// That's so you can't cheat in quests where the players themselves roll the dice. If they knew the results they would do some action that doesn't require a roll to try and get a more favorable roll on the next post. It forces you to commit to posting to get the result. Just make 2 posts if you don't like editing, one with the roll and a second with the flavortext of the result.

>Fennekin deftly dodges Squirtle's full body tackle and gives him a scratch in the side with one of her forepaws for his troubles!
>"Squirtle!" it yelps as it recoils from the attack.
>"Not good enough, Squirtle!" Marisa frowns, "Tackle again, but keep your eye on her this time, ze!"
>"Tle!" the pokemon grunts as it recovers, before charging towards Fennekin!
