RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Lord Windos - 05-23-2018

After a long, hard, and thorough plumbing his often scatterbrained and as of now definitely adrenaline/overemotionally addled mind, Ventus FINALLY managed to scrabble together enough information on Seikamater based on what little data the cursory analysis he did on her yield and what comparisons he can draw on between her and Vespiqueen/Silverfish.

The results were..... none too pleasing to the empath, judging by how blank his face came as he listed off them off in his head:

- Seikamater was firmly a primitive, dictatorial queen, who was used to getting her way and extremely self centered + prideful of her power and status. Negotiation, therefore, was going to be extremely difficult, since traditional barginning or peaceful discussion will likely get the group nowhere but annoy or infuriate her. Getting close enough to catch her attention would also be a problem, since she would then be close enough to attack them should her whims take her down the violent route.

- Her strength and might as a Legendary Pokémon far outstripped that of even his beloved old friend Silverfish, and as such directly engaging them in combat was borderline suicidal at best, and outright destined to fail at worse. Status Moves and the like were going to be either ineffective or vastly depowered, and the only chance to serious harm it would be using Super Effective from their Fire and Flying types. Considering its Elementalist ability as described by Heart, however, she is likely to have counters to all the traditional weakness of a Bug. Add to that the fiery bugs that were guarding her and the entire legions of Bugs that were outside the cave, and any attacks would be meet with heavy to overwhelming resistance.

- The webs that were ensnaring all their friends and family were tough enough to keep their Pokémon in against Capture Beam and not fall apart easily to attacks, and they were close enough to Siekamater that trying to free their Pokémon would undoubtibly draw her attention and ire.

- The entire camber was too large and fortified to be brought down with just Mamo's Earthquakes, and taking down the castle with him would likely cause the queen to signal to her hive to come rescue her/kill them all.

Overall, the researcher's assessment of the situation was bleak: there was very little chance of getting all their Pokémon out safely through either diplomatic means or outright fighting Siekamater . Honestly, the best option for the group in his opinion would be to just turn back and flee, leaving their Pokémon behind and exiting the ill defined 'zone of influence' , then wait for Tanuki to come find them all and lead them out of the mountain. It would mean forfeiting Antheneum to those wretch, vile reddened Scimitars , but at the very least most of the group would be alive and could come up with a new plan or (in Ven's case) outright abandon the region and seek sanctuary elsewhere.

However, Ventus knew with certainty that Nathan would sooner die trying to save his Partner Ralts and his Pokémon then live to see another day, Heart had ideas of martyrdom and would likely sacrifice himself for 'the greater good' if necessary, and Shiva wouldn't wish to leave ANYONE behind if she could possibly help. So running away was not an option.

'What then, in Reshirim's, Zekrom's, and Kyurem's blessed and damned names is an option that can at the very least garentee a chance of saving our Pokémon and ourselves in the process?! A blasted, horrendous situation such as this.....its like all the gods have abandoned us, or specially designed it to torture and damn us all! By all things holy and just, I wish we could just  Sucker Punch the Queen out or smash through her like any other adversary and simply just rescue.....our......Pokémon.....afterwards? Wait a moment........................................................that's it. THAT'S IT!  Eureka! I found a Plan that can save our all Pokémon and ourselves, if we can pull it off successfully  HUZZAH!'

Indeed, his internal ranting and reviewing the facts set before him had invariably lead to him to coming up with a Plan that could possibly lead to the rescue of their Pokémon and escape from perilous danger with minimum casualties! This certainly removed his blank expression and replaced it with a hopeful smile.......briefly, before every single downside and negative quality of his Plan came into sharp relief for the empath, causing his grin to twist itself to into bad ends!

