[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

If you're geared up, you can post an Area and any kind of goal you want, and I can get to rolling out your Safari Adventures!

I decide to equipe a few things before getting started in the Cup.

Remembering the warning of his ancestor, Heart again decide to change his team to bring some of his most powerfull and balanced Pokemon with him:

- Rose (Holding Black Belt)
- D-Onix (Holding the Everlink Armor)
- Percival (Holding Leftlovers)
- Gustav (Holding the Luck Egg)
- Heracross (Holding Razor Claw)
- And Natu (Holding Miracle Rood to get access to Grass Knot)

Heart choose this lineup just in case he might need a quick escape with Natu. Rose and Gustav is pratically two of his most powerfull pokemon. D-Onix and Percival its the most sturdy Pokemon to act as a line of defense. And also because of D-Onix Tailwind. I ready to go @Iron.

Since Terra isn't participating in the Safari Cup in anyway, and no other Encounters are listed, then he's going to spend his day fishing! First Encounter will be spent using Better Quality Bait and Bastiodon as his Pokemon of choices, so let's hook some big bag fishies!

Spira's up for a challenge, so as he goes into the Safari Zone, he immediately heads to the deepest part, area 6. He's specifically looking for rare and/or dangerous Pokemon.

[Iron]

Safari Zone - Nathan 1
Area 1: (4) No problems there.
Area 4 aggression: (1)
Rarity: (2)(4)(6) - 2 Safari Successes

Nathan sneaks up on what turns out to be a Phanpy. But while his back is turned to a small pond, he feels a pinch on his back, and turns around to find himself face to face with an aggressive Krabby.

Heart, what Area (1 through 6) are you heading for?

[Dragonstrike]

Safari Zone - Nathan 1
Area 1: (4) No problems there.
Area 4 aggression: (1)
Rarity: (2)(4)(6) - 2 Safari Successes

Nathan sneaks up on what turns out to be a Phanpy. But while his back is turned to a small pond, he feels a pinch on his back, and turns around to find himself face to face with an aggressive Krabby.

Welp, here goes, then!  Juliet and Grid tag team against Krabby!  Let's see how the crab pokemon holds up against Nathan's main status inflicters.

Question number 1, though: is Krabby male or female?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

You still get your 3 Encounters per day, which you can spend on foraging or Pokemon, and 5 Safari Balls. But your hidden Encounter list will be shorter because you spend some of that time on chores and such.

You are partnered up with Ranger Jiordan in Area 6, but he'll be on the edge of shouting distance.

That sounds fair and agreeable, going for Pokemon to catch isn't Shiva's main goal during her shifts - these can be left to the participants of the Cup though she would and will attempt to catch something that crosses her path and allures her interest: She'll just be way more selective.

Jiordian sounds like a female name, but if it's a 'he' we'll adress him that way. Him being just on the edge of shouting distance is actually, now to think about it, perfect: Shiva's not confident enough to be responsible for Area 6 all alone, but not being glued to the side of an experienced Ranger has a good chance to bring possibilities to take leaps of faith and opportunities to proof herself. If she desires continue becoming more sure of herself, she has to regularly work on that after all! Shiva believes that during dusk and night which will fall when her shift on Area 6 begins, there'll be less Poison Types crawling around and maybe more participants in need for help.


During her first shift = first Encounter in Area 4 she's having Primal Glaceon and Lilith by her sides, the former to enjoy the beautiful nature around a bit AND to be ready immediately, while Lilith with her strong psychic powers and foretelling skills might sense it if there's danger or people in need for help closeby. Raphael is also out, the benelovent archangel is soaring the sky high above to follow his given task: Look out for any dangerous sceneries involving wild Pokemon and Cup Participants and warn Shiva properly.

When it'll be time for her downtime, she'll search for things from the Art Category, she isn't searching for anything in particular. Is the time of the year for Stantler and Sawsbuck to shed their antlers? If so, she'll search for one or two durying her whole time as Volunteer Ranger but ONLY if she won't be guilty of an offence by taking it as I just read online that just keeping found antlers is considered poching in some countries.
This weird black sheeplike Pokemon that is said to be MUCH more aggressive and eager to fight than Mareep, what was it called again.... *looking up in Almanac* Ah, Baashaun! In what Area could that Tandormon be found?

[Iron]

Safari Zone - Spira 1
Area 1: (5) No problem escaping Area 1
Area 6 aggression: (2). As expected, there'll be some challenges here.
Area 6 rarity: (3)(2)(3)(2)(3)(5)(4)(6) - 7 Safari Successes. That's really rare!

An oversized Yanma with extra pointy mouthparts, almost fangs, flies between you and a rustling patch of grass where you think you saw a flash of pink. Yeah, you were almost certain that was a Chansey...

Then you hear a voice coming from....a tree? The tree says "Excuse me, could you stand aside please? I'm chasing a rare Pokemon." Looking closely, you can see human eyes looking out from a knothole. There's a trainer hiding in that hollow tree!

Fishing 1

(2)(5)(5)(2)(4)(1) (5) +1 = 5 successes.

There is a tug on the rod, a series of pulls. A Wartortle arises from the water, pulling itself hand over hand along your superstrong fishing line. Any other rod would have snapped - this Wartortle looks extremely strong.

Bastiodon: (6)
Wartortle: (3) + 3 Dex + 3 Survival

[Iron]

Safari Zone - Nathan 1
Area 1: (4) No problems there.
Area 4 aggression: (1)

(3) Krabby is female

Grid: (1)
Juliet: (1)
Krabby: (3) + 2 Dex + 4 survival
