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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

One problem with that suggestion: just like Angelica in the Celadon campaign, Solosis (and these Reuniclus) are blindly loyal to a fault.  If it's told to fight or stays true to its (artificial) loyalty now that there's an opportunity, it will fight no matter what Nathan tells it.  Nathan wants Solosis alive for two reasons: so he can work on finding a way to restore its emotions/will if at all possible (or sebd it to someone who can) and to have physical proof for Dagny/Tanuki that something bad is going on.  Can't do either if Solosis is dead.  Nathan could handle it dying but...that would kinda be a huge setback, and he'd be incredibly irritated about it.

The Scimitars aren't going to tell those Reuniclus to flee.  They don't care for them as anything but tools from what we know about the group.

I'm all for trying to handle them with EQ provided we can mitigate things enough, but it's definitely not a move we can just fire off willy nilly.  If that doesn't finish the job, then we're probably going to have to handle the blobs 1 by 1.  I am still slightly worried that our grounded mons are gonna get rekt by EQ, resisted hit or no.  -1 damage can only do so much against such a huge damage pool.  (btw, Tailwind doesn't buff damage pools. Nathan does have 10/11 base accuracy pools, though)


I do have a question for @Iron: could Nathan Grapple Solosis and also mount Tropius Ditto to avoid the first EQ?  Or Grapple Solosis while on Tropius Ditto?

Morton's Fork is in effect here for us all, it seems, in wonderfully multi-layered way: We either go with a non-optimal but less risky strategy to slowly try to whittle down the Reunicli while they do the same (but most likely better) and preserve Solosis' life almost garenteed, or we go with a more risky but more damaging strategy that will most likely quickly void those blob's life warrenty, but it will most likely savage us all and get Solosis maimed or worse. With Plan A, we also then have to decide whether or not its a good idea to knock out the pillars or not. With Plan B, we then have to decide which person mount which Pokémon, and therefore which ones get to eat Earthquake damage.

Honestly, I think Plan C (Run Away and Tunnel Around) is for the best in light of that. We can retreat, KO Solosis (Honestly, OOC and IC its better to ALWAYS keep the bugger KOed, simply because it prevents more trouble), then simply find a way around the Renis without having to either get into a battle of attrition or brutalizing our character/ground bound Pokémon. If they follow, they'll be at a disadvantage, not us, so why not tuck our tails between our legs and flee?



I thought you were listing the Accuracy Pool of Razor Leaf, so my mistake!
