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

[Lord Windos]

A thought just occurred to me: Are some of the mushrooms on Terra's tanky Torterra (Say that three times fast!) edible, valuable , and/or medicinally useful? My chara would have a good chance of figuring that out in any case, given that living and surviving in the wilderness lead to him cultuvating quite a lot about all natural edibles and useful items found in it (Doesn't hurt his Nature is 3 too).

Terra definitely has the relevant skills to know. I'll say they are edible, tasty, and regrow quickly enough that you can eat them whenever. But you have to carefully remove the poison gills first. 

You could also craft a Toxic Orb, perhaps.

Which means he and the group has a source of constantly regenerating food if brought on long trecks, albeit one that is potentially nausiating if not prepared correctly. Crafting a Toxic Orb could be useful for Shiranui or if somebody else gets a Poison Heal Pokemon, so that's not a bad side bonus benefit!

Of course, I'll have to tame the tortoise first before it could be properly used, and taking it along means I have to leave another 'mon behind.....hmm.

@Lord Windos, I wished to challenge Angel as my third Encounter for the Day, this battle will take place during nighttime. Please please leave her for me, alright, I soft-need her badge if I aim for Shiva becoming even more of an Insight-blaster! >o< That, and I've got reasons to meet with her for the promised crafting, showing her the hatchlings and introducing a pink Pachirisu to her.


Concerning Torterra, nope, you can keep it, I'm fine that you've caught it. It was important to me that they ARE caught in the first place so that they can't cause ruckus within the mine again.

Shiva can also help you to see if these cave fungus on their shell are useful in a way, as she's very in tune with nature - just in a different way than Terra is, me feels he's more the 'Survive in the harsh nature'-guy and she's the 'Enjoy mother nature's beauty and benelovence'-one. ^^

You can actually do async encounters, like so:

1. Angela fights Terra. It's Angela's second Encounter and Terra's third.
2. Angela fights Shiva. It's Angela's third Encounter and Shiva's third.

That sounds alright by me, so long as its not too much trouble for you to pull off!

Oh, and thank you Phantom. Yeah, I sorta agree with your perspective of our chara's interp of Nature, though I do have to remind you that he appreciates it in his own way too beyond a Survivalistic outlook. He wouldn't have been able to deduce what Shiva's last name referred to if he didn't have at least a well established interest in plants otherwise, nor have been able to teach his Pokemon about them. Its a trait like his merchant and contest preformer background: something that doesn't come up quite often, but is still quite relevant to his chara.

Now I feel like I need to face Howl before we'll venture into the Skull Ruins, as the chance that we'll return to Elanor is... not that high, I guess? I'll think about it.

We can always just Teleport back at a later point if there's other things we want to do there.

I will say that Nathan will want to leave for the Ruins ASAP (with proper preparation, of course) once we get that permit, though.

Terra will be of the same opinion, as he wants to do everything to curtial the Millenium Disaster into oblivion quickly, which means delving into the Skull Ruins and rumaging around for the Treasured Arms/Weapons of Legend Slaying. Got to figure out what would be the best party for that, which will depend on what everyone else will end up bringing....

Ah, and before I forget, awesome luck with the Pokemon, @Spiritmon ! Whatever you end up Evolving that Eevee into, I know it'll be a star !
