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

[Lord Windos]

Dragonstrike, what are your ideas of investigating Slowpoke Well Proper for the Treasure (and the area in general, if that is of your interest too)? That, and what does Nathan think of Terra getting increasingly buddy buddy with Cosh and the Scimitars?

During quick update of my charasheet I noticed I forgot to add something during Shiva's interaction with her new Primal Eevee: Giving her 2 points in Medicine Speciality for 12XP so that she's not totally lost/reliant on the others of the group or Items shall her Pokemon suffer lethal wounds, reasoned by her increased desire to keep her dear Pokemon safe after having survived both a battle against a Genesect and two Mecha Volcanion. She believes that these two Encounters were only the beginning of what is lurking down these Ruins.

I probably won't give her more than these now 2 points, and I'll still try to find unusual ways to patch up wounds to roll Insight instead of Dexterity in that Stabilize Check.

The area is definitely interesting enough for Nathan to want to look around it.  This is FTS stuff, after all.  

Given that the Artifact is apparently deeeep underwater according to Lurantis, it'd be wise to look for that.  Solomon is probably one of the pokemon best suited for the task of assisting in that search.

As for the last topic...Nathan's refraining from commenting on it for a reason.

Posei and Gustav is ready to go!

Welp, looks like Spira managed to survive relatively unscathed after all! Goodie!

This could have been ALL avoided, though, if you ( @Mikaruge108 ) not only refrained from pointing out that Driftfloon faint (And Ergo put your Chara's life at severe risk. Smart move, that....), but also HEALING Luna prior to them flying you down the waterfall. Keeping your 'Mons topped up is CRITICAL in just about any situation, but especially in such a deadly, hazard prone place as the Skull Ruins. NEVER forgot that, or more still like Spira taking a free fall will happen again and WORSE.....

I'm not trying to be rude or overly mean about it, but what happened could have been easily avoidable. Mistakes can be learned from and not entirely bad, yes, but in the Skull Ruins, NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, can afford to make them.

Terra's reaction to Spira's near death.....he doesn't have one, for one reason or another. I'd go so far as to say he was not even aware such a thing happened, and just carried on as he did with no change in his mode of behavior. Simple as that.

Reporting HP isn't a mistake lmao

Y'all are definitely having supply problems though. Luckily, you're in a land of shipwrecks.

Hence why Nathan emphasized at the start how limited his healing stock is.  He's only got 2 Revives left, and Spira's got 3 or 4 KOed pokemon (partially from how aggressively he's been taking encounters involving Ghost types, which is both an advantage and disadvantage)

This is probably also a bad time to say this, but Ditto's random transformation today is a Houndoom.  And it's stuck as that for the whole of Day 80, too.  No Heal Pulses from it today.

In most cases, I agree. In cases where it leads to characters getting put on the chopping block....

Eh, on my end Terra's doing fine on everything but Pokeballs, and imo between all the Heal Pulsers/Wishers we have/will have (Gallade, Ditto, Gustav, Solomon, Raphael, and eventually Sari) and self healers like Michael/Raphael, we only have to use Medical Items to treat Lethal Damage and Reviving Pokemon between Long Rests. How's everyone else doing on supplies, tho ?

As for Wish, the wording of the Move says as follows: 'At the beginning of the next Round, this Move becomes a Basic Heal. Some wishes may be granted.' It doesn't specify say that the Pokemon that USED Wish is the only one that recieves the Basic Heal, and the second part of the Move leaves it rather open to interpretation as for what it really can do. This pretty much allows Wish to act as a Basic Heal to Pokemon/Humans that 'Switch Out' with Raphael, among other things.

And Wish is commonly used to heal pokemon besides the user in the games, too.  It's the move's main gimmick, after all.

Nathan has plenty of Potions, Status healing items, and Pokeballs (plus some Berry Juice), but low on Revives.  We need to keep as many of our pokemon from getting KOed as possible, or we're goin GB to be in for a bad time (unless we find a large cache of items capable of reviving characters)
