[OOC] You are the Mon

[Lugia]

Should I point out that not only can Nathan not learn that move by any means... but it would also be completely ineffective against the murkrow? Meh, I guess by asking that, I kinda pointed it out, sorry.

@Lugia

I know all that, he just want to try something to help and since he knows the world doesn't work like in the games he hopes to be able to learn a move effective against Ghosts he couldn't normally learn while forgetting Dark is immune to Psychic

[Lucius Cypher]

I’ll tell you right now that while it is possible for Nathan to learn, it’s doubtful that he can improvise the move on the fly, and it’ll certainly lay be difficult for him to do this as a seedot.

[Evanist]

One question... For Celina.. I see Astonish can be learn at level 3 and sing at level 5. Would it be possible for my character to learn astonish? I am guessing we arent close to level 5 yet though.

[SleepingSilence]

@Evanist I'll let him further clarify if he wants to touch on anything specific. But he mentioned that after our sleep, we're now lvl 5. But we didn't auto-learn the moves, we're just most inclined to want to use them. So your character could probably learn astonish and sing, you'd probably just need to be situations were you might use them.

[Evanist]

Alright.. the reason was that i though about trying sing and stopping those ghosts that are attacking that pokemon by making them sleep and fall to the ground...

[Lucius Cypher]

@Evanist

It's certainly possible. Again, moves which you learn "naturally" via level up come much easier for you than moves you normally only learn through tutors or TM's, and much easier than moves your pokemon normally can't learn at all. The fact you are at a level in which you would normally learn the move or would've known how to use the move also would indicate how easy it would be for you to pick up/how effective it would be.

In short, you can try. I shall determine for you how well it works. Just know that if you do get involved in the fighting, you can only do one move per post.

[SleepingSilence]

Well crossed fingers that dice rolls and statistics won't play a part in this. Since we aren't aware how acutely aware they are of their surroundings yet. All of them could have been solely focused on attacking that one bird. So if the sing does fail, maybe that also spares them from noticing another target to rush. Since Sing ‎is normally a 50/50 ordeal (55% in games to be specific) and if it is distributed individually, means some may fall asleep and others might immediately now know something is up and start trying to locate and frenzy attack the source. (Though they're huddled up together so maybe 'luck' could consider that as a group...)

I'd say it was a good action in IC. As it makes sense for a moral character to try to stop another innocent being from getting hurt. But in OC, it feels like a Leeroy Jenkins moment where a character aggro's an aggressive party of monsters when the rest of the party isn't prepared for it. :P

[Rune_Alchemist]

I'll be trying to get a post up here tomorrow

[Evanist]

*Suddenly, Celina singing/yelling* LEEEEERRRRROOOOOOYYYYYYYYYY.... :P

[Zanavy]

I'll try to make a post Saturday morning. Maaaybe Friday. If it doesn't happen by Sunday evening, you have my full permission to go on without me. Thanks for waiting - part-time job keeps giving me full-time hours. >_<

[Lucius Cypher]

And a post. Just to clarify for those who aren't too certain from my post:

@Evanist Congrats, the dice were on your side and so far you haven't missed with your singing. Lucky, I can't ever seem to make those land in the game.

@Rune_Alchemist You've successfully used Astonish. It didn't really do much damage but dice were on your side as well and you at least made the murkrow you attacked flinch, so he doesn't get an action.

@Zanavy Your attack went up due to how Rage works. This is a temporary boost of course, but should last you for the battle. Also as for Jeri knowing rollout since she would technically be at the level where she could learn it, basically if you think Jeri would have the instinct to try and roll/tackle into the enemy, it'll work as intended. The fact she woke up feeling more limber and flexible was suppose to be a sort of hint that she could pull this move off.

@Lugia You can now ember. Visually, it'll look more like a big puff of smoke with some bits of fire in the blast. Sorta like what would happen if you dumped a bunch of water onto a still active campfire. It doesn't have great range but at least it's an elemental attack.

Also, I'm aware that some of you guys were discussing your plan of attack when everyone did their thing. I'm not saying that planning isn't a good thing, but just keep in mind that if all you're doing is discussing your plan, you are losing out on the initiative to attack. Talking, unfortunately, is not a free action. I'm not saying that I'll punish you if you guys want to have a bit of back-and-forth before acting but in instances like this I encourage that you guys don't wait on me and post as you would if you were having a conversation. Otherwise once I post I will take it as everyone's actions being completed and moving the scene on accordingly.

[Rune_Alchemist]

I'll be trying to post tomorrow.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Zanavy

Waiting for you again, but I'll move us along by Friday at the latest.

[Evanist]

I will try to post tomorrow.

[SleepingSilence]

Might write something tomorrow, little as I may actually be able to do.

@Lucius Cypher Can I officially add "Bite" to my move list? ;3

[Lucius Cypher]

@SleepingSilence

You can add nibble. JK, I will be updating everyone on what new moves they've gained from this encounter. When I post at least.

[SleepingSilence]

@Lucius Cypher Hey. I'd imagine we're all waiting for another post to push the plot along, if everyone is still on board.

[Lugia]

I'm certainly waiting for the GM's next post.

[Riddles]

I'm waiting for a GM post as well.
