01[21:13] <Plutonis> All right then, here we go. It's the day after the remodeling of the Gym and the consultation with Mrs. Segann. You have filed a note informing of Dan's "missing" and "probably eaten" status to the League, who said that they were then sending a replacement who came to their waiting list a few days ago. While she is not an Ingol native, some of you who follow the musical scene might recognize the name of the person they sent. She is to arrive at the Gym in a while...
[21:14] <Sera> "So, uh... Any of you know who this Waters lady is?"
[21:14] <Quigley> "Not a clue."
[21:15] <Kale> "Nope, I enjoy classical."
[21:15] <EricOConnor> "I don't really listen to a whole lot of music, we haven't had a working radio in years at our place."
[21:16] <EricOConnor> "Mostly because my mother hasn't yet realized that hitting it isn't making it work again..."
[21:16] <MichelleWaters> [you're all uncultured swine]
[21:16] <Quigley> "They won't let me buy any more radios around here..."
[21:17] <Sera> "Guys, I think we might be a bunch of nerds."
[21:17] <Quigley> "No fucking shit."
[21:17] <EricOConnor> "Does your robot get any FM reception?"
[21:17] <Quigley> "Not this one, no. Still need a few more parts for the next one. And quite a bit of cash..."
[21:18] <EricOConnor> "Maybe your next robot should have a set of speakers built in so we can have a battle theme play whenever we have a fight."
[21:19] <Kale> "Well, given how meagre our salary has been so far, maybe we should find some sort of side job?" Maybe go see if Swanna has any requests they need taken care of or something?"
[21:19] <Quigley> "That's... actually in the plans."
01[21:19] <Plutonis> Alas, while you discuss your plebeian tastes, someone approaches... [Describe thyself, Michelle!]
[21:20] <MichelleWaters> [assuming they're like just straight up in the gym discussing things so]
[21:21] <Sera> [Sounds right to me.]
[21:22] <MichelleWaters> A blonde with matching eyes, wearing comfy shorts, a black jacket with contrasting white undershirt and a baseball cap practically kicks in the doors, an electric guitar on her back and a belt of pokeballs around her waist. "Boosh!" She carries a confident swagger as she heads inside.
01[21:22] <Plutonis> [Scene set was for the meet and greet :colbert:]
[21:23] <EricOConnor> "Hey, we just got those painted!"
[21:23] <Quigley> "...what happened to knocking. I like when people knock."
[21:23] <Sera> "Hey! Are you... 'Michelle Waters'?"
[21:24] <Kale> "Break them, you're buying the new ones."
[21:25] <MichelleWaters> "The one and only. This the place? All the buildings around here look the same."
[21:25] <Kale> "Let's put it this way. Until recently, you'd have easily been able to find this place, so the fact that it's hard to distinguish from the other ones is currently an improvement."
[21:25] <Quigley> "Can we get a different one. I want a different one. She seems loud."
[21:26] <Sera> "You big baby."
[21:26] <EricOConnor> "I'm afraid beggars can't be choosers when you're still only the second-worst city or town in the league, Quig."
[21:27] <Quigley> "But she kicked in our doors. Who does that??"
[21:27] <Quigley> *basically kicked
[21:27] <Kale> "Her, apparently. And as long as they're not actually broken, it should be fine."
[21:28] <Kale> "Anyways, welcome to Ingol Town Fight Club, Michelle."
[21:28] <EricOConnor> "I'm not saying she's not a monster, but we are stuck with her for the time being at least."
[21:29] <EricOConnor> "Oh, and welcome, yeah, nice to meet you? I'm Eric O'Connor."
[21:29] <MichelleWaters> "It's called making an entrance. Anyway, yo. Michelle Waters, one half of the best rock duo in decades, currently on hiatus."
[21:31] <Sera> "Sera Segann. You probably passed my mom's place on the way in."
[21:32] <MichelleWaters> "Oh, that shrine or whatever the heck. Yeah I saw one of the lucky charms hanging off the walls. Dunno why the lady there got upset at me trying to snag one."
[21:32] <EricOConnor> [was it the red balloon? those are the best ones]
[21:33] <MichelleWaters> [Immediately RPing out her ignorance of the supernatural due to Pathetic occult knowledge =D]
[21:33] <MichelleWaters> [she tried taking a Spell Tag off the walls]
[21:33] <Sera> "They're cleanse tags, not lucky charms.
[21:33] <Quigley> [Pathetic Occult Knowledge bros!]
[21:33] <Sera> "I swear, you people."
[21:34] <MichelleWaters> "Anyway, you all look a bit more... I dunno, down than I expected for a buncha folks who just ranked your town up. Somethin' up?"
