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

[Lord Windos]

As Iron said, Spira would have ONE more chance to evolve Hida via the method listed in the book.  I'm not surprised.

If everything goes well, Grid might be able to end this before Juni even gets to act.  A 4 Strength, Itching Powder and STAB boosted, 5 hit Fury Cutter will absolutely wreck a 3 Vitality target.  (potentially capping at 20 D6 + 5 damage without critting)  But first, Nathan wants to make absolutely sure that Juni KNOWS she's been caught.  That might even get Juni to just outright surrender without a fight.

In retrospect I should have expected it, but I still stand by my statement that I'm getting tired of the group being yanked through time. Not much we can meaningfully do in the past, beyond taking whatever we collected with us, as Anti Time Paradox Rules prevent us from making any sweeping changes. That, and having no control over the Lurches unlike Nathan makes me feel wanting, especially when it confers benefits he gets that no one else does (Even though logically he's the only one that could get them in the first place, but that's partially me point right there).

Spira's going to have to leave Hilda resting on the mountain somewhere, and then re-capture them in the present, right? Wonder how's that going to work out.....

Given that she has the power to drain the powers of Pokemon AND Humans, she's liable to put up quite a fight once she figures out that not only is she trapped, but stuck in the past too. 'The cornered rat bites the cat,' and so on. Grid can and will most likely take care of her in short order, but if not, then Angie + Tommy will be more than happy to settle the score against the witch....

Of course, when the group inevitably LURCHES! again, we could just leave here stranded in the past to more or less permanently take care of her after she's been pumped of intel, without resorting to squirty murder or Cheshire's legal system.

A rainforest area!~ I wish to explore every inch of it for the opportunity to gather rare plants, encounter Pokemon that could only be found in such an environment, and have my Tropius visit his natural habitat. How fitting that only shortly Shiva's Nature Speciality maxed out.

I can't stay up the whole night to play, but please give me opportunity to hand Arcanine personally to Detective Thrawn, alright?

After Juni's taken care of, Terra's liable to join Shiva in here exploration, as he has a keen appreciate of Nature too (though nowhere near as robust as Shiva's now) , due to learning all about it from Surviving in the wilds/doing some rare reading up on the subject, and he'd want to make sure she's taken care of in case something nasty pops out of the jungle works.

Regarding Arcanine, go right ahead and return them to Thrawn! Speaking of which, we'll have to deal with one confused Detective too, though an implied/not written out infodump could suffice in catching them up and bringing him in the fold.
