<KamenWriter> You are slightly afraid to sleep, of course
<KamenWriter> But sleep comes eventually
<Viktor> (I presumably have my dream sequence with tessa at this point too, don't I)
<Viktor> (though lacking memory of it)
<KamenWriter> Oh, certainly
<KamenWriter> As you wander away from the strange girl, you can already feel the memory of her ebbing away slightly, hazy, like an actual dream
<KamenWriter> Which is odd, because as far as you know you were still dreaming.
 Viktor likes that strange girl.
<KamenWriter> It is only when you notice the darkness filling the sky that you realize that something is quite wrong.
<Viktor> "Uh oh."
<KamenWriter> Your pokemon suddenly pop awake too, somehow more "Real" than they were when you fought Teresa
<KamenWriter> (Those were dream pokemon. These are your real deals :B)
<KamenWriter> The black seems to drip down from where the sun used to be, covering the sky in blots and blotches.
<KamenWriter> The area is very quickly dyed black.
<Viktor> "Looks like this is it."
<KamenWriter> and before you know it you are transported to the distortion world.
<KamenWriter> It is pitch dark, and you can only see yourself and your pokemon
<Viktor> "... come on out then. I wish to speak with you before our final confrontation."
<KamenWriter> They appear to be illuminated by nothing. They just are, standing out against the black backdrop of the Distortion world.
<KamenWriter> <Of course. It's wonderful to see you again.>
<Viktor> "There's another condition I'd like to ask."
<KamenWriter> Pandora gives a kurt little nod as the pokemon speaks, but doesn't bound up to greet Giratina like a puppy
<Viktor> "If I should lose this fight... I'd like one more thing."
<KamenWriter> <Of course. You are certainly allowed to set the conditions of the deal at any step in the process.>
<KamenWriter> <What should we decide to wager your soul against i this contest?>
<Viktor> "I wish that our line... the bloodline of the Faust family, take upon the duty of hunting down the Damascus family."
<Viktor> "To chase after them, and thwart their designs at any cost."
 Anise ([email protected]) has joined #DistortionWorld
<KamenWriter> You see Business suit-faust appear before you, holding the briefcase
<KamenWriter> *You see Business suit-giratina
<KamenWriter> Sorry :B
<KamenWriter> "Admirable. You feel this family is nothing but trouble."
<KamenWriter> "And is there anything else you would like? Last chance, before I'm afraid we must begin."
<Viktor> "Yes. Perhaps it will ensure that this curse does good in this world."
<Viktor> "If this really is my last chance..."
<Viktor> "Then I have one more request."
<KamenWriter> "Well, I suppose you could change your mind mid-battle, but I fear you may be busy then."
<Viktor> "Charlotte's heart."
<KamenWriter> "And thinking of proposals will take your mind off of things terribly."
<Viktor> "It's off the table."
<KamenWriter> "Oh? Yes?"
<KamenWriter> "Agreed. And does this mean the other things we discussed before ARE on the table currently?"
<Viktor> "Yes, that seems suitable."
<KamenWriter> "Agreed then. Knowledge of the world, a portion of my power, and a legacy."
<KamenWriter> "You gain all this, And I get your soul... UNLESS you can defeat me."
<Viktor> "More than a fair deal."
 Viktor begins to draw slips of paper and puts on a fingerless glove with a symbol etched onto the palm in preparation.
<KamenWriter> "Alright then, let us bein.>
<KamenWriter> As he speaks, the form of the lawyer appears to melt away
<Viktor> "Hilda. Pandora. We'll start with you two."
<Viktor> "Spread out a bit. Don't get too close to eachother."
<KamenWriter> http://i.neoseeker.com/mgv/351795-Superboop/795/24/giratina_origin_display.png
<KamenWriter> The monster he forms into is like a huge flying serpent with black skeletal wings, glowing red against the black background of the Distortion world.
<KamenWriter> <Another generation, another Faust. How will it turn out this time?>
 Viktor grins, "Let's find out!"
