Just months ago, a group of four once unfamiliar Pokémon trainers
banded together for safety and companionship, trapped in the
lockdown Hoen region trying to return to their families.
Now they face down a violent creature from another world who
threatens their chances of ever going home again.
Schmidt, Elodie, Gimley, and Cindy are the Quacko Paco, and
this is Dunsparce and Drampa. Last time on Dunsparce and
Drampa, the Quacko Paco bore witness to a climactic
interruption of The Dragon, its final Millennium Festival.
Shortly after it was determined that Schmidt is not only son to
Faulkner, a Joto Region flying type gym leader, but also
grandson to Walker, a Draconard Elder.
But additionally, Schmidt has been revealed to be the last
known surviving Lorekeeper after Zinnias disappearance,
Lorekeeper being a role that is sacred to the Dragonids as a
steward of their legacy and the rare individuals to be
recognized as ambassadors to the legendary Pokémon and Draconic
guardian of Hoen Ray Quasa. Schmidt interacted with the
Dragon artifact, the Keeper Gem, and soon thereafter a meteor
struck Draconid Village, obliterating the home of the
Dragonids and sending smoke and supersonic smithereens in every
direction, 1 Shard of which dealt likely mortal damage to
the Quacko Packo Companion Symetra.
Symetra's mysterious gifted Pokeball released itself, being
revealed to be a powerful Alakazam named Cause, riddled
with contusions and scars around his body.
Cause teleported the gravely injured Sam to an unknown
location after warning the residents of Draconian Village
of impending death and despair. An ancient alien enemy of Hoen
emerged from the remains of the meteor from a mysterious pitch
black triangle. A humanoid creature with a
soulless gaze, writhing tentacle arms, and impossibly fast
movement. The emergence of the terrifying
creature prompts battle poses from the dragon and elders and
some of the visiting trainers, while many of those trainers
begin to flee in panic. Cindy, Gimley, Elodie and
Schmidt, what are you going to do?
Shit dude, everything that just happened just happened.
Yeah. Shit, dude, I don't know.
Right. It's so funny because like I
feel like we had like a month to process what?
Did we think? And we still have.
It and it's like. OK, alpha solely.
Just alpha solely, right? They're like, OK, here we go.
I'm gonna touch a stone. Yeah, I think it's a if.
If. If the elders are getting in
battle position, I think Schmidt will follow.
Suit. Yeah, I think I will also.
Follow. Yeah, definitely.
Cindy, are you telling a joke or are you legitimately trying to
do the thing with the Atlas stone?
I will at minimum attempt to do the thing with the Atlas stone.
OK, you may prepare that action so that it goes off Florida
State when your turn actually begins, but now it is time to
roll initiative. The physical boys. 18 OK. 12. 17
and. That's with your dex mods.
Oh shit, dex mod. My dex mod of 0, absolutely.
Yeah, perfect. I would like to take this moment
before any combat starts just to do 2 things.
I want you all to review your inventory, make sure you know
what you have, and also make sure you know which 4 captured
Pokémon you have with you. And you've, if you have any
Pokémon that are uncaptured, also track that in your head or
write it down. It doesn't have to be in your
head. Yeah, please just be aware of
all of that. A couple things about this
initiative. It was probably going to hit
initiative no matter what. I just want to see what was on
your guys's mind. Classic DND has things called a
challenge rating, where you have a monster block and like, it
gives you a number that's supposed to represent how strong
a party of four should be to tackle this.
I don't really have that. But the challenge ratings are
also used descriptively, like they're like easy, medium, hard,
challenging, etcetera. I would rank this encounter as
deadly. OK, so please process your
actions with that in mind. It is rare that a creature that
comes from space challenges at least like 13 trainers at once,
so just set in the scene. I don't want you to be caught
off guard. One more thing, one more thing.
Sorry, one more thing. We've had a couple boss battles
before and you are all familiar. And within DND in general,
there's something called legendary actions.
I've been doing them kind of wrong, so this will be me
testing them out properly. How they're supposed to work is
one. Well really this is the whole
thing that I was messing up. There's like this inventory of
them and you can only use each type of them once and they can
only be used as reactions on not the bosses turn, so that's the
only time legendary things happen.
Oh yeah, cuz sometimes they were just like, happening.
Yeah, I was kind of just doing them and I still think it worked
out, but I had the preconception for this encounter to be like,
oh, this happens only on reactions, not on their turn.
And they can only use the type of them once.
So like, you know, if I, I won't give an example, but I think you
can interpret that correct. First on initiative is the
strange alien creature. They rolled the highest.
Everyone in this room, in this chamber, in this hole in Meteor
Falls, sees this thing just emerge from a pitch black shape
from the center of the meteor. There's smoke everywhere.
There's still dust settling. Parts of the buildings that have
been destroyed are still crumbling.
There's sounds of Pokémon scurrying, and a bunch of
trainers are fleeing. About half of the ones that came
to celebrate this ritual just turn tail and just got out of
here. They're running up the stairs,
looking at this creature's body. It seems just like not organic.
Like it seems like it's corporeal.
It seems like it exists, but the material it's made out of is
like both somehow metallic and also feels like it's a
projection of light. It's not like anything you've
seen before. It doesn't make sense.
It has two tentacles on either side of its humanoid body, like
where arm should be, and they are constantly twirling in a
double Helix as if there's no joint or anything.
Like organic body parts shouldn't move that way.
This creature looks around, gathers its surroundings and in
an instant its body just morphs. It just completely changes what
it looks like. It becomes much more angular,
its tentacle arms merge into one single tentacle, and it looks
incredibly fast. It is going to choose its
target. The most threatening opponents
to this creature seems to be Jinga and his Tyrantrum.
It's dashes over to Jinga in a fraction of a second lock size
with Tyrantrum and it channels a beam from a gem on its chest and
blasts it towards the pair. This alien creature charges this
beam and just there was no time to react for the Tyrantrum
whatsoever and it just blasts into its face into its jaw,
dealing 44 points of seemingly psychic type damage.
This creature changes its shape yet again.
It becomes completely rigid and its arms turn into walls
seemingly and it dashes forward choosing its next target, which
is oh, that's going to be Soul Eater.
Very cool. It lifts one of its wall arms
and slams them down into solely and rolls quite low.
Does a 14 hit. No 14 does not hit.
Just in a fraction of a second, Solely is able to just narrowly
jump out of the way and it slams its wall arm into the ground and
there is a very deep impression where it used to be.
It locks eyes with Cindy and it opts to go for one more attack.
It changes its form once again to a more angular form, but this
one, this one seems a little more offensive.
The gem is more clearly exposed and it seems like it is eager to
deal some more damage. This time they choose Scarlet
and Absal, the gambling woman who was trying to influence
Cindy just earlier. She decided to stick around and
take her chances so to speak on this fight.
The alien twirls one of its tentacles into a fist, a giants
like cartoonish looking fist, and just smacks it right down
onto Absal. That does hit.
That is super effective, dealing 68 points fighting type damage.
Absolute. Still up by a little bit.
Scarlett recoils in terror as she can't believe what she just
saw. This creature's turn is over.
It's your turnality. Yay.
So happy to be here. Let's go.
Yay, I already have cabbage out.
I am going to have cabbage go for a decorate onto soul leader.
Nice love it. You don't have to roll for that
or anything right? It just happens correct yes.
So so Lee has attacks with advantage and disadvantage with
damaging DC saves imposes and then you also upgrade all of
damage size rules by 1 tier. So that would be like AD 8 to AD
10 D 10 to AD 12, etcetera. So that's pretty cool.
That is your action. Is there anything else that's
happening between Elodie and cabbage?
