Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Mew can learn any TM/HM and Tutor move. In this system that means it can effectively know anything.
And I don't think it's a matter of the shuppet knowing her moves, it's more that the shuppet gave her a general directive. Mew just happened to use Dark Void.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
I want to know the logistics. Tutoring won’t work because you need 3 or more mons with the move, mentoring doesnt work because it’s not a tm move, natural move, ect.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Actually, Tutoring can work if you know the move yourself, which Darkrai does. We've already seen that certain, special pokemon can have feats from BatD (like Numa), so it's not inconceivable that actual legendaries could have trainer feats.
Also there's Archive Tutor, so even by RAW it's possible for a 3rd party to have taken a picture of Dark Void and taught it to Mew.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Well it would be difficult to get the pic then find mew to teach and why darkrai would teach her? And if that is the case then why didnt the headmaster say anything like protect the masterball? :/
I don’t think that is unreasonable since theghost tried to steal from commander.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Look, I'm really struggling to follow this fight.
Sneak should be on 1HP, and I included a move for him in my last move, but may have been overlooked?
Bjorn was supposed to move up next to the Pikachu?
No idea who's turn it is.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Yeah Mort must've missed it. There's a lot to keep track of. Here's the post from a while ago saying Sneak is still up:
And Uyum just took her first turn this round - Mort paused it there because Dark Void had such a big impact on everyone's turns. Currently Shadow if up next.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Yeah sorry, forgot to put Sneak back in the initiative. And you did attack the pikachu, but I forgot to move you next to the pikachu if that's what you wanted. I'll update both things this evening (hopefully).
Also I don't want to spend too much time answering questions that are not strictly OOC, but I'll very briefly address the "Why did Magnus not get protected" thing. He did not get protected because he didn't exert control using the master ball.
Why did he not exert control you ask? After all surely it's something they'd both want, right? There's several reasons really, but I'll just ask you a single question instead. You somehow get the power to take complete control over a friend. You know that if you use it, their actions will no longer be their own, even if you believe it'd be what they want. Could/Would you do it, whether it was for their own good or not?

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Why not just hand over/toss the masterball to her so she can be her own master? And didnt he extert control by saying at ease?

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
If you mean why didn't he give Uyum the ball during the fight, he had already uses his shift and standard moving over to pick up the ball. It wouldn't have made a difference anyway, since the ghosts would've used Thief on her instead to steal it.
If you mean in general why she doesn't just carry the ball around with her, Uyum and Magnus probably experimented with the ball as much as they can. They've had it for centuries, possibly millennia. Carrying it around was probably deemed too risky since it could be stolen, exactly like what happened just now with Magnus and the ghosts. So they decided to keep it hidden so (theoretically) no one could find it, yet close enough to do something about it if someone did find it. And here Magnus is, doing something about it.
As for the at ease thing, he's just saying she could relax. Stop trying to be pedantic.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Didn't update the text, but last update has been edited for changes. Bjorn moved, Sneak still up and ko'd a grunt. The damage the grunt did to Alex has also been reverted.

Ah. I thought she could. I am guessing all Haley can do is wake up then...you can roll for me if needed.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
You might want to post anyway in case someone wakes Haley.
If Tyr wakes Alex up, Alex will in turn wake Haley, so you can just have her hold her turn until that happens.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Teamwork! It's a conga line of waking people up!
Oh, and I realised something, on the topic of Mew knowing Dark Void: If anyone with teaching abilities was Gifted by Darkrai they'd eventually learn the move and be able to teach it.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Okay, I have an idea but not sure if it'll work?
I'm thinking having Haley release Amber, and basically holding her action to use the grapple gun to get the master ball. Amber will use incinerate?
Or cushion use faint attack/payback?

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
You could queue that up conditionally, but if Koa's turn goes according to plan then his Greninja will already have the ball.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Pre-emptive joykiller, but probably should do that now rather than later: I'm pretty sure you can't use the grapple gun for that purpose? Sorry, but when there's literal moves based around the concept of stealing things, and the only thing comparable to a ranged steal is a scene-based move, I don't think it's something I should just allow. Especially since the closest comparison is the disarm maneuver, and that comes with some heavy caveats. (High AC, contested check, AND item drops to the ground rather than ending up immediately taken)Arch Lich Burns wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:55 pm Okay, I have an idea but not sure if it'll work?

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
I think Burns is talking about grabbing it assuming the attack KOs the one holding it. Not stealing it.

That'd probably be alright yeah, if you don't mind an AC roll to make up for the fact it'd be from distance.

Re: Trinity Isles OOC
Sorry guys, I'm a little late to the planning party. Before everything went downhill, Bruce was planning on taking out some of the smaller threats around the side of the battle using Tops, and having Shadow take shots at Uyum when he could. But since it's bedtime now for just about everybody in the main circle, is there something else you'd like me to do first? Anybody that Tops (or Bruce) is in easy reach of that still needs to be woken up?
If not, that pikachu is going down!!
