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

[Dragonstrike]

[spoiler]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.


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.

Not sure if he needs to release Hida, tbh.

Use Fake Out on her.  If she Flinches, it's Game Over for her almost guaranteed.  Even though draining the powers of others around her seemed to buff her in some way, it didn't seem to have any visible effect on her stats from what I could tell.

We could, but with Thrawn there, we have a lawman present to help handle the aftermath of the situation.

Nathan can talk with Thrawn about the time travel thing, no problem.  And also about what to do with Juni.  And he needs to talk with someone else, too...
