[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

"I do nott, except to sayy it has aalways been that wayy. It is a creeature of raage."


Yeah the Bulbapedia lists are irrelevant beside the corebook, but I have been lenient with Rain Dance in the past. If you really want that move on any water Pokemon where it makes sense, you can get it.

Lets see them...Swampert will learn them Water Pledge and Hydro Cannon.

For other moves interested, how much it would cost for Swampert learn Hydro Pump, Muddy Water and Rain Dance?

Speaking in water types, you still didnt give the data of Eletux and Shrimputy since we return from the Skull Ruins. Could you please send the data so I can see if there is any those two could learn any other move?

[Iron]

Eletux and Shrimputy, being Tandor mons, get the luxury of their entire TM and Tutor learnsets (unless it's a move that's not in the rulebook at all).

Eletux has 3 Base HP and knows only Tackle, Tail Whip, and Water Gun. Ability is Static of course.
Shrimputy, being a baby, only has 2 Base HP and knows Bubble, Water Sport, Focus Energy, and Smokescreen - but it knows Bullet Seed as an egg move.

Moves are 50$ per XP cost.

I'll also give everyone $1700 worth of treasure for their undersea explorations so far. That's lost coins, maybe a few minor historically valuable artifacts, and the occasional Pearl or whatever.

Lets see them...

For Eletux, Aqua Jet, Scald, Water Pulse, Rain Dance, Hydro Pump and Brine.

For Shrimputy, Octazooka, Scald, Hydro Pump, Water Pulse, Rain Dance, Brine and Aqua Jet.

Those guys is my choice of moves of Water Moves for them.

Ah, then no Water Pledge on any of Shiva's Pokemon... Am a bit sad about that, but it's fair and reasoned, and I guess you can't just get everything you wish for in an RPG. Happy that I got Water Pulse on Raphael for free though thanks to Primal Kingdra, as that was a move I aimed to get on him by tutoring myself!~

1,700$P have been added to her funds, thank you for that too! And yes Shiva will use any cash given on Primal Kingdra for tutoring waterly moves on her Pokemon on restoration efforts and protection of nature, for example by buying packages of seeds to grow new plants and funding honest organisations and projects.

I don't have anything to say or add to the scene with Primal Kingdra, so I'm fine to return to the submarine. There are a few Pokemon of Shiva that would kinda appreciate to learn DIVE afterall! And I really wish to eventually head to the underground Lab and work on fulfilling Shiva's in-chara goal of obtain-saving a Nucleon at best.

[Iron]

Shiva, would you then like to take the lead a bit in exploring the lab? What's the plan?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oops, saw Shiva say fifty and didn't bother to check. We should stick with the original 75$ for consistency, but I'll up the treasure from 1700$ to 2000$.

Whoops, my bad, should have checked instead of relying on my memory that told me it was 50$ per XP. Sorry, updated my post and amount of cash in charashet accordingly.

Shiva, would you then like to take the lead a bit in exploring the lab? What's the plan?

Yes, yes I kinda would like to do that, thankies! ^//^ Well let's see for starters Primal Espeon is out and close to Shiva as his honed senses and skill to foresee any dangers ahead may turn out useful. "Pay close attention to anything unusual, my dear one...." she tells her wise-old-man-Eeveelution, "There must be something around if we're not to late yet." That, and she keeps herself attentive and alert AND that precious Nuclear Gem she once found within a treasure chest down the Skull Ruins close in her hand.

Locked doors and doors that require passwords to open are sought out especially by her. But first of all, what's of interest upon taking just a few steps inside these labs, what's the general feeling down here, what might catch our eyes and curiosity upon letting the gaze wander across the scenery/room?

[Iron]

The guards spread out around the perimeter of the lab complex, hemming you in with their promise not to interfere... and not to let anything dangerous get out.

There are a whole lot of ways to go from inside the lab complex, accessible from a tubular hallway running a donut around the various rooms. A lot of these doors are locked and the crew won't open them for you. You can hear strange droning sounds and see weird colorful lights coming from under the doors. There are also rooms that sound like they've got various elemental themes - a room buzzing with electricity, a room with the swishing of waves, etc.

One room has a greenish glow coming from underneath it. Guarding this door is a sort of transparent airlock, hung with hazmat suits.

Another possibility for a Nucleon room is an airtight door with a big wheel for a doorknob. Lots of warmth is emanating from this door.

[Dragonstrike]

Which rooms are unlocked already that the military wants us to check out?  That's an important question too.

[Lord Windos]

While the rest of the group is exploring Garliburg's Labs, Terra's chilling on the beach right now with his Pokemon right now, as after his involuntary accelerated aging he's had about enough adventure for one day. Rare, but considering what happened....

Ventus, on the other hand.....remind me of what he's exactly been doing with Shiva, @PhantomUnderYourDesk ? I'd imagine that whatever it was, he'd be right with her in the thick of things, all smiles and politeness, but about as on edge as Heart's Aegislash when its biting into an opponent. The laboratory is the natural environment of the researcher, but this place doesn't exactly set him at any sort of ease, after the rumors he's heard about it and all the armed military guards mucking about the place.

[Iron]

They reported that the more central rooms of the lab were where things went wrong - that would include the elemental rooms, the warm room, and the green glowing room. However, the green glowing room is definitely locked. The warm room could be potentially dangerous to open, of course, given the metal + heat thing, but doesn't look purposely locked. The same is true for the elemental rooms.

The military has made it clear to Shiva that your party is on their own here.

If there's anything else you are looking for down here, you can let me know and I'll tell you which rooms have the most potential.