I think Elodie is going to have grape juice come out.
OK. I will allow that as long as
grape juice doesn't do anything. Yeah, no, I just wanted to bring
it up. Yeah, that sounds great.
Elodie using her time wisely, having cabbage decorate on
Solely. A lot of little bits of fairy
energy decorate Solely's body and she feels all ramped up and
outcomes the marsh stump. Grape juice ready for action.
Grape juice can immediately tell that there is danger and Grape
juice is here to protect their friends.
I believe that's it for you. Yes, that'll be it for me.
Gimme, what's the plan? So right now I technically have
Bean and Trevor out. You guys never seen Bean before?
I guess technically, but I guess it's not important right now to
everybody else. Bean is a monstrosity at the
moment. If I if I have a plan, do I have
to wait for my turn to communicate it?
Not necessarily, especially if you want to coordinate with your
allies to like do some sort of combo thing or like you, yeah,
if it's simple and short, like maybe you're like don't attack
it yet or something, then like you can definitely communicate
that. Yeah.
Can you pin it? And I pin it.
Yeah, I know you have some tunes.
I had a rock. So you can.
So none of my guys ought to have rock tune, but I can attempt
maneuvers with probably Trevor. So I have an I have an idea to I
I might. So I was going with Bean Shadow,
sneak in next to him and then sandstorm.
So he has a rough time. Cool.
Shadow Sneak is just a bonus action that happens.
Just happens. I think that's fine if you can
pin it next turn because I think I need to do a little.
Well, that's just Bean. I think Trevor then can make
that move to attempt to. I want to say it's like grapple,
but I don't know how Trevor does reasonably.
Sit on him. Yeah, because I don't have rock
tune like I do with like Torkel or something.
Are you, Yeah, you we can. Grappling is just like a
strength versus strength check generally, unless there's a
special situation. Yeah.
So I'm going to do first the shadow sneak to get in proximity
of the axis with beam. OK, So we're gonna open with
that. Sure.
And that is to attack, right? Yeah, it's a bonus action to
attack, so let me roll for that. Either way, it puts me in
position, which is the important thing.
Does a 19 hit. It does.
OK, that is for super effective damage I believe, correct?
That is correct, yeah. I wanted to give its first turn
ambiguity, but no, being around the Bush.
This is Deoxys and. And.
It has three forms, Attack, speed and Defense.
It is currently in attack form. 11 damage.
Nice. We'll take it.
And then Bean has a follow up. Yeah, so then we sandstorm right
after. Now Bean got an upgrade on
evolution. Yeah, I was.
About to read that actually. So now that I have for one of my
abilities A Bissell husk. So while in Sandstorm Beans
saves against any damaging effect that may result in a or
unless it results in a critical failure.
He does not take damage at all. So there's any saving throws I
have to do. If I succeed, then I take no
damage. True.
While I'm in sandstorm, very true.
And then Sandstorm on top of that gives me actual advantage
on saving throws. So very, very nice.
Yeah, very good. And I think, is that the only
one? Yeah, NUM Rock and a very first
time that they take a dive damage with some level rounding
up rocks gain advantage on saving first.
OK, so Deoxys should take the damage in the sandstorm since
technically he just entered it, is that correct?
Like after they activate it on his turn.
I think it's the at the end of each of their turns.
Is it not the? First time war begins of their
turn inside the area. Yep, absolutely.
I have it written. Yeah, so they take their
proficiency modifier and damage, right?
Great. Yeah.
And then Trevor's going to move in and attempt to like latch
itself to grapple kind of like, you know, like a four prong vice
because that's how a little boulder would look like trying
to do that and just like trying to wrap around them, try to
contain those tentacles of his. Yeah, I guess it's the strengthy
strength. Yeah, let's just do a strengthy
strength. This is a tact form so I just
letting you know. Yeah, I mean, you got to try it
anyway because. Yeah, absolutely.
They rolled kind of low, which is a 22.
I rolled a 23. Wow, no way.
Wow. That's pretty awesome.
Go, Trevor. Trevor is a vice grip wrapped
around this thing. Yeah, let's go so and these you
have two Pokémon out. So this is like your full thing,
right? Yeah, as a bonus action that I
will also harden while I'm attached.
OK, that's fair. You do get.
That I can reduce damage taken on the next move as a bonus
action there. Yeah, pretty cool.
So in one really decisive turn Gimley has his new Abyssal
monster, the Eldritch Bean dive into the shadows into the ground
and sneak up it right up next to Deoxys and create a sandstorm
which is very beneficial for rock types in general.
Catches Deoxys a little off guard and then immediately
following the surprise attack Trevor lumbers over jumps on top
of attack formed Deoxys and they they grapple with each other for
a second. Deoxys hands turn or arms turn
into actual hands and manages to lose the grapple.
So Deoxys gets pinned underneath Trevor on the ground.
Pretty impressive. Pretty good out the gate
maneuver. We will move on then.
This is the allies initiative. There is a number of allies.
There are 6 NBC trainers. There are 4 Draconard elders.
I'm going to roll I, I won't explain this every time.
I'm going to roll some general dice just to see how many of
them probably succeed and then I'm just going to determine
which one succeed which which things happen.
I don't want to take up too much time with this, but they are
here to help. I would like to illustrate that
among these allies that are nearby is the suffering, injured
Vince Winstreet. He takes this moment to just
writhe in pain. He is bleeding a lot, and his
two Dragonair are circling around him kind of like very
quickly and looking very cautiously, making sure no one
touches him. He's having a real bad time.
There is another trainer. There is Symetra's brother.
He has sent out a Weevil. You all recognize it and he's
going to go for a night slash into the ping Deoxys.
So he has advantage to hit and he does hit very good.
Sneaking up, taking advantage of the opportunity that Trevor has
created, dealing 38 points of dark tape damage.
Not bad. We will take that just slashing
right across its face, Gimli and I'll suggest others.
You might notice that as Deoxys takes damage, especially super
effective damage apparently it seems like it's flesh kind of
like disappears, like there's a hole where it used to be, and
then it gradually like cells emerge and just gradually reform
its body around where the damage was taken.
It is very spooky. As this is happening, Deoxys is
just staring at Weevil, just staring it down as far as Dragon
is. I will give a turn to Walker.
Walker is going to send his trusty beloved Scarmory into the
air and fire off an air cutter towards Deoxys, which even with
advantage, does not hit. Unfortunate Walker.
But it was good for for moral, for the moral attack, for the
moral victory. Let's move on to Cindy all.
Right. We're we're making solely alpha
solely with the, the Atlas stone we're.
Going to do it. OK, I do not have a sheet
prepared for this level, but instead I've made a formula.
Are you ready to make some temporary stat changes?
Sure, yeah. You're going to add 5 to decks
as well as Wisdom. Five to wisdom.
Yeah, 5 to wisdom, 5 to decks. This will influence your rules.
I'll just make it simple. I'll also just say you add 5 to
your damage bonus and you're already decorated, so you're
going to be doing a lot of damage.
You also have you do passive. There's a lot to take in here.
Your your HP is going to what is solely's level. 9.
Solely's HP is going to increase by 27.
OK. Yeah, instead of incorporating
your new ability modifiers for your damage, just double it.
Just double your damage bonuses. You're going to double your dice
too, actually. Double damage and double dice.
Everything and you go with a decorate, you're doing a lot of
damage. Solely is a monster right now.
Double, double, double. Double, Double Double the damage
modifier. And the dice, Yeah.
Oh. And then decorate makes my D
tens D12. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot.
