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

[Lord Windos]

Dragonstrike, diplomacy had some effect, but its rather clear that they'll still go BOOM on you and potentially cave in/destroy the area you two are in, which at the very least would separate the group and force Ven and Valder to try and dig their way through the wreckage. Right now, the preferable option is simply turning tail and running, then simply digging around the rocky trio and have them fight any Scims that try to follow after the group. Sure, it'll take more time and has a risk, but so is standing your ground and trying to negotiate to the guardians of this tunnel, and out of the two options I think the formor is a safer bet than the later. Even the sleep strat can fail if both Geodudes happen to out pace just one of your Sleepers, so why not just take the coward's option and flee? No shame in retreat, in my opinion...
