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

Reporting HP isn't a mistake lmao

In most cases, I agree. In cases where it leads to characters getting put on the chopping block....

I agree with Iron on this one.  While the GM can check the players' stats with the tools we have setup, it's usually the players' job to keep track of them accurately.  If a GM can trust their players to do that, they can focus more on the NPC stats.

If something big like that happened in a game and the player didn't say anything about it, only for the GM to find out later...well, what happens next depends on the GM.  Honesty is a virtue, and also a necessity in these kinds of games (OOC, at least).

Y'all are definitely having supply problems though. Luckily, you're in a land of shipwrecks.

You think so? The only thing I'm low on are means to heal Status Ailments actually.
Oh dear no, that's not a suggestion to fire them all at me now

[Lord Windos]

How's everyone else doing on supplies, tho ?

Nathan has plenty of Potions and Pokeballs (plus some Berry Juice), but low on Revives.  We need to keep as many of our pokemon from getting KOed as possible, or we're goin GB to be in for a bad time (unless we find a large cache of items capable of reviving characters)

I have 3 Revives for now, and only used my last Hurtloam to Revive Sari so she'd be Conscious during her Evolution. I also got plenty of Berries that can fix up a number of problems, including quite a few Sitrus Berries, so no problems on that front too!

Agreed! Though given Terra's current team, it'll take a lot to actually put a dent into his numbers. Heck, Arete fully Revives after a Long Rest, Mikey is near immortal outside of Heal Block and Plot Devices/Extreme Lethal Damage, and it takes a whole mob of Pokemon to dent/down Angie. Between those three, my chara. has a heck of a lot of sustain right now.

Is Nathan going to investigate the Chasms with/without Shiva and Terra? For that matter, is Heart and Spira going to be doing so themselves, @Spiritmon and @Mikaruge108 ?

Fair point, but I still stand by the own I made. Honesty is always a great policy, but when it literally put your character in a scenario where they are likely to DIE, then I can't help but question why anyone wouldn't just keep their mouth shut and not say anything about it. Luckily Spira ended up getting rescued before going SPLAT, but if he didn't....well, I believe the alternative scenario speaks for itself.

Let's not forgot that, though, that Spira's brief but probably fatal fall could have been avoided ENTIRELY had he just healed Luna to Full either by Potions, Roost (If it has it), or Heal Pulse. I can sorta respect and accept Mika having the courage/integrity to point out that Luna should have been Fainted by Steam Eruption (Even if I think that was foolish), but I can't really say the same to them not practicing due caution.

I definitely agree with that.  Better to take action to prevent the problem in the first place than to wait for @#$% to hit the fan before doing anything about it. It's a lot easier and less costly to heal a Pokemon/character than it is to Revive them (which is why we're having supply problems. Potions and Heal Pulse are worthless when it comes to KOed characters)

As for Wish, the wording of the Move says as follows: 'At the beginning of the next Round, this Move becomes a Basic Heal. Some wishes may be granted.' It doesn't specify say that the Pokemon that USED Wish is the only one that recieves the Basic Heal, and the second part of the Move leaves it rather open to interpretation as for what it really can do. This pretty much allows Wish to act as a Basic Heal to Pokemon/Humans that 'Switch Out' with Raphael, among other things.

The effect icon is User. But due to the second part I'm ok with it healing someone else or healing someone at a later time, if the Pokemon using Wish likes the target. I think it's supposed to be a versatile move.

Yeah, I probably should have healed her more, but as they say, hindsight is 20/20.
Speaking of supplies, Spira's healing supplies are as follows:
-Potion: 2
-Awakening: 1
-Chesto Berry: 1
-Will Point Orchid: 1
-Full Heal Orchid: 3
-Potion Orchid: 3

Heart will go with everyone too. Better face the danger together instead of alone.

Alright, is Nathan going to venture into the Chasms with the rest of the group, @Dragonstrike, or is he going to remain on the surface to keep an eye on the Scims/do his own things? You haven't said anything about that yet.

I've been super busy at work today.  One of my coworkers moved to a different department and his replacement is part-time instead of full-time, so scheduling is suuuuper tight right now.

Nathan will stay up top to keep an eye on things there and possibly look into anything interesting on the surface.  He still doesn't fully trust the scims.
