Pokemon Umbral Discussion 34: all your base...

[Dracorion]

Yeah, but that would require the foes choosing to start up the fog in the first place.

Which they might not do. They could just try to kill us straight.

AB, do we have to use Defog three times every turn to keep the Fog away?

[Menarker]

I am under a speculative impression that whomever was creating the fog was probably someone in the background like Faynoc or some other supporter, and that those guys would probably relish every oppurtunity to spam fogs, leaving their fighters to fight without having to divert their attention to creating a fog... that is if the supporter's efforts weren't hampered by the gusts of winds we create to stop them.

Still, your question is worth asking.

[Dracorion]

I guess I just don't wanna face the possibility that those fuckers are getting free Fog of War.

I'm sorry, Dave. I cannot do that.

No, seriously, that won't happen. Burkmont isn't even going to escape. He's not a coward. He'll fight to his last and die an honorable death, but that's only if you kill him. I have this idea for the sequel involving Mecha Burkmont 2.0 and...

Honestly, I might be on board with Bard being the leader. Impact may not be scared of Pierce, but I'd like to see him try some shit with Charlotte. I'd laugh the whole damn rest of the RP.

I'm willing to spend 25 rage to have Shaymin use Divide so that extra attack goes to the fog. However, according from what AB said, we would need two more "defog" techniques. Is that right, AB?

The way I put it out, I figured it might just make sense. Basically, you're supposed to treat the Fog of War like an L-size enemy all its own. Just like Matthias's joke indicates, you actually do attack the darkness. You can Divide an attack so it hits the Fog of War twice and counts as two defogs. After all, the fog is really big.

Hmmm...now that you ask this question, I guess not. I mean, the fog isn't there anymore, so why should you have to defog it when it's not even there?

There you what. On a turn when Fog of War isn't there, you can keep it at bay with just two defoggings. That's easy enough, right?

Tomorrow I'll be on duty and I'm going to be spending tonight on City of Heroes, saving some sprite sheets to make the Pokemon Umbral sprite comic tomorrow which'll be posted on Sunday, and going through my favorite website for naughty pictures for the discussion threads. I think I got, like, seven right now, but it never hurts to be prepared. We go through discussion threads like I go through 12-packs of A&W.

[Dracorion]

I'm going to choke a bitch.

That bitch is you.

KICK. ASS.

Edit: Umbral sprite comic? I suppose that sounds neat.

PROPOSED PLAN (Modified)

Rachel:Two rage rockets to Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina is at 60 rage.

Wilhelmina: Sniper OHKO Cradily.

Renny: *Pays 25 rage for Togekiss to use Divide*
Shaymin uses Divided Air Slash on Toxicroak. 100% flinch and STAB Amplified Super Effective Damage (Sky Shaymin has absurb Special attack too).
Togekiss uses Air Slash twice (Divide) to prevent fog from emerging.

Harriette:
Wormadam use Psychic on Seviper for Amplified Super Effective Damage.
Illumise's Helping Hand on Pierce's Palkia.
Charge Bolt on Noctowl for Super Effective Amplified damage on Noctowl which get reduced due to splash. Splash hit Toxicroak for neutral damage.

Pierce:
Pierce uses a Full Restore on Palkia (I assume you have one?)
Palkia use Testament Drive on Mio for Quad Effective damage with Helping Hand Boost. (Don't know if Testament Drive is amplified)

Impact: Use a rage rocket item on himself to prepare for CC&C next turn.

Charlotte:
Pike uses Thunder for STAB Amplifed Super Effective damage on Noctowl which get reduced due to splash. Splash hit Toxicroak for neutral damage.
Arceus (Poison type with Toxic Plate) uses Judgement on Acolyte A for Super Effective STAB Amplified damage.

Matthias: Porygon Z Paradigm Shift! Hyper Beam on Acolyte B. Improved STAB (2x damage instead of 1.5) making the attack 300 Power, Amplified HUGE Special Attack stat.


Moon:
Starmie (Shannelle) use Psychic for STAB Amplified Super Effective Attack on Seviper.

Lanturn uses Discharge on Seviper and the target beside it (Presumably Golduck if the Acolyte dies). Don't know if it'll spread even further due to the water and it already being AOE. STAB, Amplified.

Lexhur: Has 300 rage. Do nothing this turn.

Approve? Disapprove?

[Dracorion]

Yeah, sure.

So anyway, I guess leadership comes down to Renny, Pierce and Charlotte?

Tight race. Renny has that honest face, but Pierce is a guy who gets the job done right, and Charlotte's got that whole ruthlessness thing going on.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I like the idea of Charlotte, because she is ruthless in a way similar to Impact, but she doesn't try any sneaky bullshit. She knows what she wants and she won't hide it.

Her sidequest will also have a surely shocking SURPRISING DEVELOPMENT or two.

Speaking of side-quests, seeing as how Gem is shorter on time, I propose we move Charlotte's to happen before Impact's and after Drac's. Matt, being the most mysterious of the crew, will probably have the last sidequest.

[Dracorion]

Hoo boy, Gem's going to be pissed at you, Bard.

Fuck yeah, let's do it!
