[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

Viktor assures you there's nothing hidden in the shadows, no secret caches or anything like that. Almanac is quite aboveboard. He points to some cables on the server and traces their paths underground for you, though. One wire definitely leads to the hole. The rest lead away into the walls on important computer business.

What an ironic statement to make, given the location of this room.

So one of the wires connects the hole with...the servers?  Hmmm...

Out of curiosity, is there anything odd about the time clock at a second glance?  And it didn't appear that anything was currently in the hole at the base of the pillar, right?

Any clocks in the room are normal. The hole is empty, but the endpoint of the hole seems to be copper or something that could conduct electricity/signals.

Heart have think for a while about that seal...and then he have a idea. "Viktor. Can you use Phantom Force to travel between dimensions to see if you can unlock that barrier from inside? Maybe that could make us discover what is inside."

Viktor CAN get inside, but he can't find any toggles or anything. You can't even power down the server from here.

Oh, in that case I will snatch at least 12 Condition Pokeballs. Want to at least give 2 to Shiva.

So that begs the question: could Gallade get Nathan in there with Teleport if the peacable restrictions are removed?  Or would the barrier count as a solid object that Teleport can't go through, and we'd need a Ghost to get past it in that way?  Or here's another crazy idea: if just removing the peacable restrictions isn't enough to Teleport past the barrier, could spending exp remove the restriction on being unable to pass through objects?

'Cuz if we can Teleport Nathan past that barrier and also get him out without disabling it, then that'll solve the issue right then and there.

Nathan kinda gives Heart a weird look.  "...and what do you plan to do with those?  We're already trespassing, possibly also doing a little vandalism.  You really want to add theft to the list of illegal things we're doing? I can guarantee those Conditional Balls aren't on the market yet."

"There is a old saying my friend. Thief who steal thief have 100 years of forgiviness. Also, its not like they haven't done illegal things themselves. And I imagine Shiva might be interested in one or two of those."

The Pokeballs are on the table, not inside the barrier.

The barrier counts as energy, not an object, so in theory you should be able to get inside with the boosted Teleport. Unless it has been specifically designed to prevent that somehow. It shouldn't set off any alarms that would detect the barrier failing or being passed through.

Hmmmm...alright, let's give it a try then since there aren't any other readily obvious and/or easy solutions.  A boosted Teleport could also be useful in certain other situations.  38 exp is spent to enhance Gallade's Teleport!  Now the question is: can he get Nathan past that barrier with it?

Also, Teleport's a Psychic move, so would the Clamperl Pearl help boost it in any way?

Scimitar Androids Round 2, cont

Bubble Beam 2
(5)(1)(6)(6)(3)(4) (5)(2) Crit
(4)(3)(4)(3)(2) Electric Gauntlet takes 2 dmg 3/5hp

Crunch 2
(3)(2)(1)(5)(3)(2) (3)
(5)(1)(6)(3) Psychic Gauntlet breaks!

Fire 2 on Shiva/Yena, who jumps from melee with one to intercept another.
(3)(5)(4)(3)(3)(5)
(4)(2) Yena takes 1 dmg
(2)

Electric 2 on Spira/Hida
(2)(2)(3)(5)(5)
(5) Hida takes 1 dmg

Dragon 2 on Shiva/Azu
(6)(1)(4)(6)(1)(1)
Azu intercepts the full attack.

Lava Plume 2
(5)(2)(6)(6)(4)(2) (3)(4)(2) Critical
(6)(4)(1)(4)(2)(4) The electric gauntlet shatters.

Bubble Beam 3
(5)(4)(3)(6)(6)(1) (6) More crits!
(3)(4)(4)(5)(6) The fire gauntlet fizzes and explodes.

Crunch 3
(3)(5)(1)(6)(2)(3)
(6)(3)(6) Dragon gauntlet takes 2 dmg 3/5hp -1 "pain"

Gauntlets only make 2 attacks

Flame Burst 3
(2)(2)(6)(4)(4)(5) (2)
(5)(2)(6) 2 dmg 1/5 hp

No need to roll the rest of this. The Flame Burst melts through most of the gauntlet, and then the splash damage melts right through the piston as well, completely destroying it! The remaining pistons within the carvings continue to claw at you without gauntlets or energy, but as long as you don't go over there you don't have to worry about it.

It might a little. But it doesn't seem necessary in this case - Nathan and Gallade appear inside the barrier.