[21:34] <Kale> "Well, I just tend to that stuff to you, so I'll take your word for it."[What? Just because I have Pathetic ranking too doesn't mean I can't believe in it. I just don't understand it :P]
[21:35] <Kale> (...tend to leave...)
[21:37] <EricOConnor> "You do know why you're here, right? The fact that we needed a replacement member, given the circumstances, is pretty depressing."
[21:38] <Kale> "Let's put it this way; the person whose shoes you're filling probably got eaten, so, uh, we hope you do better?"
[21:38] <Sera> "We still haven't confirmed that."
[21:38] <Quigley> "I have his shoes, if you want to literally fill them. God knows why you would, but."
[21:38] <EricOConnor> [goddammit Quigley]
[21:38] <Kale> "Probably, Sera, I did say probably."
[21:39] <Sera> "Seriously, you need to bury those shoes already. You're going to get your ass haunted at this rate."
[21:39] <Quigley> "I thought you said he wasn't dead."
[21:40] <EricOConnor> "At the very least drop them off at the [insert Pokemon equivalent of a Goodwill]."
[21:40] <MichelleWaters> "Yeah, I get the gist. No worries, I can handle myself pretty well. Just thought I'd ask if y'all want to lighten the mood a little. Cuz if there's one thing I can do, it's get a crowd pumped."
[21:41] <Sera> "They were still at /someone/'s grave, you know."
[21:41] <MichelleWaters> She motions toward her guitar.
[21:41] <Kale> "So Michelle, I don't suppose there was anyone else available at League Headquarters? We may need to be filling another slot soon." He glances at Quigley.
[21:42] <Quigley> "...what?"
01[21:42] <Plutonis> [Oh god what]
[21:42] <Kale> [And then starts debating what the application procedure to commit someone to the closest asylum is]
[21:43] <Quigley> [Quigley just has a slightly morbid sense of humor.]
[21:43] <Quigley> [Maybe.]
[21:43] <MichelleWaters> "Well there was this guy with a leg brace or something wearing a soccer uniform, but eh. First come, first serve."
[21:43] <Sera> [Besides, me and him got to do some Ghostbusters shit.]
[21:44] <Kale> [...We had to push you aside to stop you staring at the spider about to eat you. Then listen to you complain about said fact]
[21:44] <MichelleWaters> [Shoutouts to Nyaa]
[21:44] <Nyaa> [Huh?]
[21:44] <MichelleWaters> [i referenced your dude just now.]
[21:44] <Quigley> [...Okay, that was just Quigley being Quigley, yeah.]
[21:44] <Nyaa> [k]
[21:45] <MichelleWaters> "Anyway... You guys doing anything right now? Cuz if not I feel like testing the acoustics of this place."
[21:47] <Sera> "Well, we're going on a job hunt sooner or later, but play if you want."
[21:47] <MichelleWaters> And that phrase just triggered a glint in her eyes.
01[21:48] <Plutonis> There are electric sockets around if Michelle wants to plug in!
[21:48] <Quigley> [oh no]
[21:49] <MichelleWaters> [hers have batteries but she will plug it in, yes.]
[21:50] <MichelleWaters> She tosses a Pokeball up and gets the guitar out, getting it into the wall. Out pops a Cubone with a sash with... A pair of drumsticks. It scampers off to find a suitable surface, likely grabbing a trash can lid, and heads back towards its owner.
[21:51] <EricOConnor> [bangin' on a trash can... drummin' on a street light...]
[21:52] <MichelleWaters> "Here's a blast from the past, comin' at ya courtesy of Meteor Smash!"
[21:52] <MichelleWaters> [i actually prepared a song for this.]
[21:53] <MichelleWaters> [ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WfSDhnuMPQQ ]
[21:54] <MichelleWaters> What follows is, to those who understand music, a recreation of a rock and roll classic with electronic instrumentation. For everyone else, it's a barrage of guitar riffs and a Cubone furiously pounding on various surfaces.
[21:55] <Sera> "Huh."
[21:55] <Quigley> "Cubone is pretty good, I'll admit that."
[21:57] <Kale> "Seemed decent."
[21:58] <EricOConnor> "And it's not banging on any of our freshly painted doors."
[22:00] <MichelleWaters> She wraps up the song and engages in a complex high-five combo with the Cubone before recalling it. "I think I like this place. And can learn to like you guys."
[22:01] <MichelleWaters> [And I think I've done enough grandstanding entrance-wise at least.]
01[22:03] <Plutonis> Anything else before you leave to the Archaeological Dig at the spires?
[22:04] <Sera> Not really. Going to assume that I trained Carter in Ghost Assault earlier.
[22:07] <EricOConnor> [i'm good]
[22:07] <Quigley> [You know, if those plates turn out to be valuable relics, we could probably sell them to that syndicate"
[22:07] <Quigley> ]
[22:07] <Quigley> [And i'm good.]

