Introduction to Lunar New Year One-Shot
00:00:01
Speaker
Hey everyone, Evelyn here, and welcome back to the Lunar New Year one-shot on Mystery Dungeon A Path Through Time. This is part two, a series of unfortunate roles.
00:00:13
Speaker
Just a quick note before we dive back in. I had hoped to release this episode in February, just a few weeks after part one dropped on the sixth, but it's been a long winter, mentally and emotionally, and I needed time before I could finish editing this.
00:00:29
Speaker
This one shot's been sitting half finished for a while, and it means a lot to me. It was my first time ever DMing and a chance to share part of my cultural heritage through a story I really care about.
00:00:41
Speaker
Honestly, I'm super proud of how it turned out. So we're pulling part two out of the PTT vault after a long delay.
Release Delay and Patreon Announcement
00:00:50
Speaker
Fashionably late for Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
00:00:53
Speaker
But hey, it is still the year of the wood snake. Hopefully you're listening to this when it drops on May 52nd. The lightly edited raw audio for this miniseries has been up on my personal Patreon for a bit, along with bonus content like pre-show banter.
00:01:11
Speaker
I'll drop the link in the show notes if you want to check that out. And just a reminder, this one-shot is not canon to the main story of PTT, but it is part of the expanded universe I've been building through stories featuring Hikaru, Blair, and the rest of the crew.
00:01:26
Speaker
If you haven't heard part one yet, I highly recommend starting there. This episode picks up right where we left off, with the team about to face off against a wild cherim. But we'll kick things off with a recap, Avatar-style, to catch you up.
00:01:41
Speaker
And with that out of the way, let's dive right in.
Recap of Previous Events and Character Introductions
00:01:48
Speaker
Previously on Mystery Dungeon A Path Through Time. um My character's name is Briar. i cook flesh from my own body and serve it to you. Starting at 10th... Is it organic?
00:02:03
Speaker
I got a 20. Dirty 20 or nat 20? I got a natural 20. Here here you go. Have a whole filet. Oh yeah. On the house. I'm Micah and I'll be playing Blair.
00:02:17
Speaker
gonna slowly like reach out my claws to like touch the the ends of the dress. Hello there. How may i help you?
00:02:30
Speaker
ah yeah, my character's name is Kaida. Basically rhymes with s Skyda. Yeah, we've got... We should have everything down, Pat.
00:02:42
Speaker
Yes. Just tell them not to set anyone's tail feathers on fire this time, okay? course. Last thing we need is my troop-dooping stop, drop, and roll the remix. ah to You start to feel a rumble underneath your feet.
00:03:00
Speaker
And right in front of you, Kaida, the ground opens up and a giant silver steelix comes out of the ground. Everybody remain calm.
00:03:12
Speaker
This is your mayor. This is your mayor, Wong. Stay calm, stay safe. Don't panic too much. Everybody do the opposite percent of what the mayor said. No, I'm saying that. Everybody push and shove.
00:03:25
Speaker
You notice Hikaru elapsed on her face.
00:03:31
Speaker
Yeah, Blair is taking a claw, like picking her by the scruff her neck, like cat style. Whoa, did you see that big thing that came out of the ground? That was crazy!
00:03:43
Speaker
you got guys should talk to the mayor. I think he'll have a better idea of what's going on. Is there anything, like, about the Steelix that he could maybe help us with? Blair, you know about this.
00:03:57
Speaker
That sounds like Shang Long. Um... Yes, the the legend of Shang Long.
Craggy Mountain Exploration and Cherim Encounter
00:04:03
Speaker
Every... I believe it was started about a thousand years ago. It would rain terror among the the villagers here, destroying shops, injuring Pokemon.
00:04:14
Speaker
Maybe we should get together and go after So Bamboo Ridge is part of a mountain range called Dragon Spines. That might be where the Steelix went off to or came from.
00:04:27
Speaker
Maybe we could bait it with one of those tomato berry rice balls. Yeah, we get a bunch of explosives and put them in one spot and then we blow it up.
00:04:38
Speaker
Boom. I've got firecracker shells. You just put the blast seeds in and then when you're ready to use it, light the fuse and aim it at the target.
00:04:49
Speaker
Ooh. I'm gonna call this the big one. The big one. Just a big one. Kikaru actually runs up to you guys, carrying three pouches of um items.
00:05:05
Speaker
Take these! It's dangerous to go alone! Goddammit! it You walk over about a kilometer in the direction that the mayor pointed, and you see the entrance to a cavern.
00:05:22
Speaker
You also see a path that goes up the right side of the mountain. It is time to One, three.
00:05:33
Speaker
Roll
00:05:37
Speaker
So you are now in a dungeon called Craggy Mountain. So Diglett takes 38 damage and is knocked out.
00:05:49
Speaker
Okay, i check for a pulse. Am right? Like, it's... God spoke to me and God said... Man, Arceus told me to go right. wrong You hit the top right corner of the room, and there is a wild Pokemon there again.
00:06:10
Speaker
Charim. Or Charim. Play that Pokemon battle theme music! That I've totally been listening to this entire time.
00:06:27
Speaker
So we have here Cherim and it is indeed in... did we Did we decide what form it was in last time? We're trying to figure out if was like sunny, but I think it may or may not have been.
00:06:44
Speaker
It fully depends on the weather now. Yeah, it depends on if it's a sunlight or not for Cherim. Is it just sunlight or is it also like clear weather? In the games it's in the games it's harsh sunlight actually but this it can be used also in like natural sunlight.
00:07:01
Speaker
Okay. right. So it'll be in it's so the Charim is in its sunlight form. And I'm gonna Overcast form.
00:07:15
Speaker
Sunshine form. Okay. and One with a big yellow head.
00:07:20
Speaker
Okay, so... um Everybody got their dice ready? Yes. Yep, let's roll at speed. Alright, everybody roll for initiative.
00:07:32
Speaker
I see that and I can't find my dice. uh... Good boy. Give me ten seconds, have to go grab them, actually. I should have had them ready beforehand, but I didn't!
00:07:45
Speaker
This one... I'm so glad my dice are digital. ah Me too. Wow, okay, y'all have to rub it in Hey, it's a free... well, it's I mean, yeah, if you want to use it without the cool stuff, it's a free app.
00:08:02
Speaker
Yeah. If you want to have the cool stuff, I think it's no more than, like, five bucks. Yeah. For, like, the hand. The actual dice are cooler, because I actually paid... I paid good money to have little snow globes in my dice.
00:08:18
Speaker
Yeah, I'm a dice goblin too, but I don't have a tray. It also sounds more fun on the podcast. Yeah, because you can actively hear the rolls.
00:08:32
Speaker
I like that. That's not a sense of realism. yeah So what am I rolling? east Speed.
00:08:43
Speaker
I don't remember. oh oh that's right. It was weird. and Yeah, look at your sheets. Whatever your speed stat is. Yeah, it was an irregular number.
00:08:55
Speaker
Yeah, your D speed stat. Do you all hear that? No. OK, it's going to be home. I got 10 by my role again, just for the microphone to pick it up.
00:09:09
Speaker
OK. Was that any better? No. Why would just drop all my dice into it? Oh, hey. I got a 20. Huh, okay. You got 20?
00:09:21
Speaker
Weird. yeah It picked it up before. It's not a nat. I mean, like, it's out of 21, but yeah. Yeah, wonder if your, like, mic setting changed in between.
00:09:34
Speaker
i'll I'll look into it by God's head. Okay, so Blair got a 10 and cut ah Crystal, what did you roll for Kaida? A six.
00:09:46
Speaker
A six, okay. So I now have a nifty spreadsheet that lets that helps me keep track of the initiative order. And since Briar rolled a 20, she goes first.
00:10:00
Speaker
All right.
00:10:04
Speaker
So for me, I'm going to go with the poison jab.
00:10:12
Speaker
Poison jab on Cherim. Okay.
00:10:18
Speaker
Okay, so what does poison jab do?
00:10:24
Speaker
Well, literally in the in the real description or for the sheep? Oh, in the sheet. Okay, I actually got it up in front of me. um Okay.
00:10:37
Speaker
This is a 2d8 plus 10 for damage. And then it's like, roll d20 if a result effect roll foe is poisoned. Yeah, so you got roll for accuracy first. Result is greater than?
00:10:52
Speaker
I don't know what that means. Greater than or equal to. So for accuracy, you have to beat a six. And then you have and then you roll the damage dice. And then you roll for the effect.