'Still......its an enormously and perhaps even BEYOND risky course of action , with any part of it failing almost certainly forcing us into conflict with Seikamater and/or worse. .......But its the only recourse of action we have bar attempting to parley with her myself that has a chance at success, and if negotiations fall through.....it has roughly the same outcome as the failure of my Plan and gives her the advantage over us in every way. And I don't foresee any form of diplomacy that will end well for us anyway, unless we are willing to make a great many sacrifice on our parts in order to entreat her favor, all of which could leave us worse off than just fighting her.'

'..............*Mental Sighing* I can't keep my Plan to myself, then. The group deserves to know of even a desperate and insanely dangerous option for saving our Pokémon, so I need to share it with everyone and get their opinions on it. If they agree to it or have modification that can improve it, then we put it into motion, damn the consequences of it all. If they disagree or offer alternatives, then we can pursue other lines of thought that can hopefully pan out better. Either way, we all need to act soon or face the reality of losing our Pokémon right before our eyes, and to do that we all need a Plan to rally behind or against. Oh Reshirm, Zekrom, Kyurem, and any other deity that is willing to hear my prayers.......please let this work.'

With that final solumn plea to his gods and any other powerful being that could help capping off his internal debate, Ventus let out a low, quiet, and a long, heavy *Sigh* , pitching it such a way to relieve  some of his stress and catch everyone's attention in the process. He looked each and everyone of them straight in the eyes with his own bleak, serious, yet grimly determined ones, before he quietly uttered just four words:

"I have a plan."

A short stretch of silence followed, as he chewed the corner of his mouth and continued staring at everyone with that uneasy yet resolute expression, before sighing again, shaking his head., and continuing."

".....I will not lie to you: its far from ideal, and failure of any part of it will force us to fight........her in an unfavorable situation, and almost certainly lead us and our capture Pokémon to our doom if we do not flee immediately afterwards. And even if we pull of my plan without a hitch, their is still the chance we may fail if we can not overcome the almost insurmountable challenges that lay within it."

He sighed again, looking far more aged that a man in his mid 20s should appeared, until he regained his vigor and pressed on.

"However, its better than doing nothing at all or trying to negotiate with The Queen herself , as she is.........brutal, primitive, and authoratitive, as you all can guess by now. Trying to bargin for our Pokémon's freedom will either not work or cost us severely in the process, and failure means we either provoke her and enter into combat anyway, or prevents us from rescuing our Pokémon without engaging her with unfavorable odds from the outset. My plan would rescue our Pokémon in short order should all go well, allow us to quickly escape from her, and minimize the dangers of fighting her should we be forced to do so. It is a long shot and a tall order......but if we pull it off, then we shall walk away from this with all our friend, with only memories and some scars lingering with us."

Silence again, as Ventus pauses to let his words since in and regain his breath, until finally he said:

"Let me reveal it to you all now, then."

Ventus then proceeds to lay out his entire plan to the group. I will be quoting my original plan, with modification to it in order to not make this an overly long or too bogged down explaination (Not Likely, but it does give me a template to work off of at least).


Quote:


When Ventus finishes, he looked winded, worried, and overall a little weaker for his divulging his Plan, but overall their was a certain 'gallow's confidence' in him, as if he expected things to go to pot but is still willing to risk it all anyway, for the slim hopes of sweet, sweet success.

"That is the Plan. If you have any comments, suggestions, or alternatives to it you would like to bring up, speak them now and quickly. If we all agree to enact my plan, we begin it effective immediately. If not, we shall try other options. Make no mistake, this plan is uncertain as this cavern is vacuous, so if you do not wish to support it, you will have my full understanding and support of your decision. It is, however, a chance better than anything else than giving up and fleeing, which is.....unthinkable for anyone of us now."

"With that said, let me hear you all speak of this Plan of mine, my comrades....."


RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Spiritmon - 05-23-2018

Flashback Time!

Heart nod his head. "Sounds fair to me. When you want that favor, if is not impossible I will gladly make happen. Thank you for your understable." Heart take the thunderglass. "Finally. Now all I need is to return to Larversta later and give this piece to her. Mission complete!"

Flashback off!


RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Spiritmon - 05-23-2018

Heart nod his head after hearing all the plan. "I think that is the best plan and aproach we can make in this situation. But I do not have a mount of mine. The only Pokemon in the moment is Infernape, Fraxure, Trevenant, Patrat, Clawitizer and Durant. In this case Durant may help as my mount or Trevenant."


RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Dragonstrike - 05-23-2018

Nathan's listening, but he's silently watching the situation with Seikamater and the captive pokemon the entire time, never taking his eyes off of the scene...

...he looks about ready to run in there himself.  The long wait of trying to figure out what to do...it's making him far more twitchy than he's ever looked before (discounting any shivering from the cold).  He's not even complaining about how cold it is right now (even though it is just a little bit warmer in this part of the caves).

"...whatever we do, we need to do it fast, before...before..."

...

He doesn't really care what's done.  So long as everyone can get out of this in one piece.

So long as he can save Ralts from this horrible, horrible fate nobody should ever have to suffer...

The whole time, Shiva remained deadly silent, for several reasons. Being so close to Ventus - in fact, she still had one of her arms slung around his back (hey, he never either commented nor objected, so she assumed he didn't mind at all (not that she expected any reaction, she was totally fine to just have his silent and uncommented closure in this dire situation) - she could literally FEEL him thinking, desperately, even, trying to grab every tiny straw possible, it was almost AUDIBLE for her how his mental gears were operating at full stretch. It was a pleasant realization, well aware of the fact that Ven felt responsible for the safety of his group members. To some degree, it even made her proud of him.

The cold WRATH she felt has not eased out fully by now, but it was not enough to unbalance the fae enthusiast. It was real however, and it was justified. This queen of a bug, this MONSTROSITY of a bug didn't deserve her compassion for what she has done, not in the tiniest bit. It may be a legend, true, but this didn't save her from things, this only made her DESERVE the worst. She may had her reasons to take their Pokemon away, that much Shiva understood, but... No way she could just get away with it! n....NO WAY!!! Determination Mode activated, fear and wrath come second! They're not 'erased', only swallowed and bottled up to make room for TAKING SOME ACTION. Shiva's posture strengthened, adrenaline kicked in, it was almost as if she was glowing in the inside, a bit of that showed by a gleam washing over her eyes in an intensity that she hasn't experienced before ever. What a feeling!

Just in that moment that heavy sigh of Ventus caused her to perk up even more more and shoot him a look. She neatly mirrored his serious, determined, bleak expression, not flinching away in any means. The four words her chosen one spoke out, 'I have a plan', were teh swwtest words ever. Nothing else she'd desire to hear more in this situation.

Remaining deadly silent, she listenened to Ventus with attention. Tried to make sure that she hasn't missed anything, eagerly made sure that she understood things right. While listening to him, the determination almost grew some more - that was indeed a plan! A.....risky one, but one that could work with enough preparation and luck ('Oh Reshiram... The stars above...You have prooven that you are still standing by me within this mountain, so please do not leave me - us - alone here...') and - it didn't involve direct combat if all goes well! Wonderful.


A few moments passed where Shiva silently processed it all gone by before she raised up her own voice to add things/her own thoughts:

- "I'm....all for you heading down there with Lucifer to free our Pokemon, Nathan. It's visible that you....are up to it even... It's probably needless to say, but BE CAREFUL. Shall we not see you again... I'll remember you." .... Silence reigned for a few more moments where she only starred at Nathan, weirdly confident. She needs to trust him now, fully! "....One last thing. Please, bring out that HM of Rock Smash once more - I'd like to teach it to my Tropius, in order to enable him helping breaking the castle pillars down."

