[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

(Bah, sleeping in after a busy night and a whole lot of posts came up. Oh well, time to make an abridged one...)

-Ventus is a bit charinged and angry at the news that not only were their well over a dozen Scimitars, but they were cowardous enough to hang back all the way at the beginning of their mountain trail. He expresses such sentiments to the group, as well as his frustrations at the games they were playing.

-Unlike the rest of the group, Ven still advocates going after the Scimitars. He cites that while doing so would require taking them aaalll the way back and force them to tango with aaalll of them, leaving them alone was certainly going to cause more trouble than not, that dealing with their Solosis scouts/spies was a stop gap measure at best and a drain on resources unless they started killing them, and that since they know the general path up to this point they can quickly move through it at double speed. He also points out that since they have Repels going through the mountain would not be such an issue, and that by going all the way back and taking care of the Scims they could escort the police to them and prevent them from getting away + go back into town and re-stock on supplies like spent Pokeballs. He's fairly adamant about his choice, and wouldn't be swayed by their arguments.

-However, once it became apparent that the party favored the 'Ignore and Deal With the Scimitars as Needed' approach and continue onwards, his expression grows stony and thunderous, his eyes hardened, and he goes completely silent. He's extremely displeased with that plan of action, but due to group majority vote he goes along with it under duress. Because of it, though, he doesn't want to directly interact with anyone else in the group and avoid them at all cost, preferring to stay at a distance from everyone while he copes with his impotent rage and distaste with the situation. This lead to him shrugging off Shiva hand, standing up and telling everyone he'll begin packing up camp now that a course of action has been decided upon in a low, angry monotone, before doing as he indicated.

-He doesn't really care about Heart's plan to scout ahead, blowing it off entirely out of angry and the fact that deep down, past his rage, he believes that man is capable enough to just about anything he puts his mind to.

-Ven also make a hidden vow of killing everyone Scimitar Solosis he personally comes across, partially to prevent Nathan from wasting the group's resources and prevent a build up of hostile hostages they would all have to keep track of/take care of, partially out of spite fueled pragmatism towards both the Scimitars and the group.

-Ventus readies himself for the journey after everything is packed, with Malphena by his side with a somewhat worried and upset expression, as her master's behavior was far from what she come to expect and LIKE from him....

In short: Ven's wants to go all the way back and hunt those Scimitars down, but due to group conscesus he's forced to go along with their plan. He's very displeased by this, and as a result seperates himself from the main group and vows to eradicate any of the Scimitar forces should he come across them himself alone/first.

Ready to continue our journey!