And if I get a Max roll on any of them, it's.
Yeah. While oh.
Yeah, I don't know. So when we wrapped up, just real
quick, when we wrapped up last time, I didn't have Cindy's
passive figured out. I just copped out just AD and D
passive. I thought it fit her.
It's exploding dice. So if she gets a Max roll on a
damaged dice she gets to re roll it until it's not Max.
Anymore AD Yeah, yeah. Keep accumulating damage, yeah.
One per battle, essentially. Yeah, yeah.
If that's the rule that I said, that is what I intended.
Once per what's? Encounter.
I don't know if the word was encounter, I'm just what?
Was it like the application? Once per combat.
Combat, Yeah, so. So it basically battle, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, any who.
Yeah, we can describe that before you enter your next
battle. So, to no surprise of the Quacko
Paco, but to the grand surprise of literally everyone else,
Sidney prepares a rare artifact from her bag and solely
interacts with it. There is an intense explosion of
flame in centering around Solely.
It is brightly blue, and there's a moment where everyone in this
chamber loses their breath. It gets vacuumed out of their
body as it goes to fuel the flame that is surrounding
Solely, it emerges. She is larger.
She is surrounded by several blue Willow wisps, and she has a
fierce blue gaze to her eyes. She seems incredibly, incredibly
powerful. Yeah, this is definitely grabs
the attention of the dragon of elders and the allies who are
with you. They they cannot believe what
they have seen. The Quacko Packa you guys have
seen. You guys know what's.
Up all right. Does decorate only affect my
like one attack or is it like my next series of attacks?
I think it's what is it, what is decorated salty.
Isn't it just like a minute or something?
At least for the remainder of the encounter.
There we go, remainder of the encounter decorated.
OK. You guys made your own raid boss
I think. OK so we're going to start off
with a bonus action quick attack.
Which do I get advantage to hit because the access is pinned?
Correct melee attacks get advantage to it.
Does a 21 hit. It does.
All right, So it would be AD 6:00, but that gets bumped up to
AD 8, correct? That's two damage.
With all those boosts, I guess you have.
No, you have. No damage, there's no modifiers
for quick attack and I rolled it.
That's hilarious. OK, come on.
That's really funny. OK I want to do an overheat but
I don't want to hurt Trevor. Does Trevor get the bonus bonus
from like the sandstorm? That is correct, yeah.
He does, yes, because he's in the sandstorm with the axis.
Who's in the sandstorm? So.
And he resists. So it's really not that bad.
Resisted as well. I also have hardened so I'm even
taking less damage this turn. Yeah, OK.
So look. At Cindy, wondering where her
allies are. That's great.
And I did set up, I, I was prepared for this too.
Like I was ready to get shot at. So it's like, let me let me do
some prep work. We'll be alright.
So I guess Trevor and D axes have to make ADC 14 deck save,
which is a disadvantage for. Technically.
Yeah. Technically monsters that.
Decorate. Creatures that are parallel,
like they're on the ground, actually save with advantage.
I don't feel like I think this thing has so many opportunities.
I don't really need to do that. And it's pain, so it can't move,
so I'm just going to treat it like it saves normally.
OK, you said 15 decks. 14 DC, 14 decks.
DC-14 decks. It does succeed with a 26.
Trevor Phil OK, so OK, that's fine.
So I'm gonna roll all the damage and the access will take half.
Deoxys and Trevor are going to make the same amount before
Harden I believe. Because I I resist it so I'll
take the same amount of damage. Yeah.
So just roll it and then we divide it by two and then harden
is applied. So it's 53.
Nice. So half of that.
After I round up. Yeah, it's round down I rundown.
So we we truncate. I'm so sorry, Trevor.
Trevor can handle it and. Then I take hold on wait, I
didn't roll for the damage. And you gave yourself advantage
with Sandstorm, right? Yeah, I failed it.
So got it. Yeah, I took 21 damage.
Yeah, that's fine. That was worth it, I think.
For. Sure.
Since you prepped the transformation, I'll, I'll give
that to you. So I'll let Cindy do Uno Moss
kind of thing. Not a complete thing, but if she
wants to send someone out or like make a check of some sort
or communicate an idea. I I was going to say I think I
want to send cookie out just to have cookie ready.
Let's do it. Cookie the Hohenian Sligu hits
the field and similar to grape juice, immediately can tell that
there is danger and Cookie is here to save the day.
That's it for you. Yep.
We finally get around to Schmidt, the last surviving lore
keeper. What will he do?
OK, can I send out to Pokémon at a time?
Yes, thinking about turn economy here.
Yeah. Usually sending a Pokémon out is
the trainer's action, so only one of those Pokémon or Quacko
would get to do a thing. OK, that is the rule.
I'm good with that. Cool, OK, How far away is Deoxys
from me right now? Like how many feet?
We're going to say everyone's kind of in a circle around the
stage, so I'll keep it a good clean 30.
Good clean 30, that's exactly what I needed.
OK, I am sending out Patricia and Walter.
Walter, let's go. Walter.
Then. Patricia, can I have one make an
action and one make a movement? Or is that too much?
That's too much. They can do a bonus action, but
they cannot make a movement because that's the same economy
as an action. Then I will just have Patricia
perish Song. Oh my God, can deoxys.
OK, you understand that every future that can hear that is
afflicted with the. 2 within a 30 foot line, so it.
Shows a line that's correct. Yeah, yeah, it should only
effects Deoxys and Trevor. How to play Paris trap teams?
Yeah, yeah. And that just happens, correct?
The. 3013 Con. 13 Con 13. Con State.
Yeah. This is attack form so.
Oh dope, 13 con and I have advantage.
Let's go Deoxys ruled a natural 13.
Sorry about that shit, OK? You saw the the game plan
though. Yeah, no, Yeah, that was pretty
solid. Look.
I rolled the 16. We're good.
And that's probably it for Schmidt, correct?
I was just going to describe it. Yeah.
Schmidt, similar to Gimli, has a plan.
He sends out Patricia, arguably one of his strongest Pokémon, as
well as his newest capture, Walter.
Walter's a little confused and hasn't been on the party for a
very long time, so he's not very intuitive, so he doesn't really
know what's going on, so he can't do anything.
Patricia sees the target, sings a song of death.
Paris song. An incredible technique that can
cause Pokémon default TO0HP after a set number of time.
However, Deoxys does not hear it.
Very unfortunate, but a great start.
Did Trevor make the save? I did.
Trevor passed. Yeah, OK.
Some. Some.
I think Patricia's used the songs failing.
I don't. Yeah, no, that's fair.
Some keen trainers know what's going on.
Toma Toma recognized Schmidt's action, and there's like a sense
of pride in her wrinkly old eyes as she saw what was being
attempted there. That's it for Schmidt, correct?
That's all I got economy for. OK, we're back to Deoxys, the
Big bad. Who, to note, has not used any
legendary actions. Deoxys will use one of its
actions currently in in its attack form to teleport.
It teleports back to the site of the meteoric impact.
It does so without needing to make a Strength save.
As one of its legendary actions, it is foregoing the release of
the grapple. Yeah, Trevor, just.
Just just just false. Just it enters somewhat of like
a hybrid between its speed and defense form, its arms swirling
into double Helix tentacles and plant themselves into the
ground. And it sucks up its legs into
the core of its body, and its head expands, and its chest
expands, and a brilliant bright light starts funneling into its
chest. I would like to offer a reaction
to all the players really quick. He's about to shoot a big laser,
isn't he? Yeah.