[22:12] <Kale> [Right. Thought the plan was to do something else before getting around to doing the next Gym challenge, and given the location of the Spires it'd make sense to just proceed onto Ros from them]
[22:12] <Sera> [Either way we're just going to meander around until we get there, so let's just take our time and just start going places.]
[22:13] <Kale> [Now if that's what we want to do, that's cool too]
[22:13] <EricOConnor> [then i think we would definitely be better off postponing the spire trip until we're ready to take on Ros town]
[22:14] <Sera> [Then let's just choose a direction and go in it.]
[22:14] <MichelleWaters> [WEST]
[22:14] <EricOConnor> [we've been west]
[22:15] <Quigley> [That got Dan killed]
[22:16] <Sera> [Maybe we should just go visit Swanna Castle. I'm sure that they got something we could do. Or at least a cool castle to look at.]
[22:16] <EricOConnor> [doesn't sound so bad]
[22:16] <MichelleWaters> [Castle is my vote now yes]
[22:17] <MichelleWaters> [just because Michelle is not the castle type but is also your best social person probably.]

[22:18] <Quigley> [...no?]
[22:18] <Quigley> [wait, i mixed up the towns and the other things]
[22:18] <Quigley> [okay, yeah, castle]
[22:19] <Nyaa> [gahhh my background have ties to the castle]
[22:23] <EricOConnor> [i seem to recall kale suggesting the castle at the top of the session as well, so i think unless he's changed his mind since then, we're in agreement]
[22:24] <Kale> [I mentioned it as a suggestion, yes. Alternatively we could go to Mt. Gross. Harden the body and spirit with some high-altitude cold-weather training :P]
01[22:25] <Plutonis> [Sorry, was taking a bath to diminish the headache. So, most people ware wanting Castle?]
[22:25] <EricOConnor> [i wouldn't mind looking for Ice pokemon, but i don't think we're going to find any work there]
[22:25] <Quigley> [That was a quick bath, dear god.]
[22:25] <Kale> [Nah, I agree. Castle sounds good]
[22:25] <MichelleWaters> [castle. Michelle does not nature at all]
[22:27] <EricOConnor> [yeah, castle]
[22:29] <Sera> [Castle for me, too. To kill some time/repeat myself.]
[22:30] <EricOConnor> [maybe we can work one of those fancy shindigs mentioned in the OP's description of the castle. Quigley can be a busboy, Kale and I can be waiters, Sera can be the hostess, and Michelle can be the entertainment]
[22:30] <Sera> [Sera hosting a party is the funniest goddamn thing.]
[22:30] <MichelleWaters> [Rock music at a hoity-toity club.]
[22:31] <EricOConnor> [i'm sure they'll never forget us, even if they want to]
[22:31] <Sera> [Well, maybe it'll be fine if she has half of her mom's cooking ability, but it's still a recipe for disaster.]
[22:32] <EricOConnor> [well, the hostess station isn't typically in the kitchen, so i think you'll be fine]
[22:33] <Quigley> [busing works for Quigley, yeah.]
[22:33] <EricOConnor> [i meant hostess as in the restaurant position, the one where you direct people to their tables]
01[22:33] <Plutonis> Oh god was expecting you guys to stick to the plan and go to the spires. *throws gm today notes away* The party heads to the Swanna Castle, at the southeast of Ingol! The path is a clear one, as it's one of the most visited touristic spots on Fehu, and you arrive at a small chain of hills. Atop one of those and surrounded by the mists of autumn is a beautiful castle surrounded by pine trees and white mountains. There is a small lake below, and some flying Swanna can be seen swimming and flying on it. There are also many tourists taking the small cable that connects the road to the hill.
01[22:33] <Plutonis> http://i.imgur.com/XOSHT.jpg
[22:34] <Sera> [Sorry.]
[22:35] <Quigley> [we love you Plutonis]
06[22:35] * Sera whistles
[22:35] <Kale> [Ooooh, is that Neuschwanstein? Very pretty place. And yeah, sorry]
[22:35] <Nyaa> [always make travel plan at the end of session]
[22:36] <Kale> "Now that's an impressive sight."
01[22:36] <Plutonis> [Nyaa: i did at the last one :I]
[22:36] <EricOConnor> [the problem, Nyaa, is that we did, and we didn't keep to it]
[22:36] <Nyaa> [oh]
[22:37] <EricOConnor> "Man, how is that so close to Ingol Town and yet Ingol Town sucks so much?"
[22:37] <MichelleWaters> "Oh man, and here I thought the casino was gonna be the biggest gig I could play at. Little did I know there's a CASTLE here."
[22:38] <Sera> "Guess they just don't like leaving the mountains."
01[22:39] <Plutonis> The place was a winter vacation spot for royalty on the past. Back then they just saw the Ingol Plain as the place where the peasants made their food.
[22:40] <Quigley> "Well, that's a pretty view."
01[22:41] <Plutonis> There is a small museum inside where the furniture and artwork kept by the Kaisers of old are shown, and a small souvenir shop. The lake itself has a Lapras ride attraction for those who want to take a leisury view.
[22:43] <Sera> "Might as well check out the museum."
[22:45] <EricOConnor> "Or maybe we can just go see if there's some rich people in need of some day laborers?"
[22:46] <MichelleWaters> "Good idea. Lemme see if I can scope out the locals."
[22:46] <Sera> "Hey, the museum's got to have some rich people."
[22:47] <Quigley> "I like museums."
[22:47] <Kale> "Wait, maybe we should have checked to see if that electronic terminal had a job offerings board before leaving? Oh well, museum sounds good too."
01[22:48] <Plutonis> Suddenly, some noise can be heard from the lake!
[22:48] <Kale> [Referring to only having to insert money in some terminal in the gym to buy upgrades. Maybe it had other features]
[22:48] <MichelleWaters> [Oh man!]
01[22:48] <Plutonis> It seems that the Laprases are hurrying back to shore... And there is a commotion going on as well!
[22:49] <Sera> "Huh. Guess we should check it out."
[22:49] <MichelleWaters> Michelle, Gung go as she is and looking for action, immediately goes off to check this out.
[22:49] <EricOConnor> "Nah, it couldn't be that Marowak again, could it?" Eric mumbles to himself.
[22:49] <Kale> "Certainly seems odd." Kale walks in that direction
01[22:50] <Plutonis> ...Marowak?
[22:50] <EricOConnor> [from the cave sessions ago, the mother. i'm being an idiot]
[22:50] <Quigley> [...SAndslash??]
[22:50] <EricOConnor> [ah shit, i'm being a double idiot]
01[22:50] <Plutonis> [also in a LAKE?]
[22:50] <Quigley> [It found the Water Plate]
06[22:51] * Sera should probably make sure another clanmember doesn't get killed.
[22:51] <EricOConnor> [yeah, the lake part was the first idiot part]
[22:51] <EricOConnor> [that one was deliberate on my end]
[22:51] <EricOConnor> Eric heads to the lake
06[22:52] * Sera does the same.
[22:52] <EricOConnor> [brb, carry on]
[22:52] <MichelleWaters> [calling it right now, gyarados{
[22:55] <Kale> [If it's 50' long and red, we're pretending we didn't see anything and go somewhere else :P]
[22:55] <EricOConnor> [back]
[22:56] <Quigley> Quigley follows behind the others.
[22:58] <MichelleWaters> (Oh man yknow what else it could be--wait no, freshwater not saltwater)
[22:58] <MichelleWaters> (Were this the sea I would say Sharpedos)
[22:58] <EricOConnor> [ah, thought you were going to say a 50ft tentacruel]
[22:59] <Kale> [Well, in a lack of Sharpedo, there's always a school of Carvanha]
01[23:00] <Plutonis> It's none of those. In fact, the people are pointing at something quite large that is floating on the lake. You can see three pitch-black scaly ridges poking from the surface, and then it dives back at the water.
01[23:01] <Plutonis> Meanwhile... The tourists converge at one of the lapras on the shore. It seems one of its fins was badly bitten, and blood is seeping from it. Whatever bit it... It was enormous!
01[23:01] <Plutonis> Its handler hurriedly puts the Pokemon back at the ball. "What the... I never saw something like this before!"
[23:02] <Kale> "What happened, and do you have any idea what that was?"
[23:03] <MichelleWaters> Michelle whistles at the wound. "Ohhhh whatever it is down there it is metal as all get out. Definitely needs to either get caught or get put down."
[23:03] <MichelleWaters> [and I have the Great Balls and the electric-type needed to accomplish both tasks!]
[23:04] <Kale> [If it's anything like the Ariados, you're not catching it. There may be other things though...]
[23:04] <Sera> "Seems like it'd be a bit hard to get up here, though."
[23:05] <Sera> "You know, unless someone wants to be bait."
[23:06] <MichelleWaters> "I just need to get a good opening and then..."
[23:06] <EricOConnor> "Hey, you've got amplification, you should make good bait - er, distraction."
[23:07] <Kale> "Maybe chuck something heavy into the lake, see if we disturb it?"

