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

[Lord Windos]

Hmmmm...so since Swablu has 2 Disobedience right now, when she evolves, she'll have...4 Disobedience...oh my...an Altaria that might be incredibly violent...that's, uh...quite something, to say the least...

Its no worse than Angie, who's an absolute sweet heart to anyone who's both her and her father's friend, and serenely + politely aloof towards all else. Given Swablu's attitude, they'll likely be a fiesty, trouble making Dragon like Genie when she Evolves into an Altaria, which sorta fits in with their latent Fairy potential. Heck, since you have Noble Blood, you only need to raise their Loyalty once before their Disobedience becomes a non-issue, so I wouldn't fret about it! If anything, Terra's likely has the most to worry from them, if that living cotton swab ever meets with his dragonfly princess......

Are you going to give a nickname to the Swablu? Its not common, but neither is it all that rare either, so it might deserve on to set it (more) apart from its species.

Pro tip for @Spiritmon: make sure to add reminders in the orders whenever you're using a pokemon with an Ability like Blaze or Torrent (or most Abilities with conditional triggers, really).  I've noticed the effects of those Abilities have been forgotten fairly consistently (as an example, Netune's Whirlpool should have had 5 damage dice due to Torrent).  Reminders about easy to forget details like that can be incredibly helpful for the GM.

Oh yeah - I forgot it even though Heracross has pretty much the exact same ability.

"I will remember in make a reminder when send orders next time.

Also, still need to try to convince Heracross to join the party. Also, Heracross still trap in the Whirlpool, so it's a win to win bargain to him. And I have another thing to offer in case he refuse. Never reveal all your cards.

Also, I already have a idea of name to Heracross if he decide to join.

True, it's just weird to think of an Altaria being potentially violent on a regular basis, tbh, given the species's usual demeanor.

I'm thinking about it.  Haven't settled on any one name yet, though.

Spiritmon, Lord Windos, and Mikaruge108, what do you guys say to Shiva taking Togepi now rather than later?

Shiva wants to take it because it's the most unhappy pokemon Juni had, and a baby at that.  Something that Nathan and Gallade can definitely empathize with, but...

Nathan would rather it stay in Thrawn's custody for now because it can always be adopted through legal channels later (and the League won't mistreat it even though they can't give it as much personal attention), and it's potentially a strong piece of evidence against Juni.

I'm rather ambivalent on the matter OOC, true the Pokemon would make invaluable evidence against Juni, but I also can see why Shiva would want to adopt it now, if nothing else, preventing it from going through all the legal stuff that might make it even more unhappy. Although Spira would probably lean more toward Nathan's opinion.

So that means we have:

- One strong opinion and one weaker one for keeping Togepi
- Two strong opinions and one weaker one for not keeping Togepi

Welp, if we're doin' this based off of those results, that means Togepi is going with Thrawn and will have to be adopted later.

I got the message already, moving onwards.

Just totaling results and trying to keep it as objective as I can.

You'll have to dismiss the whirlpool if you want to let Heracross surrender. Otherwise it's likely to knock him out (75% chance).

Whirlpool dismiss. Now let the dice decide for himself.

@Dragonstrike, nothing changes about how Pancham is asked to help out Gallade in managing Drain Punch. Neither in-chara nor outta-chara, all's fine on that front.