00:11:03
Speaker
basically Basically, you're rolling to hit twice. I'm rolling to hit twice? Yeah. In a sense, to once to actually hit the move, and a second to hit your effect.
00:11:17
Speaker
And it was just... So it's like a d20 plus what?
00:11:24
Speaker
Your... No.
00:11:27
Speaker
So your accuracy... Your accuracy roll is a straight d20... And then your damage dice is 2d8 plus 10. All right, so it's just a straight d20? Yeah.
00:11:40
Speaker
Yeah. I rolled a nine. A nine, OK. Rolled a nine to hit? Yeah, that'll hit. And then got... Oof.
00:11:55
Speaker
It's
Battle in Monster House
00:11:58
Speaker
Burrow. I got a 24 for damage. is that okay Is that... okay.
00:12:08
Speaker
Is the 24 your 2d8 plus 10? Yeah. Okay. 24. 6 plus 8 plus... Okay, I'll do the... Okay, wait.
00:12:19
Speaker
So... um what's your attack?
00:12:25
Speaker
Attack stat?
00:12:30
Speaker
Uh, my attack stat is... and don't know if this is correct. In total stats or current yeah total stats? Total stats. Total stats, 23.
00:12:43
Speaker
23. Um, yeah. I'll do the... I'll calculate the damage after this, but, um, can you give me the effect roll? How do I do that? Just a d20? Another d20, yep.
00:12:55
Speaker
Okay. And try to hit over the effect number. We're at the effect number. So, look at the effects. What did you have to hit?
00:13:06
Speaker
I don't know. Uh... Effect roll? I should say... Yeah, like in the effect roll column. Um... Oh... Should be at the end if you scroll all way over. i'm looking at the... I... I wasn't prepared today. It's all good.
00:13:29
Speaker
I'm trying to grab I can't remember where the real sheet is. It's OK. I got it. If if you like you look at the move name, you got your type, your category, power. Yeah, I know that i'm I'm looking at the four point whatever sheet. I forgot where my three point, you know, my three point. she was and I can't remember which drive it's in.
00:13:57
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Website link. Huh? Are you using it on the go tab? I'm using it on Google Docs. Okay. Just check your drive then.
00:14:10
Speaker
Yeah, I'm looking. I unfortunately couldn't tell you the number. um Can you search for 3.3 in your drive?
00:14:23
Speaker
It's because i I opened it in two different emails, so i i can't remember which one is it it's in. I'm looking. Sorry. It's okay. I didn't think I would need that number right now.
00:14:38
Speaker
I have it if you want. Yeah. it Now that's example. It was a 15 effect roll. Yes.
00:14:49
Speaker
15? I guess I just beat it then. I got a 16. got a 16 and it had to be at least a 15. So so Briar lunges at the cherim and jabs it with her claws, makes a poison jab and it does 24 plus 23 that's 47 minus cherim's defense. Also a question.
00:15:13
Speaker
minus chair and fans also question
00:15:20
Speaker
Do we add in super effectiveness before or after defense? After. Yeah, how does that work? After? I have the sheet, by the way. and go okay yeah so go to be got the damage is going to be your damage dice plus your attack minus the foe's defense times the effectiveness.
00:15:42
Speaker
Alright, cool. Okay. So you did a good 52 damage to the cherim and it is knocked out. And the cherim's poisoned?
00:15:56
Speaker
It's down. Oh, it's down. Huh. Well, that was easy. Just one shot that boy. it He's dead. You killed him.
00:16:08
Speaker
Well, hold on. I wouldn't say he's exactly dead. You can do the thing, right? Yeah, I mean, of of course, Bloyer's gotta go check check the pulse.
00:16:20
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Resuscitate. Just in case. Like, see it's like, knocked out actually dead. Yeah, I mean, my little Briar's just like, yeah, I'm so strong.
00:16:36
Speaker
Okay. So what's going to be your role to check to check their pulse? I assume that would be medicine. Yeah, it was a medicine.
00:16:48
Speaker
I gotta go. That's a beauty roll. Okay. 14 plus 1 for a 15. 15. Okay. So with a full success, you're able to tell that the Charim is still alive.
00:17:03
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, him hard, but not enough to kill him. That's good. Yeah. I mean, in fact, Cherim's HP was 49, so he brought it down to... Briar brought it down to negative 3.
00:17:19
Speaker
So it's pretty well in the safe zone. Gotcha. I forgot, how did we do death again? um Negative their max HP.
00:17:31
Speaker
Gotcha, okay. Negative their max?
00:17:37
Speaker
Okay. Okay. Yeah. So the term is not badly beat up, it's just knocked unconscious. Oh, okay. Yeah. That's good. We don't need we all need murder here.
00:17:50
Speaker
What? That's not the first thing.
00:17:57
Speaker
you can be murdering anybody stares directly at Briar.
00:18:05
Speaker
Did you see how quickly it went down? That was so easy. Yes, but let's be sure not to take lives here. i mean, they might be away from society. They may be crazy or however these duches work exactly, but they are still people.
00:18:21
Speaker
I wasn't trying to kill him. know. I'm just saying future reference.
00:18:30
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:33
Speaker
Did the cherim have anything on them? Um... You're gonna loot the body, huh? Yeah, I'm gonna loot the body.
00:18:43
Speaker
Okay. I don't know how looting works. It wasn't holding, do you? Okay. Just pick up whatever it was holding. Oh, okay. Something? Yeah.
00:18:56
Speaker
So in this case, it did not have anything. Darn. Okay. Eh, it was worth a shot. Okay. Yeah. So... So you're back in the dungeon.
00:19:09
Speaker
um you guys are at um You guys are at the top right corner of the first room. um One step to your left is the entrance to a hallway.
00:19:20
Speaker
And actually, to make things easier, I'm going to make a change so that if you if you go left, regardless of how much you roll, you will stop at the hallway.
00:19:33
Speaker
What does that mean? Like, basically, I'm making umm making sure now that if you were to... If you roll if you roll enough steps to overshoot the hallway entrance, you'll but just end up at the hallway entrance.
00:19:47
Speaker
Oh, like, if we ran into, like, a... I'll see what that means. Yeah. Okay. So... I don't remember who was gonna roll next, but...
00:20:01
Speaker
I guess we'll go over wants to roll first, I guess. um The order or you talk about, like the order. Yeah, I don't remember what order is. It's Ida.
00:20:15
Speaker
I think it's kind of me and then Blair. Yes, I just I just found it. okay that was the role marching order. Yeah, I also don't remember who rolled last,
00:20:28
Speaker
so ready i know I don't mind. We could just start over. you Yeah, could just start over. Okay. We could start. So we'll start with Kaida.
00:20:40
Speaker
Roll a d6. Okay. Three. Three. Okay. Do you want to go... Do you want to go left?
00:20:52
Speaker
Yes. Okay. So... You start going left and after taking one step, you end up at the hallway entrance directly above, well, directly up from from you.
00:21:10
Speaker
So the next person to roll is Briar and you have the option to go up into the hallway or left, right or down? i got one and going to go up.
00:21:24
Speaker
Okay. So you make one step into the hallway and Blair, you are next. Alrighty. Where's my d6? There it is.
00:21:35
Speaker
That's also a one. I'm also going up. Okay. You take one more step. Beto, your turn. Here I go. Four.
00:21:46
Speaker
Four. Okay. So you take one step and you hit a wall and you now have the option So the hall there's a turn in the hallway, meaning you have you now have the option to go left, or you can go down, which is back the way you came.
00:22:02
Speaker
go left. Oh. um No, it's not your turn anymore. Oh, okay. So it is Briar's turn to roll. Me? Yes.
00:22:15
Speaker
Got another one going left. Another one going left. Okay. Getting a lot of ones right now. yeah Okay, Blair, your turn to roll.
00:22:26
Speaker
Well, that's not one, that's three. I also go the left. Okay, so you walk three steps to the left. Kyda, your turn again.
00:22:39
Speaker
two. A two. So you walk one step to the left, and there is another wall. And the hallway now points up.
00:22:51
Speaker
So the next person to roll is Briar, and you can you can either go up or you can go back ah you can go right, which is back the way you came. got a six, and I'm going up.
00:23:05
Speaker
Okay, you got a six. You start walking north, up the hallway. And after two steps, you end up in a room with lots of lots of items strewn across the floor.
