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

[Lord Windos]

(...) OOC , Iron would probably spell it out if Phantom ended up deading her chara or worse, and they (Phantom) don't seem too ruffled by things, so whatever happened is not THAT bad. (...)

Oh, I'm good. I just semi-rely on you people to return for reasons at the moment.

Glad to hear! Been worrying whether or not you were out of the game for an unforseeable time, which would break my heart if that happened!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That might break mine too in a way, dear, I like Shiva and her Pokemon way too much to kill them off. :o

[Spiritmon]

So...any plans on mind about how we can go though those bad guys without triggering one thousands alarms?

I hinted that more or less obvious in-game already, maybe it's just overread or ignored for some reason. In short,

my suggestion is

opening the fire and destroy the Gauntlets in the walls with our Pokemon's moves like me and Spira did before, starting with the West wall to crash the camera(s) hidden there. If my thoughts are going into the right direction, this will dismantle the cord Keni's tied with, someone/something will free Oscar with a Rock Smash or potent Fire Type move, snatch the drawing, photos and notes from the corkboard and we escape with the Unfinished Card.

Drawback is that this will likely cause a ruckus, benefit is that it feels safe to bring the desired result (to me at least, *shrugs mildly*)

I'm open for more and other ideas, but we should probably start doing something soon.

If there is fire on the plan, Rose is always up for that. She can use many powerfull Fire moves, including Fire Pledge. But I prefer avoid using that last one, because it burns EVERYTHING. But she know other powerfull fire moves such as Fire Punch or Flamethower. Not to mentioned she have access to Rock Smash. I can even burn the cards Keni have make for those Scims and Almanacs. That way, those demons will never able to continue theyre evil things. And we could do that using our best fire moves.

If we're going to attack the gauntlets, we might want to have Magic Room in effect first.  If that disables the cameras, it might buy us a little time while they try to figure out why the cameras went down (instead of us being the last thing the camera sees before it goes offline).

No matter what we do here, we're going to draw some attention if they're constantly monitoring the video feed of that room (unless we find and sneakily take out whoever's supposed to be watching the video).

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That's a good idea indeed. We could all send out our Pokemon from the current hiding spot to have them ready to pounce the moment the Magic Room goes off.

*gasps a bit* I remembered a drawback of said Magic Room - it nullyfies our Held Items and prevents Item Usage in general for 4 Rounds. Still, if I'm being honest... That's a risk I'm willing to take, but I can only speak for myelf.

The cord not 'responding' to the Gauntlet's movements makes me doubt, but it doesn't directly have to mean that destroying one won't break the other.

If it can help us save Keni and Oscar, Nathan's all for trying it.

Given how the gauntlets have reacted so far, they seem to mostly just be there for defensive/monitoring purposes as far as I can tell.  The cord could have also been created by gauntlets worn by the Scims themselves/Almanac's technology/something else instead of being maintained by the gauntlets on the wall.

In any case, we have three problems to address here:
1. The gauntlets on the wall will likely start attacking us as soon as we enter the room properly.  We'll likely have to destroy them no matter what happens.

2. Freeing Keni and Oscar.  Oscar should be pretty easy since we're just dealing with metal bars and chains.  The real problem is that Curious Cord and figuring out how to break it.  The colors might be the key to that, though.

3. Doing the above two points quickly so we can Teleport out with the cards ASAP.  If we take too long, the Scims/Almanac will probably show up to engage us as well and make things a ton harder.

Remember that Magic Room will also block those Cards, potentially.
