[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Dagny chooses Lairon! (4) +4 = 8
Michael: (2) + 6 = 8, going first

"Begin!"

Michael, well versed in the art of 'pragmatic' fighting by this point, didn't even need any prompting as they aimed both their stubby arms at the metal plated beast to unleash a volley of Spore, and all sorts of other maladies! While he considered himself to be a honorable fighter, he didn't let that get in the way of doing whatever it took to handily and safely win a fight. He has to play to his strengths, after all!

Order: Michael will use Spore on Lairon to put it to sleep, then hit it with Stun Spore, Leech Seed, and Absorb this round. However, if Lairon is waken up by ANY means or does NOT fall asleep to the first volley of Spores, he'll sub the appropreite move down the line with Spore instead (EX: If Dagney woke Lairon at the point he would have used Leech Seed, use Spore instead). Nighty nighty to all this match, mwhahahaha!

Moves:

Spore!
Accuracy: 5/4/3/2D6 Accuracy (Depends on when its used)
Effect: Known

Stun Spore
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (3) + Channel (3) - 3 Accuracy - 5 Actions = 1D6 Dice
Effect: Paralyze Target

Leech Seed
Accuracy: 9D6 Base - 1 Accuracy - 6 Actions = 2D6 Dice
Effect: Seed the target, and roll 1D6 at the end of each round to deal 1 damage to opponent and heal 1 HP to Michael

Absorb
Accuracy: 9D6 Base - 7 Actions = 2D6 Dice
Damage: Should only be 1D6 Dice
Effect: Heal 1 HP if damage procs (Since the move can only deal 1 Damage)

(2)(5)(6)(6) Lairon's armor is hermetically sealed this round! Michael tries again.

Shroomish heals 1 from the Orb! 8/9hp no pain

Insight: (5)(1)(6)(1) - That's only 1 success.

"The battle of the defense minded...this may be a long fight."

[Lord Windos]

"How does that old saying go again?  'The best offense is a good defense?' Given you own immense fortitude and my lack proportionally high Strength, a war of attrition will only inevitably ensure. Let's see who's the first to be worn down to the nub, shall we?" Ventus replies to them in a friendly/conversational tone, as he crossed his arms and serenely watched the no doubt soon to be grueling fight! As for Michael, the shroombro shook of the worst of his damage with a twist of his head, before blasting Lairon with even MORE maladious afflicting plant life, intent on completely undermining its efforts of doing pretty much anything!

Order: Stun Spore, follow by Leech Seed and two Absorbs. If Lairon is woken up/cured of his Status ailments, replace the following moves with Spore as needed. Lairon's STAYING in bed, and that's that!

Moves:

Stun Spore

Effect: Known

Leech Seed
Accuracy: 9D6 Base - 1 Accuracy - 5 Actions = 3D6 Dice

Gym Leader Dagny vs Ventus Round 2

Dagny uses another Full Heal! "Lairon, dodge the next sleep attack and retaliate when you can!" Ventus' strategy is gaining traction!

Stun Spore 1
(1)(5)
Lairon is paralyzed!

Iron Head 1
8 dice -3 actions -2 parlyze = 3d6

[Spiritmon]

Heart finally feel better after that rest. He decided to not take the rest of the day inside that room. "Well, even if I not fight, I think I going to do other things." Heart decided to make a quick swap in his team. He bring the egg of Beldum, Caesar, Scyther, Clauncher, Koa and Rose. He go to the Shellter to finally work with the disobedient side of Caesar and the Scyther. He will pay the 1800 pokedollars to help the disobedient side of these pokemon in the adventure thing.

[Lord Windos]

Gym Leader Dagny vs Ventus Round 2

Ventus was maintained his serene smile and composure as he watch his mushroom of champeons do what he does best, but internally he was quite pleased by the way the fight was progressing thus far! "Michael, maintain your current strategy and continue to wear down Lairon, until they are within range to being dispatch in one blow with Mach Punch. We need not incentivize them to use Metal Burst, if this particular Lairon has it that is," the Natural Sage called out to his Pokémon, receiving a thumbs/claws up from his brother as he set forth to grind them into metal dust!

Order: For this Round, Michael will use Leech Seed, then Absorb 3 times per round, substituting Spore with any of those moves after Leech Seed. Afterwards, it will be 4 Absorbs per round (substituting with Spore as needed), until Lairon is at 3 HP or lower, in which case Mach Punch will start being used to finish them off and prevent Metal Burst from being optimally put into play. Time to chip chip chip away at Dagney's Defense, one damage at a time!

