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

[Dragonstrike]

Hope this doesn't sound wrong, but I can't wait to see what you come up with about that, mate!

I've just decided on some music for the route, too!  Hope you're also looking forward to that!

...Well, if Gallade's reaction isn't telling enough that Alamanc is up to some nefarious shit in that research facility, then we need to get our sense of omen check out.

Moving on to Encounters, Terra would be interested in fighting the Miltank with Anubi (or more accurately, letting Anubi off the leash to pummel them), but I'd be happy to take the *Sandshrew Encounter instead! I do have a question before I make a post, though: Will the Dunsparse Egg hatch before or after Terra does an Encounter?

After you select. It looks very close to hatching, but it hasn't hatched yet.

Ah, gotcha mate. That means Terra's going to be in for a bit of a shock after he goes confronting whatever poor Pokémon that had the misfortune of attracting his attention!

Another question: What is the feasibility of conducting an assault/stealth op on that Alamanc Base, both in terms of mechanical difficulty and whether or not the Police would get called in? Normally I'd be all gung ho to  teach those animal wrong activists what for, but after that one time a Scimitar called the Rangers on Ven (I have not forgot about that dreadful affair....), I've been leerly of interacting with either Alama or the Scims unless the consequences of doing so are minimized.

It looks like they have prepared for intruders, so there will be a lot of difficult rolls. You already know Almanac has rent-a-cops (private security). If you were caught you're not sure if the rentacops would deal with you, or the real police, but it would definitely be illegal to break into this facility.

In other words, don't bother with the place at all and just ignore it, unless you either direct us there via plot/exploitable opportunity arises. Tsk....if there's one thing I dislike about this campaign compared to the Pathfinder ones I've played, its that you really can't get away with nothing remotely immoral, dubious or risky, unless you over prepare like a serial bunker builder and/or you're literally thrust into it. Even then, its still a gamble whether or not things will turn out well. Prime example of this is the Water Scim Base, as that felt more harrowing than it should be due to all the ancillary stuff surrounding it. Or at least it feels like that. 

*Shrugs* Thems the breaks, I suppose, so I'll just carry on and let Almanac do its own no doubt terrible thing.

I'll choose an Encounter when I'm home from work and on an actual keyboard so please wait for me, it itches me a little to try out the newly thaught TM Moves.

Anyone else think that invisible Pokemon is probably a Kecleon? Invisible Pokemon = Camaleon Pokemon.

[Spiritmon]

Hmm interesting. Kecleon have abilities Color Change and Protean. And have access to Camouflage move. That Pokemon could be useful for battle strategy shenanigans. Maybe I should have take the invisible Pokemon encounter but too late now.

It's not too late until everyone selects an encounter, and I'm waiting on Shiva to pick one, so you can freely swap until that happens!

You can also give me your top choices of Encounter, like "Unless Shiva wants Invisible Pokemon, I'll take it. If Shiva does want the Invisible Pokemon, I'll take Sandshrew."

[Dragonstrike]

*ahem*

I've still not picked one yet either.  Still trying to decide on which one I wanna take.

[Iron]

Bill has a nice quasi-farmland-type area around his summer retreat, so I'm going to do another round of Encounters after this one but before Bill. Just so you can plan accordingly. I think Nathan's character would at least know this info, and Tanuki might have mentioned it in small talk.

[Lord Windos]

Just as a reminder that I'll be unavailable to post until sometime after 8:00 PM between all the work I have to do on Mondays, so I'd like to 'lock in' my Encounter for the Tall Grass and request that it be overlooked until I can come back. If everyone else has started + finished their Encounters, just move on and auto complete mine so that I'm not killing the pace. Alright?
