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

[Lord Windos]

Please don't.  We've already discussed that trying to convince Nathan otherwise isn't going to go anywhere, and Ventus 'spreading the word' would cause more trouble than 'good'.

Mate, I'm trying to make babysteps here within Ven's current characterization, and its a legitimate offer for the Ditto, especially after I save up enough Poké to be equivilant to $15000 or more, roughly the same price that Druddigon would have fetched had Shiva/Phantom sold it. If Nathan rejects that offer even when Ven gives legitmate (if not entirely honest) reasons to take it off their hands, he'll proceed to Plan B if he's not convinced that Orthros is a good doggy by that point. Screwing around with the NPCs isn't against the rules (if kept legal), and likely won't go anywhere due to people in Cheshire simply being more tolerant about Pokémon than people in Unova are.

Point is, I don't want to cause problems, and want to fix things, but I'm not going to undermine my own character in the process, especially since those plans won't have a impact now/until after the campaign is done.

...People, what are you doing when I'm not around to calm things down.... Please STOP RIGHT THERE before that Mach Punch, I'll have some early dinner and then me and Shiva can try to resolve and rescue things. This is really not the point where a fight should break out.

Nathan's not starting anything.  If you don't want that Mach Punch to happen, Phantom, you need to get Spirit to retract that order, because that move is too fast for anyone to do anything about it once it starts.

Both of you are to blame to a degree in this case. I'll get to type things up now.

Technically, if Nathan had apologized and/or explain before hand that Ralts was going to use a full power Confusion and the reason why, then Heart's retialiation could have been avoided altogether. My sympathies, however, lie with neither of the characters in conflict, since both are acting remarkably uncooperative in this situation. 

Also, just so that you are aware Spiritmon , attacking a person with a Pokemon without their consent/EXTREMELY GOOD REASON is typically considered HIGHLY illegal, and will at minimum get you a fat stinking fine if the authorities caught wind of this. This means if Nathan was feeling vindictive, he could go to them and tell them all about this, and put Ventus /Shiva / Ralts as witnesses to the act, and completley screw over your character, which is.....not good. Or he could use it as blackmail, if he's THAT bitter about this turn of events/past grudges. My recommendation would just to retcon that part of your post, and let Shiva step in to mediate things before they get to that point. Either that, or Dragonstrike retcons his post and actually apologizes to prevent said retaliation. Or both.

Just..... fix this mess before Iron comes back and has to mediate things himself....

I was expecting the campaign to take about a year, but you're about halfway through the story content I had planned.

When it "ends" it'll probably turn into a diceless campaign.

Is that a semi-hidden permission to continue RPing a bit with our charas here after we finished the journey through your region? Lolz.... I haven't thougth about that yet, but that'd be really cool.

On a different note, important question that'll influence my Pokemon choice: Will Tropius and Cottonee indeed be hindered in their capabilities and health by the lack of sunlight down there in the mountain? According to you, Tropius produces fruit each day if he is in my party at least a bit, if we want to be nitpicking nowhere does it say that he needs to be outside of his Pokeball or need supplements to grow fruit, so he should be able to do so even during the trip into Mount Sentry. Growing fruit is within his nature.

Concerning Cottonee, one more thing depends, and this is how she'll personally take a a trip into a mountain when she's not used to such an environment, and whether being seperated from Shiva for I-dunno-how-long is wise at all for both sides. The odds point to switching her with Braixen from my list of Pokemon to simply have her with me and due to her coverage with Fairy Type + lifestealing skill, but I'm still undisclosed.

Can you guys wait on me to post before moving on? I don't want to get left behind while constructing one of my big posts reacting to all that has happened.

Very fine to me!~ I don't have anything to add anymore at this point, Shiva simply wants to head to bed and cuddle up to Ven for a good night's sleep.

[Dragonstrike]

I have a tad bit more to add assuming Gargryph decides to heal Heart with its Hidden Power.

[Spiritmon]

We can only wait for Iron show up and let Gargryph show his ability.
