* October wants to climb a tree!
Life: (( Athletics skill check. DC provided by Mike. ))
Avara: 	« 2d6 = 5 »
Mike: 	I believe that's allowable. If we don't have specific DCs for it, uh... let's say 8. These are pretty standard trees, perfectly climbable, but it's not a rope ladder or anything.
* October falls on her back, and gets back up.
Mike: 	Sooo no dice there, sorry.
Life has received initiative.
Melinda King has received initiative.

	October: 	October loses 38 hit points.
Avara: 	roll injuries
Mike: 	« d6 = 5 »
Mike: 	« d6 = 1 »
Mike: 	So that's ATK, and SPD I believe.
Life: (( SPD = Speed, but yes. ))
Mike: 	* The hit slams into Kirlia's arm, and you can feel your ankle twist under the blow... But you're still up. Resolve that Psychic!
Avara: 	confusion*
Life: (( Is hit! ))
Avara: 	« 2d6+10+13 = 8 + 10 + 13 = 31 » psychic special damage

Life: (( Nope! ))
Life: (( recover 13 HP ))
	October: 	October is healed and gains 13 hit points.
Mike: 	Which I believe will also end up with undoing those two injuries.

Avara: 	that hit was a Priority
Mike: 	Actually... Not by my reading of Priority. I looked it up.
Mike: 	Unless she has something that says otherwise.
Avara: 	oh?
Life: (( Yeah, it just makes Life take her turn sooner ))
Mike: 	Lemme c/py.
Avara: 	ok
Life: (( October's turn. ))
Mike: 	Priority: If the user has not already acted this turn, a Move with the Priority keyword may be declared to act immediately; the user takes their full turn, ignoring initiative. This counts as their turn for the round. If a priority Move is declared during someone else's turn, the target that was interrupted may continue their turn when the user that used the Priority Move has completed theirs. They may choose new targets for their actions if their previous actions have been invalidated by the Priority Move.
Avara: 	*hugs*
Mike: 	Long story short, yeah, she can just say "nope my turn now!" and it is. But she still just gets one turn per round.

Avara: 	... sorry. still used to PTA. >>
Life: (( It's 'kay. ))
* October is hit regardless!
	Life: 	« 3d12+10+16 = 20 + 10 + 16 = 46 » Electric Physical Damage!

Valentina has received initiative.
* Valentina sighs, shaking her head. "I forfeit. Neither of my other two pokemon can hit a ghost."
	Melinda King: 	"Oh really? Perhaps you should invest in some TMs. There's a few cheap ones that offer that flexibility."
* Valentina recalls October.
* Melinda King places her hands on her hips and looks up.
	Valentina: 	"I'm out of money."
	Melinda King: 	"I hope you learned something from battling against Life. She's unforgiving when she gets into it."
	Valentina: 	"I'm not actually a combat specialist--I venture into battle now and again, but if you want to face me at my best, you'll need to sign up for the Contests here."
	Melinda King: 	"But I must admit your Ma-chop was quite sinister. I am ashamed I couldn't seek out vengeance upon it, rightfully."
* Melinda King rubs her chin thoughtfully.
	Melinda King: 	"A Contest...hm? I just may...I'll need to lure that Lauren' gal in first for it to be bitter sweet..."
Mike: 	* You can hear the announcer call Melinda King the victor of hte match, and happy noises of victory play, with people clapping... but it's all background noise now.
