receiving from such a gesture, the old man looked you dead in the eyes and simply said: "This isn't a battle to the death, Mr. Arendse, and poison is one of the worst ways to go. Use this to remove the toxins from her system, and choose your next Pokémon. We have all night to conduct this battle, so take your time making sure she's okay."

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner heals Felicia's poison with a thankful nod, and chuckles afterwards.  "We all screw up badly sometimes, you know.  Take Rhyxemplar for example.  He hasn't landed a single Horn Drill since he was loaned to me.  Suffice to say, he got pretty fed up with trying to use the move.  Speaking of which, he's next up."

Reiner uses a Full Restore on Rhyxemplar!  Back to looking more serious.  He wasn't going to let that Max Revive go to waste, after all.

"Do as much damage as you can, Rhyxemplar.  You're doing well, even if you go down."

Iron Tail x3
Accuracy: 5* Dex + 4 Fight + 2 Brawl - 3 Accuracy + 1 Wide Lens - 3/4/5 Actions = 6/5/4 D6
Damage: 4 Power + 4* Strength + 1 STAB - 4* Defense = 5 D6
Effect: 3 D6 chance to inflict -1 Defense, but Honchkrow already has -2 from Screech, so...