- "I'm having one more thing that I'd like you to use now." A little rummaging in her stuff later, she revealed what it was: Black and wooly boots, looking like they are self-made. She handed them to Nathan in a swift movement. "These are boots I made from the wool of a Baashaun I've bought. I've tested them... They make your footsteps as silent as a Persian's. Please, put them on." (Effect: +1 dice on a Stealth Check)

- Next, she turned to Ventus, facing him for a moment in silence before she spoke up. Mayn thoughts and unspoke words were shared in this moment... "Ven... Thank you. I fully agree to your plan. I'd rather have Tropius out to help instead of Lilith, while it's true that she could prevent Seika from healing herself of slow her - he will be your and my mount, the act of summoning him could cost us the success of this plan, he'll be helping bringing things down with Rock Smash."

- That, and she felt like Azumarill will rejoice over being able to grant everyone a Helping Hand.

- Semi-finally, she turned to Mr. Finder. "I'm all for you staying with Valder, please. It's safer.... You shouldn't be brought into the active danger zone unless definitely necessary - which is not the case now. Please, hand me the Balls of Raticate, Growlithe and Slurpuff -  I'll make personally sure that you'll receive your fairydog back, as I WILL be the one who'll reacall him alongside my Mightyena." The remaining two then are distributed between the others.

- Finally, she turned to Dizzy, stroked him over his white head fur, whispering a few words to him: "We're counting on your help. You've been trained for such situations... Please give everything you have." (If Dizzy dies here, he'd die as a hero Pokemon for Shiva.)

Those words from Shiva...

...they hit a...weird spot for Nathan after the conversation he and Ralts had with Shiva last night.

...it's only moments later that he returns to focusing on saving Ralts and everyone else, though.

"...alright.  Rock Smash for Tropius.  I can take this opportunity to teach it to Yule, too...make sure he knows what's going on and that we might need his help with escaping...hopefully he doesn't have to fight since he'd be at a complete disadvantage..."  Tropius and Yule now know Rock Smash!

...

...Nathan wordlessly takes those Baashaun Wool Boots from Shiva immediately so he can put them to good use!  That'll definitely help...not the first time he's seen them, but that doesn't lessen how appreciative he is that Shiva has them in the first place.

Calam buffs himself with Swords Dance, and Lucifer will probably cast Tailwind just before it's time to move out to maximize how long it lasts.

Nathan looks ready to go as soon as everyone else has done their preparations.  He has Solomon and Ralts' pokeballs on hand already, obviously, and has recalled Herolune Ditto, Yule, and Swiftfire for the time being.  (in fact, if he has to, he'll temporarily swap Ditto's pokeball for Lucifer's with Ventus)  Valder currently has Zippy's pokeball (and Grid's if that's relevant).  Nathan's twitchy right now, but if there's one thing he needs to do, it's stay as quiet as he possibly can...if he screws up even once...he finds himself suddenly veeeerrry mindful of everything around him...which way Seikamater is looking...where there are loose rocks on the ground...he's not an expert by any means, of course, but he's making a conscious effort to not get caught!  Spending 12 exp to level Stealth from 0 to 2!

Nathan doesn't really have anything meaningful to add right now.  However...




RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Lord Windos - 05-23-2018

With a unanimous agreement from all the members of the group sans Mr. Finder (Who at this point could be considered irrelevant in proceedings unless he kicks up enough of a fuss) and getting their suggestions/addition (Mainly from Shiva, who definitely got a small, grateful smile for that!), Ventus let out one final *Sigh.....* before he fully steeled himself and straightened up to his full height, and with eyes full of grim resolve and determination gave each and every one a firm nod of his head.

"So be it then. Let us proceed with preparations, and pray that we pull of my Plan with success, for failure is not an option we can entertain anymore......"

Ventus then recalled Apsis to her Pokeball and summoned Raphael in their place, waiting for the others to summon/organize the Pokémon he specified earlier before ordering them to cast After You and every single one of them, before using Nasty Plot themselves to power up their Rock Smashes/Air Slashes! After hearing their father retell the plan to them, they looked nervous at the mere thought of facing against a LEGENDARY POKEMON (Not unlike how they felt when they fought against Gyarados so long ago!) , before them mustered up all their courageous, valiant, and helpful spirit, and gave them a heroic look + saluted them! He would save his friend and defeat that no good and nasty Bug Queen, or he would Faint trying!!!