Where is he facing? He is facing southward from the
center of town, where more or less everyone is positioned
besides the elders. I can only make a reaction, not
a. Yes, you can't do a whole last
thing. OK, I don't have any reactions
available to me. Maybe doll eyes?
That's a thing. You want to do it.
Hell yeah. OK, remind me what that exactly
does? As a reaction, you may impose
disadvantage on an enemy creature after they target
yourself or an ally and before they roll to hit or save or a
save is rolled. That's fantastic.
Great call. Anyone else?
I think Trevor's going to quickly use earthen ramparts to
create a wall for him and beam to hide behind.
Nice. That will cost roughly within.
The same space, so that should be fine.
How? Much HP does that cost?
It says let me see. I'm trying to like remember the
calculations. With how close they are, I don't
think you need more than 5 feet 5 square feet.
Yeah, so 5 feet is 5HP, right? That's.
Is that whatever the formula says I trust?
Total HP family equal to the structure HPH cubic 5 feet a
wall. Yep, Cubic, 5 feet.
So yeah, it's equal to that. So 5.
Cindy, was there something you wanted to do?
It was just the baby doll eyes. Oh, right.
Yeah. Baby doll eyes happened.
Yeah, We got Walter using runaway to Burrow underground
really quick. Just five feet, but still.
Anything else? No.
Cool. I don't think so.
It seems like the entire chamber becomes dimmer as Deoxys funnels
energy into the the core orb on its chest.
And then in a moment, in a flash, it summons all just a big
old laser beam. We're going to call this move a
version of Psycho Boost, Deoxys's signature attack.
It spins it in just like half a second, just just in a full semi
circle facing southwards everyone within range to make
ADC 19 dexterity safe. However, baby doll eyes gives
everyone advantage we. So Trevor and Dean, they already
had advantage, so obviously don't get more advantage.
Advantage for being in sand. Yes, yeah, they have advantage
for being in sand, but also they have a wall in front of them.
The walls destroyed for sure. I'm wondering how we can give
them given plus 10, given plus 10 as well as advantage this.
Is. Everyone, everyone into every
Pokémon. This is a lot of rolling.
Yeah, Trevor and Bean both pass excellent.
And then? What's the save?
19 Dexterity. Gimli fails.
Understood. I am still with advantage.
With advantage. I was going to say Cindy was
about to. Cindy still failed, but by
significantly less. Me and my guys failed.
Ex. And I wrote on that 20.
Kind of appropriately, I think Schmidt and Quacko made it, but
Patricia did not. This is.
I like the flavor of like Schmidt just grabbing Quacko.
Like get the fuck out of here. No, that's fantastic.
The dice do tell a story. This is a very powerful attack.
It is. It deals psychic type damage.
It's just a big fat laser beam. All Pokémon not considering
types, resistances, etcetera takes 75 points of psychic type
damage. Not bean.
Before factoring any of that.
That's on a failure. This is people in Pokémon.
Doing my roles. This is Pokémon, the four
resistances. It's like Ellie's dead.
I'm just kidding. Starting fixing for Trevor it.
Takes half that damage. Fantastic.
So he loved it 38. Tell me you guys have all of
that sorted out. Yep.
Was that Pokémon? That was sorry, I'm still
working on who's saving. Ultron of failure, right?
Oh no, no, I'm I'm saying who's saving or fail, Sorry.
Oh, take your time. You have Cindy and Soly and
Cookie out, correct? I mean, Cindy's out, obviously.
So Soly takes no damage at all. Fantastic.
Cindy fails and Cookie fails. OK, so cookies taking 75 points
of psycho type damage. Holy moly.
All humans who failed take 37 points of psycho type damage.
Not even sweating. All Pokémon succeeded.
Cindy is at exactly 0. Fantastic.
All Pokémon who succeeded with not an AT20 take 37 points of
psychotype damage. Wait, all Pokémon that
succeeded? All Pokémon that succeeded take
as much as humans who failed. Oh.
Wait that I did that. Wrong.
Oh, what about humans who saved? Humans who saved with less than
a Nat 20 take 18 points. OK.
Oh, I did that math. Wrong LED is also unconscious.
Oh my God, our healer's unconscious.
OK. Oh God, a dough.
A dough. How much HP did LED have?
I think she's at 15. Because we took damage upon the
impact, right? You leveled up, you're full.
I'm not wrong. Everyone's on full.
Oh, OK. Andy has exactly 37 HP, yeah.
I'm fine guy, and everything is A7 HP.
Yeah, sorry. We we treat level UPS like full
restores. I think D&D does that in
general. OK, then I need to fix some
things, OK? We're still hanging strong man.
Yeah. What a monster.
I'm going to make a very sad and important role for Vince
Winstreet. Oh.
No. Vince.
Not Vince. Has advantage.
His first role's a three. Vince.
Come on, Vince. Oh, he's also horizontal.
I'm going to give him double advantage.
OK, He's a three and a 10 and A5 until an act of God.
Vince Winstreet is deceased. Oh my.
God, he actually died. Oh my God.
He got to tell his parents. We were fighting a space God and
Vince passed away. Sadly he didn't roll well.
He just let him know, let them know, break the 4th wall and let
his family know he did not roll well.
Death is real, guys. It's been a while since we had
like a proper death. That's crazy.
Some of the trainers took a little bit of damage.
The Dragons were not in the blast.
Does everyone have all their numbers all sorted?
Unsurprisingly, that is Deoxys's full turn.
I'm going to consider this form standard because it doesn't
appropriately fit into attack speed or defense, so mentally
interpret that as you will for its stats.
Let's go to Ality, who is unconscious.
No, she's up, she's fine. No, she's fine.
I didn't hadn't fully healed, but I'm I'm perfectly fine now.
OK. I feel like given that that just
happened, we should all probably like split up so that we're
harder to take out in one blow. Potentially, yeah.
Potentially I'm gonna probably try and head in a direction.
Quick question is the little like Gray and red splotch Sam's
book and yes, yes it is. Yes, it is so funny.
I I had to put it. Somewhere Sam got headshot on
the map. There it is.
I love that that's really anyways and where?
Where are the elders? The elders are more towards the
garden. They are on the left side of the
platform that was destroyed, and that is where the axis returned
to fire this laser. So the axis is over there.
The axis is in the center of the stage.
It's where the orange and blue triangle is, right?
Ignore this. The grid.
We are doing different dimensions, right, right, right.
At this point, I would just say everyone's 30 feet away except
for Trevor and Bean, who are more like 20.
Got you. OK.
I think I'm just going to, like, head kind of to the left of
where we are, but like not quite to the elders.
OK, Just to get some distance between everybody.
Sorry. You're going like, left or
right? Left.
Got it. I think.
Yep. Good adventures.
Go left. How far are you going?
Just in my head. Her feet.
How large was the blast that just happened?
It was about 1/3 of a circle with unmeasurable length.
That was just a like a beam. There is definitely like a laser
hole on the opposite side of the chamber where like The Cave
ascends where the stairs are. It's just on just gone, not
gone, but it's it's like it's smoking, like there was a big
old blast that happened. Since distances are hard, I can
I just say I went like into the like left third of the chamber.
That's perfect. That's totally fine.
Cool does your movement so yeah, you have just cabbage out right?
No, you sent out so one I sent out pictures.
One of your Pokémon gets an action then and if the other one
has a bonus action or something they can still do that.
But when? Oh yes, I do want to do a bonus
action. What was your question?
Sorry. Oh, did you count sandstorm
damage when you like teleported? It's there now those.
On those on the other one. Thank you for the reminder.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do want to do a bonus action
because I forgot to do it on the first turn.
