[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

....How possible it it for Bernhard to JUST GET DAFAQUE AWAY AS FAST AS POSSIBLE and TOWARDS VERNON? I...rather NOT have him dabble with what's been caused. REALLY. And I certainly don't want to loose him as a Player character. I'm...so sorry everyone.

 
Pretty much ASAP - the....THING isn't focused on stopping anyone but those IT C A U G H T , so your PC can just boook it with or without using Magic-Enhanced SPEED!

I've got a plan that should help with separating those tentacles from everyone in the short term, but Akamu and Darren might need help with getting out of the pit before they get grabbed again.  Bernhard's speed would be extremely appreciated.

I like the mechanic that someone who is out of encounter slots still gets to participate in the shock of the scene - they are just essentially Diceless. Vern gets to show how powerful the enemy is xD

Thank you! I wanted to involve Vern, but since you had no Dice/Slots Left I just didn't want to have your PC stand around or , worse, become a liability if/when things get worse. So a One Way Trip to the Beach it was!

Counterquestion: How risky or possible is it to grab Darren or Akamu, free them with Cyan Surge, THEN run away? That...surely would Anger this THING, would it?

I'm...just asking. Actually I AM SET ON RUNNING AWAY.

I am... so so incredibly sorry....

But being serious now. I wish Oz is there to participate in this big boss battle. Why the big boss battle always happen when I not available ):

I'm not the one that decided to aggro a Malefic Monstrum , so I too am shaking my head at how things are going to go down...

...Well, if they don't choose to RUN, that is. Nobody said you had to FIGHT the dang thing, though you still want to free Akamu and Darren before.....welp.

Sweet lord in heaven...Is there any way of Glinda Teleport everyone except Flutter Mane away from this situation? Even they escape, is there any possibility of Flutter Mane come back to hunter Darren for revenge?

Very, and indeed it would just make it A N G R I E R  regardless of Success of Fail! Might even get snagged yourself if you do particularly bad or it gets Good/Lucky!


@Spiritmon :Not everyone this time: She can Port 2 People and their Mons this time. FM is contained for the time being.

(...)  Bernhard's speed would be extremely appreciated.

........*shakes head* Very sorry.... So so sorry, but no. Please handle things without him. I personally don't want to have anything to do with the scene (I love how everything developed, very cool though!), he in-chara knows enough about Flutter Mane to know you don't dabble with them. Like, at all.

Oh a different note: This cool scene has so much Cthulhu-vibes. Like, the tabletop-RPG Cthulhu. I like that a Lot! Arcane Horror let's goooooooo

Unfortunately, someone already did dabble with them.

*sigh*

Seddi may be able to do this by himself, but it's going to make it harder by making it take longer.

Gonna spitball some ideas here before posting in the game thread.

- I'm assuming we need to get Darren and Akamu out of the tentacles before they can be Teleported.

- Kusanagi should actually be able to reliably hit the tentacles despite being blind (CUT ignores the accuracy penalty, and don't have to worry about making the damage accidentally Lethal if Lethal Force is the intention).

- Fortuna can set up Tailwind to augment the speed and evasion of anyone going in to snatch the captives.  Flight capability allows her to possibly grab people and pull them out of the pit.

- The faster we get everyone out of the pit, the faster we can get away from the beach and FM's territory.  Seddi can try and do it alone, but it's gonna leave FM time to do shenanigans since the pokemon he has can likely only do one rescue at a time, and Kusanagi can really only 'safely' use CUT.  Her other cutting attacks have a risk of missing or even hitting one of the captives.

- Given Akamu's affinity for Water, Kusanagi could also try Soaking the tentacles to see if that gives the Alolan some kind of advantage for escaping on his own, but that could have both benefits and consequences.

I'm going to hold off on posting for a bit in case there's feedback on these ideas, and also so I can maybe mold Seddi's orders and reactions around what's going on with everyone else.

Alll ideas are viable , though for the first point CUT WILL include Akamu and Darren on a 3D6 Dhcnace since they are so ensnared by them. They can take the Lethal Damage, though....maybe.
