[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

Spirit, that's why I said 'at some point' lolz

Oh, the very first battle. Hyyyyyped!~ But first of all I've got a question, Dragon: Is there something static around that would not take an Action to hide behind, a big enough rock or so? Or alternatively, is it possible for Kee take cover within his gutarbag carried over from being a human, is there enough space for him (it currently holds 8/10 Items)

Things gonna be difficult to handle in the future I see between the Ghost Riolu and Dark Zigzagoon...oh dear.

With Pyra running Intimidation/Embarassment tactics to break up fights and resist a good deal of G-Zizagoon's attacks it has right now, Kogeki's won't have much to worry about so long as she's there to stop any unnecessary conflict! Doesn't hurt that Intimidate is her actual Ability, so she's pretty safe right now so far as getting bullied by anyone not named Dax!

It's too dark in the room to see anything.  You could spend an action searching for cover, though.

I guess you could use the guitar bag as cover if it had fewer items in it (needs to have 5 or fewer items stored in it for a Zigzagoon to fit inside), but it might be destroyed in the process if you do.

Holy shi***. I normally am a guy excited for battles. But not very much now having such low stat, and low iniative. Can we try to run away from this battle? Kogeki can faint if those bats beat him enough!

Don't worry, your opponents' stats aren't much better (particularly after Intimidate  )

From you just said recently, Kogeki has Quick Attack, so his low INI doesn't matter at all if he only makes that single attack on Spinerack/one of the Zubats and Pyra + the rest of the group members tag team it into oblivion, so that it's a 5 v 2 against the enemies (which Karen may or may not be able to screw over with Confusion or Growl, if all they have is there 1 Instinct or low XP Moves). Watch out for Bite and Astonish from the Zubats, though, as those'll hurt even with a - 2 STR from Intimidate and a Ralts Growl (Since Ability Debuffs and Move Debuffs stack, from what I recall) ; honestly it'd probably be better if they used Supersonic, if it only acts like Pokerole Curse instead of tanking Accuracy dice !

Alright...Let's just decided everyone about who target who.

[Lord Windos]

Dragonstrike, since you're pretty much playing as Karen in the group for now (You could always pass them along to another player if their chara. carks it, or a new player wants to join), can you confirm that she has 1 or 2 Instinct, or is that too much meta knowledge to give us?

[Spiritmon]

Based in Kogeki Antecipation, either Zubat have Bite know, or Spinarak have a reaaaaaaaaally nast Lethal Move. I think the first one is the more possible. Karen know any Psychic move to deal with those Zubat? I think Kogeki will focus in hit Quick Attack in of those Zubat, since they are more the ones who have the Dark Move, so they are the first target.

@no one, Windos and Phantom, who you three gonna focus the attacks?

[Lord Windos]

Alright...Let's just decided everyone about who target who.

If we want to be the most prudent, going after the Zubats would be for the best, as if we take them down then we don't have them raining down attacks on us from atop the INI ladder, so if Dax, Kee, and Karen can focus on mawling them so that Pyra can come right in to burnate one, that'd be lovely! Biggest threat we have to worry about really is getting Poisoned by Spinarak's Poison Sting, however, so taking them down ASAP before they get the chance to fire one off probably is the best thing to do, unless we want to tempt Miss Fortune, Lady Luck, and Di-Ce, the tabletop gods of probability.

Regarding the Spinarak more, they likely have Spider Web as a Move to prevent us from fleeing, if that Spider Web block our way previously is any indication, and if not they have String Shot and Infestation (If they have 2 or more Instinct) to slow us down if we want to sceddadle, so escape really isn't much of an option, really.