OK. But I think desperate times call
for desperate measures. And I think it's time in that
Cabbage casts some ancestral fame magic.
OK, Rolly D100, let's do this. This is this could be absurd.
I just want you to know this might not be, like, what you
want. No, I know.
OK. It's just, you know, we're
desperate times. Have a desperate.
Whatever. Happens.
OK, we ball.
We ball, Let's go. 97 Why am I only rolling 90s?
Let's go. We're keeping track of these,
right? Yes, I have 94.
You have like a a collection. You're like.
I think it's it's well, if you get the same number, you're
going to get the same effect, right.
Is it also reset because like my counter reset because I levelled
up or Yeah yeah, yeah. All of your stuff is new so
however many times you can use this time 97.
Are you ready for this description?
I'm so ready. Cabbage suddenly starts hearing
faint, mystical, ethereal music surrounding her, playing out a
volume of like, you know, 8 on a speakerphone, iPhone speaker,
80% that is just kind of mystical fairy forest music, and
it's going to surround her for about a minute.
Cool. There you go.
Happy to hear that Cabbage is like a little music player.
Desperate times. Thank you for coming to my
concert. Yes.
OK. Let's use cab boom box cabbage
to project the parish song. If you could play with it, I
would allow it, absolutely. If you want to turn cabbage into
like a megaphone, you have a minute to do so.
Oh. Shit, there we go, all.
Right, well, if I'm thinking too much about this, I'm like, can I
use cabbage as a megaphone for grape juice's uproar?
Yeah, let's just flavor a 97 to be cabbage just kind of plays
spooky fairy music and any sound moves that are go through her
are amplified. We'll say let's go.
All right, I'm gonna go for so funny.
This is what DD is about, baby. OK, This it's this primary
indie. Yeah.
Uproar. Cool.
Can what's the shape of uproar? Is it a cone?
Is it a circle? It does not say.
OK, that's interesting. It probably should say.
I'm going to describe it as a circle.
That's fine. So is grape juice going to
megaphone through cabbage to strike this alien with the song?
Yes. OK.
Yes, that's great. Yeah, just roll a vent.
Wait, it's a save, right? It's a save.
Yes. Con save.
DC-16.
OK. Unfortunately they get a natural
15 with their modifier that is above 16, but it probably still
does damage, right? Or no?
Aren't they completely immune Because it's oh, it's a sound?
No yes, yeah, the normal damage on a fail and half as much on a
success. OK, because they are megaphoned,
I will allow normal damage. Let's go 3D10.
Megaphone damage. I know I have another one.
Be sure to add that to your notes about yes, 24 great, 24
points of normal type damage as grape juice screams through
cabbage as the move connects into Deoxys, the sound waves
kind of like pulse through its body and similar to when it got
night slash by Weevile. It seems like it's parts of its
cells are like a blowing away in like little sparkling, dazzling
little fragments into the distance.
And then from within its body, they reform to to construct its
its return its body to its normal state.
Just a little flavor there for you.
I believe that's it for LED, correct?
Yes. OK, Gimli, you're up.
Sound based things, huh? Exactly.
I don't have sound moves. That doesn't mean I don't have
sound actions. Make Deoxys feel bad about his
life choices. Don't.
You have like a taunt. No, let's guilt trip Deoxys.
Not really a taunt. Intimidate him.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about doing.
You do kind of have a taunt by the way, you do.
You have that written right? You should have. 10 That was on
Trevor. Oh yeah, that was the new thing.
Yeah, I guess I didn't. You got 2 passives.
You got a little bit more than everyone else, but one of them
was really simple, so that's why you got 2.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's called Mountains call.
It's in a. Yeah, I see.
That I was reading, I was making sure that there's something I
wanted to do, yeah. It's a free action.
Oh, it is a free action. Once per long rest.
OK, so yeah, I will. How does that work with what's
it called? Oh, no, that's that's a two
call. I don't want to bring draw their
attention. OK, so I I will just mountains
call. OK.
As a free action, So it's ADC 17 strength, OK.
And it on success, Yeah, it says they get taunted basically.
OK, it does. It does, in fact, fail.
So Deoxy's next target is Trevor.
And with that, I will use both Iron Defense and Harden.
Great, you'd love to see it. Yeah, so I have +6 to my AC and
I take less damage if I do get hit.
Cool. And we're in the sandstorm,
which is great. What's Bean going to do?
I will first move Bean towards like the rest of the group
rather than like next to Trevor, just to avoid that situation.
Sure, it probably does leave the sands.
Oh no, the sandstorm's massive. OK, yeah, that's fine.
No, it still leaves the sandstorm because everyone's
pretty much out of it. Then I will just rockslide into
Deoxys. Cool, that's a save.
That is a save DC-14 strength. OK to get a natural 18?
OK, so so does half damage, so 9 damage.
We'll take it. Cool.
I believe that's it for Gimli. OK, we're back to the Allies.
I'm going to keep it quick. Yeah.
I can't get Vince out of my mind.
He's dead. I don't know how else to put it.
He got fucked up. His dragon ears.
His dragon ears are just mourning.
They can't do anything besides that.
Very, very sad. Among them is a new trainer who
you haven't seen before, but they were graciously submitted
to us by a friend. Their name is Christopher and
they are they have among them a strange Pokémon that looks like
it's made of rock and metal and it's kind of shaped like a car.
This Pokémon is a Rev of room. Rev of room is going to go for a
spin out into the axis. It's going to charge for it as
incredibly high speed. It's going to try and hit it
with a steel type attack. It does in fact hit, so it deals
mineral of damage 18 points, so that's fine.
So that's them. We're going to have a dragon it
have a go. We're going to have Renza and
Gudra line up a Draco meteor. It's time.
It's time for the whole kit and kaboodle.
The Oxus is going to make a save against this.
It passes. The Oxus takes 30 points of
dragon type damage as Renza's Gudra unleashes draconic meteors
from the sky. Very, very impressive.
Everyone is doing their part, it seems.
Cindy isn't conscious, Cindy cannot make any actions.
Cindy has disadvantage to saving its mailing attacks, and
advantage against saves. Solely is like ascended, and so
Cindy, you're welcome to like give an intuited command to
solely. Cookie will have some more
trouble making things happen, but you can still have them try
to do things. So because solely did use
overheat last time, it's like he briefly fatigued.
Correct. So I feel like solely would go
for something like a like a flamethrower or something like
that. Sure.
So I think a flamethrower which is ADC 16 dex dex save.
OK. But DXS would have advantage
because of the overheat advantage, Yeah.
They do pass, they do not crit, so they still take half damage.
OK, so I'm still decorated. Correct.
So that's two D12 + 14 because you said to double the modifier
30. OK.
That's 30 damage from solar. That's pretty good for overheat
exhaustion, but you are in your alpha state, so you're kind of
going crazy. Yeah, cool.
OK, noted. Not bad.
Cookie's going to have a little bit more trouble because they're
not your partner and they're not in their God form, so.
Yeah. Cookie can try for sure.
I wonder because Cookie does have Draco Meteor.
I wonder if it would watch like the Gudra do Draco Meteor and be
like I can do that. I like that flavor.
And attempt it, yeah, it's like, oh, I know how to do that one.
And my trainer's unconscious so. Renza did kind of make a
connection with a cookie. I yeah, that's good.
I like that. I won't give you any penalties
if you want to use Draco Meteor. OK, that's ADC 15 deck save for
Deoxys. OK deoxys does fail this one,
you get full damage. It's 5D-8 plus six.
It's not decorated, it's not in God form.
