[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

You meditate on the Earthpower and on everything Nathan has ever said about Marco, and on the man you can still somewhat envision within him. 

This will function as a Lucky Chant next time you attempt to heal Marco, which has to wait until the end of Day 81 still. 


With that, it is now Day 81 (the beginning).

Who needed Heal Pulses last night? I can roll those out as a flashback. Also tell me any preparation you make for today's journey - Cosh says you're heading down into a cavern full of freakishly strong Pokemon.

Assuming that Terra and Nathan managed to resolve their conversation in a non-disastrous manner, these are the following preparations he would undertake, after he gets up and fixes breakfast for everyone:

- Terra will suggest that everyone that has some form of Repel should use it once they enter the Living Caverns, so as to ward off at least some of the nasty Pokemon living there. He also still has those three Poke Dolls he trade for earlier, and he's willing to give out two of them to those that think they'll need them.
- He'll also ask if Spira could keep Toya out with him/the group to act as further deterrent against Pokemon attacks with their Pressure, as well as using their own Ghostly Powers to look out and counter the Ruins ruinous Ghosts from ruining us to the point of ruin. If anyone has Pokemon and/or Items with Abilities that seem like they'd dissuade Pokemon from coming near the group, I'd consider having them out with the party. If anyone has a Pokemon with Roar/Whirlwind (Or can teach their Pokemon it), that be a great way to send most Pokemon packing, just in case!
- Additionally, he'll inquire with Nathan if their Ditto could Transform into any Pokemon that might be able to scare off Wild Pokemon, or if they're able to freely Transform in the first place.
- If it's possible, could Terra make some sort of Berry Coffee/Drink out of some of his Chestos and Salac Berries that would grant everyone increased Movement Speed through the Cavern? If so, how many of each would it take to make the brew? The less time spent in there, the better, and if baddies can't keep up with them then they are not a problem! 
- My chara's own choice for the two Pokemon he'll keep out with him are Angie and Pixie, the former because she can fly him/another person + there small Pokemon above the ground + big bulky Dragons are inherently a unappealing target to most, and the later because between Growl, Intimidate, and Terra's own Intimidation (+ possibly Pressure support from Toya), any monster will have a tough time mustering the Will to menace the group. Their Held Items are Life Orb (Angie) and Leftovers (Pixie). As for the rest of Terra's Pokemon, Arete and Oinari will get Sitrus Berries to Hold, Sari will hold the Lucky Egg, and Michael is permanently glued to his Toxic Orb (He's let out to get perma-Poisoned for the day by it too).
- Lucky Chants and Future Sights from the Loyal Pokemon that have those Moves could possibly grant additional blessings/info on the trek ahead. Just FYI, mates!
- Sari would get a private meeting with Terra, it being mainly concerned with stressing how dangerous the Caverns up ahead were, and that if she would not listen to him or have faith in his Orders that she at least not hinder the rest of her partners through action or inaction. 'That would be rather unbecoming of a good queen of your stature, to not to look after the well-being of her subjects. That, and protecting your subjects means they can protect you too,' he'd more or less state to her as rationale for her to all altruistically.
- Oinari gets instructions to use her Illusive powers to disguise herself as the Genesect they fought if he summons her in the cave, as the sight of an pissed off, ruthless killer of a Legend is a pretty good bluff to pull off against most baddies! Especially if he sends out Arete with her! Facing off against Parent Genesect and her child? No thanks!

That should be everything, at least from what I can conceive by myself! Whew, what a mouthful! Better to have a lot to say and have it do a little good, then not and not, though! Ready to venture into the Living Caverns when everyone else is!

Oh, and none of Terra's Pokemon need Heal Pulses (They full healed over night), so Solomon's HPs are free for everyone!
