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

[Spiritmon]

I forget about see the map. Hmm acording to the map there too some carnivore plants so we might watch out about any plant. Be careful Phantom if you search any herbs.

The color matches, haha. I don't really get why the called this toy after unicellular organisms though.

"Touching it (Muk) may cause a fever that will require bed rest", Corebook says... As well as a good diet being capable of reducing its toxicity. Neat.

Be careful Phantom if you search any herbs.

Pfff, I still would like to search for an arrowroot.

[Spiritmon]

Yeah. And in the anime Muk hug everyone and they okay (except Bellsprout. R.I.P. Bellsprout). I might be careful if I touch a grimmer. Although the Alola Muk have more Amoeba face because of the multicolors. There people who dont like but I kinda like it. Wait, why is there Lord Windos in the quote?

Eh... I have no idea either, actually, now that you point it out (would have missed it otherwise, so thanks for doing so). Probably messed up the quotes accidently, I fixed that.

[Spiritmon]

Well, I will wait about make my post to see Iron roll the dice to know if I could find a better path for us to go.

Now we have three people (Valder if not persuaded otherwise, Ventus, Shiva) for making a beeline to the swamp, with increased wildflowers along the way. Nathan would rather find the tracks to the lake and then follow Route 10. Spirit is awaiting GM's input.

That phrashing from Ven refers to the last time the group encountered a swamp and the first time they got in contact with Scimitars of the Earth Element.

The group was attacked by a man who claimed to have created the swamp we encountered on Route 01.  He used no pokemon, and was incredibly sturdy and inhumanly strong and fast.  He also had a friend, but she got bored and left when the group didn't take the obvious bait.

We've since learned he's what's known as an Earth Scimitar, a member of a small group of 'mages' able to manipulate elements like earth and water, and with ambitious objectives of their own.  Valder has some ties to them, though he doesn't really talk about his past much.

Ralts (now Kirlia) HATES that man with a passion.

Mages? Now I see everything. They are similar to a evil group like Team Plasma or Team Rocket?

Not quite.  When we infiltrated a Water Scimitar base, there was a binder in there that specifically said they don't compare themselves to criminal organizations like those.

That said, though, there is evidence that they seem to be working with Almanac.

And while Ventus is adamant they're 'mages,' Nathan is adamant there's a reasonable explanation for why they seem to be able to control the elements like that, as humans that can display capabilities similar to a pokemon's are exceptionally rare.  And it seems to be tied to the metal gauntlets they wear, whatever the reason is.
