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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Wait a moment, I had a sudden realization that'd reason Shiva using one Ball on that Huge Ryhorn and me being not too caught in a feeling of doing so is a waste, I'll share it in GameThread right away! From my side the Encounter can be rolled out afterwards.

EDIT: Done.

@Lord Windos my dear, don't regret it. :C We've got this. I... I just don't like deliberate wasting of things I've paid for. Though if you're saying that Terra would and you wish to aid a little, we could tweak and either have him handing Shiva one of his Balls with the words "Toss this at it to slow it down" or she asking him for one, but it's been your idea so I'd lean into him suggesting this.

If not... Fine, maybe I could draw one of my two remaining Steel Balls.

While normally Terra wouldn't have come up with that idea, for the shake of helping the group stop that Rock Beast before it rocks that caravan's world, I'm fine with that idea if Iron is. Well, mate?

Terra doesn't have time to do that before heading over to the Emboar, unless they'd get a free Action to prepare for him.

Orders/questions for Round 2?

Dr. M shall not die! D:
One question indeed: A Light Screen, me feels it'll at least lessen a possible blow if used as some sort of shield, but is Kyuu able to place it relatively accurate so that the airborne wagon does not 'crash' into the Screen but halts it while Lilith aids with Telekinesis?

Sure. You can angle a Light Screen however you wish, so you could make kind of a ramp to slow it down or alter its trajectory, or a platform for it to land on. With Telekinesis, even easier.

I'm thinking Gallade and Lilith could double team the wagon with Telekinesis, tbh.  That way we can float it gently down to the ground.  That wagon probably isn't nearly as heavy as Rhyhorn was, and two pokemon using Telekinesis could make lifting/directing it easier by easing half of the burden.

On top of that, since Gallade can use his Psychic abilities to anticipate the actions of friend and foe alike (according to pokedex flavoring), he'd have no problem syncing his Telekinesis with Gothitelle's.

[Iron]

Reasonable! A Light Screen would also help the wagon from sinking into the disturbed earth, like Tramp's Mr. Mime did.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Yes, how Mr. Mime made sure the RV does get safely through the muddy road via Light Screen is what I was thinking about. ^^

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

What do you wish to do in order to prevent a collision of the two carriages, @Spiritmon, any ideas or thoughts? Maybe Viktor can quick-grow or control some trees to catch the carriage of Dr. M mid-air and have the branches help on bringing it back to the ground safely?

Okay, since Razor Shell made an appearance, I have to ask this now: are we going to stick with only 1 CD for its -1 Def effect?  

In the games, it has a whopping 50% chance for that effect to proc, which is equivalent to the odds of Crush Claw and Rock Smash having their effects go off (which both translated to pokerole as 5 CD, following the 10% = 1 CD trend).  I'm honestly not sure why the writers nerfed RS's effect so much, tbh...

Yeah just leaving it. Not worth fiddling with.
