[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

(Before I get to my orders for the next Round, could Charizard have used one or more of his leftover Flamethrowers to melt the chains holding Oscar, @Iron?  That was one of my conditional orders in the previous Round)

Yes, he can safely melt the chains at their center, leaving just a little bit dangling from his wrists.

Spoiler

Earthpower: (6)(4)(3)(1)(2)(6) (1)(4)(2)

Whip: (4)(6)(6)(6)(1)(1) (6) - 4 successes
Evasion: (1)(4)(4)(3)(2)(6) (4)(2)(6)(4)(2)

Heart burns through another thread. I also decided you should have gotten those two super-effective threads in ADDITION to the 1/round, so you're even closer to finished. Four threads have been destroyed, three remain.

Whip B on PorygonZ:
(1)(3)(5)(4)(2)(1)  (1) - 1 success
Evade: (4)(6)(5)(1)(6)(3) (6)(2)(1)(5)

Whip C on Charizard:
(3)(2)(1)(4)(6)(2) (4)
(4)(6)(5)(6)(1)(5) (5)(4) An easy wheel to one side. The air is less full of the crackling whips, so perhaps it is getting easier. Still, the stakes are high.

Whip D on Rose:
(6)(4)(6)(1)(6)(3) (4) = 5 success
Evasion: 12 dice -5 = 7d6
(3)(2)(5)(2)(5)(6) (3)  = 3 success

Rose vanishes! Her face is writ with shock. She thought she could evade anything, but she pushed herself too far doing 5 actions.

Gustav calmly takes aim and fires.

Muddy Water 1
(6)(5)(4)(3)(3)(2) (4)
(6)(2)(4)(1)(5)(1) (4)(3)

Yep! Gustav hoses down the remaining cluster of Gauntlets until they fry. As Keni predicted, the vanished Pokemon do NOT reappear.

You're out of danger for the moment, but in just one round those running feet will arrive! In fact, you can hear them heaving the crate aside right now.

Vaporeon adds her own water to the Curious Cord, but to no effect.

Hida fills the room with Smog, especially the area where the Scimitars (Or Almanacs?) will appear when they arrive. A furious Spira goes to town on the shattered gauntlets, ripping them to shreds and stomping on them and tearing them out of the wall. In so doing, you find the fried remnants of a couple spycams.

Flamethrower and Electroweb also fail to affect the Curious Cord.

Panic and chaos do not cease as all the gauntlets have finally been destroyed, it's just a small comfort Shiva can enjoy. It appears that things aren't even reaching her properly, being seperated from two of her most dear Pokemon at the moment affects her heavily, she functions more than she reacts.

Very well then, these three remaining threads proof as tough nuts to crack, she curses mentally. It's only these THREE still, but time is starting to run out, they're coming, THEY'RE COMING, they're almost there, 'H-U-R-R-Y, my dear!!' her inner voice screams into Shiva's mind at full volume. She frowns as neither Fire, Electricity and Water fail to do anything, fine: That opens up other Types the threads suggest. "Vaporeon, please come back to me, you had your share, let me attempt something different!" The waterly Eeveelution hisses at that nasty cord before making a turn and being recalled mid-air and mid-jump, and a moment later new Pokemon arrive on the scene: It's a mighty black wolf with Masqurain-like wings and a big sauropode with leaves as wings! Now that there are less whips and gauntlets, Shiva feels safe to summon the latter.

"Everyone, come on, please help fireing moves of different Types onto that cord! I guess the blue one's Ghost Type while the linen one could possibly be Fight, just... just try things out, super-effective damage seems to do the trick, we're so close to making it!!" Fear and despair, but alos a good portion of determination is audible within Shiva's voice. "Yena, please try to TEAR that cord into pieces with your fangs, if that doesn't do anything smash it; you please open the fire with leaves and wind, Tropius."


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, mostly experiementing and see what happens. Last post before I'll turn in for the night.
Damnit that Tropius' not holding a Berry at the moment as Natural Gift could useful here.

Accuracy Roll Yena's Crunch 1: 4 Dext + 3 Fight + 4*Brawl - 2 Actions = 9d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 3 power of the move + STAB = 7d6. Dark Type.
Additional notes: NOT holding back on lethality, Shiva watches curiously what Yena's fangs can do to the Cord. CD don't matter here?

Accuracy Roll Yena's Rock Smash 2: 4 Dext + 3 Fight + 4*Brawl - 3 Actions = 8d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 4 power of the move  = 7d6. Fighting Type.

Additional notes: Hits EVERYTHING, the chance to crit is high.