00:23:22
Speaker
You start to walk further, but you're stopped when out of nowhere, four Pokemon dump out and ambush you.
Chaos with Nat-1 Rolls and Strategy Adjustments
00:23:35
Speaker
david i knew this was coming. Yeah, knew
00:23:41
Speaker
Monster house. Monster house. That's right. It's a monster house. Oh boy. Alright, he's ready to get pelted by Rockblast.
00:23:53
Speaker
and Who's ready to get rock blasted into oblivion? Also, Briar would definitely be like, it's a newish look out. Okay, so the four Pokemon are an Umbreon with red glowing spots, a Lunatone, Clefairy, and a Moona.
00:24:13
Speaker
You guys, before I start the battle, you guys have option to...
00:24:19
Speaker
see if you can glean anything about them. um So I'll give you the option between the choice between insight and nature. You said red spot Umbreon. Because I'm like, that's unique.
00:24:35
Speaker
A lunatone. What else was there? moona. A clefairy and a moona. Oh, clefairy. I could destroy her with like a double kick. Not anymore.
00:24:48
Speaker
destroy with like a fire move. Yeah, she'll go down. Yeah. Clefairy became a youre a pure fairy type. Yeah, it's a fairy type now. Yeah. No more normal typing, which is very scary for me, actually.
00:25:02
Speaker
Yes, it is. i think it's scary for me, too, but I don't know. Oh, you're neutral because you're poison. ah So you said insight or what? Nature insight or nature.
00:25:14
Speaker
ah one of you will nature. These are bad. Uh, but we each roll one, okay. No, no, one of you. Choose one to roll Oh! Um... Uh, I'm assuming that's gonna be Blair.
00:25:29
Speaker
I have a high nature roll. Okay. Uh, unless someone has a higher beauty or or a smart roll. My beauty's zero and mine is one is smart.
00:25:42
Speaker
Crystal, what's Kai the gut for beauty and smart? She has two, for human stats, two item catcher and then tough one item master.
00:25:53
Speaker
Is that what you mean? No, those are items. at human stats. ah Your smart stat, your abuse stat. What are those numbers? Oh, smart? like stuff Yeah.
00:26:05
Speaker
the The number. It's like a small number. He has this one escapist. Oh, you just want the human. Okay, one. Yeah. And what was the beauty? Yeah, two.
00:26:16
Speaker
Okay. Um... We can do either Insight or Nature. i can do Nature or can do Insight. Which one do you want to do? think an Insight. then Then you'll be rolling. Okay. Kaida, roll Insight.
00:26:31
Speaker
Okie doke. A six. Um, does that include your modifier? My modifier? Your beauty modifier. Yeah, if you're plus two for your beauty. Oh, no, it does not. So then eight. Okay.
00:26:44
Speaker
Okay, so with an eight, um I'm going to make that a mixed success. So bit lower difficulty class.
00:26:56
Speaker
um You can see that the Pokemon attacking your party are giving each other hostile looks. You can tell that they're not entirely coordinated. It's as if they see each other as threats, as well as you guys.
00:27:10
Speaker
I see. Okay. I have one quick question. We are... ah we're we're for sure going to combat, right? Uh, yeah. Unless... yeah unless one of you has the dedicated Traveler IQ skill.
00:27:25
Speaker
Dedicated Traveler? I... I have it. it What does that do? Uh, when traveling and someone tries start battle, uh, I can roll beauty if I succeed I can skip the battle.
00:27:40
Speaker
We can just walk by as if nothing happens. Hmm. Okay. Uh... But i assume we want fight so we can get the berries and whatnot.
00:27:52
Speaker
Want the item? is there if If we skip the battle, we'll probably skip the items too. Yeah, note that you're surrounded by four Pokemon and they're guarding the stairs, so you're not going to be able to get past them. I mean, yeah, that's the case.
00:28:10
Speaker
Okay. right. Everybody roll for initiative. And one more thing before I do so, can I roll my stat checker? um What what's stat checker?
00:28:22
Speaker
Stat checker, I roll smart. When i succeed, learn two of my photo stats. ah Sure. ah For this one, would I learn the two sets of each of them?
00:28:34
Speaker
Or if I yeah mix, I get one? I get one of each or just or just one Pokemon?
00:28:45
Speaker
You can learn the stats of... With a full six sets, I'll give you stats for two Pokemon, and with a mix, you'll you'll get one. Okay. i will Roll out smart then.
00:28:56
Speaker
Or my dice will fall off my table and go somewhere else. It'll go into the abyss. that That is also an option. Yeah, bounce off my dice tray, bounce off my drawing tablet, and now it just disappeared somewhere. Gonna fall into the back rooms.
00:29:13
Speaker
hey It decided not to be rolled. All right, here it is, got it. All right, that it's 14 plus two for another, for a 16. Okay.
00:29:24
Speaker
okay So so you can choose you can choose two Pokemon to get the stats to get their stats. OK, I would like Umbreon's defense.
00:29:39
Speaker
And OK, so yeah, I would like the Umbreon's defense. And let's see who's us might be a threat. I also want the moon of the special attack.
00:29:52
Speaker
Yeah, that is a threat. That's a huge. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I'm gonna die. Yeah, I can play competitive Pokemon. I know threats when i see them. I'm sorry. I forgot that I had four times weakness to Psychic. Oops.
00:30:07
Speaker
And look what we got from us. Psychic types. Fun. Wow. One Psychic type. What's better than one? Two. Because Luriton's Psychic rock. Oh, I forgot.
00:30:18
Speaker
Why am I forgetting? yeah Well, the good news is you're fighting and... Fighting beats rock. That's not... Well, then again, if she hits the Lutotone, it becomes neutral because Psychic resists fighting.
00:30:34
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Well, I can tell you guys that this battle is going to be interesting. So... Yeah. Totally. Meanwhile, Briar like, I'm in danger.
00:30:46
Speaker
I rolled my d20. That's not what I'm supposed to roll. There we go. Oh, you got a 16 for... You got a 16 for stat checker. Yeah. yeah So, Umbreon's defense is 26, and Muna's special attack, that's the other one you asked for, right?
00:31:07
Speaker
16? Yes. Muna's SP special attack.
00:31:19
Speaker
Is it 16? That's a pretty big... yes Yes, 16. Okay, cool. I have them written down in the voice chat if you guys want to see them.
00:31:30
Speaker
Yeah, I'm looking at them. and Now, I'm going to roll initiative for all four enemy Pokemon. Also, I rolled a six for my initiative. You rolled six for Blair?
00:31:42
Speaker
Yeah, I forgot to say that. Roll that Sorry about that. say about that Was too busy staring down my enemies to learn where their witnesses may lie. Got 17.
00:31:59
Speaker
Friar got a 17. Okay. And Kaida, what about you? A three. You got a three, okay
00:32:12
Speaker
And... Okay, that's all of you. i got a roll for my last enemy Pokemon.
00:32:24
Speaker
Ring-a-ding-ding. That's gonna be interesting. Okay. Yeah. Shoot. I guess if Briar's about to be hit by a second attack, she could try and jump behind Blair, because Blair is just like immune to it.
00:32:39
Speaker
Does that work? Is that a thing I can do? Can I actually take cover? What you could do is... i will let you roll acrobatics.
00:32:51
Speaker
Do that. Oh no, wait a minute. Is that Briar who wants to do that? Yeah. ae
00:33:02
Speaker
What's happening right now? We were talking like you dodging your attacks.
00:33:09
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Like, actually, is there a is not an IQ skill for that, actually. There might be. Yeah, IQ skills.
00:33:22
Speaker
Tool building sheets. Um, acrobatics. No, I can do that. OK. I got good acrobatics. OK. Are you guys ready?
00:33:34
Speaker
I'm ready whenever. I was just scrolling through IQ skills. Well, the good news briar for Briar is that you go first. Yeah. The bad news Luton and Muna are next.
00:33:48
Speaker
I don't know how good that is. happy how does using your IQ skills work? um it depends on It depends on the IQ skill, but I feel like I think most of them will activate you can activate once per battle.
00:34:02
Speaker
Okay, and does that like just take up my turn, or...? No. No? um Because I want to activate Quick Dodger. quick What is Quick Dodger? So Quick Dodger, once per battle, roll cool.
