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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I don't remember Shiva ever telling Nathan about her family.  There's never really been a reason for it to be brought up iirc.

Nathan is trying to keep the eggs hidden for now, but given that he's got 5 of them in his bag, Shiva would almost certainly notice it's looking a bit fuller than it was before, I think.  Once she's looking, that is.

Not? Ahh, I thought she mentioned or he picked up on it somehow.

That's something that can be worked with. ^_^

They also have $12,000 worth of gold which they use as weight in their training.

*whistles* Nice find Spirit.
On the Scimitar loot: $1500 apiece for everyone sound fair?
-edit- my b. misread it.

To quote Iron:

enough for each of you to have an additional $7,500

That means we all get $7500 from it.  The Scims seem to have found almost $40k, if not more. Obviously, they found something that was rather lucrative for them in some manner...

2 Conditional Pokemon on Geodude and 2 Steel Balls on Condelkurr.

I think you need to edit that post a little, @Spiritmon. Where'd that Geodude come from? And what's a Conditional Pokemon? And how many Steel Balls did you have before you started tossing them willy nilly?

Conditional Pokeball: 


Conditional Ball

This new variety of Pokeball will be useful in setting traps, containing powerful Pokemon, catching uncommon species, and expanding the relationship between people, Pokemon, and Pokemon freedom.

Using the attached technical documentation, a user can program a Conditional Ball to release or recapture the Pokemon it contains when certain criteria are met.

For example, a Voltorb could be released whenever a wild Pokemon enters the Ball's detection radius (about 100'), then automatically recaptured when the wild Pokemon is defeated.

Or a Bike could be released when a paying customer speaks the correct password.

Or a Pidgey could be released (and de-chipped) on the count of three for trainers to capture as sport.

Or your pet Meowth could be free to roam your house from dawn to dusk, and withdrawn as soon as the sun sets. Just make sure she can't leave the 100' detection radius!


There's an alternate use for a Conditional Ball. If you study a wild specimen long enough to understand it (5 Rounds), you can alter the program to increase the chances of the Ball capturing that specimen. An Almanac, or Almanac plugin for Pokedex, is necessary.
(Spending 5 Rounds studying a wild Pokemon, then you can use Knowledge+Computer Science to determine Seal Strength on any future Conditional Balls for that specimen.)

Also, I had 4 Steel Pokeballs.

*whoosh*

That rhetorical question flew clear over your head, dude.  The only one I meant seriously was the one about the Steel pokeballs.

Your post also still says 'conditional pokemon' instead of 'conditional pokeballs'.

People, who you think I should use Iron? Quetzal could benefit quite a lot. But Percival and Rose could use this item. Ideas?

Go with the Pokemon that doesn't have an inherent way of boosting it's defense and/or healing itself. Quetzal can probably learn Iron Defense, Rose can definately learn either Bulk Up or Slack Off to take care of herself, and Percival (which I believe is a Lairron, correct me if I am wrong) also can learn Iron Defense and it's Mega has built in protection with Fliter + Mega Boost. Best Pokemon to recieve the Iron would probably be Gustav, since I don't believe he has either self recovery or a Defense boosting Move, and any improvements on that survivability front means he can keep pumping out mega Damage and Heal Pulses for everyone. That's just my opinion, though, so take it as you may, mate!

The final decision's ultimately up to you.  Almost any pokemon would benefit from a +1 to an Attribute.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Use it on a Pokemon you frequently use and continue to use or one that you'd like to train up and bond with a little more. Check Type Weaknesses and pick that 'Mon of yours featuring the most, -1 dice in damage can mean a lot.

There's another trapdoor in here, with the same symbols on it as the one Spira found.

Shiva wishes to try unsealing it in a group effort and get down there, especially if her search for a keystone turns out unsuccessful. What about you others? I don't mind nor care that the Scimitars are with us at the moment and would benefit from things are may be down there too, as it's a now-or-never thing.
