Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
It's a baby Yog-Sothoth! It's got too much clock to be Cthulu, can't be Shub-Nigurath due to lack of goat hooves, and isn't Nyarlathotep because Mark and Mina aren't part of a death cult now (... I think.) Might be a baby King in Yellow, but Hastur usually wears that robe and we didn't perform the play that summons him...
To be fair Coastmarch seems to be too, but we haven't been kicking the hornet's nest in that direction.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
Don't worry old man, Mark is definitely going to trip over his own feet and/or eat both of his shoes, which should give you a chance to catch up with your walker. Or maybe he'll just be back from the store before you get your shoes on, and save you the whole trip!
Edit: Also... technically Mina wasn't the one that set fire to the blender. She didn't stop it from igniting, though, and was hospitalized for smoke inhalation...Last edited by Gnomes2169; 2024-05-12 at 08:18 AM.

Mark used Flirt! It's not very effective. He hurt himself in his confusion...

Hey KI is the damage for that snarl correct? If so, ouch. I was hoping for more at +2.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
I’ll double check against the old Battle Tab.
EDIT:
Tentatively, it looks like STAB got broken at some point.
Lord Ruby, esscee, ignore the last round until I give the all clear and I’ll redo them.
Okay, I believe everything has been sorted. What was happening was that the new tab was only checking one of the type columns, so about half the attacks that should have been getting STAB weren't. Yell if anything still looks off.Last edited by Kareeah_Indaga; 2024-05-18 at 09:05 PM.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
Lord Ruby I hope you’ve got a solid plan or you’re going to lose this.
Tangent, since the Expert Belt gives a 20% boost I probably should have used the Gen V implementation of the Metronome. 🤔 Maybe for next time!

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
Well, I have a plan, I'm not sure that I would call it solid though.
In furtherance of said plan, two questions.
1. Can Less tell what ability this Dewgong has by scanning with his Pokedex? If I need to spend a turn doing that Less will have Buck protect while he figures out that information. If not that's okay too. I've been assuming it has Thick Fat, but that's not necessarily true.
2. Is there a damage formula I can run through? I'm trying to figure out what the chance that a Fire Fang actually KO's here is. I don't mind doing the math by hand if needed. (I can see the Gen IV bulbapedia formula, but I was wondering if there were any changes.) (If there are no changes and Dew Gong isn't Thick Fat, I think Buck has a chance to KO based on the damage roll. I should have checked if it was Thick Fat before this, ugh.)
As an aside, was there something that I could have done differently to gain an edge here? Any mistakes? I'm trying to get better at actually playing. It might also just be that Miles has the stronger Pokemon, and there wasn't much I could have done differently. Not complaining, just curious. I've watched competitive Pokemon before, but I've never actually tried to play it.Last edited by Lord Ruby34; Yesterday at 10:12 AM.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
Dang it, I've been trying so hard to find the youtube short of Lucario singing the chorus of Wake Me Up Inside that inspired my current characterization of Elijah, but it seems so have melted off of the face of the internet. It was so dorky and I loved it, but it's GONE, so I can't share it augh.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
Only if I remembered the name of the video or the channel I watched it on. Which, sadly, is not the case.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
We can pretend Less has already done that, he’s had plenty of opportunity. Yes it has Thick Fat.
I think Bulbapedia has it listed.
To answer that I’d need to know how much of the information I gave that you made note of. Was Photobarrier a surprise? I know you did that archive binge a while back, but am unsure how deep you went with your binge. (The ‘likes sunlight’ comment was supposed to be a reminder.) I made sure to describe Miles’ Pokémon as beautiful (Beauty -> Special Attack) and tough (Tough -> Defense) in their overall description. (And the HP boost that goes with any other boost is noted in the house rules.) Also Miles’ general arrogance was meant to be a warning that he’s been in circulation as a trainer for a while and knows what he’s doing, and of course he told you outright that Contests have a battle segment.
For what it’s worth, I was just going to use the encounter to throw a side quest at you to make some Poffin and not bother with a battle at all…but once it got to that point the fight was intended to be difficult but winnable. Some of the problem might just be you’re used to squashing hordes of Bandra Grunts, who are by and large incompetent with very little variation in Pokémon and movesets.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
Oof. Does the Pokedex scan show the moves it knows? (Specifically, if it has Ice shard or another priority move.)
Same formula then.
Photobarrier was a surprise. For some reason I got it in my head that he was going to use his Delcatty as Pokemon number 3. I think I saw that his other Pokemon were grass and psychic types and didn't think about it anymore.
I did pick up on the tough and beautiful, but I couldn't do too much about it. I think the play that I could have made differently was U-turning Connie into Buck after that first hit, but I don't know if that would have been enough to save me. Basically every move everyone other than Connie has is physical. The other thing I could have tried was using Leo instead of Connie, but that felt like a bad idea in the sun.
:p Fair. He was being rude and arrogant enough that I don't think Less thought about learning from him too much. I wasn't surprised the battle was hard, either I thought it would be based on everything above. It's still winnable, I think, but Less will have to get pretty lucky from this point.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
You mean other than picking a fight with an obviously experienced and at the very least well-poffin'd trainer because he was a bit rude? Miles isn't the only arrogant one here, old man.
I would have done it too, tbf. See a trainer, fight a trainer. Pokemon fight club rules.

Re: Adventures in Helnith: Assault on the Town of Ash (OoC)
Well, I haven't found the Lucario video, but I have been reliving through this album. It's from a group called The Protomen and is a rock-opera with its story set in a dark-timeline Megaman fanfic and no wait hear me out Act 2 is amazing. These songs can stand on their own, and make a fantastic story even if you don't know the source material, and the little details the band put into these songs are brilliant. (For example, the closer the villain comes to total victory, the more the songs fade from rock into synthetic tones.) Keep Quiet and Light Up the Night have even featured in multiple video games and shows, which has completely caught me off guard.
Brilliant music. Lives rent-free in my head forever. Act 3 will never come out (I've been waiting 13 years for it) and I am forever sad. Join me in my sorrow.Last edited by Gnomes2169; Today at 08:07 AM.