00:34:21
Speaker
Success, next two attacks to miss. Mix, next attack to you miss. Oh, well there go, there's your dodge. Technically that'll cost you 50 IQ points, but do you want it for free?
00:34:35
Speaker
I have it. Oh, you do have it. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, do you want to use it now? Yeah. Okay.
00:34:46
Speaker
That's not good. What's your roll? I rolled a six. I rolled a six. Okay. Well, better luck next time. Uh, cries.
00:35:00
Speaker
Cries and four times weakness. Anyway, ah the thing I would like to do is, um, I want use switcheroo on Umbreon. Okay, what does that do? so switcheroo, uh, switch a held item with foe. Okay.
00:35:23
Speaker
Okay. And I want to give Umbreon my Black Sludge. Okay. So, okay. You can do that. roll for accuracy.
00:35:36
Speaker
Oh. Uh... Or does it have accuracy? It does. If it's not new. Oh no, six. Yeah, so you have to beat a six. It's a six? oh Okay. Because I know some stats moves don't have... Oh my god, what is happening?!
00:35:50
Speaker
What now? I rolled a nat one! Oh wow. No. I'm having a bad... Dude, Briar's too terrified right now.
00:36:03
Speaker
Okay. She's getting jumped. She's getting jumped and she would try to......through and then fumble it.
00:36:14
Speaker
Hey. poor girl. With her shaky claws. Oh boy. Okay, so with a nat 1, you do fumble the switcheroo.
00:36:29
Speaker
Before you can throw your black sludge, it slips out of your hand and onto the floor.
00:36:40
Speaker
You can pick it up later you want, but that will cost you a turn. Okay. It could have been much worse. It hit one of us.
00:36:49
Speaker
But this is really, really bad. this is a terrible series of events. All right. It could have been worse. That's my turn. It could have been almost worse.
00:37:01
Speaker
Okay. And Umbreon will go next because Umbreon got a 16. And something interesting is going to happen because as you guys know, the Pokemon are not really all in sync right now.
00:37:20
Speaker
So I'm going to have Umbreon roll a d4. Out of four So Umbreon is going to use Moonlight, which, because its HP is full, it does nothing.
00:37:38
Speaker
And now Lunatone is next. And Lunatone is also, OK, Lunatone, is going to use Psyshock.
00:37:50
Speaker
But now have to roll another d4. We'll see what happens. Another question. Why did we say the rules were for Sucker Punch? ah Is Sucker Punch a priority move?
00:38:03
Speaker
Yes. i Yes, it's a priority move, but it only goes first if the attacker is using a move. Or is using an attacking move. Yeah, if the attacker is attacking.
00:38:14
Speaker
I'm not sure how we want to do that, because this is like a cho like a quad battle. I remember you had to like announce first, I think, that you're using Sucker Punch. Oh, okay.
00:38:27
Speaker
You had to like the Game Master know. Yeah. Okay. So do you want to use Sucker Punch now? No, I didn't announce it, so I won't use it.
00:38:39
Speaker
Okay. I'll let you know when it's the top of the initiative order again. Yeah. Okay. I think I was, I think Lunatone was going to use Psy Shock and it rolled a two, which means it is going to... It should just be like special attack and then you hit the defense instead.
00:39:02
Speaker
Okay. So Lunatone is going to attack Blair. Oh. Yep. I rip. You forget what type of move Psy Shock is.
00:39:14
Speaker
Oh. Oh, wait. I'm fully aware. No, you're fine. I was talking to Jay. No, I misheard. I thought that that she said prior. Oh. It's like, oh, never mind.
00:39:31
Speaker
So that's 2d8 plus 10 damage, which is 21, plus the Lunatone's special attack. Okay. um Blair, what is your special defense?
00:39:45
Speaker
Special defense? I thought Psy Shock hit ah normal defense. It's special. Wait. Yeah, Psy Shock is a special type of move that uses your special attack that hits normal defense.
00:40:01
Speaker
Oh, against normal defense. Yeah. Oh. Yes, it says that here too. Okay, so what's your defense? My defense is 20. it is immune, so you're going to take three damage.
00:40:18
Speaker
I think Blair braced herself for like something much worse. than Did get pinched? Someone pinched me. We'll pinch you. Okay, so he said he said three minus three.
00:40:32
Speaker
All right, cool. Yeah. Okay. It is now... lived one attack. Yeah, okay. It is now Muna's turn. Four.
00:40:48
Speaker
Muna is going to use Calm Mind, and that raises its special defense and special attack by two. Okay, and that ends Muna's turn.
00:41:01
Speaker
um Okay, Blair, your turn. Alright, cool. So everyone's still at full. one's got a hit yet. I'm gonna...
00:41:15
Speaker
a Actually, think the Lunatone's actually gonna be a bigger threat. I should've used my stat checker on that one, but... and what the heck, I'm gonna hit that one with a knockoff.
00:41:27
Speaker
Knockoff? Yep. The Lunatone. yeah. Does the Lunatone by chance have an item? um I will give it one now. Okay, I'm asking because that will change my power.
00:41:42
Speaker
I don't see anything for like extra damage, but maybe I think of the actual game. i guess it just loses the item then. Okay. Yeah, because in the actual game we are.
00:41:55
Speaker
It is more damage if you hold an item and it knocks off. Looks just knocks off the held item. um So yeah, power of seven. ah Okay, gotcha.
00:42:06
Speaker
um Forget everything I said, because that's another natural one. Oh my gosh. Forget everything I said. oh we're fumbling. We're not coordinated.
00:42:20
Speaker
Oh, so the nat one was your accuracy roll. Yeah. Yeah, i was I wanted to check for a effect roll before I did anything. um But yeah, none of it matters.
00:42:32
Speaker
yikes. Oh, yippee. Nat one party. Nat one party. Alright, so with a nat 1... Dang it, this is tough.
00:42:46
Speaker
Okay. This is tough because I want you guys to win, actually. Every time time. That's every However, i i have to I have to play by the rules that I made, so... Yeah.
00:43:04
Speaker
Don't feel afraid to play by the rules. Okay. So with a nat 1... Yeah, don't feel bad for us. We lose what happens. Um... MD rules, we go we show back up at the start.
00:43:18
Speaker
ah Oh man. But we lose our stuff? That's typically how it works. That or someone else will have to come get us. Or we die here. Uh, I mean... I guess we might die here.
00:43:32
Speaker
yeah Yeah, surrounded by strangers and any Pokemon that are probably will eat us alive or something. Who knows, we'll find out. Maybe. Well, if, you know, we're not a Caterpie, so I think we're not gonna get eaten alive.
00:43:47
Speaker
Mm. Sorry, Evelyn, go ahead. and
00:43:52
Speaker
We're not gonna talk about that! Okay. So... Oh my gosh. So, Blair, you take d4 damage, and that is your turn. Okay. Once again, Kevin, worse.
00:44:05
Speaker
Uh, two damage, okay. Okay. Um, so it is now Clefairy's turn. And reason so that was minus two. Okay. Okay, you got it.
00:44:19
Speaker
Um, so I'm rolling a D4 because they are actually, these Pokemon are actually attacking randomly.
00:44:28
Speaker
Okay. Three. So we use, so Clefairy uses Metronome.
00:44:38
Speaker
Everyone hold on to something. Oh my gosh. Okay. He's got a gun. Okay, and... It's gonna use... ro Light screen? Okay, light screen. Okay.
00:44:55
Speaker
Oh, okay. So, Fairy has used Light Screen, which means it's going to take half damage from special attacks for d6 turns.
00:45:08
Speaker
So let me roll that. Five turns. Okay. And now it is Kaida's turn. Luckily for us, we're all physical attackers, I'm pretty sure.
00:45:22
Speaker
I think. I got a four. You got a four? What were you rolling for? dude. No. What's happening right now? well hang ah Hang on, Crystal, what what were you rolling for? Isn't it my turn to roll?
00:45:36
Speaker
Or no? Yeah. Oh no, you're not gonna roll for accuracy. You rolled your- thought it was for accuracy. Yeah. ah but accuracy for one move. Oh, oh, oh.
00:45:48
Speaker
Um... It could be anyone, right? Yeah. yeah Yeah, you can hit anyone with any move. Um, I would say double kick. Okay. So double kick.
00:46:01
Speaker
Um, what does that do? So it's twice in one turn. how's that going to work? Oh, um, I'll let you roll.
00:46:11
Speaker
So for double kick, I'll let you roll two accuracy rolls. Okay.