For Lucifer, he ordered them to prepare a Tailwind at the right/on Nathan command on himself, Calam, Dizzy, and Azumarill, before pulling him off to the side (Via telling him to perch on his shoulder and hunching over to whisper at them) , and gave then an ULTRA stern look as he impressed upon him his expectations for them in his Plan.

"Lucifer, normally I would never ask this of you, but you must  obey every command of Nathan's, and consider his word equivalent of mine own during this upcoming raid on Siekamater. Failure to do so and any Disobedience on your part will most likely result in your, mine, and EVERYONE'S death or worse , so for the shake of us all you will perfectly follow their orders in the entire spirit AND letter or else. Do you understand?"

Presumably they do, as the though of getting themselves and their big brother killed due to his OWN ACTIONS was utterly unthinkable and horrifying to the devil bat, so get further prepped by being smeared with Honey/Hive Gunk in order to further mask their scent, so they have a better chance at slipping by Siekamater unnoticed, before being silently handed off to Nathan with a firm stare at him that carried the implicit command of : 'Keep them safe and lead them well as you could.'

He also summoned Michael to his side and debriefed him of the plan afterwards, to which he readily agreed to, as the thought of FIGHTING A LEGENDARY got him super pumped up, as if he could say he beat one he could truly claim to be the ultimate fighter and mushroom of champeons! Let him at those Pillars, ORAH ORAH ORAH!

With all things done on his end, Ventus awaited the moment Lucifer would be sent into to free their Pokémon holding the Pokeballs of two of the Pokémon trapped in the web that haven't been claimed by anyone yet, hoping against hope all would turn out well for them without severe costs and casualties on their end......


RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Spiritmon - 05-23-2018

Heart summon Rose and Gustav waiting for the plan begin.


RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 05-23-2018

An agreeing nod was given to Ventus as he finished things up by saying four more important words: "So be it then" The small smile he gifted her wasn't returned suprisingly, but from the way Shiva gave Ven a last squeeze with her arm into his side before she withdrew it, spoke for itself.

The same nod has been given to Nathan as well for his words of telling everyone shall things....go amiss, he can count on that. Before she proceeded to summon Tropius and teach him Rock Smash, she held eye contact with him for one moment longer, more unspoke words were shared at this moment.


Then, she turned her full attention to mentioned last preparations, which consisted of:

- Summoning Azumarill and having her lend a TailWind-Boosted Helping Hand on everyone who'll take an Action (Nathan/Lucifer/Calam/Dizzy/Tropius/Michael/Gustav/Rose, should I have missed someone accidently, please correct me), before fondly petting her forehead with the words "Part of our task will be fighting of some firely ants... I'm trusting in your bubbles, dear one."

-Turning to Dizzy/kneeing down to hom and asking him whether he does know Swords Dance, and if so "....Please use it now then. Be ready and alerted, please.... And listen to Nathan in case. You know best, you've been professionally trained, so...I'm trusting in you as well."

- Asking Tropius to be prepared. If he gets the cue, Shiva and Ventus will immediately take a seat on his back, before RUSHING to the entrance of the cave alongside the others will be it. He's also asked to prepare himself for the worst...


That's it for now, so in a last and HOPEFULL spark of grim determination, Shiva got up again and took her position near/beside Ventus. Faithful Azumarill has taken a stance in front of her and was casting looks up to the ceiling secretly scanning it for these fierely ants already. Tropius was standing only few steps in front of Azumarill - flapping his leafy wings, readying himself to smash these pillars down with the others as his first task.

Mightyena's and Slurpuff's Balls are prepared in her hand as well, ready to be recalled the moment these two are free.


RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Iron - 05-23-2018

Valder uses a Hurtloam on Theo (deducted from char sheet), knowing every little bit counts in this fight.
