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

[Lord Windos]

"Raichu has no more tricks up his sleeve. 2 v 1 is...is...not really fair....zzzz"

The guy passes out right there. You can see his wallet sticking out of his shirt pocket, at least. Looks like a hip flask as well.

...

...well then...

Yeah, that was my reaction to, following Lilith nearly being made into collared greens by that Thunderbolt. Yeowch, that Raichu is brutal, with or without a Crit and Screech debuff!

Another thing you notice as you go through the massive Violet Tent: Nothing legitimately "magical" seems to exist unless it be something connected to Pokemon. All the believable supernatural items utilize Pokemon in some way, while all the magic purporting to be caused by humans is really just beautiful chicanery.

Pokemon are magic on their own it seems, very cool.

You know, the inside of the Violet Tent doesn't disappoint me at all, me and Shiva quite enjoy this place. Positively suprised that they even sell Eggs, will take a look at them as well as what Pokemon they sell next! Also, Iron, can Pokemon only be 'sold' here or can they (*Druddigoncough*) also be 'traded'? And is it possible to sell Pokemon on one's own as well - or, asking a little differently, could Shiva sell both Nuzleaf here for either cash or items from Violet Tent equal to their value? How much cash would she roughly get for these, is there a PC nearby just in case?

Also, you haven't come back yet to how much these Enigma Berry Candy actually cost - unlike to what the others hinted, am I actually interested in letting the dice decide whether Shiva gets some more Will and her Pokemon + or - 10XP, as well as maybe even one Enigma Berry on its own for a Rare Encounter.

Ven would strongly disagree that Pokémon are magical by and large, and just claim scientific reasons for their powers/abilities! If he's fairly intolerate/paranoid/suspicious/hateful about magic/arcane stuff, then claiming Pokémon are such stuff would irritate him to no end!

I actually like it myself, but if Ventus saw it he'd be quite tempted to see if he could get away with arson or who knows what else in attempts to purge the earth of such wicked, vile, fiendish practices (in his eyes!)! As it stand, Ven's going nowhere near that place even if Shiva tries to drag him there and their are nice goodies there like Silver Powder/Miracle Seeds and nice TMs! That place is just too horrifying/abominable for my character, similar to how Nathan can't stand the Dpt. Store due to Almanac's presense there!

Err, honey bunny, call me a wet blanket if you'd like, but I'd say you shouldn't buy those chancy items beside maybe the Enigma Berry, as that's just asking the dice to screw you over in creative and cruel ways. If you want the candy, you can always buy it and use it as bait for Pokémon you may or may not want to catch, as if the roll is successful they get free XP upon catch per candy, and if it blows you can just trade them away and not deal with the debt!

Well, it might help...maybe.

BTW, Nathan actually knows one more thing that might help with finding it, but I keep forgetting to bring it up.  Whoops.

I'm feeling confident it helps as this person, neatly called Mr. Finder, says he finds things and the Fortune Hunter often asks for his help, that's enough proof for Shiva personally. We'd have to share the cost for his hirering, I won't take them alone.

I can't read minds.

Ven will definitely chip in to cover the costs if it means the Secret Librarby/Other Important things get found sooner rather than later, though he'll do it by proxy (IE: Shiva) rather than ever approach his place of business!