[23:15] <MichelleWaters> [... Whelp.]
[23:15] <Kale> [Double HAH. Also, apparently busy talking. That's my story and I'm sticking to it]
01[23:15] <Plutonis> Kale is hit by water of the lake and sees nothing!
01[23:16] <Plutonis> Meanwhile, the others perceive that the trail of blood of the lapras leads to a small grotto on the edge of the lake! A small river goes inside it, but there is also a dry path you can use to walk inside...
[23:16] <Kale> [I was asking one of the staff a question, Plutonis :)]
[23:19] <MichelleWaters> "... There! In that cave! That sucker's fast, but not fast enough."
[23:20] <EricOConnor> "I suppose we ought to go check it out then."
01[23:24] <Plutonis> The inside of the cave is quite dark. You can barely see anything on front of you, but there is a strong stench of blood inside...
[23:24] <EricOConnor> [go go eric flashlight]
06[23:26] * Sera also takes out her flashlight. Good thing she got the waterproof one, eh?
[23:26] <MichelleWaters> Michelle has a solution as well! She lights up her lighter. Between the small light radius of flame and the focused beam of the flashlight, the lighting problems are solved!
[23:26] <MichelleWaters> [and I splurged for the stormproof version of mine!]
[23:26] <Sera> [Also, because I'm paranoid and it's easy to miss, the question Kale asked earlier: <Kale> "I'm sure you've never seen that before, but do you have any idea what it might have been?"]
01[23:27] <Plutonis> Sera and Eric notice an enormous black lizard pokemon at the end of the Grotto. Its jaws are bloody, and its eyes are a gleaming yellow. It lets out a thunderous roar!
[23:28] <Sera> "So... Do we fight it?"
[23:29] <Kale> "What the hell is that?! And I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be here; and violent."
[23:29] <Quigley> "We're gonna end up fighting it eventually, aren't we?"
[23:29] <EricOConnor> "Can't argue with that logic."
[23:29] <Kale> [Can we vaguely recognize what it is/was?]
[23:30] <MichelleWaters> "It's a giant swimming lizard, right? That means it's gotta be easy to zap. That said... Gimme oooone chance to try sweet-talking it."
01[23:30] <Plutonis> [LET OUT MONS AND ROLL INITIATIVE!]
[23:30] <MichelleWaters> [Charm to try to influence it. Let's see what we get for calling it down--okay]
[23:31] <EricOConnor> "Go Joltik!" [Eric - 16, Joltik - 14]
[23:31] <Sera> "Well... Go fast." Sera lets out dear sweet Cassandra, who blends in pretty well in this dark, dark cave.
[23:32] <Sera> [Sera is Speed 8, Cassandra is 15]
[23:32] <Kale> "Sly, go!"[Kale - 9, Sly - 12]
[23:32] <Quigley> "Alice, let's give this a shot." Quigley sends out a Flaafy. [Quigley 5, Alice 5]
[23:33] <Kale> The grass snake immediately finds a rough patch to hide in
[23:33] <MichelleWaters> Michelle lets out her Elekid regardless. "Let's get it on!" [Michelle 10, Elekid 13]

