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

Humm, then it'd be most optimal if Ven would dig as you're carying the digging tools, if allowed with Azumarill's help, while me and Heart distract or deal with these Durant. What are your respective thoughts about this idea?

Okie dokie! I will join with you to take care these blasted Durants.

K, since it seems like the Yellow sandstone tunnel will lead us further to our missing Pokemon - @Spiritmon, would you be fine to team up with Shiva to fight off these wild Durant, so that @Lord Windos can dig with Turiel? I don't feel confident enough to defeat two Steel/Bug Types alone with my current team. :C

OR: 'Only room for one digger, but could Azumarill still lend a Helping Hand to the digger, Iron?

I suppose Helping Hand is a ranged move, so that'd be OK.

Nathan sees the Pink Pearl is missing.

Guys, right now my internet is playing fast and loose with the servers that host these forums, so my posts to will be just as spotty for an indeterminable amount of time, but I would like to point out that Ventus indeed will Dig out whichever Tunnel Shiva and Heart decide to focus on, preferably the yellow one since that is the most likely path where our Pokémon vamoosed down. He'll have Michael and Lucifer out with them while he excavates + Azumarill's help with a combo of Pick Axing, Rock Smashing, Tail Winds, and Helping Hands, and those Durant he'll leave in your two charas capable hands, and keep whatever Items he finds (if any) in reserve to be shared with them if they want! That's all I have to say for now mates, so yeah, let's get to a digging!

Oh, and on another matter, Ven is still disappointed but pleased that Lucifer got his lecture loud and clear, and is keeping a close eye on them for the rest of the day! That too!

Nathan sees the Pink Pearl is missing.

In which case...

@Lord Windos, could I get Lucifer's help (via Tailwind) in retrieving that item, please?

*Shrugs* Sure, go for it mate. I'll just have Aspis assist in the Digging along with Michael instead of Lucifer, with her using Acid Spray/burrowing to loosen up the rocks and making it easier to excavate the path.

Thank you.  Hopefully I can get 2+ successes with 7 dice...

Sounds like a plan! There's not enough room for Apsis to help much, but everything else works. Or she and Michael could take it in shifts.

Actually, on the note of Slowpoke Tails...three of Gen 7's pokedex entries for Slowpoke have something interesting to say:

S: Its long tail often breaks off. It doesn't really feel any pain, though, and the tail grows back, so Slowpoke isn't particularly bothered.

M: Alolan home cooking involves drying Slowpoke tails and then simmering them into a salty stew. 

UM: Although their tails, which fall off naturally, can easily be found lying around, they're a precious ingredient for cooking.

Seems it's actually normal for Slowpoke tails to fall off occasionally.  It's probably moreso the act of intentionally cutting off a Slowpoke's tail constantly that is viewed negatively as a whole.  (I imagine Alola's supermarkets get their Slowpoke Tails from specialized Slowpoke raising farms or whatever that have the proper permissions for that trade)

I suppose that means Solomon's could potentially fall off naturally in the future? Probably not any time soon if the sweet, sappy tip was just cut off by those Durant, though...

@Nylon, please. Heart gonna pay Valder for that Thundergrass. He need that piece for his side mission for Larversta. I really need that thing