<KamenWriter> Dex and speeds
<Viktor> 12, 7 hilda, 2 pandora
<Anise> (oh god we don't get to help? ;_;)
<KamenWriter> (:B He's having a few turns alone before you get the chance to come to his aid :3)
<Viktor> (it takes a while for you to notice I'm in trouble, get the others, and drink the potion)
<Anise> (oh okay)
<Anise> (I was worried ;_;)
* KamenWriter has changed the topic to: Viktor, Distortion World | Giratina, Hilda, Pandora
 Viktor flings a talisman towards hilda, sticking it to her. "Armament of Shadows!" he says as Hilda takes on a more ghostly form.
<Viktor> (turn end)
<KamenWriter> <Ah, a wonderful technique. Now she and her brother may appreciate my power even more.>
<KamenWriter> <It is however not just I you must face.>
<KamenWriter> <Rather, you are now in my lair.>
<Viktor> "What do you mean by that?"
<KamenWriter> As he speaks, the whole world seems to shift around you.
<KamenWriter> You find yourself in your study back in Germany.
<KamenWriter> Except, proportionally, you and your pokemon are the size of insects.
<KamenWriter> While the world around you is huge to your eyes.
<KamenWriter> <I control everything here.>
<Anise> (oh man this will be the best boss fight ever)
<KamenWriter> You see Giratina on top of the giant chair, about as big proportionally as a person would be while sitting in it.
<KamenWriter> 1d20 Distortion roll
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, Distortion roll: 15 [1d20=15]
<KamenWriter> <And at my whims...> The floor begins to bend with you standing atop it.
<KamenWriter> Until the walls melt away and you can see forever over a "Horizon" of wooden planks.
<KamenWriter> The terrain is now on a sphere.
<KamenWriter> With the two chairs, a table, and a roaring fireplace places upon it.
<KamenWriter> <The world bends.>
<Viktor> (best boss fight ever)
<Viktor> (calling it now)
<KamenWriter> 1d20 He begins by seeming to teleport next to Hilda, slashing at her with a claw
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, He begins by seeming to teleport next to Hilda, slashing at her with a claw: 2 [1d20=2]
<KamenWriter> AC2
<Viktor> miss
<KamenWriter> And with his OTHER action
<KamenWriter> 1d20 Fires an Ancietpower at Pandora.
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, Fires an Ancietpower at Pandora.: 6 [1d20=6]
<Viktor> also a miss
<KamenWriter> Ac2 okay
<Viktor> "We can do this, Hilda. I'm counting on you. Now Focus!"
<Viktor> Charging up focus punch...
<Viktor> "Pandora! Ominous Wind! Catch Hilda with it too!"
<Viktor> 1d20
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, 1d20: 14 [1d20=14]
<KamenWriter> Hits :B
<Viktor> 1d10+15+13+4+24 ghost damage
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, ghost damage: 63 [1d10=7]
 Viktor clenches his gloved hand. "Even if it's just for a moment... I remembered a spell from that journal. One that should let me take the reins of this dimension!
<KamenWriter> One sec
<KamenWriter> (New Excel sheet is giving me problems.
<KamenWriter> (What a time to have to convert to 1.26 :I)
<KamenWriter> (O. continue)
 Viktor plunges his fingers into the very fabric of the dimension and pulls hard, trying to twist it to his whims, if only for a brief instant...
<Viktor> Hey guys, watch this! Trick Room!
<KamenWriter> (Oh-ho)
<Viktor> "Just... for this one attack... come on!"
* KamenWriter has changed the topic to: Viktor, Distortion World | Pandora, Hilda, Giratina
<KamenWriter> The Distortion world bends
<KamenWriter> 1d20
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, 1d20: 18 [1d20=18]
<Viktor> (craaap)
<KamenWriter> 1d4
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, 1d4: 3 [1d4=3]
<KamenWriter> The sphere begins to spin east like a treadmill
<KamenWriter> Giratina does not move, and floating pokemon are uneffected
<KamenWriter> How much movement does Hilda have?
