[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Spiritmon]

That's so great, well done, Spirit!! A tiny  but very meaningful step forward indeed!

Thank you! Still going to do some english courses on my side to learn more and more about english language since there still some words I didn't know how to translate, but thankfully Dragonstrike helped me in find the right words.

Just don't know what system to try out first to GM for you people. 5e is out of the way for obvious reasons. Pf2e could be a nice option since it is the system I been GM more, and there some ideas I have in mind. Tormenta 20 is a nice option too since I will soon start GM a One Shot of Tormenta 20 to learn how the system works, and then I can show you guys how it works. 

I will probably just make a vote with you guys to see what you people would might like more.

Hey Dragonstrike , you busy IRL ? 'Cause if you are let me know, since me and Phantom need your input before we can properly get into things.

Apologies for the silence.  Mario Kart World has been very distracting.  Unlocked all the costumes, carts, and Mirror Mode now though, so I've mostly had my fill for now and can refocus on other things again.  Gonna be doin' a little catching up real quick, and then should be posting soon(ish).

No posts from me tonight. Got called in to work and need to make sure my department isn’t collapsing without a night stocker. Will respond ASAP afterwards, so don’t worry about another long break!

[Dragonstrike]

I'm wishing to take on Group 1 with Citrine and Ralice and Dragonstrike(? Plus his assigned NPCs?), scout the area of that group first with Lunn's aerial drone, set up defenses and buffs before the fight, then do a Stealth Attack on whether we can get a free Action against them, then take this Group out fast with Equinox and a colorful mixture of strong spells. What needs discussion/what I'm yet unsure of whether to set up Hail+AuroraVeil right away or not yet, depends whether/how much Seddi and Citrine benefit from it.

I can confirm that Seddi's team does not overly benefit from Hail directly, and the weather condition might have some negative synergy with Leaves and her Verdant Terrain (cold weather + greenery), but that's really only a major issue if Leaves has to come out and play in the first place.  Goodra might not be a big fan either due to being a Dragon.

Outside of Ceruledge's Fire type moves, Rain is the weather condition that Seddi's team currently benefits the most from, with some fringe cases for Sun.  Ice type moves are probably stronger overall against the Palossand though. Goodra can set up Rain if desired, and in the event that Seddi has to use Leaves, Rain and Sun both have some synergy with her Verdant Terrain.

Rabsca can set up Light Screen and Reflect if he has enough time to do so, but it may not be as effective as an Aurora Veil from Zephy's movepool (we've seen Lani smash through a barrier created by Sylvia effortlessly.  Other Pseudo tier pokemon are likely capable of similar mechanical interactions)

An assassination/free stealth attack strike is likely to be less effective against a group with two leaders, but it may still be a viable tactic.  Chopping off one head may cause the other one to panic if we can do it quickly and efficiently.  It could also remove an obstacle to coordinating the weaker forces since the two are having some teamwork issues, but that's a bridge we'd cross when we get there I suppose.

Hope it goes relatively smoothly!

Hmm... I take Citrine does also benefit from Rain, if it's set up (answer pending from Windos, after your nightshift is done). And I also take that Rain and then setting up Hail + Aurora Veil (or the other way round) has some positive interactions? What I kinda fear however is if I go for the combo of Hail+Aurora Veil now against the Groups, the Boss will find ways to break/nullify that combination. Currently leaning into not setting it up, but saving it for the actuall big Boss Fight when we're all together as one? Depends however how well we can pull off that Stealth attack, and what results from the information gathering of yours and the input/insight of my Water Scim companion.

So taking down one of the two leaders quickly, then focusing on the other is it, good good. I've noted that down. Should be possible if going straight to powerful spells and Equinox's Nuclear moves. 

Very good thinking of gathering information about that Masked Wolf and Sand Whale indeed!

Even though Darren's not involved, this song came to mind for me with the event

I pretty sure there gonna be complications to deal with Zoeti if we meet face to face again. But that will have to wait for later. I do hope I might have a chance to at least try to build bridges of trust with her, or at least try to build bridges of forgiveness. Since Oz act out of worrying, confusion and anger. I hope Zoeti at least understand where Oz actions came from, no matter how much time it takes.

@Dragonstrike And f you want to pay for the Info on Masked Wolf then you can say so here and I’ll get to posting it when I can. Negotiation is also possible!
