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

[Dragonstrike]

This has basically been all we've discussed for the entire day. And I've had to put a lot of thought into how Nathan was going to react when Ventus announced his intent.

Nathan just turned down the chance to kill that Rattata himself. To just let Ventus do it anyways is going to go against everything he and Shiva just went through. And he stands a reasonable chance at stopping it, so he's going to hold nothing back as he tries just that.

But only if Aspis is removed from the battle first. And the only safe place to move Kirlia to is a town because of his injuries. It's a calculated risk. Yes, there's a chance Aspis or Kirlia could be left in a critical condition as a result. Aspis because of the law enforcement, Kirlia because he's already taken 3 Lethal Damage and could faint and take more due to Aspis KOing him before the law enforcement arrives. Hopefully, nothing ill results from this. Unfortunately, it might be difficult to get Aspis back later, but...if anyone gets a black mark for their actions, it'll probably be Nathan for the endangerment of the public through reckless action.

Unfortunately, we're playing two rather bull headed characters that both have reasonable justification for their actions, and this is the result. When wills clash, conflict arises. And it's never pretty. I'm not enjoying this any more than you are, I can assure you. Unless we want to retcon Ventus's decision to bolt and everything after it, there's not any easy way to avoid this. Well, unless Ventus can somehow lose Nathan.
