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

[Lord Windos]

Bring up the rope idea to Nathan.  He got a 7 meter length of his own as well.

We are still going to be able to use the Metagross it seems, but yeah, tying people to the Metagross/each other sounds like a very good idea for a vertical climb that's being extended by having to move sideways as much as up.

Agreed! Having Raphael out and about to help catch people from falling off and gliding them to 'safe' ground is also an idea that can be used, but Ventus rather not resort to such measures unless it proves absolutely necessary. The archangel has a hard enough time carrying someone in a relaxed situation, so in a panic who knows what could go wrong?

Oh. Then just to scout ahead to alert us of any threat above/ahead?

Ventus immediately spots that it has big anime eyes instead of Rapidash's wiser and smaller eyes.

That sounds both adorable and somewhat creepy.

And it's also a lot more unique than the copy having Ditto's face instead of the normal one

Its also a giant red flag that 'Swiftfire' isn't who she appears to be, though at the same time it ironically hides the fact that its a Ditto due to Ventus being familiar with 'The Ditto Face' tell rather than....that.

@Nylon : Might be good to leave some instruction to Iron for what Pokémon you want to send out if we have to fight that cave guardian, alright mate?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

'Cave Guardian'... That smells like another Boss Fight, yay! Curious what species of Pokemon it'll be. Probably something rocky... *prepares GigaDrains on mass*

[Dragonstrike]

A Boss Fight which Nathan is a tad bit underprepared for if it occurs since he structured his party for caring for the Castform egg rather than optimizing his battle strategies...

Though Ditto would be VERY strong if it transformed into either the boss mon or one of the Metagross, so he's not completely unprepared...

Guess we'll take care of that then, mostly. He and Kirlia should also stay as fine as possible, as they need to progress into that cave...

Or we battle, you progress to save valuable time?

Well, no matter what, Nathan doesn't like it, but he HAS to rely on everyone else right now...if he'd been a little better prepared, he might have tried to go up ahead of time, tbh.

If he can just get past the guardian while it's distracted, that's a chance he might take...but if it's definitely keeping him from getting through, expect him to be at the front lines even if he's not got his strongest stuff.

I'm traveling today, so I will probably be in only rarely to GM this fight. You should see more of me tomorrow.

Thread will be locked on the 23rd or 24, not sure yet. Unlocked possibly the 26th. Depends on how traveling for Christmas goes, and I'm sure you all have your own things going then.