[23:39] <Kale> [Yes]
[23:39] <MichelleWaters> [this could hurt. A lot.]
01[23:39] <~Plutonis> [Yeowch]
[23:40] <EricOConnor> [doesn't 2 speed evade mean it needs to get a 4 to hit?]
01[23:40] <~Plutonis> [against phys, not speed, though?]
[23:40] <Kale> [I just assumed it was a move that ignored it, or there's some bonus to accuracy]
[23:40] <MichelleWaters> [i mean context-wise speed would fit but mechanically it's probably phys]
[23:41] <Kale> [You use either Speed or whichever is highest unless the move says otherwise]
[23:41] <MichelleWaters> [oh. Huh.]
01[23:41] <~Plutonis> [nvm then!]
[23:41] <Sera> [Yeah, I think Kale's remembering it right. Still going to recheck, though.]

[23:41] <EricOConnor> [kale's got it right because that's what i remember too]
[23:41] <Kale> [It's how sweepers stay alive, since they typically don't invest in the ability to actually tank hits]
01[23:42] <~Plutonis> Michelle dodges at the last turn, and the gator bites on the air. It's quite frightening, however... If it hit...

[23:43] <Kale> [Yeah, it says unless specified otherwise, but I haven't seen a move or feature that actually does. Though I haven't exactly looked through everything]
[23:45] <MichelleWaters> [OOH SORRY didn't realize it was my turn]
[23:46] <MichelleWaters> [Just making sure, now's when I can do my own actions, so...]

[23:54] <Kale> "Sly catch it in a tornado, see if you can disorient it."[Will be using Leaf Tornado] Kale, meanwhile, does nothing
[23:56] <Sera> Since Michelle just made herself a really good target, Sera has plenty of time to draw some blood and draw an eldritch sigil directed at the strange crocodile-thing.
[23:57] <Quigley> "Alice, change the terrain to our favor."
[23:57] <Sera> [Using Curse.  I'm down to 45 HP, and it takes 1/6 of it's max HP every time it takes a standard action.]

