[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Also, rechecked how many Pokémon have been stolen, which is a grand total of 8. That means ideally that we can free our Pokémon after the Surprise Round and 1 More Round, so horray for small blessings?

I'd be all for using Air Cutter to 'defeat' these nasty webs! But....we'd need his Tail Wind for a safe escape, so if he ends up being hindered in some way to be impossible to use the move, the chances that we have to fight Seika increase. It's times like these where I wish Cottonee would be a Whimsicott already, so that she could take the role of providing a Tail Wind.

Hmm, what could Heart do... You've already been very useful by providing info about what kind of Pokemon this 'Seikamater' actually is, as otherwise we wouldn't know for sure or at all. Plus, you've provided two great Heal Pulses, thank you for these! Keep yourself ready and prepared like all of us.

If each Web constitutes a Target rather than them being a single mass, then Lucifer might be the best choice to free our Pokémon, as he can automatically learn Air Cutter right now, which is a High Crit Move Spread Move that can be spammed without charging it up like Razor Wind, and he has STAB and Wide Lens to boost its over all power. The cost is that he doesn't have a + 1 to DEX or Survival like Calam, and Nathan will be forced to dump points into Stealth in order to compensate for this, but hey, its a good shot if anything else! At the very least everyone else can distract Seika so he can do his job, with Calam and Dizzy leaping in to help (preferably by charging up Razor Wind and releasing them on the remaining Webs) once Stealth has been used up!

Hmmm...let's see here...

Razor Wind
Accuracy: 6* Dex + 3 Fight + 3 Canalize = 12 base (before Tailwind and/or HH)
Damage: 5* Strength (after SD) + 3 Power - 1 Defense = 7 D6 (before HH and/or critting)
Note: 3 successes to crit and it can potentially destroy 5 webs without critting/HH, but is a charge move

Air Cutter
Accuracy: 5 Dex + 3 Fight + 3 Canalize + 1 Wide Lens = 12 base (before Tailwind and/or HH)
Damage: 2 Power + 3 Strength + STAB - 1 Defense + SE = 5 D6 + 1 damage (before HH and/or critting)
Note: 4 successes to crit, won't be able to destroy webs in 1 hit without critting/HH

Both could theoretically destroy all 8-9 webs in 4 actions.  2 actions minimum if we're really lucky with Air Cutter.

Your call whether Lucifer gets directly involved, Windos.  Lucifer is your pokemon.  Just tell me which pokemon exactly Nathan is taking with him on this stealth mission.  I'll dump the exp into 2 points of stealth IC when Ventus brings up the plan.

Yeap, that's also a problem, as is his 1 point in Disobedience, but I plan on Ven addressing the later by saying if he doesn't follow Nathan's orders/leadership to the spirt AND letter, they not get fruit for YEARS or, more likely, KILL EVERYONE INCLUDING THEMSELVES. That should get them to behave!

As for the Tailwind, we have Revives and Potions for him, so worst comes to worse we can rez him and get him back in action ASAP!

I think Nathan should take Gustav with him too. With Bubbles as a swarm move, it might help in destroy the webs too.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That charging on Razor Wind is an issue indeed... But if we'd end up using both Absols instead ob Calam+Lucifer, they can take turns so that one of them is always using the move?

@Dragonstrike, you've also accumulated quite an amount of Will Points, have you? This plan is a good point to use a few to increase the chances of success, please, if you're fine with it.

With Helping Hands (Which is garenteed if Shiva spends the Will Points[Please do, honey]) ,a Will Point spent by Nathan to give the move + 1 Success, AND After You from Raphael to make sure he goes first once Combat gets started, Lucifer has a 7D6 + 1 chance per move disregarding Crits, which is equal to Calam's Razor Wind without Crits/HH AND the move can be spammed. That, and Calam/Dizzy can simply charge up a Razor Wind while Lucifer is steathing it and ONLY unleash it when the Ambush goes off/doesn't, while Azu and Gustav fire off Bubbles at the Firokes to keep them down and out.

All that said, I want Lucifer to be used, as with the required set up , NO delay on his Spread Move AND support from others once combat starts, we can get our friend free pronto.

Anything else you guys can think of that can increase Lucy's chances of Stealth? Iron, would smearing him in honey/hive gunk cover up his scent and increase his Stealth Roll without also imparing him?

6 atm.  But spending too many in one encounter would be...bad, to say the least.  Adding successes isn't quite as tiring as ignoring pain, but...spending 3 in one encounter to add successes would be really pushing it still, I'm sure.

No, rather not if possible. I'm sorry, but... it'll be either Calam+Dizzy or Calam+Lucifer who'll cute the webs. Gustav should not be put into danger as we need his Heal Pulses further along the way!

I have a suggestion: To pray for everything works fine and the dice dont screw us D:
Jesus Christ, God, or anything you guys believe. Any help will be good...
