Cheshire:
the big brain strat

Cheshire:
Suppression: Suppressed uses cannot use any Moves with a Frequency other than "At-Will". At the start of each of their turns, a Suppressed target must make a Save Check that succeeds on 11+. On a successful check, the target may act normally that turn. On a roll of 16 or higher, the target is cured of Suppression.

Cheshire:
reminder
Penny: (( That almost literally does not affect me lel ))

Cheshire:
yeah see

Cheshire:
was kind of hoping to not get Encore.
Penny: (( I can no longer use Autotomize. ))

"Aw, lame!"

Rayner:
"Well that was...something. But what sort of something..."

Nick:
"That was weird... what was that?"

Rayner:
"She used Assist. My master loves that move...but it looks like it didn't pay off."

Nick: (( Would that be General or Pokemon knowledge? ))

Velcro:
Penny gets SNUCKED THE FUCK UP ON

Velcro:

"Damn it, don't have a choice in the matter... Penny, you gotta get those webs off you!"

Nick:
I have no way to get in range to actually USE the cloak, do I

Nick:
unless vertical distance doesn't count.

Cassandra:
You don't

Nick:
Am I actually about to have her take a fkn breather

Penny:
god damn you

Penny:
I lose my speed CSes, too

Penny:
I worked for those

Penny:
...and I'm VULNERABLE, what the FUCK

Penny:
this is the worst action of all time

Penny:
Penny scowls, and hacks away at the numbing webs!
Eliza: (( your claws are now also slowed, lose 5 Speed CS, and stuck ))

Cassandra:
wlel

Cassandra:
you'd be vulnerable anyway

Cassandra:
bc tripped

Penny:
It says Tripped and Vulnerable.

Penny:
Strangle.

Nick has received initiative.
Penny: (( I guess that's in case the target normally can't be tripped? ))

Velcro:
So you ripped the spoder webs away right

Penny:
I literally had no other action so yeh.

Velcro:
Velcro smiles to herself sneckingly

Penny:
don't you sneck at me.

Velcro:
She crawls down the wooden bar

Velcro:

Velcro:
Damage: 28, Physical

Velcro:
and begins to chew through the rope

Velcro:
But she does not get very far

Velcro:
33 right mixed power

Velcro:
she gets further than you'd think

Cheshire:
And now it is my turn

Cheshire:
17

Cheshire:
Cheshire hops across the crane, which you are quickly coming to realize is not a crane

Penny:
ok but even if it's a trebuchet it's not actually going to send her flying

Penny:
she's on the high end

Cheshire:
oh, agi

Cheshire:
1

Cheshire:
Nice, good thing ropes can't dodge

Cheshire:
5

Cheshire:
Damage: 35, Physical

Cheshire:
It's not a trebuchet

Cheshire:
it's

Cheshire:
a

Cheshire:
catapult

Penny:
no it's a trebuchet

Penny:
there's a distinct difference

Penny:
but I'll let it slide for the pun

Cheshire:
i know there is

Cheshire:
but this is no trebuchet

Cheshire:
well technically it's actually BOTH

Cheshire:
as it's a catapult trebuchet

Cheshire:
which exist

Cheshire:
and look exactly like this

Cheshire:
In any case, the rope snaps from the cheshire cat's glimmering swipes, and...you need to make a pretty hefty Athletics check if you want to hold on

Penny:
good thing I have Inspired Traini- WAIT SHIT FOCUSED IS THE ONE THAT BENEFITS SAVE CHECKS

Cheshire:
skill checks

Penny:
She'd like, run along it or something

Cheshire:
inspired benefits save checks

Cheshire:
this isn't a save check

Penny:
If she wasn't tripped

Penny:
Yeah I typed the wrong thing

Penny:
7 Athletics anyhow but like

Penny:
She still isn't part of the payload (waiting)

Penny:
she's just gonna be falling with the counterweight

Cheshire:
agi

Cheshire:
this isnt' a trebuchet

Cheshire:
or rather it is, but not the kind you're thinking of

Cheshire:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EU2wCK0t2Yc/RZv-gOu7hfI/AAAAAAAAABE/_DbYnN4qPeA/s400/trebuchet.bmp

Cheshire:
that's the wrong kind

Penny:
the one you just posted is the wrong kind?

