[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

In terms of handling Weather, Water Scimitar are typically the ones that fair best in Rain and similarly Stormy Weather (Like Hail), while the Earth Scimitars deal with the Sun and Sand handily. Air Scimitars, by contrast, could be considered middling in capability in most usual Extreme Weather Condition, but either are rapidly able to adapt to most change to bend it to their advantage or chose to 'go with the flow' rather than dominate or endure like the other factions of Scimitars. Air Scimitar also typically specialize in other Field Conditions or Tactics when performing magic or in their work, such as the use of Terrains or (commonly) Ariel Superiority, Wind Control, or more rarely stuff like Air Pressure and Force of Convection to mimic Barriers, Gravity, and Temperature Control. 'Freedom' was a core tenant of the Air Scimitars; like the winds, they are unbound and change at their whim.[/align]

For Bern, if he enjoys Hurricane Weather he could have conceivably developed a Spell to help shield him from Rain, but the sort of raging tempest going outside his room is well beyond his ability to ward off completely. He'd also have to take care if he uses Myra's Power - though he's spared the Type Interactions that much Water is bound to make his attempts at using Fire Magicks that more difficult or finicky. Conversely, using Zephy's own Ice and Electric power would be a literal howling breeze - the Weather outside was perfectly conducive to shock a person senseless or freeze them to the bone.  

In any case, he still needs to have a way to either handle the storm weather, or decide to simply take it on the chin. (If you have any Ideas, bring'em up!) (...)

Yes, indeed! My Idea to walk around relatively safely during that mild Hurricane is to combine several 'smaller' aspects/skills of Bernhard into one big thing for max. effect; in particular these:

- Naturally the air affinity of his, seeing the hurricane not as a hinderance but as something to make use of to his own advantage (Ariel Superiority and Wind Control)
- The Spell you mentioned to shield him from most of the rainfall (good thinking there, many thanks my dear! Probably not the first time Bern was suprised by bad weather during his travels but had no other choice than to take it?)
- Walk around WITH the storm, not against it (but cautiously enough to not be blown facefirst into things)
- Make use of the slipstream whenever possible
- Make use of Graduation Air cast via Innate Casting on ourselves if things are getting dire, to change trajectory of us mid-air to avoid taking damage
- Zephy's Flight Skill, but not for actual flying but for parkour
- Accelating our speed via Quick Attack cast via Evocation from Myra (or Nirix, who is exhausted and at -1 pain however)
- Possibly Safeguard from Myra via Evocation to protect us from anything the storm my throw onto us/suffering Ailments through the hurricane or rain
- Whatever remains, take it either through sheer will or out of spite

...That's quite a lot, but Bernhard won't make use of everything at once/use only what's needed to walk around in relative safety to not stress himself and his Gauntlet too much. Would that work if he does happen to step outside?

For Encounter No.1 however we're NOT leaving the room at the Magi Embassy however - unless something comes up that forces Bernhard to do so. Nope, what he'll do is stay there and summon both Myra and Zephy to his side. How are these two doing this morning? (Myra in particular after she had some pleasant times of admiration and appreciation at the foxy Cafe; Zephy after she spent time with the Gleams/playing with Saph while her Master was at the Cafe with Oz.) "A pleasant and good morning to you two. *pauses to just observe them* You two doing well on this stormy day and after having aided me on that...test yesterday night? *sighs* I'm good, just...exhausted since that was TRUELY something."

To Zephy in particular: "So..... You enjoyed your downtime with the Gleams? How far are you with your splendid artwork to present the fateful process of having cured dear Saph?" (since that was requested for her to create/work on to get hung up in his private quarters, just because I think that whole thing was more than meaninful enough for Bernhard to do that)

To Myra in particular: Bernhard takes a bit to simply brush though her magnificent and silky golden fur. "Do tell me dear one, you feeling healthy? No ailments or pain bothering you? Since there is something...I'd like to request of you please, if you're fine with it. Something I've wished to do for a day or to already, but simply haven't found the time yet."


On a sidenote also, how possible is it to go for a process of alchemistic creation inside the room of the Magi Embassy AND under the -1 Exhaustion? In particular processing the Houndoom parts given by Darren/@Mikaruge108, to which we'll - as requested - invite him to watch and possibly aid for Encounter No.2 IF crafting things is not completely doomed to fail under the current state.
