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

[Dragonstrike]

...I have a bad feeling about this additional 'experiment' Deoxys wants to try on Terra...

[Spiritmon]

Me too. Deoxys will get Terra over my dead cold corpse.

[Lord Windos]

Research my choice mates. If I suffer dire consequences for my curiosity, then so be it. I don't want anyone else to impose on this upcoming choice, nor get wrapped up in it too. Okay? Please?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Well, if that's your final choice and desire, so be it then, you seem serious about it and fighting over it feels like it won't lead anywhere. I let Shiva do several risky things as well just because I was curious, so I understand that reasoning... That's also kinda brave and heroic by Terra, and fits his role of a protector. I'm just hoping that this mentioned experiment with him won't turn out as something that'll give us a disadvantage or avoidable trouble in the almost-certainly-upcoming battle, but we'll see I guess?

I never said I'd interfere.  But I also can't help but wonder...at what point do you simply become 'not human' instead of 'more than human', if such a point exists?  I hope we don't find out...

I can't guarantee that we won't be wrapped up in the aftermath of your decision, though, as we don't know what might happen.

[Iron]

Deoxys didn't want to experiment on Terra. It's just talking about the trade bargain it already proposed. It learned about trading from Terra's mind.

Huh, that's actually realiving to know. Sorry for that musinderstanding!


So there'll be 5 Clones additionally to to the Real Deoxy for the first Round - what's the plan then, people? Trying to defeat the Clones first and fast or bringing up spread moves to deal damage to all of them simultaneously? I'm somewhat leaning towards the first option, even if this will give Deoxys Prime some free Actions against us. I also kinda want to autoflinch an exemplar of the Clones to prevent their healing, the question's just which one - depends which one will be targeted with the Sword.


Ah, Iron, thanks to the Helm Spira's wearing now, won't one of his Pokemon or he himself go first in the Init Order? Because, those poor Rolls on Noire and Neura... :C

Oh, actually, they both go first ahead of Speed Deoxys.


Helm makes you and your two mons go first in initiative at +6 priority. For perfectly accurate moves, you always get five successes on accuracy rolls. For inaccurate moves, you ignore the inaccuracy instead.

Editing for examples:

A Helm empowered Night Slash is always a hit and crit, for five actions. Pain, Dex, Accuracy... none of that matters.
A Helm empowered Sheer Cold is Dex + Fight + Channel -actions. No -7 accuracy or whatever it is.

Princess's Attack Order can hit all of them (including the Prime) at once since we stalled for time long enough for the Teazel Valley Combee to arrive!    Two hits from them, and every Clone should be at 1 HP. It would take some good initiative rolls and a Bug using a PD Fury Cutter to KO only two of them before they could move. I'd honestly prefer to get rid of all of the clones quickly instead of giving 3 of them the whole round to attack us.

I'm honestly wondering exactly how the Helm works myself since it's never been directly stated in the game thread from what I remember.  We never actually saw Kelda use it to bump another character to the top of the initiative order.

Whoah, that's cool! In that case, make sure to bring up Froslass at some point @Mikaruge108, okay? (≧◡≦)

I'm interpreting this as a preferance to attack and defeat the Clones first before moving on to the Prime then, and will brainstorm my orders. They won't come up today anymore because I'm tired though.
