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

[Lord Windos]

.........You know, when I first sued for peace with the Scims, I just did it because it was something that Terra would do, since he wouldn't want to waste time, resources, and put his group in unnecessary harm's way by fighting the archmages before diving into the Ruins. I honestly didn't expect that it would actually work, though, no for anyone else to go along with it. And given that my chara is the beef cake character with hardly anything in the way of diplomacy (beyond certain esoteric forms of it), it makes the outcome especially ironic. I don't say this often, but......thank you everyone, for going with my idea. Makes me feel real good and special.

Also, I think Terra still has all the Guantlets/Scimitar Tech he looted from the Scims of yesteryear, or at least some of it, so if Shiva wants to actually learn how to be a wizard, then he can hook her up and the Scims can teach her, if they are amenable to such an arrangement. Not sure if that's the best idea, though, for multiple reasons....

I have a functioning set of a gauntlet lurking in my Inventory myself, dear. ^_^ Took it from a defeated Water Scim back when we met Juni and her people. That thing needs to be surgically 'attached' and it appearantly takes years to learn how to use it even if your mentor's a competent one, so I'd rather not...go in that direction... A Scimitar isn't really the kind of magical girl Shiva would aim to be, and I'd bet Ven wouldn't wish for her to be a Scim either.


Everyone seems to have a Scim partner now, yayyyy!~ I'm somewhat happy that Kelda's there too despite I changed my mind and chose edgy Arachna, curious to see those elemental blades in action.

@Iron, if I may ask, did you actually expect for the negotiations to work when you threw Cosh and Co. at us here, or were you already preparing for a spectacular battle?

I'm always ready for battle!! Negotiating was an option, but I didn't have anything particular in mind that would work. I like the compromise of allowing in one Scim for each player character, and the PC's getting to pick! That was cool, led to some interesting stuff. And changes upcoming events in interesting ways.

Everyone take 20XP, and 10XP for a Pokemon of your choice.

I can't wait to see how the Friction Filled Fellowship changes things too, mate! Hopefully not for the worse, as that'll just make my accomplishment this day most bittersweet!

Seeing as Terra pulled off a major diplomatic victory for both sides and has keep in mind Nathan's/Howl's warnings about being feeble minded, he now endevours to expand his mindand growing even wiser for the challenges ahead, both within and without, increasing his Insight for 20 XP in the process! Now he's mildly sociable now, when his Intimidation factor isn't getting in the way!
