Pokemon Tabletop RPG - It's Aliiiive!

Marc gets all excited at seeing pokemon, then Owei moves down one, left two, and makes a Reflect wall just in front of Sturm.

(oh and dibs on that Grimer)

Sturm draws his sword, and Sleipnir flares up like a cat arching its back as they follow the group.

(You want us to fight through an army of ghosts for a Grimer?)

Everybody finishes their scan. The Gastly still has 21 HP.

Tori recalls Molly and sends out Natalie, who will hopefully be less incompetent.

Sturm readies his sword.

Bastion initiates a silly face competition, as it seems to be what the Gastly is after.
1d20=9
Kind of silly, will the Gastly be able to measure up?

Pokemans
The Gastlies shuffle themselves closer to the group.

Gastly 1 makes a face that probably is not as silly as he thinks it is.
1d20=6
Bastion wins round one! The Gastly is ready for round 2!

Gastly 2 is undettered from the attack, even if his challenger has changed, and Licked Natalie!
Damage: (1d6+3+2+4-6)/2=4
Some points of 3 lost! It's not very effective...

Gastly 3 used Mean Look on Riff, and Gastly 9 did the same on Sleipnir! Neither of them can flee!

Owei used Reflect! A wall was created.
Duration: 1d4+1=2
It will remain for 2 turns.

Hrothgar used Defense Curl!
His defense was raised 1 stage.

Sleipnir moves right two spaces and uses Ember on Gastly 9. Sturm moves down 1, right 1, down 2 and left 1.

"Natalie! Use pursuit!'

Hrothgar moves forward and uses SING on ghastly's 5 as high as it goes without hitting his friends.

BASTION IS PLAYING FOR KEEPS
HE WILL BE VICTORIOUS IN THE BATTLE OF THE FACES
ROAR

"That's... not great."

Clifton glances over at Bastion, then back at the mean-lookin' gastly, and decides to fight face with face. He puts on the GOOFIEST GODDAMN FACE HE CAN MANAGE, moves two spaces up, and looks Gastly 3 STRAIGHT IN THE EYE.

Raphael moves one east, trying to shield Gabby.

"Gabby! Use *ulp* Double Team! M-maybe if they can't hit you, you'll be s-safe..." o_o

Owei runs the fuck away.

right two, up one.

Sturm moves around and because the PCs are in a different layer than the gastlies and trees, does not get to show up behind them. He is not actually climbing a tree. Yet.

BASTION SNEEZES and it sort of messes up his attempt.
1d20=1
Unfortunate.

Clifton makes an attempt to initiate another Silly Face Competition with Gastly 3, but will it even go for it?
DC15: 1d20+2=16
The Gastly tries to resist the temptation, but can not deny the contest's siren call.

OKAY POKEMANS
First thing's first, Natalie fucks up a Gastly. I guess I should roll to determine how much.
AC2: 1d20=19
Damage: (1d8+4+11-4)*2(SUPER EFFECTIVE)=36
...yeah. Gastly 2 is down for the count.

Natalie and Molly each gain 68 EXP.

Hrothgar gains 162 EXP.

Everybody else gains 135 EXP.

Sleipnir spat fire through the magical wall!
AC3: 1d20=11
Damage: 1d12+6+9-6=20
Gastly 9 took a lot of damage!

Gastly 1 laughs and doesn't even put a lot of effort into his next face.
1d20=7
It's merely passable, but still superior!
THE FINAL ROUND AWAITS! WHO WILL BE VICTORIOUS IN THE WAY OF FUNNY FACES?

Gastly 3 gives his go.
DC 14: 1d20=13
It's a fairly goofy face, but Clifton reigns supreme. Distraught, it begins to take its leave.

Gastlies 4 through 8 are just watching for now, although 5 does edge a bit closer.

Gastly 9 tries to Lick at Owei, through the wall.
Damage: (1d6+3+3-9)*2=4
Owei took 4 damage.

Gabby used some Double Team! Three more Gabbys appeared, BUT WHICH IS THE REAL ONE?

(It's B. You all aren't really against Gabby so I don't have any issues with telling you such a thing)

(Don't tell the Gastlies)

Owei did some fleeing, but Sleipnir was in the way of his destination.

Hrothgar moves to a place that is least likely to make allies fall asleep and used Sing!
AC11: 1d20= 16
Gastlies 5, 6, 9, and 7, have fallen asleep.

Tori fistpumps; jabs a finger in Gastly 4's direction.

"Great! Now Peck that one!"

She also hiffs a Premier Ball at Gastly 9.

Sleipnir moves right 1, down 5 and left 6, and uses Ember on Gastly 8.

Sturm punches trees.

Clifton switches Riff for Calloway, then basically just stands around being incredibly smug.

Calloway growls or something.

Raphael boggles at the multiple Gabbies. She suddenly imagines one of them saying, "Is this not...simpler? Is this not your natural state?"

And then she shakes herself out of her reverie, and manages to stammer out a pile of orders.

1. Gabby D moves three south.
2. Gabby C moves two south, two east.
3. Gabby A moves one north, one east.
4. Gabby B moves two south, and uses Confusion on Gastly 5.

AND WITH THAT

Raphael moves one west and lobs a Great Ball at Gastly 5! Because stuff and whatnot and also that capture specialist static ability woo

Oh. Well. Marc moves right once and down as much as he can. Owei moves down as well.

Also if Owei is in range of the bottommost Gastly, he uses Hypnosis.

Oh and Walking Encyclopedia, please. On Gastly, obvs.

All hail Ƌείκοσι, the random number god.