00:46:17
Speaker
One. So no way. So with a nat one on your first double kick, you take D4 damage.
00:46:28
Speaker
What's going on? Three nat ones in a row. What are we doing? I don't know. got negative karma.
00:46:40
Speaker
All right, it's time to get so good. Okay. No one here is going to know what that means. Roll another accuracy check. All right. Wish me luck, everyone. but i you please I do.
00:46:54
Speaker
Kyana, please. Five. Five. Well, it's not Thank God. It's too bad. Right. It is. It's not a one. Okay.
00:47:07
Speaker
So we have gone through one turn. um It is the top of the initiative order again. And Briar, it is your turn. I will be using Sucker Punch this time. Okay, you're gonna use so you're going to use Sucker Punch.
00:47:21
Speaker
Yeah. On the Lunatone. On the Lunatone. Let me look up the priority for that. It's a plus one priority. Okay. um Okay, so Blair goes first.
00:47:35
Speaker
Yeah. I'm only going first if it's using the attack attacking move. If it's not using the attacking move, then I just don't hit. Oh. Okay. So let me let me roll for the Let me roll for the Lunatone then.
00:47:51
Speaker
If it's using an attacking move, then I use my attack. If it's not using an attacking move, then I don't use my move at all. Okay. So it is going to use an attacking move.
00:48:03
Speaker
Okay, so now I get a roll accuracy then.
00:48:07
Speaker
Okay, we hit! We hit! we We rolled an 8. It's still a low roll, but it beats the accuracy of a 6. All right, we're going to hit. OK, so so.
00:48:20
Speaker
So what's your damage dice? I'm going to roll plus 10. It's a one in a four or five plus ten for 15 plus my attack 27, which is 32. No, can't do math. That's 42.
00:48:35
Speaker
which is thirty no a catch math it forty you two 42 and you added your attack? It's 42 dark physical.
00:48:49
Speaker
Physical. ah Attack. Physical physical attack. Okay.
00:48:55
Speaker
Yeah. And is Lunatone is Lunatone weak to dark? Yes. Because psychic. Yeah. Rock and psychic. So rock doesn't affect anything, right?
00:49:07
Speaker
No, nothing here. Okay. Yeah. Okay. You're right about that. So, um, so you do super effective damage and that is 42. Yeah. So total that would be 84, but defense first.
00:49:24
Speaker
No, no, no. It was 20, it was 42 minus 21, which is 21 and then times two, which is 42 again. Oh, so it just, it evens itself out. Okay.
00:49:35
Speaker
Yeah. Huh.
Ongoing Battle Challenges
00:49:36
Speaker
Okay, cool. Okay. So, Friar, it is now your turn. Yeah, I'm gonna use, uh... I'm gonna use coaching.
00:49:57
Speaker
kind so So what does that do? It boosts attack in defense of a teammate. Oh. Okay. So am I leveled up? So how much to how much does it boost her attack?
00:50:11
Speaker
Ah, sh shoot. It doesn't say. i can look that up for you. ah I think in like the north like in the base game, it's like 5-1. Yeah, it's a plus one to both.
00:50:25
Speaker
But on the sheet, it doesn't say. Okay, so Kaida, add plus one. Two. um In the changes in battle column next to attack and defense.
00:50:36
Speaker
Got you. I can imagine Briar just like, after is everything unfolded, says, yeah, I'm good. it's Just jumps behind the kind of just, yep, you got this. Go ahead. Yeah, it's like, yeah, go. believe in you. It'll get me out here.
00:50:52
Speaker
Okay, so it is now Umbreon's turn. um Oh, and Crystal, from now on, um when since yourre since your attack and defense have changed, um from now on, when you're when we're calculating your damage, um you'll use the attack and defense stats under the current stats column.
00:51:14
Speaker
Okay. Okay, so Umbreon's turn. And Umbreon is going to use...
00:51:23
Speaker
Moonlight. So,
00:51:27
Speaker
well, that does nothing um because Umbreon's HP is full already. So and now it is Lunatone's turn. Umbreon's just chilling.
00:51:39
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know what's going on with Umbreon today. I told you they're randomly. cool for the moonlight. In the sun. Yeah. Okay.
00:51:51
Speaker
No, no, he's getting the moonlight off Lunatone. There you go. Oh my gosh, yeah. Basking in the Lunatone's moonlight. Okay, Lunatone is gonna go for a Psyshock.
00:52:05
Speaker
And it rolled. What the hell is this?
00:52:11
Speaker
Fire, you're doomed. Yes. No. I'm in danger. Uh oh. Okay. So the good news is that I still haven't done an accuracy check yet, so... has to be a six. Bad news is, if it hits, you'll probably get squished.
00:52:28
Speaker
If it's any consolation to you, if I would have attacked, it was a fourth nat one. Bullshit! I shit you not. What the hell?
00:52:41
Speaker
I rolled a nat one and a 19. wow Oh, wow. What's going on? It's going crazy. right.
00:52:52
Speaker
but Hit me, boss. What is it? Well, Lunatone missed. Oh. No. Rolled a three. Wow. All right. Okay. Um...
00:53:06
Speaker
Yes. We here on the Lunar episode may have said anything about paper skin and... We were born with glass bones and paper skin. Thank you. I forgot what it was.
00:53:21
Speaker
Every morning I break my legs. And every afternoon break my arms. Every morning I break my arms.
00:53:30
Speaker
a Alright, so it is now Muna's turn. Muna uses Calm Mind again. So it's special attack and special defense.
00:53:42
Speaker
I've gone up four stages and it is now... Okay, Blair, you already went. um Yeah, you skip over me. Okay, so now it's Clefairy's turn.
00:53:53
Speaker
And this is actually fun for me. Um... just Just use metronome. Clefairy must only use metronome. Clefairy use metronome. Clefairy use Ruhr of Time. Okay.
00:54:09
Speaker
Clefairy uses metronome again. all right, everybody. Hold on to something. oh God. What the heck is this?
00:54:20
Speaker
No way. Was she exploding? Yeah. Wait, no, did it literally use explosion? Did she just use explosion? ah No, it's going it's going for a mega horn. That's not good either.
00:54:37
Speaker
Oh, that's not good. Well, actually depends on who she hits, but still. Yeah, I mean. That's a bug move. Well, you just hope it's gonna create.
00:54:49
Speaker
And Lunatone is gonna go for Kaida. Okay. Okay, so... It's okay, it's a bug move on fire type, you're okay. still have to roll up.
00:55:00
Speaker
Doesn't bug get fighting? Uh, fire resists bug. I'll burn you alive. i don't actually know there's an interaction between fighting and bug though.
00:55:13
Speaker
Besides that bug resists fighting. I think it's too one way. That's not logical, because technically you could step on a bug. I mean, you you think a karate mouse would want like step on bug?
00:55:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:32
Speaker
So Clefairy rolled ah seven. It had to beat a nine, so that'll miss. Okay. Kaida, you're up. Who? Kaida's up.
00:55:44
Speaker
Okay. I want to say just for the funny, leave the Clefairy alone. my gosh. Oh my god. Whoa. We'll leave the Clefairy for last. Just keep letting it best though
00:55:59
Speaker
us betronome. Gosh. Imagine that Clefairy uses War of Time next. Gosh, imagine if Clefairy used Zen Headbutt.
00:56:11
Speaker
In-hit dark type? Four. You rolled another four? What are you hidden? You should announce the move first.
00:56:23
Speaker
Oh, the move? Okay. yeah You should um flame typically say what you're doing. You should say what move you're using and if it has to target who you're using it on. And then roll. Oh. the I guess, okay, so flamethrower on the I don't know that would be effective, but like I guess Clefairy, that's not going to there. On the Clefairy, okay.
00:56:47
Speaker
So flamethrower on the Clefairy. um Did you roll accuracy yet? Or you reroll? Well, I wanna reroll now. Okay. You can reroll.
00:57:00
Speaker
Oh a one. A one. Five! We got five! What What's going on? We got five nat ones, bro! Nat one, count them. Can I reverse? like I had a four last time. And I rerolled and got a one.
00:57:17
Speaker
Right, because your last roll didn't count. So... For what it's worth, if your status move... um If you don't have you don't have any status moves, like, if all of your role if all of your moves have accuracy checks, then I don't mind if you roll accuracy first.