Session Time: Mon Sep 22 00:00:01 2014
01[00:00] <~Plutonis> As Sera's eldritch power clashes with the Black croc, a dark aura surrounds the creature, diminishing the effectiveness of the cursed power...
[00:00] <Sera> [And yeah, once a round's a fine thing.]
[00:00] <MichelleWaters> [probably on the Pokemon side of it]
[00:01] <Kale> [Arceus, I hope that's just a description and not an actual Aura]

[00:04] <Sera> [Debuff. Debuff like mad.]
01[00:04] <~Plutonis> Cassandra and Joltik!
[00:04] <MichelleWaters> [i can kill off either attack stat. AND its defenses even faster]
[00:05] <Kale> [That's two physical attacks now. While it might have Special too, that's what it has been using so far]
[00:05] <EricOConnor> Joltik uses Thunder Wave! And Eric spends 1 AP to activate Round Trip, switching Joltik out for Pineco as a Free Action!
[00:05] <MichelleWaters> [the question is do you want offense or defense down, and then whether you want phys or special down and/or want extra bonuses]
01[00:05] <~Plutonis> (LWW?)
[00:06] <Kale> [Take down its Atk, I'd say]
[00:06] <Sera> [Fuck, I'm dumb, sorry.]

01[00:14] <~Plutonis> The electric attack zaps the lizard Pokemon, who seems a bit winded by it!

[00:42] <Kale> [Knew we shouldn't have had a drinking party with our pokemon last night]
01[00:43] <~Plutonis> !r 1d20
[00:43] <Krysmbot> Plutonis, 0603506 = 045
[00:43] <EricOConnor> [what better way to honor someone's memory than drinking to forget?]
01[00:43] <~Plutonis> !r 1d20
[00:43] <Krysmbot> Plutonis, 06031206 = 0412
01[00:43] <~Plutonis> The crocodile bites at Kale's torso, shaking him!
01[00:44] <~Plutonis> !r 5d10+33
[00:44] <Krysmbot> Plutonis, 06033206+33 = 0465
[00:44] <MichelleWaters> [... Imma gon go for it I think.]
[00:44] <Kale> [10 thp, was it?]
[00:44] <MichelleWaters> [10 PERCENT of max]
01[00:44] <~Plutonis> It seems quite pissed now... And Courageous as well!
[00:45] <Kale> [Oh. Still, just barely enough. I'm at 1 HP]
[00:45] <LurksWithWolves> [Did I say that it was probably a Fertligator? Because it's definitely a Fert-however it's spelled.]
01[00:45] <~Plutonis> Trainer turns!
[00:45] <MichelleWaters> [imma gon toss a ball. Just because I am feeling hella lucky and so is Michelle.]
[00:46] <EricOConnor> [feraligatr, but yeah, i can see that]
06[00:46] * LurksWithWolves still can't put it to sleep because of the general charge in the air, so she's going to continue hoping it won't bite her in half.
[00:46] <EricOConnor> "Pineco, one more shot!"
06[00:46] * Kale glares at the gator that just nearly bit him in half
01[00:47] <~Plutonis> [You mean Sera, LWW?]
01[00:47] <~Plutonis> [:P]
[00:47] <MichelleWaters> [what the--oh]
[00:47] <MichelleWaters> !roll 1d20
[00:47] <Krysmbot> MichelleWaters, 06031406 = 0414
[00:47] <Quigley> "One more try, Alice. We can do it."
[00:47] <MichelleWaters> [thats a hit on the great ball!]
01[00:47] <~Plutonis> The croc grabs the ball out on the air with its arm.
01[00:48] <~Plutonis> And crushes it into pieces.
[00:48] <Sera> [Hardy har har]
[00:48] <MichelleWaters> "... Oh. Well you're a right bastard, now aren't you?"
[00:48] <Kale> "OW! That hurts! Sly, put it down hard!"
01[00:48] <~Plutonis> !r 1d20
[00:48] <Krysmbot> Plutonis, 06031206 = 0412
[00:49] <Kale> Meanwhile, Kale backs off and drinks some nice, refreshing water.
01[00:49] <~Plutonis> It then bites again at Alice, trying to munch off the Flaafy's head off!
01[00:49] <~Plutonis> !r 1d20
[00:49] <Krysmbot> Plutonis, 0603206 = 042
01[00:49] <~Plutonis> But it thankfully misses. Pokemon turns!
[00:49] <MichelleWaters> SHOCKU WAVEU
[00:50] <MichelleWaters> !roll 1d20
[00:50] <Krysmbot> MichelleWaters, 06031006 = 0410
[00:50] <Sera> Cassandra continues her not particularly effective but still useful barrage of wing blows.
[00:50] <Sera> !r 1d20
[00:50] <Krysmbot> Sera, 0603306 = 043
[00:50] <Sera> They are less effective than usual.
[00:50] <Kale> Sly tries again
[00:50] <Kale> !r 1d20
[00:50] <Krysmbot> Kale, 0603706 = 047