Cheshire:
yes

Cheshire:
this acts like a catapult in its mechanisms

Penny:
why don't you post the right kind then bc I am really not seeing this

Penny:
like, it chews through the rope that was holding it in place... then the weight that's underneath penny drags it down

Penny:
that's what I'm seeing

Penny:
which is still shitty bc eight years of falling damage

Cheshire:
the thing underneath penny is the load

Cheshire:
the weight isn't visible

Cheshire:
it'd be on the other side of the beam

Penny:
The weight would not have any distance to actually FALL if it's what you're thinking (waiting)

Cheshire:
and would swing under and through the middle

Penny:
like at best I'd accept it throwing her into the river

Cheshire:
well yeah that's what it's doing

Cheshire:
it's not set for actually firing right now

Penny:
oh well you bitch

Velcro:
Velcro continues to sneck at Penny

Velcro:
who is now tripped

Velcro:
and in the water

Penny:
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT

Velcro:
you were already tripped

Alte:
"Ahahaha! How do you like that? That's how a bandit fights!"

Alte:
"Er, I mean, an ex-bandit!"

Nick:
"Gaaah, what?! Are you kidding me? What's a catapult doing here?"

Alte:
"I 'unno."

You Get One Guess:
"Ah, was that useful? I thought it might make for a fun prank!"

Nick:
"Don't tell me you set that up!"

Nick:

Cassandra:

Ally:

Penny:

Ally:

Penny:
that's why I was flippin out over 6 meters

Ally:
there isn't any possible benefit to that

Penny:
I'm not

Penny:
did I move somehow

Ally:
I... think so

Penny:
10 Penny tries to regain her bearings!

Penny:
Focus

Penny:
not that it rly matters

Penny:
She looks for the fastest route back up, sheds some excess weight (Autotomize), and paddles!

Penny:
so Swim 2, now Swim 5.

Ally:

Alte:
"Okay, guys, double team 'em!"

Nick:
"Keep pushing it, Penny!" Nick activates Rally

Alte:
"We just gotta take the fat lump out before the cat gets back!"

"And stay still, god dammit!"

Alte:
"Seriously, do you want me to hop in and push you off??"

Does the bag provide no insulation

Motherfucker I get static shocked by dough on the daily

Velcro:

Velcro:

Velcro:

Velcro:
The injury lowered the Special Attack stat!

Velcro:
The Joltik wakes up, not knowing what the fuck is going on!

Velcro:

Penny:
o ok
Penny has received initiative.

Penny:
I'mma have her move on top of the pillar.

Penny:
Once it breaks out, sneak attack.

Velcro:
It's just struggling inside the bag, moving about sporadically and crying!

Velcro:
It can kind of see through the burlap, so it knows the general direction Penny went

Velcro:
And heads in that direction

Velcro:
sort of

Nick:
dragging the bag along with it?

Velcro:
yes

Velcro:
It keeps crying, letting out a pwerful screech!

Velcro:
-2 Defense CSs

Sanya:

Penny:

Nick:
"Call that one a wash, or do you really need the finisher?" Nick smugly folds his arms at Alte

Alte:
"Eh, it's not my Pokemon. Do whatever you want to it."

Alte:
"No sense in giving up if I've got nothing to lose by going on, right?"
Penny has received initiative.

Ally:
"That's the spirit!"

Ally:
"We can't just give up! That pokemon died for our sins!"

Nick:
Nick uses 1 AP!

Nick:
"Fair enough - alright, Fake Out!"

Ally:

Velcro:

Penny:

Velcro:
The bug collapses, barely knocked out!

Velcro:
Probably dead all things considered tho

Velcro:
she was def goin for the kill

You Get One Guess:
"My, oh, my! Brutally relentless, aren't we?"

Nick:
Nick scoops up the bag, and grabs Sanya's hand, holding both hands up in a victory pose!

Nick:
assuming he can lift a Joltik that is

Nick:
1.3 pounds dam that may require a check

Sanya:
Sanya doesn't fight you, but she's far from enthusiastic about this battle. She limply lets you raise her arm, and recalls Cassandra with her free hand. When Nick is done celebrating and lets her hand down, she turns to walk across the bridge

You Get One Guess:
"Oh? Where's she going, now? Don't you want your prize?"

Nick:
"Hey, hold on! He said- yeah, that!"

Nick:
"Alte, can't you do the..." Nick wildly gestures some vaguely remembered symbols.

Rayner:
"I feel like I shouldn't need to tell you this, but she can't hear your shouting."

Alte:
"Eh? What for? I mean, if she wants to leave, what should I stop her for?"

Alte:
also I'm across the street and her back is turned to me

Alte:
so

Alte:
liek

Alte:
the hell am I supposed to do

Nick:
Nick'll let her go, I guess. "Agh... it's fine. I think she's a bit in her head."