Accuracy Roll Tropius' Gust 2: 4 Dext + 3 Fight + 5 Channel - 3 Actions = still 9d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 2 power of the move + STAB  = 6d6 again. Flying Type.
Additional notes: Blows up dust and the smog from Hida.

"ROSE!" It was all what Heart was able to say before she disapear. He was in shock...but it took only a few seconds before his face twist in a boiled rage, with sparks of flames and his eyes ignite in hatred. He would burn those Scims alive if he get the chance, but right now, he try to control his rage. He heard Shiva words and bring Viktor and change Gustav for Kecleon to the fight! "Viktor! Shadow Claws on those Cords right away! If did not work, go ahead with Horn Leech! Kecleon! Synchornoise! If not work, go ahead with Ancient Power!" Heart begin to summon his own flames. "Now I mad..." Then he summon a conflagration of flames, filled with hatred, but still not enough to harm Keni or Oscar.

Shadow Claws: Dex (5) + Fight (4) + Brawl (3) - Actions (2) = 10D6
Damage: Power (3) + STR (4) + STAB (1) + SE (1) = 8D6+1
Effect: Hight Critical Chance. SE in both type cords.


Horn Leech: Dex (5) + Fight (4) + Brawl (3) - Actions (2) = 9D6

Synchronoise: Dex+Fight+Channel = 10D6
Damage: Power (5) + STR (4) = 9D6
Effect: Choose one type to make it work. I choose fighting type to hit those line up Cords.

Ancient Power: Dex (5) + Fight (4) + Channel (3) - Actions (3) = 9D6
Damage: Power (2) + STR (4) = 6D6
Effect: 1 Dice chance to increase user stats.

Heart Earthpower: Insight (3) + Fight (4) + Earthpower (3) = 9D6

Spira's chest is heaving as he tries to calm down, "Take that," He turns his head and spits. "Now about those flippin' cords..." He gets up close and personal with the threads. He then grabs the one that is black ethereal chains, if it hasn't been broken yet, to see if he can get a specific "feel" from it.

That one is split, but it has kind of a frayed afterimage. You can definitely feel that it's ghostly, but you don't really think it's actual magic. You think it's more like a Ghost-type move.

(Ohh, good idea Mika. I'll follow your example.)

While the Pokemon are firering attacks, Shiva attempts to find a piece of the vine and silky white thread that's already split - can it be taken along perhaps or does it fade upon touching or something? She feels it could be useful or revealing later, or she could just work it into her craftworks.

Well, since we're on the topic, if Nathan takes a closer look at the cord, does he get the feeling that any of them are draconic in nature?

Thanks to you're Awakened Blood, you would say that no, none of them are draconic in nature.

The threads are fading quickly. They are not designed to exist once broken, and they aren't made of normal matter - they're elemental energy.

Nathan thinks fast.  "...so if we broke the Ghost type part of the cord, there's no Dragon type portions, and Water, Fire, and Electric were all ineffective..."

The feet running around on the floor above are a little distracting, though.

"...either we break two of those cords now and Heart burns the third, or we have to stall for time...if we can even break the cord now..."

No time to ponder it for long, Nathan comes to a decision.

Nathan recalls Charizard (if possible, I'd like to not recall Porygon-Z so its buffs remain active.  It's 3' tall, so it's not a huge pokemon) and sends out Grid and Calam!

"Grid, lay down a Sticky Web in that smog so it's hidden! We need to slow our opposition down as much as possible!  Calam, Swords Dance, Future Sight, and hit that cord with a few of your attacks to see if you can break any of the strands!"

Grid:

Sticky Web 1, 2, and 3
Acc: 6 + 5 + 2 Stealth = 13 D6 base
Effect: -1 Dex for all grounded opponents when they enter the battlefield!

Calam:

SD 1
Acc: 7* + 4 + 2 Perform - 5 = 8 D6
Eff: +2 Str!

Future Sight 2
Acc: 7* + 4 + 3 - 6 = 8 D6
Dmg: 5 + 6* = 11 D6 base
Eff: Hits a target at the end of the next Round (in this case, a Scim/Almanac)
Note: 4 succeses crits!

ROCK SMASH/Moonblast/Night Slash 3/4/5 (in that order)
Acc: 14 - 7/8/9 = 7/6/5 D6
Dmg: 4 + 6 = 10 D6 base
Eff: Varies depending on move

Grid will be recalled after Sticky Web has been set.

And if we free Keni, Nathan has his Cress City Card ready to Teleport everyone out!
