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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Whoahw. Eh... All I wish to do is basically GET THE HECK AWAY from it until the lurch brings up into safer times: @Iron, are we too trapped by that wall of thick Tall Grass or are we out of the range; and if we are trapped: How likely would it be to attempt creating a passage for us with our strongest Fire/Bug/Flying Type Attacks to flee?

Well, you are trapped in the southwest portion of the continent. Fleeing south or west is still entirely possible (but the true Deoxys is south).

Then fleeing South is no option, as by no means I'd like to encounter that Deoxy or it's clones, least of all attempting to battle it. :o 

If I'm looking at the map of the region and mentioned directions right, both northward and eastward are the mountains of the Great Divide, which are an obstacle on it's own that we'd have to pass if that'd be the decision. Though me feels anything that'd slow us down on fleeing could rather quickly be fatal, so by classical procedure of exclusion only fleeing westward would work as there is only taiga/future savannah. Or we could attempt following this mentioned ice cave which is close by anyway and where we'd meet Spira again?

Something like this:



You're pink. Tall Grass is green. Deoxys is orange.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Thanks for the picture'd clarification! It pretty much matches with what I was imaginating, westward in direction Teazel Valley is indeed the only 'free' way - but this feels way too easy, I'd almost bet there will be obstacles if we attempt to escape that way. But for now that's my only suggestion what to do, waiting for the others to give their thoughts and ideas is it then.

[Dragonstrike]

I'm a little concerned about fleeing to the west.  Given that Deoxys is herding the wild pokemon and cut off basically all avenues of escape except that one...

However, the only other major alternative I can think of is we try to hide in the mountains/caves, as running isn't going to be much of an option if we're mountain climbing/spelunking.




In general, I think we need to avoid drawing Deoxys's attention if at all possible.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

There's as said the mentioned ice cave where we can seek shelter from the rumbling earth and raining dirt, and where we'd meet Spira again - to be honest, I don't want to leave him behind at all or risk that he won't end up coming along on the lurch because we're too far apart from each other.

[Dragonstrike]

I'm more in favor of hiding in the cave, to be honest.  Deoxys is probably more likely to notice us if we try running across the open fields.

I don't think he'd be left behind when the lurch occurs, but being all alone if caught by the Deoxys would = bad times, no question.

[Lord Windos]

.....Holy shit. I half expected something like that to happen, but........not on that scale. Woo boy.....

I'm.....honestly at a lose how to act. Terra's not dumb enough to go sacrifice himself in this situation, since he knows it would be useless and Nathan/the others would stop him now, but.....well, what else can be done except hide it out? Or run for the hills?

I also have the irrational but compelling urge to have Terra go up to one of them and say hi, and look into those lights to become More than Human. Question is whether or not that be pure suicide, or if Nathan's PTC would be able to wisk them away even if he got caught. Iron?

Well, Spira's hunkering down at the Volcano, unless things go sour (Seen here)
