Uh...Nathan was talking to Calam there.  I'm not sure Shiva would be present at that point in time...

Was Ventus present in that scene as well though, Dragonstrike? In the middle of my post, and I don't want to continue it and then make a retcon later on because I got things mixed up/confused, so....?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Huh? Ah.... 'To the scene' somehow implied to me that it was to 'all of us, after reuniting', it's seems to be true that my mind's up in the clouds today. Next time, maybe phrase things a little more clearly please. Thanks for telling, I'll just delete the respective post in GameThread then, and it'll be fine. No harm meant!

Yes, that's during the conversation Nathan started with Ventus.

[Lord Windos]

If Ventus were in a better state of mind and mood he might have been estatic that his girlfriend decided to continue fleeing from the furious Siekamater and her hive, (...)

'Estatic'? Either I'm having my head in the clouds here or my dictionary is telling weird stuff, but why would Ven be estatic? Can you quick-explain/clarify please, dear? Just to be sure...

Oh, I misspell that word! I meant to say 'ecstatic' , which means to be very very happy and excited to put it simply! 'He would have normally been really happy that Shiva was thinking of her own safety, but due to emotional dissonance and high stress he couldn't be' was the gist of what that line meant. Sorry for not getting to that question sooner, dear!

Thanks for getting to it in the end! No wonder I didn't get it if accidently misspelled. ^^;
Awwww. Well, there's no real reason to stop for her among the others, so what should she do instead of acting as a brave flying scout? That way, she luckily missed seeing Calam being in such a bad state as well.

Well, he still doesn't look very well and is still rather weak.  Dizzy might want to visit him at a later point just to see how he's doing, I imagine.

He'll recover, sooner or later. All's well!
Probably GM's discretion as not too much is directly known about 'my' Absol, but if he wants to, he'll be granted to so so once or twice, apart from that Shiva would prefer if he resums to flank her side on the further way. That's an asked favour by her!

My criticism of your criticism is that no one really bothered to discuss the tablets or anything. You could have put your heads together and got further. But that's fine, you guys found a way out that still hit the criteria, so that's a "Good job!" from me.

There's no way in hell I'm going to nerf a legendary encounter.

It felt the way I wanted to - overwhelming odds. You, Windos, have always disagreed with my philosophy that some encounters are going to feel more hopeless than others, so we can probably chalk it up to another one of those. The story's the thing.

This thing with a list of weaknesses you have to hit is how all Plot Device encounters are going to be from now on. Seikamater isn't godlike as some of the Legendaries are, but she's still a Legendary! She's a bit of a tutorial, really.

I....I somehow felt that there's more behind these than the eye can see, and here's the hint that that's true, hah! I had Shiva mull over that somewhere when seeing that Seikamater, connecting it with the symbol and Heart's tablet. That huge Caterpie with a crown depicted on Heart's tablet among a Moltres, and that insignia of Zapmulco on the wall - they all hinted on a Seikamater, now it all makes sense! *headdesks from the realization*

True enough, since we didn't exactly consider them all that relevant or (to me) to cyptic to be applicable.

Fair enough, as they are supposed to be obscenely powerful and nerfing on only my account is pointless/not good, but that just means I'm going to try and actively avoid Legendary Encounters or flee from them for now on, or do everything in my power to escape them if I get caught in them despite that. No offense to you or your battle (besides my personal dislike of it), but my preference is for straight 'fair' fights or fights where there is a 'reasonable' and clear win condition to them, not fights against Beings I have no way of knowing anything about them besides what little can be gleaned from clues/hints (Which I am bad at doing).

So long as we can agree to disagree and still get along, I'm fine with having a contentious opinion with your. We just learn to work with and around it, right?

Good to know, even though as I said I'm going to make a point of not getting involved in them. She's one heck of a tutorial, but I can see what you intended to do with her, and can respect/accept the Encounter despite my dislike of it since nothing really permenantly bad happened despite the stacked odds.