Nick:
"Whatever you wanted to give to her, I can pass it along."

You Get One Guess:
"Oh, well! That saves me a little trouble!"

You Get One Guess:
"Oh, no, no. With an attitude and contributions that poor, what does she deserve? That's how she feels, as well."

You Get One Guess:
"But, don't let that get you down! You did well, still. A bit of a braggart, but that's fine in moderation."

Nick:
"Hey, her thing looked like it had a hell of an impact when it... got knocked out. Oof."

You Get One Guess:
"I'll have to show my daughter a few new tricks...I don't think she was ready for some of the techniques I'd shown her."

Nick:
she has not mastered the art of the Assist

Alte:
"Putting the 'ass' in Assist, all right. And not in the way most girls would like to be."

Ally:
"Shut up! I'll get there! Eventually... I have to, if I'm ever gonna be a Gym Leader..."

Nick:
"You're shooting to be a gym leader? Good for you!"

Rayner:
"She's got a long way to go." Rayner hops down, nearly landing on Nick as the boy passes by

Nick:
ow shit

Rayner:
"Whoa! Sorry about that! Bad timing!"

Nick:
Nick hustles out the way. "Whoo, close call."

You Get One Guess:
"In any case! I did promise a reward, didn't I?"

Nick:
"And hey, don't worry about what I said earlier - I'll still help out. Just had a score to settle!"

You Get One Guess:
"Hm? Spend your time as you please, boy! It's no concern of mine. But, take this before you go where you may."

You Get One Guess:
He hands you a single TM, marked 'Shadow Clare', as well as 3500 yendollars to pay for his daughter's loss

Nick:
chroist almighty

You Get One Guess:
"And these, too. I'm not going to be there, and Rayner's already got his tickets."

Nick:
"Whoa, whoa whoa, what? The stakes were never that high, were they?"

Nick:
"This is way too much..."

You Get One Guess:
He gives you four tickets to something going on in Aparson City in (UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME). It's a tournament, apparently

Ally:
"Don't worry about it! Daddy's rich, he can afford that kind of...uh...What's the word..."

Alte:
"Pity?"

Ally:
"Uh...sure?"

Nick:
"Man, if you say so... what's this TM, though? Is that a typo? I know about Shadow Claw..."

You Get One Guess:
"I haven't the faintest idea why Dechtire gave me so many of these. It wouldn't be fair for me to compete."

You Get One Guess:
"Oh? Ahaha! Shadow Claw, no, no."

You Get One Guess:
"This is Shadow Clare. I invented it myself. Here, a demonstration..."

Nick:
(You can do that?)

Cliona:
Cliona floats up to the streetlight, her eyes pale and hollow. The lamp goes out, its light sucked into the fanciful ghost. Then, she shines in a flare of dire, pale light that washes over the street, tinging everything grey for a moment!

Cliona:
It looks...very familiar

Cliona:
When you pry your eye back open, it starts to click - the name, too. He did shout it, after all.

Cliona:
Rham used this attack

Nick:
...so he did.

Nick:
I remember this now.

Rayner:
"Cool, isn't it? He's got a lot of free time on his hands to come up with this stuff!"

Nick:
Nick shields his eyes from the darklight, processing a thing or two. "...hold up a second - you saidyou invented that move?"

Nick:
agh I missed a space

You Get One Guess:
"That I did. I have a habit of giving it away to folks I recognize! Perhaps you've met someone who's impressed me enough?"

Cliona:
"...shiiine."

Nick:
"Maybe I have." Nick bites his tongue, unsure of what to say. "Wasn't a Pokemon who used it, though..."

You Get One Guess:
"Ooh? Well, I only hand out TMs. I've never taught it personally. Hm, unless...there was one boy who had some quite unsual tricks up his sleeves. Even I hadn't ever seen them before.
Nick: (( I don't think I have a single 'mon who can learn/make use of this lel ))
Nick: (( I assume it's Special. ))
Eliza: (( it is ))
Nick: (( MAYBE Clamperl could learn it ))

You Get One Guess:
"Was the person who you saw a chipper fellow, good fashion sense?"
Nick: (( Dwight could but he's an attackyboy ))

Nick:
"Do I have to compliment the guy?"

You Get One Guess:
Move: Shadow Clare Type: Ghost Frequency: EOT AC: 2 Damage Base 9: 2d10+10 / 21 Class: Special Range: Cone 2 Effect: Shadow Clare lowers all legal targets' Accuracy by -1 on 16+. Contest Type: Smart Contest Effect: Unsettling Special: Grants Glow

You Get One Guess:
unless I ended up changing it somewhere down the line

Nick:
"He had purple hair. Smug as all hell... played the fiddle."

