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

[Spiritmon]

I should change that googles of mine. You right, the Calculations is correct. Forget what I say.

@Spiritmon

Suggestion for ya: use Strikes instead of Scratch. The chip damage you'll deal should be more consistent since nothing resists a typeless move. Plus, the maximum potential damage for Striking is currently the same as Scratch's, so...

@Dragonstrike and @Lord Windos, I gladly repeat that while Kirlia calming Nathan and having him forget what ailed him was a good call actually and neatly solved things for Nathan and saved him from avoiding both Shiva and Ven, it didn't solved a thing for her. The irony is that it seemingly made it worse, since things could have been eased if he'd calmly explain why he even desired to battle and what the intention was - as well as rather soon fixed with an honest apology from Nathan for putting my chara through emotional havok. This won't ever happen now and don't get me wrong here, I certainly do not want or ask for for Nathan to remember things. It can't be brought back.

Though, the party has overdone it now and please do understand that I can't just have Shiva forgive and forget as Ven did after all that she endured already. (Sidenote, with incoming level-ups I'm collecting for I'll strenghten her resilience to prevent her from... considering a horrible thing again). Her ability to forgive is not endless and she isn't used to deal with demanding stressful situations as happened during and after battle like Windos' chara is. She'll still interact with Nathan and Ven normally as even possible since she and me hate beings at odds with party members, while the scars of inclicted wounds live on in her. Talking about that vision might have saved things it seems, but 1. me too wanted to start our way to the next city as soon as possible and 2. when she was greatly disappointed about learning that the chance for an apology has been killed by Nathan not remembering what he'd even have to apology for, she was outright done for the moment.

This all started with what has been named That Battle, and I hope it was worth everything it has caused. To me, it was not and has done more harm to the party than I enjoy, if I'm very honest,  and the positive effect of how it was supposed to help Nathan understand things is kinda likely lost as well with the memory...

...Let's just move on now and enjoy that mini-Running Iron promised us on the way to Star City. I do have an idea how Shiva certainly would feel better about what Nathan has put her through, I'll send it to both of you via PM now.

[Spiritmon]

Well, I agree with Phantom. And dont get me wrong too, but that "amnesia" comming from Nathan Drake is...to much convencience to be honest. I can see many problems in a future not so much far away.

[Dragonstrike]

@PhantomUnderYourDesk

I was aiming to try and solve this issue ASAP.  That vision screwed with my plans way too much, though, so now they've been delayed slightly.  No, it won't happen in exactly the optimal way now, but there will be an apology (hopefully sooner rather than later)

@Spiritmon

Warren.  Not Drake.  

And the problems would be far worse if Nathan remembered what happened during the battle.  Including Nathan's future interactions with Heart.  The guy's on thin ice as it is, and I don't think you want that getting any worse.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

The issue is that Shiva could feel like an apology from Nathan might not be THAT honest/heartfelt if he doesn't even remember what he did wrong. But, actually, Ventus already told him what he did wrong - that could help a little. I certainly don't want Nathan to spiral down, though. :C Stay strong... (It's sufficient if Ven and Shiva are already downcast to an unhealthy degree currently)

[Spiritmon]

Well, guys. Going to bed now. Got some issues here in home, and I feel tired and stress today...tomorrow I be better I hope. See ya.

[Iron]

Sorry I missed yesterday. I slept for 36 hours! Had some kind of fever. All better now.

[Lord Windos]

Sorry I missed yesterday. I slept for 36 hours! Had some kind of fever. All better now.

Oh dear, that sounds utterly horrid! Do you mind if I pray for you anyway, even though you are all better? Every little bit of help counts, and I don't want you to suffer a relapse into a semi coma.....

[Iron]

Thank you.

Coma is the right word for it!

I kept dreaming of a high Tower, filled with long skinny vertical rooms, twisted together in an endless maze like a cluster of wires. Even if you climbed downward, you always ended back up at the top. It felt like I traversed that Tower hundreds of times over that 36 hours.
Gonna have to work that into a D&D game.
