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

[Lord Windos]

Dragonstrike, since Ven's coming to meet you, I'll have you handle the initial introductions/reactions, alright?

Already addressed that.  Nathan's rather on edge right now due to the circumstances.  Up to Ventus to defuse things.

Done! Maybe a little curt and a tad bit disrespectful, but at least Ventus is being polite about this! Now comes the part where he asks/begs for more Honey....

Also, how much Base HP does Quetzoral have, Iron? Kinda left that out there....

I actually PMed Iron about the system the writers seem to be using, since I noticed a trend in how they determined the base HP for pokemon 5' and bigger.  If we were to stick with that...Coatlith would have a LOT of HP...

Remember how serpentine pokemon have a huge amount of HP compared to everything else?  That seems to apply to both Quetzoral and Coatlith in the writers' system...

Well, I guess it's somewhat reasonable for Heart to know about Quetzoral since he's actually been to Tandor...and is a collector...

I personally suspect she has around 6-7 Base HP as Quetzoral, and will have either Apsis or Dragonair's Base HP when they reach their final evolution, since I doubt he would give me a Pokémon with Miltonic's Base HP without + 6 Disobedience on them, or something....

On the subject of the lovely little dragon, they can learn Grass Whistle for 13 XP, and can learn Nasty Plot for either 45 XP or have Shiva tutor it a few times or so. It can also pick up Synthesis and Tailwind via tutoring in the group as well, so its quite set in regards of healing and DEX buffing! The fact that it also has Razor Leaf and Bullet Seed for Crit Shenanigans and Burst Damage is just nice as well, eh? That Ice and Fire weakness is a bit of a pain in the arse, though, but hopefully it won't pose too much of a problem with planning and such.

Good guess on Quetzoral.  In the writers' system, Quetzoral would have 7 Base HP.  And Coatlith...would have about as much as Onix in that system.

Starting at 5', Base HP seems to linearly correlate with the pokemon's height/length feet in the writers' system for most pokemon.

What. What. That's....that's ridiculous, mate! No way in hell will Iron give it that much HP, as it would be a Game breaking in of itself by the time it reached that point!

8.2 meters according to the wiki.  That's just short of 27 feet.  Onix is 8 m (28 feet.  Unit conversion seems to be slightly off in this case) according to the games' dex entries.

And Onix has 28 HP, so...

Going by this system, Sheldon's Daikatuna also should have had 6 base HP, not 5, since that's how much HP pokemon of that height typically have in the book.

Umm...I was just expecting him to be irritated about being splashed by Apsis, not suffer a near meltdown because it was the last straw in a line of bad events. I can remove that part of my post if you want, as I don't want Ven/Apsis to push them THAT far in their shunning of him.

Also, the main reason Apsis has been out more lately is because any XP she gains can go into moves or Surprises!, while Raphael XP is sorta useless for him unless he collects enough for a Surprise. I also had other Pokémon to train as well, so I guess they've been shunted to the backside on the list of my priorities, unfortunately. I'll have to remedy that problem now that you brought it up....

Nathan was already pretty dang irritated, so that's why he reacted that way.  Plus, I don't want to try and fix Ventus's problems when I've already done everything I can to minimize the damage, but I don't want to play with them for an extended period of time either.  Nathan's on a veeerrrry thin wire right now, and he's only barely holding it together because Ventus isn't being openly irritated.

So yeah, I would very much appreciate it if this wasn't escalated because I see no reason to do so.

Having no choice but to try and save an entire region while also struggling with the personal problems of both you and your best friend wears ya out, ya know?

Alrightly, I edited out that one line of text, and just had Apsis slither away without rebuttal. Hopefully that will prevent a SNAFU or a FUBAR situation from occurring now!
