[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Great, now Larry AND Vincent think I'm coldhearted.

Don't worry, I will always have your back, no matter how scattered brain some of your decision might end up. After all, you are the one who made the game even possible!

[Dies Irae]

You're the GM. Of course you are.

@Iron

Why are you making it hard for Ventus. I don't think he plans on having another freak attack like last time, but he sure as hell will get his Shroomish to wilt every single one of those flowers.

Oh, and was the explosion far away enough that neither I or Sochi noticed it? I was kinda wondering, since she didn't appear to react to it.

That lemonade stand would have to be pretty far away from the RV. Or maybe you just weren't paying enough attention to it?

Sieg is an excellent scout. No Voltorb found, but the trail of sparks leads far south, across the river, possibly as far as the Divide. The Pokemon really blasted off with that attack.

However, Growlithe sniffed out the trail of Voltorb before it met the juggler and got mistaken for a Pokeball. He found two or three of the Deyo flowers (sorry Ventus) and another small meteor crater, this one fresher than the first (though still a few hundred years old). This, his nose says, is where Voltorb was nesting.

According to the Pokedex, Mankey and Primeape are common enough on Mt. Molten, but they are not supposed to venture down into town. Pokedex agrees that Staryu and Ralts were out of place, and maybe Voltorb.

If this wasn't a social game involving a group, I'd literally hare off on a one-man crusade to find and capture that Voltorb, since seriously leaving a bomb ball which has already hurt someone in a public area chafes both character and player.
I don't think that would be helpful at all the metaplot though.

Handwavium?

I think handwavium is the intent if it went flying all the way to the distant mountains.

At first I thought that Voltorb was just an funny aside, but now that you bring it in context, that Voltorb could cause some serious damage. If it came from the deyo field, though, then that is just going to reinforce Ventus' bad feeling about it.

[Iron]

You can go get it if you want. It can't have flown more than a half day's travel.

But also the world is full of bomb balls. It's Pokemon. Voltorbs breed and multiply!!

Ventus and Sochi can hear the explosion if they wish, since it would occur shortly before finding the Shellder (which I'm typing up right now). She wouldn't recognize the source but Ventus might.
