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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Ohhhh, I already know very well who of my Pokemon could greatly benefit from knowing Toxic - out of character, that is. In character, she might get used to that first, but that's a nice base for more character development you are giving me here, @Iron. Thank you!

Question, do I have enough space in bagpack to carry that mason jar AND that complex of wiress with me? Someone of the party could easily help me on that - likely Ventus, since he's with me at the safe anyway - and I feel like showing it to Professor Mallorn/the League/any scientist that seems trustworthy. Already carried a Pokemon-egg in icubator across the reagion, so that thing should be no bigger problem.

Lucifer will eventually get that safe open, perhaps taking as long as it takes to read the binders just for this one task.

Basically, one of the party members will have to dedicate some time to the binders for Lucifer and Ventus to open the safe? How would that work in game, since Nathan is already reading through them and noting them down? Ventus just speed read them and went straight to the safe to crack it, so I am sorta confused about this...

[Iron]

Yeah you could fit it all.

Windos, I think the problem is that Dragonstrike posted about the binders first, and therefore you can't assume that it resolves to Ventus reading them (currently, it's unresolved who reads them). If it comes down to XP bidding we'll do that. But Ventus is also trying to do two things (safe and binders) while Nathan is only doing one (binders).

or like Shiva said you could divide and conquer.

[Iron]

I'm saying the time to read the binders is approximately as long as the time for Ventus to coach Lucifer through opening the safe.

[Dragonstrike]

The note taking is for:

1: Nathan's personal notes, since this information interests him greatly...not that he'll show that currently.

2: So we don't have to take the binders and quickly alert the Scimitars as to why we're down there when they discover they're missing.

Nathan is trying to keep things as efficient and risk free as he can in both the long and short term.

[Lord Windos]

Oh. So does that mean Ventus spent more time than I first thought going over all the info? Ventus is going to stay at the safe until he can crack it open, so he's willing to spend a lot of time on that event. Hmm....I wonder how the time is going to pass, then? I know Nathan is pooring over those books, but I there is no time frame when that will happen unless either Dragonstrike or you (Iron) declare that the right amount of time has passed. That part has me flumexed the most, to be honest.

Well, I guess I can just leave it to Nathan to be the keeper of the information, and just leave the binders alone. Time to edit that post yet again!

[Iron]

Ok, so here's what I can picture happening:

Ventus looks at the topic sentences of the binders, swears, and goes to mess with the safe.
By the time Ventus has the safe open, Nathan has finished his notetaking.
Ventus knows only the gist of the binders at this time, until he has a chance to get an update.
While all this is going on, Shiva can finish her looting.

[Iron]

Yeah or that, keep your initial post as flashback to when Nathan reveals binder contents.

@Lord Windos let me know when that post is done editing and I will reveal the safe's contents. I really like the image of Noibat helping to pick a lock.

Alright, I'll C&P that part of my original post and save it somewhere safe for later Flashback purposes, and elaborate on that depending on when and how the explaniation is given.

Time to re-edit my post AGAIN. Darn time constrants.