00:57:34
Speaker
But i don't I just don't want you to, like, roll accuracy and then decide if you're going to use a move with an accuracy check. Or, like, role decide which move to use based on the accuracy check.
00:57:46
Speaker
So... Okay, that's fair. that's why i was That's why I was saying like do the move first, but yeah. The move first, yeah. Okay. I'll remember that for like my next my next go.
00:57:57
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Okay. So, you take d4 damage.
00:58:04
Speaker
And it is now the top of the initiative order again. So, does anybody want to use a priority move this turn? ah I'll be fine.
00:58:16
Speaker
Okay. Am I the only one with a priority move? Yeah, I think so. I think so, yeah. and Okay. Yeah, I'm going to use something else. So, go ahead.
00:58:28
Speaker
Okay, so, Friar's turn. Okay, um, both once nothing's working. Uh... Self-destruct.
00:58:41
Speaker
Oh, boy. boy. We should all have a secret 6th move that is just self-destruct. i ah I would like to use a ah firecracker shell. Alright.
00:58:56
Speaker
So how do I do that? Wait. So a firecracker shell that has 5 blast seeds in it. Yeah. Let us... I'm just what a blast seed does.
00:59:09
Speaker
ah d ten Deals damage, yeah. Okay, well, so you'll get to roll 5d10.
00:59:21
Speaker
And I want to use it on the Moona? On the Moona.
00:59:29
Speaker
Also, does this have like a ah check it has to beat, or is it a special type move? Do I like throw it, or...? Shoot. What did we decide about th throws? Yeah, you have to throw.
00:59:42
Speaker
Okay, yes, this is gonna be a throw. Fuck. ah Oh my gosh. Okay. It's okay. Is that your dice? Oh, that.
00:59:54
Speaker
Which one? Oh no. that i just found that on the internet because that's the vibe right now. Yeah. Those stats do exist, I really wish I had yeah I don't have one of them.
01:00:08
Speaker
I've seen them in stores. Okay. So, what do I have roll? you roll- So, to throw an item, you roll your choice of Athletics or Acrobatics.
01:00:20
Speaker
Oh! That's both good. Let's just hope it's not a 6-nat-1. I swear, if it somehow it's 1, this is Oh my god Wait. j j no j Oh no. Don't say it. Don't say it. It's not an one. okay It's bad.
01:00:46
Speaker
is it? So that's going to be an eight plus three. Eleven? Yeah. that what you got? Is that your accuracy?
01:00:57
Speaker
Uh, cause I'm using, uh, using athletics, acrobatics, they're both the same number. Okay. plus three on both, so 11. And that'll hit.
01:01:10
Speaker
Oh my god. Okay. She broke the, this like, crazy curse that we were going through. She broke the nat one with two ones.
01:01:22
Speaker
Uh, I mean, yeah.
01:01:26
Speaker
But, um, alright, so I gotta roll a ton of D10s. Actually, um, I'm gonna change this, actually. Um, you'll roll, um, you'll roll 5 D10s, but I want you to give me every- i want you to give me all of the rolls.
01:01:44
Speaker
Individually. Okay. There's a reason for that. Okay. So, uh, I'm gonna list them in order.
01:01:55
Speaker
One? Yes.
01:02:03
Speaker
So from left to right, the way this is gonna work, way the firecracker's gonna work is, from left to right, The enemy Pokémon are standing basically ah in like a circle, a semicircle around you. So Umbreon, then Lunatone, and then Clefairy, and then Muna all the way on the right.
01:02:23
Speaker
So the first three rolls are going to determine how much damage Muna takes. So that'll be 17 damage.
01:02:36
Speaker
Your fourth roll...
01:02:39
Speaker
is gonna determine the Pokemon that is... The Pokemon to its left is gonna take that amount. So Clefairy takes four damage. Which is the first time it has ever taken damage in this battle.
01:02:51
Speaker
And because there's no Pokemon to Muna's right, the the fourth, the fifth roll doesn't do anything.
01:03:02
Speaker
It's as if like, it's as if the the blast radius is like one tile and there's just nobody on the other. There's just nobody on one side of it. Okay, so that's your turn, I suppose.
01:03:14
Speaker
It is now Umbreon's turn. um Now Umbreon. Okay. What is Umbreon gonna do? Moonlight.
01:03:30
Speaker
No, this time it got a one. It's gonna use... Oh. It's gonna use baby doll eyes. What?
01:03:42
Speaker
I know Eevee gets that, but yeah.
01:03:48
Speaker
And it is going to... it is going to use... It's always the attack. It's going to use it Kaida. Yeah. I know, I'm always the attack. Um...
01:04:01
Speaker
It needs to roll accuracy. And do the six. It got a 10. um So, so Kaida, lower your attack by two points.
01:04:16
Speaker
Okay. And this puts, during the next turn, Umbreon will be at the top of the initiative order. Okay, because it's a priority move, right?
01:04:29
Speaker
I suppose, ah some and That's just like what it says in this thing. It's fine, we'll make it work. Yeah, okay. So, Lunatone is gonna...
01:04:47
Speaker
Lunatone is gonna use Rock Slide. Okay, that was a worrisome one, depending on who it hits.
01:04:55
Speaker
It is going to use it on Blair. Okay, that's the one I was hoping not to hit. But okay. Okay.
01:05:07
Speaker
Accuracy roll. It got a three, so that'll miss. Okay. um That that won't actually could have been bad. Yo. This whole battle is crazy.
01:05:20
Speaker
It's a battle that misses. This weird. We got minus luck today. Yeah, on both sides the field. Okay. Muna is next.
01:05:35
Speaker
And it uses magic coat. Okay. I forgot what that one does. It's, um... I don't know. Is it just a magical coat?
01:05:47
Speaker
Yeah. um So that reflects moves that cause status conditions back to the attacker. Ohhhh. That's not good. No, but that's status conditions. is it Does that also include like the effect rolls?
01:06:03
Speaker
Yeah, does it include effect rolls? Or just like actual status moves? Effect rolls. Okay, okay. Okay. Did we get through one? We got through a whole turn, right?
01:06:17
Speaker
I think... through turns? don't think so. we're We just got to... Muna. We just got to Muna. Yeah. Okay. So I think it has been two... I think it's been two turns since Clefairy used light screen.
01:06:34
Speaker
Yes. It'll be on turn three now.
01:06:39
Speaker
This is turn three. I should actually write that down. Yes, it is now turn three. and There you go.
01:06:47
Speaker
Okay. And it's now Blair's turn. All right. um Let's see I'm still gonna take out that lunatone that lunatone is still scaring me ah ah has' It hasn't done anything yet, but it can standing there menacingly He's just standing there menacingly Anyways Yeah ah Knock off Org is stuck in my day's tower
01:07:25
Speaker
I'm not using knockoff again. I'm not using knockoff again. Is it because you missed? With another natural one. my gosh, six.
01:07:36
Speaker
We've gone to six. What is happening? Is this because I did a bunch of test rolls earlier? Did I roll all the luck out of today? I don't think that's how it works.
01:07:48
Speaker
I don't know. rolled a of dice earlier. For Jay, her luck is really weird. I can tell you that much. Oh, that's it. My special ability is kicking in. I'm affecting all the dice rolls on the field.
01:08:03
Speaker
oh but ah I can't do that as another natural one for my knockoff. I don't know what's going on. Wait, so Blair, countered six Blair not one. Okay.
01:08:16
Speaker
Again, yes. Okay, so you take four damage and okay it is now a fairy's turn. Alright, another three. Okay. Oh my god.
01:08:29
Speaker
What's going on today? I thought you wanted to win, but like... Don't cry for me. I'm already dead.
01:08:39
Speaker
oh shit. Okay. Clefairy is going to use... Clefairy is going to use Disarming Voice on Kaida.
01:08:54
Speaker
Now, Disarming Voice always hits, but there's still a crit roll. But who's it hitting? does it hit everyone?
01:09:05
Speaker
Okay, okay. Sorry, missed that part. so roll for crit. I think it's still, I think it has to be a 20. Yeah. Yeah, ah moves that don't check accuracy, for the most part, have this normal crit range.
01:09:23
Speaker
I think the one exception is Flower Trick. Okay. So this is not a crit. It is... Whoa. plus 6, and it got 8. So 14 plus fairy's special is 32. Yeah. So what is Kaida's special defense?
