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

Speaking of that, how the heck is the boy handling his nightmare coming EXPONENTIALLY true?

Probably not too well, I fear. :C Be brave, Nathan!~ However, nowhere did it stated that the elusive one with the scared eye is among the small contingent that goes after him.

Figured it was that or your internet connection was being an ass, mate! As for Nathan's wish, that depends on whether or not he's going to be multi-tagged teamed by Absol. If not, Ven's gunna come in to help, but if so, then he's going to try and draw agro away from you so that only your target is buggering you. His priority is to protect you in this Running, and that means keeping him from being mass attack by Absol and/or directly assiting him with one in particular!

Just don't mess with the Scarred Absol.  At all.  Doing so is a surefire way to widen the rift between the two them.

@Lord Windos, you're only 1 spend Dext Point away from a Snubbull!!!

[Iron]

Ventus is not currently in position to mess with Scarred Absol, even with Raphael.

That's pleasant to hear since it prevents huge trouble within the group.

Question, is there actually a limit how often one can run from an Encounter and force a new Encounter Roll?

[Lord Windos]

Well, that is one way to DM lock me out of the battle, Iron. Not sure if I appreciate it or not, but your say goes in this game, mate! I have a couple of questions, though: Does spending my 'DEX' permenantly get rid of them for the rest of the Running, or do they refresh between encounters? In addition, does fleeing from a Pokémon constitute as using up a Vit point for an encounter, or is it retained until a Pokémon is properly engaged?

[Iron]

Fleeing from battle spends a Vit point. And it can fail. Dex refreshes after every encounter, so spend away!

I don't think Ventus in this rampaging herd of Pokemon has a realistic chance of keeping up with Nathan, who has higher Dex, faster terrestrial Pokemon, and has trained for this. Considering you wanted to chase down only the extra Absols anyway, it probably doesn't matter. But there are still ways for you to get to multiple Absol, so it should be fine. Also, this uber-chaotic feature of the Running was my plan since day 1, and I've been looking forward to testing it out! : ) The encounters are random by their very nature, with the exception of this Pokemon who is seeking Nathan out.

If you want to try something out-of-the-box you are still welcome to do so, FYI!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I enjoy these mechanics you designed here, Iron.

Curious what you will do now, Windos; since Ven is out of extremely messing with Nathan and special Absol!~