General accuracy without pain should be 4D6 Dice for Leech Seed, and 4/3/2 Dice for Absorb/Spore (This round) , and 5/4/3/2D6 Absorb/Spore/Mach Punch (Eventually)

Kirlia quietly listens.

N?

...wait, Kirlia's heard that name before...

...Shiva leaves the room soon after that finally clicks for Kirlia.

...now he understands why Nathan was so worried...that 'similarities' bit coupled with the name was all Kirlia had needed to hear...

...

...when Shiva returns with the tea, Kirlia's quietly sitting next to Nathan again.

He's trying to process things.  Trying to figure out how he can help Nathan now that he understands the cause of the worry and inadequacy Nathan was feeling last night...

...he's not sure he can, unfortunately...

...so he just sits there, waiting...thinking about that and what Shiva said...

He knows when Nathan will wake up.  And that he won't be nearly as worried as he was last night...

...

That little bit of guilt is back.  Kirlia wonders if he made the right decision in the long run...

(Any comments from Shiva when she walks in on this, @PhantomUnderYourDesk?)

Gym Leader Dagny Round 3

Here comes another Full Heal, curing both Paralysis and Sleep.

Leech Seed 1
(6)(5)(3)(2)
Lairon was seeded!

"Just as you are locked into your strategy, I think I shall stick to mine! Perhaps a little slower..."

Iron Head 1
(3)(2)(3)(1)(3)
Lairon crashes into the steel wall, but he's protected from consequence by his armor. And there he falls asleep, his head in a corner.

Spore 2
(6)(1)(6)
Lairon falls asleep!

Absorb 3
(6)(4)
(3)

Absorb 4
(5)
(5)Lairon takes 1 dmg 6/9hp
Breloom heals to 8/9hp

Leech: (4) Lairon takes 1 dmg 5/9hp. Breloom is fully healed!

Gym Leader Dagny Round 4

"I can see your strategy is working. Perhaps I should save myself a Pokedollar and make this my last full heal for the match."

Lairon wakes up and goes sniffing after Breloom, who holds up a hand in front of his face. He blows on his hand, and a handful of Spore goes into Lairon's face.

Spore 1
(5)(2)(6)(5)(4)
Lairon is immediately back to sleep.

Absorb 2
(2)(1)(5)(5)
(6) Lairon takes 1 dmg 4/9hp -2 pain

Absorb 3
(4)(3)(2)
(2)

Absorb 4
(5)(2)
(3)

Michael is a whirlwind of activity, staying far away from Lairon in case it wakes up. He very slowly wears the armored beast down.

Leech: (4) Lairon takes 1 dmg 3/9hp

Insight: (5)(1)(5)(6)

With that, Michael starts winding up for a Mach Punch!

"Lairon, come back." She recalls Lairon. Ventus had given orders to Michael, so it is too late for him to switch.

Michael's next opponent will be Bronzong! (5) + 4 = 9, going first

Gym Leader Dagny Round 5

"Lairon, come back." She recalls Lairon. Ventus had given orders to Michael, so it is too late for him to switch.

Michael's next opponent will be Bronzong! (5) + 4 = 9, going first

Gym Leader Dagny Round 5

Ventus serene smile become somewhat more neutral as Dagney craftly cut off his ability to switch out his brother for another of his siblings more suited to face off against the newly summoned Bronzong, but in the end his smile came back in full after he devised a course of action that would certainly ring Dagney's Bell! "Michael, you've duked it out against Gyarados when you were but a Shroomish, so show this Bronzong you are not to be intimidated by its psychokinetic prowess! Shower it with Stun Spores, then follow up with Spore and Leech Seed! Endure and triumph my brother, until the time comes for family to come to your aid!"

Order: Michael will limit himself to 3 Actions this Round, with him using Stun Spore to cripple Bronzong DEX by 2 and put him on the top of the Ini once more, before using Spore to force them to either dodge or get Sleeped on, and Leech Seed to aid in regenerating the pound of flesh the weather gong is going to tear out of them! If Spore doesn't land first, though, Leech Seed will be replaced with another spray of it! After the round ends, Michael will be swapped out for Lucifer at the first opportunity! He may be at a disadvantage now, but the kick boxing shroom will not go down without a fierce struggle!

Moves:

Stun Spore
Accuracy: 9D6 Base - 3 Accuracy - 3 Actions = 3D6 Dice
Effect: Known

Spore
Accuracy: 5/4D6 Dice
Effect: Known

Leech Seed
Accuracy: 9D6 Base - 1 Accuracy - 5 Actions = 3D6 Dice

Still switching Breloom for Noibat?