01:09:37
Speaker
so fourteen last fairies ah attack is thirty two
01:09:48
Speaker
um so what is kda's special defense Special defense, it is a six. Okay, minus, yeah. So 26.
01:09:59
Speaker
Okay, yeah take 26 damage. What? Me? Yeah. you Yeah, you already take away from a special defense, okay. is This is kinda like, how much HP do you have?
01:10:16
Speaker
Yeah. How much HP do I have? I'm still sitting pretty near full. i hope it stays that way. Okay. So since Umbreon... Umbreon's gonna go first now.
01:10:28
Speaker
Since it used a priority move that I didn't know was a priority move. Yeah. It's fine. It's working out. Yeah. Okay. So... Umbreon is going to use...
01:10:44
Speaker
Moonlight. His HP is still full, so this does nothing. He's just taking nap, that's it. Yeah. You guys thought you were unlucky. Well, Umbreon's unlucky. No, no, no. Umbreon is just a dog sitting in the sun.
01:11:00
Speaker
Aww. Except it's like, it's like, except ah this Umbreon's sitting directly under Luotone. This Umbreon is taking a vacation. Yeah.
01:11:12

Speaker
Alright. I'm gonna try something different. you want to pick up your Black Sledge? This turn? yeah That takes up my entire turn though, doesn't Yeah. It does, but if you... It does, but if the battle ends, you can just pick it up again at the end of the battle.
01:11:41
Speaker
Okay. I'm like really tempted to pick it up. But um... Hmm. I'll pick it up. Okay. So, that ends your turn?
01:11:54
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And now, okay, Briar's turn. Lunatone? my god, what is going on? Okay.

01:12:59
Speaker
And it's.
01:13:02
Speaker
Yeah, I guess I have to do three enemies, ah one after another this battle. That's what I get for giving you guys a monster house. Fine.
01:13:15
Speaker
Okay. None of us wanted this. You're only one who wanted this. i don't think anyone wanted six net ones. I'm going to be honest. All right.
01:13:28
Speaker
Okay, Moona is going to use magic coat, which fails because it already has magic coat status. She you just wants to put
Strategic Item Use and Tactics
01:13:38
Speaker
another coat on. Yeah, she puts another magic coat on. It's like she's going to... It's just it's like more stylish than the previous one.
01:13:46

Speaker
um Imagine that's how it actually worked in-game. Magic coat and a light screen. Yeah. You just got like a fresh pair of shades and just a new new like flashy pink coat.
01:14:15
Speaker
Oh, it's Barbie style. right. It is Blair's turn. All right.
01:14:24
Speaker
um Yeah, we're going to try this Knock off. Don't fail me, please. i got two natural ones on knockoffs thus far in this combat.
01:14:35
Speaker
Please don't make this three. and Come on, dude. Keep dropping off the table. Use your luck point. lum
01:14:45
Speaker
It's a nine. It's a nine. We hit the move. We're pushing that Lutone in the face. So, a tie.
01:14:58
Speaker
One. Okay, so that is four plus 10 for 14 plus my attack staff, 27. All together, that's so forty one dark biscyclicle 41 dark physical damage.
01:15:14
Speaker
Yes. Okay. So, minus... Yeah, I'm not hitting very high here, but it's still good damage nonetheless. Lunatone's weak to dark.
01:15:26
Speaker
Okay, Lunatone takes a whopping 40 damage, and it is knocked out.
01:15:38
Speaker
Oof, okay. ah Do I do certified CPR before or after? Specifically when I'm about to die. So no, he's knocked out but not dead.
01:15:49
Speaker
Right. Lunatone is alive. Okay, cool.
01:15:57
Speaker
So that, so Blair, that was your turn. um Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay. um Lunatone...
01:16:08
Speaker
is dead or is downed. Monatone is down. um It is now Clefairy's turn. Clefairy is going to go for... Splash.
01:16:24
Speaker
What? Awesome. The description here says, doesn't do anything. Roll 10d100 and sum. If sum is greater than or equal to 999...
01:16:36
Speaker
nine ninety
01:16:42
Speaker
Then you just explode the universe to win the game. i can't remember which one was. and think it was like you win the game. You win the campaign. are yeah Are you actually rolling that? I'm just going to short circuit and roll a... going roll the first D100.
01:17:02
Speaker
And we got a 50 on the... We had to roll like 10. 56, so... Yeah, we're done. Okay. Um, um, Kaya's turn.
01:17:14
Speaker
Okay. So I'm gonna roll for, um, I pick a move, right? Wait a second. Wait a second. What's your HP? Um, 17. 17 out of what? well, this based at 17. Oh, 43.
01:17:26
Speaker
seventeen out of what um all well this is hp sta yeah seventeen oh forty three 43 is your max HP?
01:17:40
Speaker
Yes. So, um do you have do you have the Blaze ability? I do. Okay. Well, you still have about 40% your HP left, so it won't activate this turn.
01:17:58
Speaker
Keep that in mind. Okay. Okay. Okay, so out of the others, i could choose ah i could choose my the moves like double kick, close combat, flamethrower, flame charge, correct?
01:18:12
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, so I'm going to go with flame. We'll go with flamethrower again. but Actually, wait a minute. Wait, let me go with close combat, actually, a fighting move.
01:18:26
Speaker
Okay, which one are you going to use it on?
01:18:31
Speaker
So you have Clefairy, Muna, and Umbreon. was gonna say Muna. Muna is Psychic type. Okay, so that won't work. The Umbreon has not taken any damage yet.
01:18:43
Speaker
Alright, let's go with... but is that Fire type? No, he's a Dark type. But he's got... Doesn't he have a high defense?
01:18:56
Speaker
Did I give you guys Umbreon's defense? Uh, I asked for it. It was 26. Yeah. Is that high? that's That's pretty high.
01:19:07
Speaker
That sounds high. Because Umbreon's usually a tank. Yeah.
01:19:15
Speaker
Umbreon's been a sitting duck this whole battle. I mean... just sleeping. We're not complaining. He's having a good time I'm not complaining. I'm just like, yeah, no, you do you, bro. You take a siesta. Yeah?
01:19:27
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Umbreon's taking a nap ah Muna is going down the runway. just weird. Clefairy's going to explode every minute any minute now. And Luto's dead.
01:19:39
Speaker
I'm just waiting for like the moment that they like open their eyes and it's like the red glowing eyes and then they're just like, all right, we're gonna sweep. but Yeah. So, I'm just set up to sweep.
01:19:53
Speaker
do you want to use close combat on?
01:19:57
Speaker
mean, embryon. Embryon, okay. um So, roll for, let's, let me look this up.
01:20:09
Speaker
Just commat.
01:20:12
Speaker
Oh, okay. Roll for accuracy, you have to beat a six.
01:20:17
Speaker
Wish luck. Also, when you say the Umbreon had red spots, was that the red rings or like actual red spots? The red rings. Okay, so now we got it.
01:20:30
Speaker
So far we have a blue Umbreon and a yellow Umbreon, now we have a red one. Mm-hmm. Yep. They're on 11. You got 11? Oh boy, that's gonna hit, I think.
01:20:43
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, roll 3d12 plus 10. Would you say plus add 10 to that? Yes. Yes, plus 10. So like 21? Hold on one second, let me look at the... Oh, I get it. Okay, the damage. Okay. 3droll, so that's like 11 plus 10. So that's like 21,
01:21:06
Speaker
So what what what were your rolls? Yeah, was 11. 11. And then it's 10. Or am I missing something, too? ah Yeah, so you have to roll D12 again two more times.
01:21:19
Speaker
you know Okay, two more times. Okay, got it, got it. Okay. All right, so the first one 11. No. The second one was 2. Third one is 3. Okay.
01:21:32
Speaker
three 11 out of 12 is pretty good.
01:21:41
Speaker
So that's 26 base damage. um Plus your attack. so So my attack right now, well, it's a seven currently.
01:21:54
Speaker
Is it a seven? and Should be a seven. What column are you looking at? Current stats? hello Column B base stats. Oh.
01:22:05
Speaker
No. um You should be looking at total... So go to the right of that. Go to column... total stats. Yeah. Oh, J.
01:22:16
Speaker
19. 19. Okay. I
01:22:22
Speaker
hope we haven't been doing the math wrong this whole time, but no matter. It'll be fine. Yeah. Umbreon takes 38 damage. and it is down to less than half of its macx max HP.
