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

Good thing those enemies didn't target Gustav or Lancelot yet. Those Wide as been doing wonders to us. He probably doesn't see me as treat.

Huh, Windos and Spirit, Tailwind unfortunately doesn't blow for us in Round 3 anymore because we left the battlefield.

The party begins running at Deoxys, and the Normal Deoxys pace calmly toward you. Action 2 is you both crossing the battlefields. Genie gets an attack, and so does the tower.
Luxray pulls Delphox onto his back to allow the fox to charge up Blast Burn while moving.
Nathan has time for a second trainer action to heal Gallade up. Grid is protected so I'm guessing you won't reserve a Potion for him.
This does drop things like Lucky Chant.

Just wanted to let you know of this since you both included it in your orders.

[Spiritmon]

Wait. You left the battlefield? Why?

[Spiritmon]

Aww. What a glorious day to be alive. I a awesome good humor today.

@PhantomUnderYourDesk, who are you using the Shield on this Round?

And for everyone: if your pokemon have any moves to buff themselves or the party with, I'd highly recommend using them now while we've got the chance.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Already stated within the post near the end.

A Super Potion is reserved for both Shiva's current fighters shall their HP fall dangerously low (below half), and the Shield will grant invincibility to Kelda with Cosh still having permission to swap it if desired.

Added conditional buffs once the Round is won, good thought.

So there's 3 Speed Deoxys, 3 Attack, and 3 Defense Deoxys with no Normal?

And Tyranitar and Goodra should be in the initiative somewhere as well, right?

[Lord Windos]

Ahahahaha! Gotcha, ya Deoxys clone! I KNEW I could get one of them buggers, if things worked out JUST right! Course, making use of them in the future will be a buggerance, but hey, that's a question for the future!

To save us any arguments about who's going to catch all those rare pseudo Legends or just Raremons, let's hold off that debate until AFTER we defeat the swarm of clones and their master. Who knows, maybe some of those Raremons are actually other Trainers Pokemon that got snatched up and conscripted by the interstellar invaders, so that bears some consideration too....

Given we're fighting a larger horde of clones, do you think it might be time to bring out Princess soon, and have her start dispersing Spread SP Attack Orders onto the whole lot? Or you have another idea in mind? Also, any idea on how we tackle the clones from here? I'm thinking Grid gets Shielded and Sworded against to quickly dispatch the Defense Form Deoxys and having Gallade clean up the last one, while on Terra's end Arete feasts on the Defense clones and Genie just FISSURES the Tyranitar + Goodra, and the rest of the group tries to Flinch and/or defeat the clones with you. If Cosh can project the Sheer Cold Spell on the clones/Speed Clones and OHKO them, even better! It might be worthwhile for Tailwind to come up again, but since Whimsi is not out right now I suppose that ain't happening until later.

This might be the most gruelling Round yet, but I'm confidant we can prevail through it....! .....Provided the dice don't decided to side with the villains. Fingers crossed!

So there's 3 Speed Deoxys, 3 Attack, and 3 Defense Deoxys with no Normal?

And Tyranitar and Goodra should be in the initiative somewhere as well, right?

Think so, since Terra just caught the Normal Form and has/will quickly be sent/sending them to his PC for containment, and Iron did explicitly state the 9 clones evenly transformed into 3 group of three, with each group composed of individuals of one Form.

Speaking of Initiatives, shouldn't Grid be at the top of it behind Kelda and the Speed Clones, since he used Agility to become the fastest? Or was he just slow enough before to fall behind Gallade on the INI Ladder? Finally, is Stealth Rocks and Sandstorms up as a hazards for our group to deal with, Iron? Not going to change my future Orders any, but it might impact the others.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I kinda want Shiva to take on the Tyranitar and the Goodra for some dragonslaying while you others can focus on the Clones - how does that sound, agreeable?
