Hey, I will fully own up to me and Pyra not being clear with our intentions, and how it lead to The Meltdown, but it isn't entirely my fault that it happened in the first place. Marcus jumping the gun and threatening her and by association her Team didn't exactly make it easy for her not to lash out against him, after all. 

Related to this topic, I do have something to bring up that bothered me somewhat in the Game Thread: You having Karen and Marcus prevent Pyra from trying to dissuade Kee from healing Forrestress. I have never been too keen when a DM blocks a player from taking action or interacting with another player (IC or OOC) unless its absolutely necessary to prevent or stop utter shitshows OR they're completely transparent about WHY they want to stop you, and that moment right that smacks to me of such shenanigans. I didn't like it too much when Iron did it in his game to 'resolve' conflicts or herd us along, and I don't like it here either. Let us play your game a little more freely until it can't be for some reason that's clearly explained, in other words. At the very least you in that situation you could have waited until Kee/Phantom had a chance to respond and see what Pyra does before having the NPCs 'weigh in' on the matter, even if you think its a forgone conclusion.

Here, for example, of what I would've done if Kee rejected her advice WITHOUT Karen and Marcus stepping in to stop her from arguing in the first place: either have her simply accept it begrudgingly and let it happen, OR offer the alternative of Karen's Life Dew as the low cost alternative with some measure of reluctant exasperation (since she's done it before, to her continued displeasure and confusion/vexation). Heck, I could probably still have her suggest the later despite their interference if you and Phantom would allow it, as I rather have Karen spend a Will Point healing Forrestress and one other Pokemon (a more personal cost that doesn't have a high potential of screwing up the group later) up then give up one of the precious few Items we brought into the MD that costed us Poke and Inventory Space.

I wouldn't be opposed to joining a non-pokemon roleplay session in the future.  Heck, I was all ready to join Dies Irae's PbP Pathfinder game that didn't gain enough traction to actually be run (but then inspired Iron to start up SR).

Onboard with it, mate! I'd have to brush up on what my favorite classes do and some guides, but it'd be nice to play some classic DND that got me into ttrpgs into the first place. Course, we have to sceduale it, and find what means we want to play it as, and just who will be making the oneshot....

Human
Dragonborn (some kind of humanoid dragon)
Elf
Dwarf
Half-Elf
Half-Orc
Gnome
Tiefling (a kind of half human/half demon character)
