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

[Dragonstrike]

Am also having a question concerning the move Assist that my new cat can learn, please: According to the describtion in the corebook, I can choose the move that will be performed, it has to be one a current party member knows. That's actually pretty cool, but I'm seeing a potential to outright exploit that if one wants to, for example by always and only choosing the strongest attack or such. You maybe want to defuse or change that or is that not worth it?

Do note the book also says the move chosen is from a random party member.  So even if the move isn't randomly chosen, the pool of moves you can pick from is.

Does Spira have any more questions for Nathan, @Mikaruge108?

That's how I interpreted it as well. I'll just roll a dice to figure out which party member. For battle orders, you could tell me "Purrloin uses the strongest offensive move" or something like that.

That sounds like a fun thing to explore and outplay in battle, hoping that I'll have time and muse to train up Purrloin a bit!~ I'm not quite sure yet what to do with the given Free Encounter Slot, I'll let you know when I decided on something.

You said earlier you might check out the cave. It's not far away at all.

The other thing left unexplored is the signs of civilization/logging, but that would be a bit of traveling.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

If Shiva would be to meet those people that are logging the Great Forest before her bare eyes after she has just seen first-handed what wonders are found within there, she might just tear them to pieces. (Not literally, but it wouldn't be a nice scene at all)

I'd assume there are Pokemon living inside that cave? Because spending that Free Encounter to have Pancham and Purrloin engage in a Double Battle against a random encounter to have the former enjoy some more action + try the latter out right away sounds like an idea I can get behind. Would anyone want to join in cave exploration? I don't mind venturing in there alone if not, but if so we can team up maybe!

Nathan might.  Flygon Ditto is something I've been wanting to try out for awhile now, and it's going to be awhile before I get another opportunity to do so.

Yeah...Terra still quite mad indeed. I must remember in make a apologize when we return to the future

(Out of curiosity how much honey is considered a "unit"?)

The book says 1 Honey is equivalent to a small barrel worth of the stuff.  As far as for how Nathan carries around the stuff...well, let's just say he has an unspecified number of large jars he carries his Honey around in.