[00:50] <Krysmbot> MichelleWaters, 0603406+31 = 0435
[00:50] <Kale> And actually connects with Vine Whip this time
[00:51] <EricOConnor> Pineco tries again as well.
[00:51] <EricOConnor> !r 1d20
[00:51] <MichelleWaters> [... I wonder what my capture roll would've been.]
[00:51] <Krysmbot> EricOConnor, 0603506 = 045

[00:51] <Krysmbot> MichelleWaters, 06038306-13 = 0470
[00:51] <MichelleWaters> [.... Yeah that would've failed]
[00:51] <EricOConnor> [does a 5 hit on an AC2 attack?]
[00:52] <Kale> [Eh, if it'd actually worked, but failed to catch, I probably would have tossed one as well]
01[00:52] <~Plutonis> (It does)
[00:52] <Quigley> Flaafy tries to electrocute the gator once more.
01[00:52] <~Plutonis> (Hit)
[00:52] <Quigley> !roll d20
[00:52] <Krysmbot> Quigley, 0603306 = 043
[00:52] <Quigley> [...AC2?]
[00:52] <Sera> [Hello Krysmbot my old friend.]
[00:52] <Kale> [Unless it has an untyped, the 5 should hit]
[00:52] <EricOConnor> !r 2d8+10+14
[00:52] <Krysmbot> EricOConnor, 0603806+10+14 = 0432
[00:53] <EricOConnor> [if that bastard has a berry it is mine]
01[00:54] <~Plutonis> The vine whip attack doesn't do much against the creature's hard hide, but it's almost fryed by the Shock Wave!
01[00:54] <~Plutonis> [Also flaafy misses :(]
01[00:54] <~Plutonis> The Pineco bites at the monster with... Wait a minute?
[00:54] <MichelleWaters> [before we hit trainer turns, I'm evoking the fact that Baby Doll Eyes is Priority]
01[00:54] <~Plutonis> Does a Pineco even have a mouth?
[00:55] <MichelleWaters> [... Oh dear.]
01[00:55] <~Plutonis> Well, in any case, it bites the gator!
[00:55] <EricOConnor> [sure it does. if not, where did that sigh come from last turn?]
01[00:55] <~Plutonis> The monster... Seems to be on its last legs.
01[00:55] <~Plutonis> !r 1d20
[00:55] <Krysmbot> Plutonis, 0603506 = 045
[00:55] <Sera> [It's one of those worms that sticks bits onto itself to make armor/shelter. It has a mouth, it's just under a hatch or something.]
[00:55] <MichelleWaters> [... Actually no. I'll choose to do the cooler thing.]
[00:56] <EricOConnor> [all these 5's on the para checks are killing me]
01[00:56] <~Plutonis> It tries to bite at Eric!
01[00:56] <~Plutonis> !r 1d20
[00:56] <Krysmbot> Plutonis, 0603406 = 044
[00:56] <Sera> [Tell me about it.]
01[00:56] <~Plutonis> (AC 2)
[00:56] <EricOConnor> [well, i say killing me, but i dodge that :P]
[00:57] <Kale> [Given my rolling, even the fact that my mons get a +2 to their roll, and thus only fail on a 1 or 2, would probably mean many skipped turns]
01[00:57] <~Plutonis> He dodges the bite then! Trainer turns!
[00:57] <MichelleWaters> Michelle goes right up to the thing while making sure no one's in the way...
[00:58] <EricOConnor> "Pineco, you've almost got it! Give it another shot!"
[00:58] <MichelleWaters> "DIE ALREADY!"
[00:58] <MichelleWaters> !roll 1d20
[00:58] <Krysmbot> MichelleWaters, 0603206 = 042
[00:58] <Kale> "Sly it's almost down, just hit it one more time!"
[00:58] <MichelleWaters> [... Wait wait. It has Smite]
[00:58] <MichelleWaters> [so half damage I believe]
[00:59] <Sera> [Well, that's something.]
[00:59] <MichelleWaters> [smite deals.... Damage as if it were resisted one step further.]
[01:00] <MichelleWaters> [just looked it up]
[01:00] <MichelleWaters> !roll 2d10+23
[01:00] <Krysmbot> MichelleWaters, 0603606+23 = 0429
[01:00] <Kale> [So generally 50% of typical, unless you're unlucky enough to toss it at something that already doubly resisted it]
[01:00] <LurksWithWolves> [So half damage.]
[01:00] <MichelleWaters> [well yeah I suppose.]
01[01:00] <~Plutonis> (uh wait what was the 2?)
[01:01] <MichelleWaters> [yeah.]
[01:01] <Quigley> Flaafy tries once more. !roll 1d20
[01:01] <Kale> [With DR, it's worked out as -SpDef, then halved, then subtract DR, right?]
[01:01] <Quigley> !roll 1d20
[01:01] <Krysmbot> Quigley, 06031406 = 0414
[01:01] <EricOConnor> [the two was on a move that deals half damage if it misses]]
[01:01] <MichelleWaters> [but Hyper Voicr has Smite, deals half on a miss]
01[01:01] <~Plutonis> (Ah ok)
[01:01] <Kale> [Michelle used Hyper Voice again]
01[01:01] <~Plutonis> It's... Almost down.
[01:01] <Kale> [Quigley, we're still in trainer turns]
[01:02] <Quigley> [oj]
01[01:02] <~Plutonis> The sonic waves bounce off the Gator's skin, but it's quite close to dying...
[01:02] <Quigley> [im awake, yes]
[01:02] <MichelleWaters> [And now I'm doing something uncharacteristic to this situation.]
01[01:02] <~Plutonis> (Eric/others?)
[01:02] <Sera> [I got nothing. Not kicking a monster gator.]
[01:03] <EricOConnor> [i gave my order, i'm not wasting our time by trying to hit the thing myself]
[01:03] <MichelleWaters> [QUICK ATTACK once the mon turns come around. We are not letting this guy dive.]
[01:03] <Kale> [I'll stand back here, thanks]
[01:03] <Quigley> Quigley ain't doing shit.

