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

[Spiritmon]

In this case, I take the encounter against Rhyhorn. Heart have Viktor to deal some good ol grass moves to beat him! Unless anyone want to go against it. But that Emboar/Dewot look pretty tough too. Wish I have Gustav or Rose with me.

But I would like have a extra help with Terra against that Rhyhorn.

[Lord Windos]

Personally, I would like to have Terra fight Dr. M , but with my chara. tired, Shiranui at ~ half HP from Belly Drum (No, I'm not going to use a Potion or ask for a Heal Pulse, since that is a waste of resource in my eyes right now), and half my party not fully ready for battle (Anubi's still a liability, and I rather start out Angie with an easier fight than Tough) , I'll have to sadly decline the opportunity. Probably going to wait to see what everyone else chooses as an Encounter, before deciding what I want myself.

Ah... I felt that Tough Encounter would be quite up your ally, but if your party's not prepared that's reasonable. Maybe you'd like to join Shiva in Dewott & Embroar then? I wouldn't mind.

If anything, I'm going to let everyone else take an Encounter and pass on them myself instead of sharing one (With Ryhorn+ being a possible exception), since I don't like sharing them/the rewards/the XP unless given sufficient IC/OOC reason. Shiva could always ask Terra to join her, but he could always counter with 'Why are you running off into danger, unlike last time?' , or have faith your chara. can handle stuff alone.

Actually since I'm having no penalty and decent Grass and Water STABs with me, I'd more leaning into joining you in that and give the Embroar+Dewott Encounter to someonelse. How does that sound to you, Spirit, @Dragonstrike and @Lord Windos? It'd also bring me near Dr. M. to talk a little with him.

If Nathan wants to help with something else other than Rhyhorn (Like maybe with Shiva, and help mend things?), then Terra be up to wading in with Anubi and/or Angie (All of Terra's Pokemon should have been recalled by now, btw). He's not particularly heroic, but he's always willing to lend a helping hand to those that are in need!

Fine by me and Terra if you want to help take down Rhyhorn + with Heart, as my chara. very much knows the collector is highly competent (From Skull Ruins and the Electrabuzz Fight), and knows that Shiva is a rather tenacious fighter herself when called upon, and so would okay with the pair running off to kowtow the ground dino.

If the EMbroar and Dewott Encounter is open, I'll gladly take it if no one else wants it.

Thats would be good. The help of Shiva or Terra would be very much appreciated. Since my char its tired from the yesterday battle against Tanuki and face that group of Electabuzz.

We could do a 3v3, but that still puts you at something of a disadvantage because the good Dr would have extra Pokemon to select from.

[Dragonstrike]

If you can rearrange your party without biasing toward these Encounters, go ahead.

That's definitely not really an issue.  Was going to be swapping out almost everyone except Gallade since I didn't want to be keeping most of the pokemon I'd shown/was potentially planning to show Bill in the party for too long, and I definitely wanted a good mix of types and some more powerful pokemon in there regardless of what was going to be coming up.

- Gallade (as standard)
- Charmeleon (holding Eviolite)
- Grid (holding Itching Powder)
- Starmie (holding Mystic Water)
- Ray (would have swapped him out, but I already used him in front of Spira, so...I am going to grab the Hard Stone for him to use, however)
- Calam (holding Leftovers)

That all fine?  We're in 'unfamiliar' territory where trouble seems to be abrewing (Electabuzz chasing someone all the way from Cress is definitely more than a little strange...), so Nathan would have wanted to grab as many of his best as he reasonably could.

Thank you for the understanding, my dear!~ Spirit, I was just about to ask whether you're okay with us two sharing the Ryhorn* Encounter, glad that you are! If you want to catch the Rhyorn you can as I'm having no interest in doing so.

I'm going to wait until everyone has decided for an Encounter though before posting in-game.
