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

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

Well, I going to make the post of my actions, but not now. Need to go to the academy to make some exercises. Its been a while and I really need to go now.

...A bit of a delay for our campaign, that will be, if you don't outline plans for Iron in Meta Thread/letting Iron take control of your character. Looks like today's going be a slow one, eh mates?

I've got enough from Heart when Terra first made his intentions known. Spirit, feel free to flashback with more details.

Every trainer gets 8XP to divide among their Pokemon, and 6XP for themselves (includes heroism!)

Viktor gains 1 Happiness for the chance to see such an important Earthpower site.
Ambipom gains 1 Happiness for the chance to monkey around.
Grid gains 1 Happiness for what I described earlier, with the flashing cave.

Manectric gains 1 Loyalty.

…....Still no closer to liking Plot Deviced Combat Encounters, or believing them to be anything but a horrible, HORRIBLE time for anyone involved unless they also have Plot Devices backing them up. It's rather telling that the overall mood and options for that quest plummeted when Mural MEW made its debut, and that even running away carried unpleasant consequences for almost everyone (Will Point loss for Nathan/Shiva, Lapis and Meowth being left behind and who knows WHAT is going to happen to them, Terra and Heart being savaged.....).

If it weren't for the fact that it would have been extremely OOC for Terra to ditch everyone and simply make a break for it....well, I probably still have sacrificed them since they were so slow, but I'd be less dramatic about it.

Point is, unless you know a LEGEND is friendly or not going to be maiming you anytime soon, meeting any of them is not a wonderful or special thing except in the most negative way possible, and even with the friendly ones you have to be overly careful/respectful around them. Especially if they are sprung on you with no warning, and you can only react to it, and especially ESPECIALLY if their sudden appearance suddenly punishes you for earlier Fun/RP choices, like what happened with Tommy the Meowth and Lapis being left behind. Thus far, whenever a LEGEND appears, it ends up either making things worse, or introduces a BUNCH of complications/dubiousness (Celebi and Landerous springs to mind, as even benevolent they were still somewhat troubling to deal with), which as far as gamming is concerned is a severely negative reinforcement. Not good.

Terra's not going to say anything until he's healed up some, as his attention/focus is keeping himself from passing out. He'll also more or less immediately want to begin trecking back to Ancestor Cave in order to retrieve Lapis/Tommy, since he WON'T leave his trusted partner behind. Which, due to MEW.....is going to be a nightmare and a half to deal with.

Sorry the delay people! Have now returned from the academy. Flashback coming right away! Also, Heart will help Terra to retrieve his pokemons too.