I don't think cookie has a. God not yet 29. 29 Great.
That's really significant. Great job, Cookie.
I don't really know what else to say.
Cookie copying Renzo's Gudra, inspired by the Draco meteor,
does it itself and is just one point shy of the damage dealt
that Gudra did, which is quite impressive.
Cookies feeling really prideful and dutiful at the moment.
That's that's good. We'll keep that in mind.
And Cindy's unconscious. Cindy is Do I have to make a?
Do I have to make a? Yeah, yeah, you do have to make
a death safe. Yeah, I forgot.
That's fun. So yeah, 2000. 18.
Great. That's a success.
Two more of those and you're back.
That's it for Cindy Schmidt. OK, a little bit of a retcon.
Yeah, because I realized I didn't actually roll Patricia
for Parrish song. Yes.
I rolled it and she failed. Oh, OK, so she's perishing.
So with that knowledge, I would like to recall Patricia A
Schmidt's action this turn right?
But I would like Walter to Burrow underground until it is
under Deoxys. Great, my.
Game plan. Is if you would allow it.
Whenever they move to make another attack, I can pursuit
it. Yes, under the condition that
they do not Burrow more than 5 feet deep.
Yep. That's good.
They're just they're 5 feet deep and.
Yeah. And just burrowing that
direction. Yeah, OK.
I like that. And their Burrow is higher than
their other movement, right? It says 20 Burrow, 30 walk OK.
No, they're a little bit slower. They're not going to be able to
get all the way to the axis, but they're very close.
We can assume that the axis moves over that spot.
I think you can get what you're looking for, but I don't think
it's also. If he was moving towards Trevor,
this. Pursuit.
Yeah, it also says Pursuit has a melee with a 40 foot dash, but
it'll be within a 40 foot range of yeah, you.
Definitely would be. Yes, Yeah, you, you can pull
that off. Yeah, you can do.
It OK that is the game plan is that my whole action we're
calling Patricia and. Yes, unless Quacko has a bonus
action or something. Nope.
OK, cool. Mermit is also like hiding
Quacko, like trying to like keep Quacko as far away from all this
action as. Possible.
OK, that's good flavour. It's back to Deoxys.
Deoxys has been taunted by Trevor's called the Mountain and
it must attack Trevor. It enters its speed form and
just charges forward. It gets there in a fraction of a
second. It's like how you hardly even
saw it move. You blink and it's in front of
Trevor. It twirls its tentacles into a
cartoonish iconic looking fist and smashes into Trevor pursuit.
Yeah, let it happen. Would this be considered
flanking or if I'm underground? Yeah, why not?
This thing is from underground. Dude just bursting out.
That's a flank. Flanking.
That's a guaranteed crit, right? Sure is all righty.
Walter's kind of level, right? It's like, is it level 9 or is
it level 5 for that? Walter's Level 8.
OK. Right.
But like for that passive, what's the threshold?
Is it 5? It's five.
I think it's five. Yeah, you're fine.
It's 8, so 28 + 8. 36 Not bad for a reaction that's so great.
Yeah, that's a reaction. It's pretty.
Good. Yeah.
Walter already proving his worth as a scaredy cat, that is also.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's called Dunspars and Grandpa.
Guys, this is it. We've been waiting this whole
time. True Main.
Character of the same campaign, yeah.
Yeah, that's fantastic. Despite the pretty good damage
from this reaction, the access does not even flinch.
They do not care. It's almost as if they nothing
hit them. Obviously their body kind of
deteriorates and then it kind of reforms as its body seems to be
doing. But its attention does not
change. It is solely focused on Trevor
and it is going to attack it with a superpower.
That's what it's going for. Against your armor class that is
24 to hit OK. That does connect.
Just in advance I will note they will use one of their legendary
actions to cleanse the ill effects of using superpower.
That is their legendary resilience.
They will I was waiting for that one.
They will. They will do that and let's.
Do they do they have a negative effect from psycho boost?
No, that was a different you that I was just flavored to
Psycho Boost. That was a different thing.
I was like cuz that's just like overheat.
Yeah, yeah, if if they pop Psycho Boost properly, yes, but
that was like a special mechanic.
Cool. So that will hit let's roll
damage and this is super effective.
No, it is not. I'm iron defense.
True, it is not super effective. That makes a big difference.
That will be dealing 32 points of fighting type damage.
That will be dealing 16 points of fighting type damage because
I rolled sturdy. Fantastic.
Very good. A beefcake, all right, Whoever's
taken some hits, baby, is the iron wall.
Deoxys is unhappy with this result.
The Axis is not having this. It had its pride challenged as a
super powerful space alien, and it's not done with Trevor.
It's going to rule another superpower, this time a 26 to
hit. That definitely does.
OK, dealing 22 points of fighting type damage.
Sturdy. Propped again, Correct.
OK, so 11, I don't know. Oh my God, I forgot to roll the
other dice on. Got to roll what up?
My damage reduction wasn't harden.
Yeah. OK, so 5 S actually, I get 5
back and then I take 11 off. So I OK, I'm at 25.
OK, great. Yeah, another hit with its
cartoonishly large fist. Deoxys's eyes glow red as it
cannot handle this mistreatment anymore, raises both of its
cartoonishly large fists into the air, and as its final action
slams A superpower into Trevor, considering a 10 point drop to
its strength step. He also takes damage from Call.
Yeah, cool. So it is 90, I don't know.
Yeah, 94 damage per attack that it did.
Great. Why don't we save until the end
of the last attack? Yeah, that's fine.
So it's going to go for a double fisted superpower, albeit with
reduced stats, reduced damage rolling to hit that fails.
They get a natural four with all their drops that will not
connect, but they still slam their fists into Trevor.
Can we talk about the recoil damage that's taking?
Yes. So I'm just going to roll this
set because I just have nine die queued up because of my level.
So first hit it took 25 damage. Awesome.
Yep. Second, rolling now to 22 damage
and then third, it took 19 damage.
Fantastic. That's a huge amount of damage
for just being a tank. Taking hits, yeah.
Yeah, almost as much damage, or maybe just about the same amount
that Deoxys dealt to Trevor was dealt to back Trevor proving.
Itself, I only took like, I only took like, what, 20 points of
damage? Oh, yeah, before the reductions.
I mean, it's about, it's about the damage that that was dealt
as the Oxus's fists slam into Trevor for the final time.
They recoil backwards and the Oxus is like caught off guard.
And I can't believe what happened.
And the fists that made contact with Trevor kind of like
deteriorate the way that its body has been doing when it
takes damage. And the little cells kind of
sprinkle all over where it's been smashing into Trevor over
and over again. They fall onto his body.
And Trevor's red stones begin to glow.
And he's a compass with a brilliant white light.
And he grows extra limbs and he gets bigger and taller and more
mountainous. And Gimli has the final fully
evolved starter Pokémon, Trevor the Giglith.
Yes. Congratulations.
He arrived like this better be coming like he was the Iron
Wall. He tanked 3 massive attacks.
I will give you a moment to review that sheet.
I would like to reward Trevor all of his HP back and one
additional use of Call of the Mountain as well.
So please, please enjoy. Deoxys is upset, and that was a
very good defensive play that probably saved someone's life.
So I will award that with an evolution.
Let's move on. Ality, what are you doing?
Hi. Hi.
That was fun. Yeah.
I think it's time for cabbage to go for a dazzling gleam.
So Yaquxis has to make a Christmas save with DC-60.
Great. That's a crit fail.
We'll treat that as a critical damage for cabbage.
Deoxys is popping legendary grit as a reaction.
