Welp, I won't have proper internet until next Friday . I can still kinda post, but I'll be keeping it brief. Koa' s still good with moving on, just roll for him.

[Synch]

Synch, just so you're aware, you do only get one command action per round- Although I'm guessing you're essentially giving an action for next round, since it can't use sand-attack yet.

Yup thats the plan, just making intentions known I guess.

Bjorn can't drink the potion eh? Using a restorative is a full action right? Can't move and use?

[M0rtimer]

Applying Restorative Items, or X Items is a
Standard Action, which causes the target to
forfeit their next Standard Action and Shift
Action, unless the user has the ÔÇ£Medic TrainingÔÇØ
Edge. The target of these items may refuse to
stay still and be healed; in that case, the item is
not used, and the target does not forfeit their
actions.

So if I'm reading this correctly... You'll still be able to shift regularly this turn (So away from Genesect as you've already mentioned) and apply the potion, but you won't be able to act next round. (Besides commanding your pokemon, of course.) Unless you have the medic training edge of course as mentioned, but I don't think you do..?

Bjorn is "dating" someone who could probably help him out, too, though.

[SuperVaderMan]

Ya'know, we could just bypass the bridge. With Kay, Maku, and Irene's new Gyarados (Mountable 4), we have just enough trainer carrying capacity to cross the river ourselves. I think that would be preferable to risking anything with these punks.

We can always relegate them to a future side quest if we feel like it, maybe learn more about them beforehand.

I was hoping she may offer up her services, but didn't want to seem presumptious.

EDIT: Potions are a spray?!

That's what i was thinking too! Even with just Kay we could've done multiple trips

We should at least see what they're asking for first. Who knows, maybe they're just some friendly tour guides or something

[Natrivv]

Hmm, how rapid are the waters below? Cause I don't want to be washed away with gyarados, though I'm really liking the idea of the group going "That's a cool story, well see ya!" as we just bypass the bridge. But yeah we should at least say hello before blowing pass them.

If you're asking- I'd probably ask for an intuition roll to give better estimates, but on first glance, it does look to be moving at least fast enough that I'd be asking for an athletics check...

[Dusk9]

Maku is strong enough to carry 3-4 people on his own, easy. If Drake rides his Celesteela, we might even be able to cross in one go without leaving anyone behind.

[M0rtimer]

I mean, there's a difference between having the technical strength to do something, and having the actual size to utilize it- Otherwise, a lot more mons would have a lot higher mountable capability.

With that said, with some creative design it'd definitely be possible to utilize your pokemon in such a respect- (I believe the whole "mounting" section in the PDF even mentions that with saddles etc, you can either make it easier to mount a pokemon, or make a pokemon that would otherwise not be mountable mountable) by default, I'd say that Maku can probably reliably carry one person... And that's not as much "mountable" as just keeping them in a grapple hold and carry them like that.

[Dusk9]

I was thinking one person in each arm, and another riding his shoulders. Hariyama are almost as wide as they are tall, and their hands aren't exactly small either. So i don't think it would be a stretch to say someone could sit in the palm of one hand quite easily.

Obviously this wouldn't work for long distance travel, but i figure the sorry hop across the river wouldn't be too bad.

[M0rtimer]

Well, if you're so certain that'll be so easily pushed to it's limit, I'm sure you won't mind an athletics roll, would you?

[Dusk9]

Depends who's making the roll. Maku has 6d6+2 Athletics, so I'm sure it'll be fine

(Aaaand I've just jinxed it now, haven't I? )

I mean, it's a Gyarados. I'd just assume it would be able to cross some rapids. It's a sea serpent, it's not like it has to do the breaststroke to get across

(Also I lacked phone access for the past 2 days and couldn't post, wooo)

I didn't say it'd be a difficult check...

Synch, bjorn is already hurt. Acorn is also going to intercept at anytime.

Burns, Bjorn is now full health. Given he's probably not strong enough to push/grapple Genesect, and has already used Mist and Agility, there's literally nothing else for him to do. May as well prevent others from being hurt.

[Dlover]

I think he's got the skills to grapple it, but lacks the strength to Push it. Getting a second person in the grapple probably isn't the most significant thing compared to keeping all the trainers safe, though.

[Synch]

Should I get Pyre to hit it with another Ember, or just use Husk's sand attack again?

I don't think Bjorn can do much apart from an intercept, or maybe try to Trip or Hinder it? Should have a decent shot with an Athletics check.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Ember or sand attack is good. Acorn is going to intercept he has more defence and resists certian attacks. Trip/hindering it would work out.

[M0rtimer]

Psst, Murkoff has the dark gym.

[SuperVaderMan]

Welp. I was gonna have Koa rest at the pokecenter, but then I checked the rules on healing again and saw that I would be spending half the day and half of Koa' s money lying around doing nothing, so that option's out. Now idk what to do for sure.

Huh? I thought pokecenters were free? That's what we were doing?

EDIT: OOh you mean trainer healing. Yea that stuff is rough.

[Natrivv]

ah, oops. I let my mistake go to Irene cause that was her primary motivation, and when did she actually have time to sit down and research which gym was what. Her character was always planning on deep trips into the wilderness, not gym challenges lol

You could stay overnight to heal 2-3 injuries without missing anything? Combined with self-healing by draining 2AP in the morning, and another bandage, and you'll be pretty much back to 100%. But yeah, the money cost is pretty rough.

What time is it now? Mid/early-afternoon? If you come to the Center now and buy a bandage from them, you'll be able to recover another Injury before bed too (assuming you don't get into any more fights ). That will at least put you out of the Heavily Injured range, so you can act in a fight without hurting yourself.
