[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

...Huh. No item usage means no auto-revival from the Reviver Seeds Kee has stocked up upon and no turning the fight in our favour, which makes me even LESS eager to fight BigSnek. Which means that I would still much rather avoid the battle and move onwards to Landorus - yes the fight against the gigantamax'd Sandi would be extremely high rewarding (if we win, that is), but it soulds like too much of a challenge. It's meant to be challenging, that's true, but I still

1. do no feel that we all, even with various strong NPC-help, are strong or experienced enough yet to face it with a managable risk

2. kinda have the feeling that there is a good reason for splitting up here, and that reason being story-related. Something along the lines of 'GM has something planned ahead that will only work if the partly splits here', and it's being told indirectly via this optimal hard encounter of BigSnek. Or I could be reading too much into things.

3. frankly I do not wish to needing to save up 50 or more XP to remove Primal Points from Kee, and much less do I wish to risk loosing him as a player chara due to him going fully Pokemon. Granted, Kee in-chara would not mind as being a full-blown Pokemon means that he's being freed from the trauma memories of his human mind and his extreme seperation anxiety and can start anew completely, but THAT would also mean that the memory of the Quest given by Arceus is, uh, completely forgotten about. Which may or may not mean the Pokemon World is doomed.

4. I'dkinda like to progress the story and move onwards than taking optimal encounters. Because I'd guess rolling out+typing out the battle will take Dragonstrike quite a while (not meant ill-natured, but you have a job and other hobbies+responsibilities too after all), possibly even more than I'd guess Landorus' battle will take

Feel free to try convince me if you wish /genuine, and I'll try to have Kee go by that - like, if you all are still up to fight BigSnek, he'll join. If not, he'll be fine with that too - because becoming a great Adventurer of the Guild does also mean backing off when you're not ready for the challenge, something along that lines.
