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

[Lord Windos]

I honestly don't think running is a solution to the problem at this point.  Tunneling around is sketchy at best, and there's 0 guarantees we won't just run into these Reuniclus again because they'll still be ahead of us on the road to Atheneum.

We don't have to use EQ in Round 1, but nothing says we can't use it in Rounds 2+ after Solosis is taken care of and we're better prepared to try and stomach it ourselves.  (EQ is not a move built for usage in the midst of a large group, tbh)

OOC, I agree that keeping Solosis KOed would be easiest.  IC, however, I very strongly disagree.  Solosis still has daily needs that need to be fulfilled just like any other pokemon, and filling them becomes much more difficult if it's unconscious.  Plus, keeping it koed 24/7 for an extended period of time is cruel.

True on both fronts, but if we run into them again into a place where their isn't a lot of cover for them to play wack a mole with us, then taking them out then become a whole lot easier. Its always an option if it turns out the Reunicli are designed to be total bastards to fight right here or in general, so don't totally discount it!

Fair enough, but that means we can't really knock out pillars until after Round 2, and have to do our damnest not to get whittle into oblivion by those blobs. Yeah, I wish EQ was specific in that it only targeted Pokémon unless otherwise indicated, but thems the breaks we have to work aroud.

IC, Ven don't give a damn about Solosis' wellbeing at ALL and would prefer it unconscious 24/7 (if only for the convenyance) since they can't ball it and killing it would enrage Nathan beyond cooperation, and he also has experience taking care of Pokémon in that state due to his occupation as a Disobedient Pokémon Researcher, so that ain't a problem. Additionaly, Shiva is outright apathetic to its existence, Valder has no opinion, and from what I can tell Heart doesn't really care about it either and looks upon them with suspicion, so only Nathan would be willing to advocate it be kept awake. With that being the case, I could have Ven rally the other group members to argue and contrive a reason IC for Nathan to keep Solosis Fainted forever, or re-assign their care to someone willing to KO them 24/7, if that would be fine with you Dragonstrike.

One thing I really dislike is when IC stuff prevents other, more easy options being taken, or causes problems that can't really be solved, so this method of using IC to eliminate IC sounds like a sound idea to me.
