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

.....Anyway, what shall we do, mates? Proceed with Bluff Da BBB, try Perish Song/Mental Sleep HAX, some combination thereof, or just punch the dang thing hard enough that it finally flees from our sheer insane dedication to slugging it out with it?

(...) Perish Song it's pretty risk, but it is our best gamble to Finish off all foes. I not gonna sacrifice Terra or anyone else.
What's is the answer everyone? I go with Perish Song strategy and Illusion thing.

Basically, I'm up for anything that will earn us Cofagrigus' approval and the first ancient Artifact, I just hardly see any other way than fighting that Genesect.

I'm strictly against using Perish Song unless heavily needed, for the simply reason that it will KO a massive amount of our own Pokemon, including all of Marco's Pokemon. No, just.... no. Please don't.

One thing I am wondering about though, what is the use/idea behind the Imposter-Illusionary-Idea, @Lord Windos? I don't quite get that, apart from how it shall be pulled off. I'm very fine with that part, indeed, but how will such an action progress things - or to word it differently, what shall happen once it succeeds? (Sneak past the Genesect, grab the Artifact and make haste the further way? That sounds like betrayal towards Cofagrigus, and if Genesect ends up pursuing us it will come to a fight anyway).

We don't even know Perish Song would work like we want in the first place, so I don't mind seeing it shelved for the time being. However, it's also best to be used as early as possible, as they more Pokemon the group has out and ready to field, the more bodies we have to stall out the PS Turns. Dragonstrike, Spirit, Mika, what do you think?

Essentialy, I DO want to resolve DMG without Fighting them with Operation Bluff Da BBB, or ideally screw with it SO much that it becomes easier to take down. Unlike you/Shiva, Terra made NO agreement with Cofagrigus and has always put the saftey of the group first and foremost, so if he can find a way to bypass DMG without much fighting, by golly gee he'll take it!

IC: Spira just wants to fight the bug, he doesn't really care how it gets defeated, as long as it was a fair fight. (as close to a fair fight you can have with a potentially PD'd pokemon that is.)
OOC: Perish Song sounds like a rather risky endeavor to me, and in this scenario, I would not consider it.
