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

[Lord Windos]

...Nathan is NOT going to be a happy camper about this.  The whole reason we're officially going to the Ruins in the first place is to investigate the Kadabra Chambers.  That point is almost non-negotiable.  He NEEDS to check that area out, both to look for his dad and to hopefully qualify for a Key Stone BEFORE Deoxys lands.

He doesn't want to work with the Scims, period, nor will 2 -3 of his pokemon.  He can't operate at peak efficiency in the company of the people who have killed, kidnapped, tortured, and destroyed all so they can have all the glory for themselves.

Nathan has more reason than anyone else to not cooperate with the Scims.

....I know all that, Dragonstrike, but what would you have us to do? Burn ourselves out by who knows how much before we step foot into the Skull Ruins, and NOT improve our odds of surviving everything? Or possibly get stomped by the Scims and be set back by who knows how much, if not entirely derailed, on top of said burn out and causing the Scims to set themselves in earnest upon the group? 

Hate them or not (And boy, do we all have a Cubone to pick with the magical bastards!), the Scims DO have several benefits they can offer the group and NOT fighting with them (for now, mind you) makes things a whole lot easier AND safer for us going forward. Nathan should be intelligent enough to realize the whole 'Enemy of my enemy is at least a temporary, begrudging ally' , and be mature enough by now to tolerate a raw deal, especially if it serves to benefit EVERYONE, including himself. If the Scimitars of all people is willing to parley despite being WAY more antagonistic, zealous, and just plain petty and unscrumpulous that likely hates/dislikes our group too by now, then certainly your character can do the same.

If push comes to shove, and we can't get into the Kadabra Chambers without causing a Fight, then I say the group should leave it until all is said and done with the current quest and just move on as HIGHLY suspicious and grudging allies with the Scims. If we have to answer to the League for that, we'll just say the Scims roped the group into doing their bidding and get the them to collaborate that story with us. 

Marco isn't the only character who's life is at stake here, if he's alive anymore in the first place. ALL of Cheshire is on the chopping block. Everyone knows this, and so they SHOULD willing to put aside differences to get shit done and stop everything from going straight to hell.