Actually will not crit, but you'll still do damage.
Sorry. That's the third legendary
action. I am keeping track.
And they're all different. 28 damage, 28 you said.
Yeah. OK, OK, not bad.
And then we're going to again amplify an uproar through
cabbages. Boom box from grape juice.
Love it. Great DC-16 con save.
They get a 18 one of these days. Yep, 20 damage.
Cool, not bad. Anything else for LED's turn?
Where are the winstreet dragonaires?
They are in the southeastern ish corner by a residential area
behind. Kind of like the the stands.
OK, so I probably can't get to them in one turn.
If you dash, you could, but you already took action.
So, right, If you gleam an uproar, I think that's all of
your turn. Economy, I believe.
True, right? OK, well then I will just stay
where I'm at, OK? After this onslaught, Deoxys
seems it has reached kind of like it came into this feeling
eerily like confident. And it is at a specific
threshold which I will not define where it is more
concerned. It's not having an easy time
decimating this group as it wants to.
Just taking that note. Deoxys looks angry.
It is now Gimli's turn. I mean, with the added mountains
call coming back and our full HP that we got going on now I'm
going to trigger that again. Great.
Yeah, do it. Is it still 17 with my
evolution? Cuz now I got the strength
bonus, does that add to it again?
Your strength is above 20, isn't it?
It is. That's kind of crazy.
I forget my exact formula. It's definitely higher.
I don't know how much higher. Because the others are rolling
at like 18 power DC now and I thought that would be similar.
Let's make it the same. Yeah, OK, That's a very powerful
effect. I don't want it to be like 20
but I think 18. Is more than fair.
It's like now earthquake and rockslide both have 18.
I figured that was just like appropriate.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
Let's do 18 rolling strength save.
They exactly meet 18. And because they're not
attacking you because the stoneskin, they will pass.
I'm sorry. What about the stoneskin?
What do you mean? Sorry I just got that confused
for no reason. They met the threshold, they
pass They was. I was just thinking like I was
like a melee attack thing but it's not.
Has nothing to do with stoneskin.
OK, I have a quick interjection because I forgot, but did the D
axis technically failed dazzling gleam by 5 or more even with the
power grid? Or does the power grid, it had a
it did the binding, it had a 12. So I don't think that's five.
I think that's like 4, right? The the gleam because it did it
like roll again or something because it crit failed.
Oh, the gleam. I'm sorry.
I was thinking about the gleam. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, if it failed, it suffers from blindness for a little bit.
Yeah, it's blinding. OK.
What does blinding provide? What's the issue with that?
Automatically fails any ability check that requires site Yes.
It's gonna it'll have a harder time hitting it is a psychic
type, so it doesn't like need vision, but it'll it'll have a
harder time for certain things. OK, I guess with that failure,
since we're not getting a second taunt, evaluating is the pursuit
that took Dun Sparse out of the ground.
Correct. Yes, Dun sparse is above ground.
OK, and is Dun sparse like next to the axis?
Yeah, pretty close. I guess with the taunt failure,
I'm just going to try to, instead of call the mountain
taunting, I'm just going to intimidate taunting.
Just, like, scream at him. Sure, now that he's huge, he
feels absurdly confident. Yeah, he does.
And it's coming at it with full strength, going to try and
intimidate him. So this is my strength versus
his charisma, correct? Yes, that is absolutely correct.
And Trevor is of course still in the sandstorm.
So does that give me advantage or is it just disadvantage?
Disadvantage on saves but that shouldn't affect your
intimidation if that's what you're asking.
OK I was wondering cuz this isn't like a contested role.
It's not like he's making a charisma check.
Yeah. OK, This is why you said
stoneskin, because I was like, yeah, ties do not favor the
attacker when I'm receiving damage from a melee attacker.
OK, yeah, but that wasn't the case then.
So and when it saves, if you meet the save, you pass.
So I was just reminding myself the rules of DND basically.
Yeah, Just real quick, I was also doing that when I was
looking at saving throws. I'm like this that and that's
just anything that's against. You didn't notice that Trevor
has new Sandstorm related stuff, correct?
He did, yeah. That he can as a bonus action
creates A sandstorm around himself, but he's in one, so
he's. Yeah, yeah, he's fine.
He's already in there, so, but he can just make a sandstorm.
That's pretty broken, but I love that.
OK, yeah, sorry. Let me roll my strength.
That'll roll. I crit.
Wow, fantastic. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter
with DX's roles. And it wouldn't be much of A
spoiler or surprise to tell you that Christmas is not really a
stat that Deoxys cares about. Yeah, Deoxys is intimidated and
blind, which is, so it's not in a good spot.
It's going to be really easy to hit and it actually cannot
attack Trevor here because it is scared of Trevor at this moment,
which is pretty reasonable after everything that happened.
I know it's stupid and I keep like I gotta keep reminding this
because I almost forget to when he like tried to attack me he
was in the sandstorm and entered it again so he.
Didn't take damage? Sure.
Yeah. All the racking up dance.
That's totally, Yeah, He has the HP pool where you should
definitely nag me about it. So that's absolutely fair.
OK, Harden again, just to prep that.
But, yeah, I think I'm upset otherwise because he is.
He is a quivering little space alien now.
Great. He's scared of the boy.
All right, I'm done. No.
Am I done? Because I technically have.
I didn't do any actions for myself or our boy.
Bean. How close am I to Cindy?
Should I? Well, should I let Cindy just
like, try to death, save herself to victory?
That's up to you. Yeah, well, I was, I was seeing
what the party thinks of that so far as she's on one success and
you need 3 to come back. And if I try to like stabilize
Cindy, then like it would work. But like that, they won't come
back. Right.
And that consumes an action of yours, so.
Yeah, exactly so. Let's say, do you have the
action economy? I do have the action economy,
but it seems like I can wait on it like reasonably, mostly
because like the Oxus is kind of in a weird spot that he's not
going to be swinging at Cindy and Cindy could death save and
bring herself back to like actually in combat?
Because if you like revitalize her, she doesn't get up or
anything. She's just unconscious but alive
kind of thing. Yeah, not in danger.
Ox is like right on top of you as well.
It's, it's Gimli. No, it's backed off of Trevor,
who's in front of Gimli and it's like intimidated and blind and
stuff. So it's like closer to the stage
in my head. I think because I'm just worried
about like getting in a pack of opportunity, you know what I
mean? You'd have to move.
You wouldn't. Gimli moving to Sydney would
not. Or Cindy would not provoke 1.
OK. No, yeah, Gimli is not like,
yeah, yeah, Gimli is not like moving past Deoxys at all.
Yep. OK then I'll leave that up to
you then. OK, I don't.
No thoughts that up to you. No.
Fair enough. Yeah, if you don't do anything
with Bean, you could stay blessed, Cindy.
Yeah that's what I'm considering is like is it worth that they
get damage in so then I can bring Bean back into the the
fight next to Trevor and be be homies Cuz Bean is like Uber
safe because Deoxys has been trying to swing at it and he's
taking zero damage because of his stupid sandstorm passive
thing and him and Trevor just like the bestest buddies right
now with that ability. Too bad Deoxys doesn't have
bones for bean to eat. It's just bean consume the
bones. Yeah, I'll leave Cindy to her
vices right now. No offense but I think you're
you're on your way to getting back up and I think you'd be
better to be back in combat for solely than just be unconscious
if that makes sense. Yeah.
So I'm going to use bean to shadow ball.
Great, using that move for the first time.
Yep. It's that roll to hitter is
safe. I think it's roll to hit right?
It is roll to hit, so does an 18 hit.