<KamenWriter> Overland
<Viktor> (10 I think)
<Mons> (she's a kangaroo. can't she hop)
<KamenWriter> Okay. It's a bit of a jog, but with some effort she can still keep up
<Viktor> (oh yeah they have amazing jump)
<Viktor> "NOW!"
<Viktor> Ghost Shifted Focus punch!
<Viktor> Together!
<Viktor> Shadow Ball!
<Viktor> Give it your all!
<Mons> (uh)
<Mons> (hate to burst your bubble)
<Mons> (shadow ball is special and focus punch is physical.)
<Viktor> (who says you can't mix them)
<Viktor> (I've mixed them before)
<Mons> (the feature)
<Viktor> (what)
<Mons> (and what the fuck defense does it target)
<Viktor> (when did that get put in)
<Mons> (since WHAT DEFENSE IS IT SUPPOSED TO TARGET)
<Viktor> (they're equal, aren't they?!)
<Mons> (well in THIS case sure)
<Mons> (But normally)
<KamenWriter> (Mons is right)
<KamenWriter> (Actually :<)
<KamenWriter> (Sorry)
<Mons> (i dunno kamen, they're equal here)
<Mons> (it shouldn't matter)
<Mons> (just this once, but... keep in mind. what did you expect to happen DL)
<Viktor> (the same thing that happened last time I did it)
<Viktor> (which was... I don't know, but it worked!)
<KamenWriter> (You mean when you broke the ball?)
<Viktor> (no that was a double shadow ball)
<KamenWriter> (Ah)
<Viktor> (I've mixed faint attack and shadow ball before though I think.)
<KamenWriter> (Oh. huh)
<Viktor> (also)
<Mons> (you couldn't have because faint attack is...)
<Viktor> (No no)
<KamenWriter> (Well I must not have thought about it then)
<Viktor> (what I did was I mixed dream eater and shadow sneak)
<Viktor> (remember? here comes the nightmare train woo woo)
<Mons> (oh, i remember seeing that.)
<KamenWriter> (Ah)
<Viktor> (anyway so it can work this one time?)
<Viktor> (but I promise I won't do it again in the future?)
<Mons> (i'd say so because it's giratina, they're equal)
<Mons> (but otherwise makesnosense)
<KamenWriter> Hmmm
<KamenWriter> 1d100 how generous should I be DM?
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, how generous should I be DM?: 81 [1d100=81]
<Mons> (i mean, he used a GIYA)
<Viktor> (; ;)
<Viktor> (I did use a GIYA)
<Viktor> (my last one)
<Mons> (also dicey is making a :I face at you kamen)
<Anise> (pwease kamen ;_;)
<KamenWriter> Dicemaid has spoken. Sorry. nope
<Viktor> (can I prob control dicemaid :<)
<Mons> (man i pointed this out and I think you should :<)
<Anise> (or let him take his move back at least)
<Mons> (well yeah there's that, he COULD reselect)
<KamenWriter> Well of course he can take back his move
<KamenWriter> I'm not THAT much of a dick
<KamenWriter> Hilda still has to focus punch though, of course
<Viktor> (all right all right)
<Viktor> (okay)
<Viktor> Combine them
<Viktor> Faint Attack + Focus punch
<Viktor> ghost shift resulting move
<KamenWriter> Alright, roll it then.
<KamenWriter> Since "Cannot Miss" can't be combined in. It would retain Focus Punch's AC I believe
<Mons> (hold on here)
<Viktor> (I thought that got patched out this version)
<Mons> (if i lawyered one way i can lawyer the other)
<Mons> (the way it's worded, it could be that you can't combine nomiss+ohko)
<Mons> (and anyway yeah, even if it IS that way, it's being removed)
<KamenWriter> (It's still there in my book)
<Mons> (so if something like evasion cap is in for you, then this should be too)
<Viktor> 5d12+25+17+4+12+1d10+10+16+4+24
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, 5d12+25+17+4+12+1d10+10+16+4+24: 144 [5d12=10,1,7,1,12; 1d10=1]
<KamenWriter> (Nope. I have evasion cap, AND it says "Nomiss isn't added to the resultant move")
<Mons> (I mean the up to 6 evasion natural, total cap 9)
<Viktor> 1d20 it is getting changed but whatever
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, it is getting changed but whatever: 19 [1d20=19]
<KamenWriter> So roll accuracy, and I'm going on record as saying Nomiss moves should still be illegal with combine them, :I)
<Mons> (why kamen)
<KamenWriter> Because adding no miss to ridiculous, high damage moves seems a little broken to me
<KamenWriter> This situation is one I would cite
<Mons> (It's no different than adding together two AC2 high-damage moves and having even MORE high damage)
<Viktor> it's ac 2 anyway.