01:22:38
Speaker
It is now Briar's turn. Alright, I want to use a Citrus Berry on Kaeda. Okay.
01:22:50
Speaker
And I have a Wise Healer. Can you tell us what that does? Which is real tough when using HP recovery items.
01:23:02
Speaker
or moves roll to item move result D20
01:23:13
Speaker
Okay so how does this work? I like I roll... So like for tough do I roll like a D20? Uh yeah D20 Okay that's I mean that's good because I rolled the 15
01:23:32
Speaker
Uh, so that would be 18, 15 plus 3. 18. And then the amount that I rolled for the citrus berry healing is 14.
01:23:47
Speaker
Which is, uh, 14 is in 10. Okay. Wait, so what does a citrus... It's, uh, heals d20 plus 10 HP. Okay.
01:24:01
Speaker
Okay. So that was a 14. So 14 total. And then what does was it healer or something? have wise healer. So my tough role was like 18.
01:24:17
Speaker
Oh, OK. um But what does that do?
01:24:25
Speaker
I add roll to item roll to the result. Oh, so you add 18. okay Yeah, I add 18 to the 14. Okay.
01:24:37
Speaker
So, Kaida, add back 32 HP. Yay! Thank you! I'm fine! Was that from the citrus berry?
01:24:48
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I rolled bad on it, but luckily I have the wise healer, so it worked out. Yay, you're the best! I'm excited. What's Blair's HP?
01:25:01
Speaker
Lair? Yeah. She's lost like an aid. She's fine. you're fine. Yeah, don't worry about And that's my turn. Yeah, that ends your turn.
01:25:15
Speaker
um Crystal, does that bring does that bring your HP above the max? Yes, it does. Okay, so if that's the case, just put it just but it back to the max. Okay.
01:25:26
Speaker
So you can just clear out the changes in battle column or field for hp Oh! And um because you used close combat last time, um you also need to... You also need to take defense and special attack... No. You need to... um your Your defense and special defense go down by two.
01:25:51
Speaker
Okay. And it is now... Wait, special attack and special defense, you said? Defense and special defense. Gotcha.
01:26:01
Speaker
Okay. Okay. Muna's turn. And Muna is going to use...
01:26:14
Speaker
Moonlight. um Okay. I don't know how much this does, but... I'm gonna... I'm gonna... Okay, so Muna is gonna restore d twelve
01:26:30
Speaker
Okay. Blair, you're next. Alrighty. How's everyone looking? Mina just healed.
01:26:42
Speaker
Is the umbral even okay?
01:26:47
Speaker
So it's the Muna. It's the Muna and the Clefairy. um um
01:26:55
Speaker
What effects does the Muna still have? It still has magic
Critical Hits and Final Challenges
01:27:00
Speaker
coat. Magic coat, okay. Um... In that case, I'm just gonna... I'm gonna hit the Muna with a slash.
01:27:15
Speaker
With a slash, okay. Yes. Hopefully I'll hit with a crit. Because this is high critting move. Crit fishing. Okay. Crities!
01:27:29
Speaker
Okay, roll practice. 17! Alright. 17 on the die, that's a crit. Yeah, was like, don't you crit on 17? Okay, do you have a higher crit?
01:27:40
Speaker
Yeah. So let me let me specify. Because of my build, i crit on 16s, 17s, 19s, and 20s.
01:27:52
Speaker
Okay. specifically if I'm using a high crit move. um But yes, that will crits. a They'll do 2d6 plus 10. Oh wait, no, it's a max damage that plus the other 2d6, right?
01:28:09
Speaker
That's how it works? Plus the other 2d6? Yeah. Okay, yeah. So, it's a six plus, six plus, I just maxed out on damage, okay.
01:28:23
Speaker
So yeah, um six I got two 6s on the dice, plus the extra D6, which is maxed out for those 6. It's 18 total, plus 10 for 28, plus 27 is... 55 in total.
01:28:40
Speaker
Okay. Yes, 55 normal physical damage. five fifty five fifty five tall for yes fifty five normal physical damage Wow.
01:28:55
Speaker
Yep. Okay. Max damage crit. hey So, Moona takes 38 damage. Oh! And it's down.
01:29:07
Speaker
Okay, there we go, finally. Bouncer off the ground like a basketball.
01:29:19
Speaker
Spike the Lunatomani, Spike the Moona. Yeah. Do you want to check its pulse? ah Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Uh, mess and roll.
01:29:31
Speaker
14 plus 115. Okay. So, so Muna is also still alive.
01:29:44
Speaker
Okay. It ended up with negative 4 HP, so it's just, barr it's just, uh, knocked out. Gotcha. And now it is Clefairy's turn.
01:29:55
Speaker
All right. Clefairy is hopefully not gonna use metronome again, but- That'd be funny. That'd be funny if they used it again.
01:30:07
Speaker
Moonlight. Okay. okay Do they all have moonlight? No, specifically Umbreon and- Umbreon and Clefairy.
01:30:21
Speaker
Oh my god, i just gave them- Oh my god, um... I-I-I gave like three of them Moonlight but because I took their movesets off of Bulbapedia.
01:30:32
Speaker
That wasn't even- my gosh. Oh no. Okay, um... They were randomly generated.
01:30:47
Speaker
Oh, okay, Clefairy's back to full. I just turn. Okay. Also my fingers on this one. Alright, so Moon is down, Luton is down.
01:31:02
Speaker
ah got the psychic types out of the way, so Briar should be fine. ah Unless the Emperor has psychic. I doubt it.
01:31:14
Speaker
Okay, so let's see. What's over there down? um I'll use Flame Charge. Which is a fire type. Okay.
01:31:24
Speaker
And that will boost your speed too, so Yeah. are you gonna use it on? You have Umbreon,
01:31:33
Speaker
Umbreon, which is down to a little bit less than half, and Clefairy, which is at full HP. There are two options. Okay, so it's not... Fire is not effective against Psychic at all.
01:31:46
Speaker
no it's It's neutral, actually. Clefairy is... Clefairy is very tight.
01:31:59
Speaker
But I think it's still normal. Still neutral. So honestly... For Fairy? Shouldn't Fairy be weak to Fire? Fairy Fire but Fairy, when hitting a Fire-type,
01:32:12
Speaker
fire is neutral to ferry but veryy when he a fire ti Uh, fire types resist. Yeah.
01:32:24
Speaker
Clefairy is weak to poison and steel. Yes. It's just poison and steel? Yeah. Oh. Okay. Who's the bug?
01:32:37
Speaker
Um... No, um, Clefairy used... Clefairy used metronome, which became a bug type move. Oh, oh, okay. No.
01:32:50
Speaker
Okay, so I'll just use it on Clefairy then. Okay. Alright, roll for... Making a gamble on that one. Roll a 10. Okay, that'll hit.
01:33:04
Speaker
And then D8 plus 8. um Okay, so 8 sides. Oh dang it. A 6. And then... 4. Okay.
01:33:16
Speaker
So 14 plus your physical, that's a 1d8 plus 8. So that'll be 14 plus your attack. Yeah, 1d8 plus 8. What does that mean again?
01:33:28
Speaker
You roll a d8. No, yeah, roll a d8. Okay.
01:33:34
Speaker
I did, yeah, I did, and I forget what that number was. But anyway, um yeah, also the first time I did that, it was a 6, and the second time I rolled it, it was 4.
01:33:45
Speaker
Okay, i took your i took your first roll, so six plus eight it is 14. And then add your attack. Right, and the attack, it says here a four. No, no, your attack is, I don't i i don't know why your attack is four.
01:34:00
Speaker
um What cell are you looking at? Which column? For C, under moves, it says four, for total. Oh, that's your level up bonus.
01:34:11
Speaker
Okay. Go all the way to the right, current under current stats. Okay, so under attack, roll the column for current stats, it says 19. 19.
01:34:23
Speaker
nineteen So 14 plus your attack is 19.
01:34:38
Speaker
16. So Clefairy takes 16 damage. And, ooh. Okay, things are going to get interesting.
01:34:48
Speaker
Okay. So it is the start of it is the start of your next turn. However, all of you start to feel a rumbling in the ground.
01:35:01
Speaker
Oh, yep. Here it comes. Oh, and firework. Yeah. And in front

01:35:31
Speaker
Yeah, although, gosh, dude, Ryor would just be like, can't believe this is happening right now. I thought we would have at least gone to the end of this, maybe before he shows up, but no, he's just here.
