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

[Lord Windos]

I was like "why the heck does Diggersby know Head Smash" but it never occurred to me to check.

That Huge Power of his granted him the gift to suddenly hit stuff really really hard?

Jokes aside, it was an honest oversight that's easily correctable, so no worries! Edmundi still has two Head Smashes left to attempt (He went full 5 Actions this Round), so those may still KO him if the dice are particularly mischievous!

We'll just leave it as-is, since Genesect should have done things a little differently and I don't want to reroll the whole round.

Fair enough, especially since I've avoided doing major re-rolls myself for my own old campaign!

Alright, so...only thing left to ask is......what about Ditto, and does Hypnosis counts as an Emotional Debuff? I ask for Spira and Dragonstrike, since this could impact their own orders in the future.

Now, I'll get started on writing my Orders, since I've decided I'm still going to go with the Operation! Hope we can pull off the Illusion Bluff, and scare that damn bug into submission!

[Iron]

You don't know re: Hypnosis. The reason emotion-based stuff works is that Genesect used to fight with each other in a display for dominance.

Ditto can take the shape of a Legendary for sure, that would be something Nathan has read about in history. But they don't gain Plot Device or, in this case, Genesect's impossibly high stats.

Though here's my next question about Ditto:

If Ditto were to be sent out against Gensect now, would it also copy the current number of intact modifications that Genesect has and be affected by that accordingly?  Or would it still operate as normal regardless of the number of intact modifications copied?

[Iron]

Your choice.

Dragonstrike, now that I have fully put my chara's plan down to paper.....I was wondering if you could do me a favor: could you possibly summon Charizard and have them slow down DMG with Scary Face, then do what you want with them? It would GREATLY increase the odds that my plan could work, which could help end the battle against DMG all the quicker. However, if you feel it's too risky, I completely understand, for I don't want you to put Nathan's fiery drake on the chopping block unless that is what you/him wants to do regardless. I just don't want Oinari to be completely screwed over by Initiative, which given Dice Luck will probably be the case, so some insurance against it would be nice to have.

That's a biiiiiiiiig favor to ask, considering that would basically require me to send out Gallade and get up a Lucky Chant ASAP as well.  Which does have its benefits, of course, though the likelihood that Charizard would get absolutely annihilated by Rock Slide is pretty high.

Which means we'd also be counting on Charizard to not get screwed over by RNG, as a Charizard slower than Genesect is probably a fainted Charizard.  1/6 chance of that happening, but definitely possible.

Ya know, though...given that Feraligatr is about to be Revived and is one of the 'mons that ended up taking PD Damage from that first Rock Slide...maybe I'll have to set up LC before Genesect moves anyways...

Which is why I'm only asking, and not begging or demanding it of you. If you think its not worth the risk of bringing out Charizard to slow down DMG, then don't. I don't really think I can't offer you anything that would equal the value of Charizard's wellbeing for the risk, because I probably don't have anything like that and that's not a terribly good thing to do, trying to bribe you into using Charizard against your better judgement. 

If your plans do end up having Charizard coming out to fight, though, and they are ahead of DMN in the Initiative, all I ask is you consider using Scary Face as his first action. That is all.

Speaking Initiatives...are you going to wait until the Round starts to roll them out Iron, to keep them blind, or until everyone has chosen the Pokemon they want to Fight in the next Round with?

@Lord Windos, you already gave your orders, but I just wanted to say that yes, I'm highly in favour to still stick with the Illusionary-Idea with Onari, as that attempt is a too promising one and we've spent a while to discuss and agree on that so that it'd be kind of a waste to scrap that now even if the Raphael didn't manage to pull off his task. Foul Play is also a wonderful decision here.

@Spiritmon, seeing that you've only sent out Golett for the second Round, may I ask/suggest that you'll bring up Gustav alongside him? We figured out that this Genesect is weak to Water Type moves due to their Bug/Rock Typing and Gustav will too benefit from what Shiva's about to do.


Basically, the only thing I kinda want is that someone renews that Lucky Chant as fast as possible, it doesn't matter to me whether it's Gallade or Nubi. Optimally it'd be of course the one who scores higher in the Init Roll than Gensect and has more dice in the Accu Roll who does so.