It does. That is good.
OK. So is -2 on any attack role they
make or any DC check when they get hit by shadow ball?
Yeah, they're going to have a a rough next turn.
So it's super effective. That's 36 damage.
That's pretty good, yeah. I want to see it being hurling a
just a shadowy BLOB at the ox is dealing super effective damage
and making its situation even worse.
It is scared and blind and it also just has like a shadowiness
draping over it to that might impact it in a certain way.
It's the allies turn. We are going to have Zavo and
Zatu, the friend you saved from his fate of the spiders.
They're going to do a little thing.
He is going to command Zatu to use an attack.
Zatu faces Deoxys, his eyes glow red.
And then nothing happens. But something will happen if you
catch my dress. Yeah, perhaps.
Perhaps in the future the dragon who is going to have a go is
going to be Tomatoma. This time Tomatoma sees Deoxys
is in a vulnerable position and will instruct her Altaria to use
a lunar song. Really cool, neat little move
and Deoxys to save. They're they're scared.
I'm just thinking, are they saving a disadvantage?
They take melee attacks a disadvantage, but I don't think
they save a disadvantage in their current state.
So yeah, they do get. -2 on the DC.
Though yes, correct. But they need it's good for
them. They still take some damage.
I won't disclose how much it takes some the dragon.
It's kind of C the opportunity that Gimli, more specifically
Trevor and Cabbage have created just with like all these debuffs
and they're kind of circling in the four of them are getting
closer. They're coming behind Deoxys in
its current state. Cindy, you are unconscious.
You can either make your save now or you can do it after your
mom's do stuff. Let's let's do it.
OK, OK, 16. Cool, one more and you have one
HP. You're doing great.
It'll be very unlikely for you to die, which is good.
Yeah, all right. I feel like solely intuitive
probably will do flamethrower again.
OK deck save from Deoxys. Yes, DC-16 deck save.
They do not mean it, they fail. They're having a rough time.
Did they fail by 5 or more? No.
OK, they're not burned 27 + 14. 41, is that correct?
Yeah. Yeah.
Cool, that's a great hit. Soli's really deal with damage.
I mean, I'm not surprised, but like.
Jeez, Soli's in God form so. Yeah, that's, that's pretty
great. OK.
Is Cookie going to try anything? I'd like cookie to try like a
fire punch or something. OK, they have advantage.
So because of the state that the Oxus is in, so I will just let
them instead of advantage, I'm just going to let them roll
normally as if they do not care that Cindy's unconscious.
That's in that 20. That's in that 20.
No way that's. Awesome.
Yeah, I don't know how that happened.
So you. Know how that happened?
It's because the dice are telling the story, that's why.
Yeah. Yeah.
So Cookie. So the axis is burned.
That's that's. Correct.
Yeah, give me the damage before I flavor. 5 + 6 is 11.
And did you add the crypt bonus to that?
Oh no. What?
It's just Max damage, whatever that would be. 2D12 would be 24.
And then plus 11. Yes.
OK, significant hit, a burn on Deoxys.
It's suffering from so many different status conditions.
Something about the situation. Maybe it's just because this is
the Hoennian home of the Dragons.
Who knows? Maybe it's because Renza
established a connection with Cookie, or Cookie is feeling
really determined because her beloved trainer is currently
unconscious and Cindy or Cookie doesn't know that Cindy is
struggling with death or not. So Cookie's feeling very
determined to make things right. It rolls up its tiny, tiny
little fist and it goes to strike Deoxys.
But Slew's arms are just so freaking short it just can't
quite reach. So Cookie focuses and
concentrates in with the will of her ancestors.
She also experiences an evolution.
Cookie begins to glow and become incredibly hot, and the size of
her body expands into a new creature that none of you have
ever seen clearly before. Before you is a Hoennion Gudra
and the lava magma goopiness of her arm trying to connect the
fire punch finally reaches out because of her new size and her
new evolution. You see a snail like monster
standing on 2 feet with two little arms on a longer sling,
slender neck with antennae coming out of the top and a
snail shell on its back. That is Kurt like just
constantly flowing magma in circles and spirals around of
it. In fact, the spiral of the shell
is like a magma swirl within its body and it connects the fire
punch with this brilliant deep red hue within its body and it
burns Deoxys. And Cindy does not get to
witness the evolution of Cookie. And she's going to come too and
be like, what the fuck? I think, you know, this is a
pretty dire situation for the Quacko Packo and some Pokémon
are really stepping it up, and they are, they're doing a great
job. So it's pretty cool to see.
You love to see it. That being said, I think that's
it for Cindy, correct? Yes.
OK, let's let's wrap up with Schmidt.
Schmidt, what are you doing? I'm setting my trap again.
OK. Walter's going to Burrow 5 feet
underground. Just maybe like stay close to
like where the axis is. If you could move 20 feet out of
Trevor's range and still be arranged to do pursuit if it
does something, that would be sick.
With Walter or with? With Walter, because then I have
potential to earthquake. Right now I cannot with Walter
and Gotcha. Gotcha, gotcha.
Because obviously he would get decimated.
Yeah, it does double damage to creatures that are submerged.
So. But if you're not within 20 feet
of Trevor then then you have 40 feet dash distance technically
so. Can I?
Can I do that? Can I move like Walter, like 20
feet maybe behind the axis? Yeah, just out of range of
earthquake. You totally can, Absolutely.
OK, yeah, that's where I I instruct Walter to go and then
I'm going to send out talent flame.
Oh, Meryl. Cheap.
Meryl. Cheap.
OK, yeah, we didn't see Meryl Cheap in a minute.
Meryl Cheap, What do you? I guess that's the action.
Yeah, that's the action. Yep.
OK. Yeah, Meryl Cheap hits the
field. Let's out a a Talon flame
screech and is ready for action. Very, very cool.
Is that it for Schmidt? That's it for Schmidt.
OK, we will wrap up pretty quick.
I understand a pursuit may happen, so I will be prepared
for that. But at the top of initiative, it
is once again Deoxys. Deoxys does not use a legendary
action for this, but rather a proper action of which, if you
haven't determined it has three for each of its forms to perform
a cleanse. It does not recover any hit
points, but all at once it removes its blindness, its burn,
all of its negative status conditions are washed away and
it resumes its focus. It's like an entire its, its
whole body is just covered in a, like a cell reforming machine.
And all of a sudden, if it's like it's not good to do, but it
is not suffering from any ailments.
Again, it's frustrated, it's angry, and it turns its
attention to the dragon of elders that have cornered it
from behind. Deoxys is going to request an
intelligence check as a psychic type from each of the elders and
each of their Pokémon. It has turned around, so I don't
know what this mechanic is for Walter, who's currently who's
behind it before. Yeah, I'm not flanking, but they
he hasn't made a like move yet. Right, No, he is requesting a
save from the dragon. It's but he is he's not
attacking currently. He did, he did a self cleanse
and I was requesting a save. So this is a pretty intense
save. Since it's not affecting any of
you. I'm not going to tell you what
the threshold is, but let's see what happens.
Great. Every Draconid and their Pokémon
failed to save except for Tomatomas Altaria.
The four Draconid elders collapse.
They just fall to the ground. The three Pokémon being
Tyrantrum Walker, Scarmory, and Gudra tilt their heads back and
they seem to have undergone some sort of trance.
They face forwards back to Deoxys, and their eyes are
completely different. They are completely different
looking, and they look entirely malicious, except for Altaria.
Deoxys uses its last action to turn back around to face
everyone else. It assumes A defensive form and
it plants itself into the ground.
