[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

Happy Halloween everyone!

Slowly working on the next post.  Gonna be autoing Daxter for it, so there's a few more decisions I need to make than normal.

[Spiritmon]

HEEEEEEEEEELOOOOOOOO EVERYONE! WE BACK AT TOWN!

@Iron, @CodySP and @PhantomUnderYourDesk, truly thank you!

[Dragonstrike]

Yup, looks like we're back.  Definitely a big thank you to Cody from me as well

I'll get back to working on the next round of vs Lando after I get off work today.  No One has been feeling better, so he has until then to post if he wants to have some input on how that round goes.  Otherwise, I'll auto Daxter as originally planned to keep things moving and he can respond to the next round.

(...)@Phantom, truly thank you!

I didn't do anything though - except maybe asking Cody to look into it - so I don't think I deserve your thanks >///<

[Dragonstrike]

You kept us in the loop since you were the main one asking Cody for updates, so I think you deserve thanks for that Phantom

Soooo...in other news, shortly after the forums went back up, I also learned that...

Spoiler

...as of this morning, I am now officially an uncle!

So that's exciting.  Happened a little earlier than we were expecting though.  Last I heard, my sister's due date had been re-estimated to be in December!

Grats!

Good to have the forums back.
-Edit-
Oh yeah, Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone!

[Dragonstrike]

You guys got really lucky with some of those rolls, lol.

Let's finish this fight, and do it to some banging franchise appropriate music!

EDIT: And happy belated Thanksgiving to you too Mika! Very thankful I get to roleplay with y'all on these forums

Holy fuck, the forums are back up?! HUZZAH! And Dragonstrike is an uncle too?! Man, life is on the up and up thoroughly! Hopefully your sis is okay from the early birth, though I think you've implied their has been no serious complication with them...

On the subject of the Lando Fight: wowzer, that's an epic (and quite lucky) Round with the big bad sand kitty djini ! Shame that Platina plot didn't amount to much, but then again Metal Sound did help guarantee some extra Damage! Now we got a delima on our hands: judging by that huge cloud of sand surrounding him, the Human PCs will probably have to blast through that with Mega Gallade's help in order for the rest of the party to get on the whole 'actually hurting and hindering the Boss' effort. That, and having both a Raging Shadow Sandstorm, his slew of nasty tricks, and whatever horror PDs Dragonstrike can conjure up now that we've managed to truly piss the big guy off to contend with. On the flip side, we can now call in re-inforcements with Hoopa, and due to how well the first half of the fight went we have much less to worry on the Item resource front!

So, game plan: first of all, is Lando about to unless a MASSIVE Enmity Attack again? Assuming yes, we probably want to get everyone behind cover that isn't afraid of getting scoured or Fainted before reengaging. Then it's getting Hoopa to summon backup ASAP and chipping away at any defenses it has left so we can open it up once more to a mass assault. Flinch and Freeze seem to work really on him, so telling the NPCs to focus on those Moves once it's confirmed Lando doesn't have any Anti-BS defenses up is a good choice. Finally, Clashing is always on the table to try and blunt the worst that Lando can do with his REALLY nasty attacks, though that'd probably take combined effort from multiple Pokemon + doing the Clashes Single Action to have good odds of beating Lando's Dice Pool.

Any thoughts on these ideas, mates?

First of all: Congratulations Dragonstrike! Welcome to the uncle club. I wish you all the best in the world mate

Now on the topic of Landorus: That's a really complicated situation. I was hoping Bulk Up would stay put so I could lend my strikes more efficient. There a few risks plans I might use:

All in: Use every fiber of my body to launch as many moves I can, using my priority moves to fight against him. We must land as much damage we can. And I can't keep using Bulk Up right in the middle of the final match. Maybe use a Combination of Quick Attack+Shadow Punch and Bite and ignore my pain using Will Points (God, I really need another Ghost-type move). With some luck, I might able to land some hits before my Revive seed kicks in. Right now we can't have the luxury in sabe healing items. This is for these kinds of situations we use them.

Play safe: Hide behind a pillar, then use Bulk Up, and then try a luck die using Quick Attack+Shadow Punch. Or maybe use another move to use together.

Both she and the baby are doing fine I heard.  Thanks for asking!