<Mons> (like thunderbolt+flamethrower)
<KamenWriter> 114 damage basically for free seems a little leaningawayfromkeyboard to me.
<Mons> (only has a small chance of missing and deals way more damage)
<Viktor> (can we save debate club for later)
<KamenWriter> Yeah, but you still have to roll at least the AC.
<Viktor> I did.
<Viktor> it was a 19.
<KamenWriter> (Also yeah, 114 damage. GG :B)
<Viktor> can I push it into its chair too
<Viktor> has 10 meter push effect and deals push damage.
<KamenWriter> Sure
<KamenWriter> He's pushed into the chair
<Viktor> 2d12 extra push damage then
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, extra push damage then: 7 [2d12=2,5]
<KamenWriter> Okay then
<KamenWriter> The massive attack seems to push Giratina back
<KamenWriter> And the chair topples.
<KamenWriter> Well. Well done. Well done.
<Viktor> "I wonder. If that spell I found was from you... or made to fight you."
<KamenWriter> <Perhaps. If you lose you shall certainly know for sure.>
<KamenWriter> Shooooop
<KamenWriter> For his first attack, Giratina rushes towards Hilda and.
<KamenWriter> 1d20 Earth Power!
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, Earth Power!: 19 [1d20=19]
<KamenWriter> Special defense lowered.
<KamenWriter> And since Pandora and Hilda were both in melee
<KamenWriter> It actually hits them both, because blast
<Viktor> (that is bad.)
<Viktor> (anyway damage?)
<KamenWriter> 3d10+15+42 SDEF
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, SDEF: 65 [3d10=1,3,4]
<KamenWriter> SDEF lowered for both
<KamenWriter> And with his second attack.
<Viktor> both of them remain up, and return to their default sdef values.
<KamenWriter> He simply vanishes.
<KamenWriter> Whoosh
<KamenWriter> <The age old question. How can you fight something that you cannot see?>
<KamenWriter> Second turn of Trick room
<KamenWriter> Viktor's go
<Viktor> "That shall do, pandora. Go, werfen!"
<KamenWriter> Any other actions?
<KamenWriter> 1d20 if not the Distortion world bends
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, if not the Distortion world bends: 8 [1d20=8]
 Viktor chugs a potion, sure.
<Viktor> 1d10+10
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, 1d10+10: 20 [1d10=10]
<Mons> (oh wow move shift is FA now)
<Viktor> healing 20 of the 30 hp lost for trick room.
<Mons> (he listened this is awesome.)
<KamenWriter> Who doesn't have a fly speed?
<Viktor> neither of them do.
<KamenWriter> Okay.
<KamenWriter> Viktor, you suddenly have the strangest feeling.
<Viktor> werfen is speed 5
<KamenWriter> You are falling
<KamenWriter> But you're falling sideways, to your right.
<KamenWriter> Gravity is now aligned to the right
 Viktor tries to see if they can land on one of the giant chairs
* KamenWriter has changed the topic to: Viktor, Distortion | Werfen, Hilda, Giratina. 2nd turn of trick room
<KamenWriter> Dexterity to grab onto one of the massive chair or table legs as you fall
<Viktor> 1d20+1 can hilda and werfen grab on too?
