[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Lord Windos]

That would....actually work. The GTH Beedrill that Riza would get would be less Loyal/Happy overall, and it would cause her to abort her search for a Steel/Bug type or other suitable Pokémon for the trip into the NRF in order to get one, but it would work. Fluidity is interested in getting her hands on a GTH Beedrill safely that is skilled and somewhat behaved, which is still fulfilled by either Ayame or one caught by Riza. Its also not like she's wanting to Poke to buy Rinuk and Ranc Berries if she needs to, so even Disobedience isn't THAT much of an issue to them.

If you go with this option Dragonstrike, Riza would be able to deliver a GTH Beedrill to Reiner by the end of the 2nd Encounter of the Day, at which point he could promptly go and trade it with Fluidity if things are arranged properly at no Time Cost.

One problem, though: isn't Riza hunting for a Bug/Steel type right now?

She's hunting for one, but hasn't found one/will not find one until Encounter 2 is fully resolved, at which point I would roll to see what she ended up getting or not. If Reiner meets up with Arial and has them order for Riza to abandon that search and switch priorities towards getting a GTH Beedrill, she would do so at a drop of a hat and it would only take 1 Encounter for her since she knows where the hive is AND has very good relations with them all. 

Basically, the trade off for this option is whether or not you want Riza finding a Bug/Steel type or otherwise for the NRF, or getting a GTH Beedrill guaranteed and trading them for Frosslad later. Your choice in the end, mate!
