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

[Lord Windos]

I feel like Shiva's ice is rather uncalled for here.  Yes, Rotom crossed the line.  But any other pokemon that did so would have likely gotten the same treatment, and I doubt Rotom is eager to annoy Gothitelle again.  Magic Room is fairly harmless, but Psyshock definitely isn't.  Particularly after a Heal Block...

A quick word from Ventus or Director North about that should hopefully loosen the tension a little...

I'm afraid to say, but I agree with you completely. Nathan didn't and couldn't have known about Rotom's past exploits, and he was just having a semi casual discussion of obtaining it for himself with some fair advice and warning from Ventus, so I honestly don't see much reason for that level of backlash unleash Shiva is REALLY sensitive/defensive about the wellbeing of her Gothitelle. Which, considering her fascination and slight reveration with her, is certainly within reason for them to act that way, but its still a shock to the system, and a mostly unjustifiable one at that. Looks like Ven will have to run damage controll when he finally snaps out of his shock induced state....

How bad is Heal Block, really? Sure, it prevents healing, but it wears off after 4 Rounds and doesn't make wounds any worse, unless the DM decides to make it that way or creatively interpreting 'Forcing Wounds to Stay Open' (Paraphrazing here)....