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, can hilda and werfen grab on too?: 11 [1d20=10]
<KamenWriter> 1d100;1d100 let's see
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, 1d100: 55 [1d100=55]; let's see: 39 [1d100=39]
<KamenWriter> Right in the middle, dicemaid? :I
<KamenWriter> 1d100 rerolling for Hilda Give me one way or the other
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, rerolling for Hilda Give me one way or the other: 59 [1d100=59]
<KamenWriter> 1d100 rerolling for Hilda Give me one way or the other
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, rerolling for Hilda Give me one way or the other: 91 [1d100=91]
<KamenWriter> Ok
<KamenWriter> Werfen catches hold of the table.
 Viktor notices hilda failing to grab on, "Wait! Keep falling werfen!"
<KamenWriter> But Hilda finds herself orbiting the little planet of Giratina's creation
<KamenWriter> Werfen, having nothing particularly to punch, decides to follow your directions and fall
<Viktor> Werfen's turn?
<KamenWriter> But neither of them have a sky speed, so there's nothing much they can do in the air
<KamenWriter> YEs
<Viktor> "Werfen! Grab hold of hilda and throw her up here!"
<KamenWriter> Okay.
<KamenWriter> He catches up with Hilda and grabs hold to throw her up towards the table
<KamenWriter> His Power is probably pretty huge, right? So he can probably throw pretty well.
<Viktor> (he can throw 60 meters.)
<KamenWriter> Ah, okay then
<KamenWriter> She is easily thrown up towards you and is able to grab hold of the table
<KamenWriter> Hilda's turn. Werfen is orbiting the Study-planet
<Viktor> "You ask how you can fight what you can't see? Sight is but a persistent illusion!"
<Viktor> "Hilda, wait for it." (delaying until end of round)
<KamenWriter> Okay.
<KamenWriter> Not sure what you're doing, but that's fine
<KamenWriter> While Hilda waits on the table, Giratina suddenly reappears... next to Werfen in midair
<KamenWriter> 1d20 Shadow Force
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, Shadow Force: 16 [1d20=16]
 Viktor did not think his cunning plan all the way through.
<KamenWriter> 5d12+20+20+31 POW
<DiceMaid-9001> KamenWriter, POW: 95 [5d12=5,6,3,2,8]
<Viktor> 1d20 shadow sneak interrupt and mold breaker!
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, shadow sneak interrupt and mold breaker!: 10 [1d20=10]
<Viktor> what are his abilities?
<KamenWriter> Pressure and levitate
<Viktor> taking away levitate.
<KamenWriter> For now... :3
<KamenWriter> Ok
<KamenWriter> Roll the shadow sneak
<KamenWriter> It's from Werfen, right?
<Viktor> 2d6+31+4+24
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, 2d6+31+4+24: 63 [2d6=3,1]
<Viktor> yes.
<KamenWriter> And after the strike, Werfen takes the Shadow Force damage
<Viktor> Werfen is knocked out cold in a single strike
<KamenWriter> 95. physical. SE
<KamenWriter> And for his second attack.
<KamenWriter> He simply uses odor sleuth on Hilda  >:3
 DiceMaid-9001 is already in the car
<Viktor> (so that was... 3 rounds. do we want to keep going?)
<KamenWriter> <Lovely, when you've met so many with mastery over TMs who are simply dying to gain more power.>
<Viktor> (oh wait)
<Viktor> (I didn't attack yet)
<Viktor> 1d20 BITE.
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, BITE.: 14 [1d20=14]
<Viktor> (so close to flinch)
<KamenWriter> (Well, up to you. I KO'd one pokemon, and you're literally hanging by a table leg)
<KamenWriter> (This might be a good cliffhanger :3)
<Viktor> 1d10+5+17+4
<DiceMaid-9001> Viktor, 1d10+5+17+4: 27 [1d10=1]
<KamenWriter> Also, roll damage
<KamenWriter> Cool 2 damage bro
<Viktor> (I was hoping for the flinch :3c)
<KamenWriter> <I do hope you plan to put on a better show than this.>
<Viktor> "Hehehe..."
<Viktor> "Oh it's just getting started."
<Viktor> "We haven't even gotten to the twist."
