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

[Lord Windos]

<p>

Before we discuss who gets the Sword, someone has to pull it out of that stone. Ya know, Sword in the Stone and all that. Only a mighty king can pull it free from where it has been entombed, according to the Dragon Prophecy (as stated by Lurantis).

OOC: of everyone in the group, I'm thinking Nathan is the most likely to be able to pull it out of that rock. He is the only one who has 6 gym badges at the moment, and thus has the right to challenge the Elite 4. He is also of noble descent, which probably doesn't hurt either.

There's also the matter of that funny feeling that Nathan had back in Atheneum, when he was looking at the bust that came after Sarimanok's...

Or destroy the stone with a well placed ROCK SMASH and grab the Sword from the rubble, as even if it's Plot Deviced HM Move would deal SE Damage to it (Stone is Rock), and therefore bypass protections entirely unless Iron just outright nulls any way to get it outside of 'You must pull it out.'

Another interpretation of Mighty King could be a more literal one: Terra is both mighty, and as a descendant of a line of merchants he could in some way be considered of noble/kingly blood. Same thing applies for Heart, given his whole family history.

Well, that feeling doesn't necessarily mean he'll become the king, though the possibility is very likely present.

I don't know.....it's time like this I wish the Artifacts were a bit less possesive of their wielder, as it WOULD be nice if we could have swapped around our Plot Devices between us and save us all the bickering over who gets what and all that. Oh well, tis the nature of them, I suppose.