[01:03] <Krysmbot> MichelleWaters, 06031406 = 0414
[01:04] <Kale> [Well, on the bright side it didn't use Ice Fang]
01[01:04] <~Plutonis> (Quick Attack?)
01[01:04] <~Plutonis> (Hits)
[01:04] <MichelleWaters> !roll d8+6+13
[01:04] <Krysmbot> MichelleWaters, 0603606+6+13 = 0425
[01:04] <MichelleWaters> (That resolves before the gator)
[01:04] <Sera> [Hits. Also, it is specifically Crunch, right?]
01[01:05] <~Plutonis> Elekid jumps at the last moment and hits the Black Feraligator's stomach! It... Pierces through it, making a gorey hole on the enormous lizard!
[01:05] <EricOConnor> [thank god]
01[01:05] <~Plutonis> It walks around, vomits a torrent of purple gore and falls down to the ground, dissolving into a black goop.
01[01:05] <~Plutonis> (Roll perception)
[01:05] <Kale> [That's interesting. The kill, not the creepiness]

[01:06] <MichelleWaters> Elekid rushes over to Michelle, who initiates the same high five combo she made with Cubone before recalling it for a job well done.
01[01:06] <~Plutonis> Sera and Kale notice something on the midst of the goop.
06[01:06] * Kale limps over to have a better look at the corpse
01[01:07] <~Plutonis> Also Michelle's hand is now GRODY as hell due to the Elekid being covered in gator stuff.
01[01:07] <~Plutonis> The body is now just bones and black liquid. But...
[01:07] <Kale> And then sighs, before reaching in and retrieving "whatever" it might be
01[01:07] <~Plutonis> A black tablet is on the midst of it.
06[01:07] * Kale quickly stuffs it away in his pack
[01:08] <Sera> "Another one of these things..."
01[01:08] <~Plutonis> And it seems to be the same kind as the other ones indeed!
[01:08] <Kale> "Let's discuss it later."
[01:08] <MichelleWaters> "... Right, I should wash this. But whatever, we just slayed a giant gator thing! Let's demand a reward!"
[01:08] <EricOConnor> "Yeah, we need some serious patching up. And maybe we can get a paycheck out of this."
[01:08] <Sera> "Oh, yeah. Michelle, we're knee deep in some weird magical plate shit."
[01:08] <Quigley> [Okay I need to sleep. Can I read the end of the session after?]
01[01:08] <~Plutonis> [Can we do that later? Migraine is killing me.]
[01:09] <Kale> "Now, I just want to briefly talk to the staff, see if there's any reward, then go lay down for a while."
[01:09] <Sera> "Good thing I'm an expert on this stuff."
[01:09] <MichelleWaters> [sure.]
01[01:09] <~Plutonis> [yeah, stopping it right now, bees.]
[01:09] <Sera> [Works for me.]
[01:09] <MichelleWaters> [ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=khpt0TvgR3g the aforementioned high five]
01[01:09] <~Plutonis> [just let me write something.]
[01:09] <Kale> [Yeah, just work it all out later]
02[01:09] * Kale[B] (Mibbit@synIRC-39D1BEEB.washdc.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[01:10] <MichelleWaters> [Side note: what do you all think?]
[01:10] <MichelleWaters> [Do I make a good replacement?]
01[01:10] <~Plutonis> You end your adventure for today by leaving the grotto! It was a grueling fight against a mysterious and violent creature, but you emerged out of it unscathed. But yet the Mystery of those Tablets is unsolved. What are those and why do they have those effects on Pokemon?
[01:10] <EricOConnor> [you were effective, can't argue that]