Nick:
"I guess you could call him chipper."

You Get One Guess:
"The fiddle? Hmm...Well, purple hair is right, but perhaps it isn't the same boy, after all. I saw no fiddle."

Nick:
was it not a fkn fiddle?

You Get One Guess:
that entire apparition was an illusion

Nick:
mip

You Get One Guess:
it was just Rham fuckin' around

You Get One Guess:
he couldn't actually GET to you

You Get One Guess:
he was just projecting an image

Nick:
a fiddle image

Nick:
"Maybe he learned."

Nick:
"I don't want to imagine TWO of these guys out there."

You Get One Guess:
"Oh, well! What does it matter? Others having this attack doesn't stop you from using it."

Nick:
"What'd he do to impress you, if you don't mind me asking?"

You Get One Guess:
"Well, the 'proper' answer would be that he defeated Cliona in battle. But, truly, it was his work with those bandits. My challenge was just an afterthought."

You Get One Guess:
"Hm, I did give him a stern talking-to on the merits of mercy, however!"

Nick:
"Not sure that lesson stuck, honestly."

Nick:
"But yeah, small world. Thanks." Nick gives him a quick two-fingered salute.

Nick:
"I'll put it to good use!"

You Get One Guess:
"Sure thing! Oh, and if you don't want those tickets - find them a nice home, will you? I've given so many out already...I don't know of anyone else to pawn them off on."

Nick:
"Aw, we're heading that way anyhow! I'll see if we can work it into the schedule."

Rayner:
"Haha...you'd better."

Rayner:
Rayner grins, the corners of his mouth etching out a scar of a smile similar to the kitty cat you just took out, "I missed my chance today, but I do want my rematch sometime, you know? Sabina, Iggy, Ally, and I are going to be there. Don't miss it."

Nick:
...I think I am hearing our neighbor snoring from 30 feet away behind a wall and a closed door

Rayner:
it's payback for YOUR snoring

Nick:
"You'll get it. Count on it."

Nick:
"You got lucky last time."

Rayner:
"Haha! Did I? Well! We'll see. My master might be impressed, but I'm harder to please." He seems a little bitter about something, but it passes quickly, "I'm sure we'll meet you there! But...I want you to fight me, not Iggy. It'll be hard to test your mettle if there's nothing left after that guy gets through with you."

Rayner:
"So just keep that in mind if we end up against each other, okay?"

Nick:
"What, the quiet guy? Is he really that much of a threat?"

Rayner:
"Oh, he's not dangerous or anything! Usually. But...this'll be a full-contact battle, you know? If you flip his switch, you're toast!"

Nick:
"Whatever he's got going on, my team can take it!"

Nick:
"...hold up, full-contact? Like - trainer combat?"

Rayner:
"I hope so!"

Rayner:
"But if yo ucan, sheesh. THEN I'll be impressed."

Rayner:
"Oh, yeah! People like you and me - we should hang back."

Rayner:
"All that fancy running around you were doing today... Well, that won't fly. You haven't been in too many real fights, have you?"

Rayner:
"People like us, we're weak. Can't defend ourselves like Iggy and Sabina."

Nick:
"Not... RECENTLY..."

Nick:
*nam flashbacks*

Rayner:
"We can't just go out on the front lines like that! Our whole worth is in our Pokemon! We're just useless bags of meat."

Rayner:
rham*

Nick:
Regani actually

Rayner:
"But we're important bags of meat! Our Pokemon aren't worth much without us, and that's our whole contribution."

Nick:
"I'll just keep the unimportant bags of meat in the way."

Nick:
"That's what they're there for!"

Rayner:
"That girlfriend of yours..." The bitterness is back, "Well, I don't blame her for bein' ticked off. She wears the pants in that relationship, right? She's the fighter. Seeing you go running out into the fray, when she can't...I can't imagine that'd make her appreciate her worth."

Nick:
"Man, how many times do I have to say she's not my girlfriend? I was just... keeping an eye on things."

Rayner:
"Hahaha...but you'd like her to be, right? Maybe I'm jumping the gun a little, but sometimes a twitchy trigger finger is necessary. Anyway, I got work to do! And people to find..."

Nick:
And XP to give out

Nick:
Nick def wud a Sanya but mostly just wants to get on her friendly side

Nick:
He wants to get some basic lessons from Alte tho

Alte:
just grab her tits most chicks understand that one
