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

[Dragonstrike]

Phew...glad that's over with.  Still wondering about that Drowzee, but Nathan has another idea about why it might be there now that the group has actually met the queen.  It's probably not anything to worry about, either, as long as Vespiqueen doesn't view us as a threat.  Now, the next thing on the to-do list is the talk with Ventus...

Also, I quite like the idea of Nathan having a tiny little combee, strangely enough.  Not going to be worth a whole lot in the long term from a trainer standpoint, maybe, but there's plenty of RP reasons I can think of for Nathan to be the one who gets it.  Not sure if anyone else would be willing to spare the pokeball for it, either.

I would recommend holding off on the talks. Vespiqueen slammed one of his button hard , so talking to him right now would be liable for another explosion. You wouldn't believe how close he was to starting a fight with her after she let loose with the authority. Thank god for Ventus godly levels of self control....

I think Ventus will still be interested in what Nathan has to say.  The result of the combee feast discussion has...changed the topic of discussion somewhat, shall we say.  And Nathan's definitely not interested in picking a fight, either, which is a point he'll stress when he asks Ventus to join him for the talk.  The manner in which he asks it when they leave the hive might be the deciding factor in how Ventus reacts, even...

He'll be willing to talk; you just have to be very careful with your words. Ventus won't hurt you, but he might no be so forthcoming depending on how you approach him. He was this close to walk up to he and tearing her thought out with his bearing hands, so tread lightly.

Don't worry, I have a plan for how it will go.  Just need Iron to resolve the encounter in its entirety before we can start the talk.
