poképosting 

if a pokemon somehow simultaneously had every type, it would be:

  • immune to normal, fighting, poison, ground, ghost, electric, psychic, and dragon
  • take 1/16 damage from Bug and Grass
  • take 1/2 damage from Steel and Dark
  • take normal damage from Flying, Fire, Water, Ice, and Fairy
  • take double damage from Rock

whoops tonight the players took on two independently very difficult encounters that as written in this adventure path you shouldn't have to fight both of at all (they voluntarily chose to attack the other boss who was explicitly not joining the fight after engaging the others)

three of them are KOed in the company of someone who likes to eat people and the other fled. there might need to be three new PCs?

for example in "ley" [lei] vs. "leyes" ['le.ʃes]

nonetheless.

on the other hand, then we would have to store a very tall pot

apparently spanish borrowed the word groggy (as grogui, of course). not super common but it gets used.

oh no hbo's streaming thingy preserves our audio language preferences across shows

this is a horrible burden for an anti-dubs household that is currently watching both true blood and el jardín de bronce