Bastion gives it his all...
1d20=19

The tree falls right over!


Clifton tries to swap pokemon! But when he tries, Riff just shudders a bit. She's still suffering from the effects of Mean Look!


Raphael threw a Great Ball at one of the sleeping Gastlies!
Wiggle wiggle-
CapCheck 56: 1d100= 93
Crack!
The Pokemon escapes, and the Great Ball lies broken on the ground. Dang.

Marc moves around a bit and does a scan on Gastly 8, which is a bit silly, because he already did so earlier. HP is still 21 since it hasn't taken any damage. He still has all the same information he did before, available in the Pokedex. Ghost/Poison type, weak against ghost, psychic, dark, immune to normal, fighting, resistant to poison, bug, grass, same as before.

Bastion has won the silly face competition!

The Gastly acknowledges your talent. It's decided to stick around help you for a bit!
Gastly has joined as an Ally!

An Ally Pokemon can not be ordered around, but will help on its own. It'll stick with your party until it decides to leave, or if it takes enough of a liking to you to volunteer to be caught.

Gastly 3 escaped!

Gastly 4 wasn't really going to fight, but if you insist...
It used Spite!
Natalie's Peck was reduced to EOT Frequency!

None of the sleeping Gastlies woke up.

Gastly 8 wasn't really going to fight... well okay it was totally going to.
It Licked Sleipnir!
Damage: 1d6+2+6-8=5
Sleipnir took 5 damage -- And was paralyzed!

The Gabbys shuffle around and one uses Confusion!

Bastion motions to give Gastly a high five or a hand shake before realizing that it has nothing that lets that work or make sense and instead gives him a thumbs up :>

Hrothgar moves down one spot to be above Gastly 6 uses DEFENSE CURL even though it is almost totally useless.

Bastion also moves down next to Hrothgar and beats up Gastly 6.

Sleipnir moves 3 left and uses Ember on the Grimer.

Sturm wails on Gastly 8 with his axe.

Yay everybody's sleeping.

Wait, do I even have a spare pokeball with me?

EDIT revision again:

Owei goes right one and down one and stays close to Marc, ready to defend him. Marc just keeps taking pictures of the climatic battle.

EDIT whoops again:

Also Marc is stricken with a wayward thought: "man I wish I had some berries"

Unsure of what to do with this urge, Marc searches the surrounding area and the nearby tree for berries.

Tori is way too caught up in the power trip from having a ghost-slaying attack bird to question the ethical quandary of a Pokemon that is also apparently a dead person. She also calls it Gyps.

"Natalie! Pursuit!"

Tori then notices a Something through the trees and thinks to scan it with her Pokedex.

Molly levels up, point to speed.

Also he has Riff go three spaces down and one space left, and Struggle Bug Gastly #6.

Raphael stares at the broken ball on the ground. Such a failure, it's saying to her. A Capture Specialist who can't catch anything.

"N-no! No!"

Gabby B moves three east.
Gabby C moves one east.
Gabby D moves one west and one north.
Gabby A moves five west, and uses Confusion on Gastly 7.

Raphael, in a fit of pique and general air of desperately wanting to prove her worth, steps five west and throws a Premier Ball at Gastly 6.

Gastly 6 gets punched for 6 damage.

Sturm Axed a ghost!
AC5: 1d20=18

Gastly 8 gets axed for 11 damage, and faints!


Marc searches the nearest tree for berries
1d20=6
But there's nothing on it.


Tori starts scanning whatever is beyond the trees. Two turns.


Clifton heads down to the space where Bastion is, but Bastion is in the way. Bastion has an extra space to shift anyways so moves down one, kindly enough. Clifton then inserts a knife into a gaseous blob.
AC5: 1d20=7
Damage: 1d8+4+3-4=11
Gastly 6 takes 11 Knife type damage.


Raphael used Premier Ball!
WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE
CapCheck71: 1d100=72
Um. Wow. ...yeah.
...yeah.
It isn't caught.


...POKEMONS

Natalie used Pursuit!
AC2: 3
Damage: (1d12+6+11-4)*2=36
The Gastly is hit hard. Really, really hard. Before you know it, it's sort of dissolving into a fine mist.
Gastly 4 has Died.

This still nets everybody experience.

Okay, Bastion is kind of in the way, but that's okay, Riff is pretty sure she can Struggle Bug around him.

AC3: 1d20=9
Damage: 1d10+4+6=11
Nope. Bastion takes 11 damage!
The Gastly however.
Damage: (11-11)/4=1
If only those damages could be swapped around, eh?
...yeah.


Now as it so happens, Gastly * wasn't actually looking in Natalie's direction during that last thing, so it's still none the wiser. It did watch all the rigamarole with Gastly 6, though, and isn't particularly impressed with your battling, so decides you need his expertise.
It used Lick!
AC2: 18
Damage: (1d6+3+6-4)*2=14
Gastly 6 fainted!


Gastly 7 woke up!


A Gabby used Confusion!
AC3: 12
It's Super Effective: (2d8+8-6)*2=26

Sleipnir is paralyzed!
Paralysis Check 6: 1d20= 19

Damage: 1d12+6+9-6=18
The slimy thing took 18 damage, and promptly wakes up! It looks a bit miffed that you interrupted its slumber! The fireball probably didn't help, either.

It retaliated quickly with Poison Gas.
Sleipnir was Poisoned!


Hrothgar used Defense Curl! The usual happens.


Natalie and Molly each gain 272 EXP.

Hrothgar gains 648 EXP.

Everybody else gains 540 EXP.
