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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Now Nathan's worried about Carbink, and I'm rather salty about losing out on a decent chunk of exp and an encounter slot. Graaaggghhh...

XP we can get anytime, and one lost Encounter Slot - who cares! It's not like we're in a MASSIVE hurry - we have to move quick to outrun the Scimitars on finding the Library, that's true, but it's no excuse to take the risk of massive damage from the Carbink and the Geodude to us and our Pokemon and deal with a very possible cave in that an explosion would cause. Making a laid-out battle-plan is nice and good, but to me it still felt like too many Rolls had to succeed to make it work. Sorry that I've been so adamant about wanting to flee, but I'd rather not take the very real risk that cloaked the Encounter. Like, I don't want to imagine too graphically what would happen if that Carbink would have hit Shiva in the first place. o.o

If Nathan in-game doesn't stop worrying, I guess Shiva does indeed have to take him aside and at least attempt to make heard that these stony Pokemon can take care of themselves rather well and if they were to meet the Scimitars - so be it then!
