Not wanting to be a douche, but is there any date in when we gonna continue the adventure? I still in the hype for our battle against Landorus whatever you want mate.

Currently waiting on @no one to post so I can ensure everyone is happy with the preparations they've made.  I've reminded him on discord to check in here, so hopefully we won't be waiting too long for that confirmation.

EDIT: Oh, you changed your profile picture to Riolu Kogeki!  Wasn't expecting to see that!

Understood! Lets wait then.

Also thanks. Its been years I had that profile, so I decided it was a nice time to change the picture. So I want to give a thanks to @PhantomUnderYourDesk for the amazing art. I dont remember if I said that before, so I saying right now.

I'm both feeling flattered and seen (yay, thank you Spirit!~) and am cringing at myself at how much this old traditional drawing pales in comparison to what I am capable of drawing now. Probably should start redoing the icons once I'm done with the new boss ones

I like the older icons tbh.

Choices choices choices...fight the big snek, or sneak past the big snek?

[Spiritmon]

Hmm...That's a tough choice. Yeah, we could save resources and sneak past the snake...however I fear for Roserade and Rhyperior safety. Besides, looking at other side it is a Gigantamax Pokemon, in other words, lots of XP. And bigger chances to increase our stats and get more powerful moves.

My side of a player and gremlin for battles say: Heck ya, let's going to fight the giant snake!

But also my cautious and Kogeki side says: Let's sneak past that snake and save our energy against Landorus.

Another thing to consider fighting that snake is the possibility in recruiting a Ground type Pokemon, be in Team Night Wardens or Team Omega Seekers. In terms of offensive typing, Ground Types is one of the strongest, so it would be a nice addition of power in either team.

What you say people? Sneak past the snake and save our strength against the enemy? Or face a powerful enemy to gain XP and MAYBE a ally?

To clarify, it won't just be Rhyperior and Roserade fighting the Gigantamax Sandaconda if you choose to sneak past it.  It would Rhyperior, Roserade, and most of the allies you've brought along (who are all experienced fighters themselves despite not being nearly as accomplished and renowned as Team Raiders) fighting it while your teams continue on ahead. Even Roserade and Rhyperior know a foe like this would be too much for them to take on alone!

Another reason for us to fight Sandaconda. I feel we need ALL the help we can get to fight a Legendary Pokemon. And as much I dont distrust the strengh of our allies, I fear for their safety.

Also, I wanted to show some art a friend of mine made for my campaigh. The first one is a character I played a long time ago called AmonHa. A Githyanki. The second is the villains in my campaigh. The Obsidian Dragons:

So Gigantimax Sandaconda, huh.
I'm torn really on whether or not to fight it.
Barring surprises, Poison Tail and Belch are the only two moves it can potentially learn that are SE against Karen, but the biggest threat would probably be G-Max Sandblast
As for sneaking past the snek, there is always the possibility someone whiffs their stealth roll, should such rolls be made, and us having to fight it anyways.
tl;dr Karen and I both will go with whatever the consensus is.

ETA: should it come to a tie, I am personally leaning in favor of fighting the snake

Problably Kogeki is the most sneak of everyone. I have a idea. I could try use something kind of...distraction. I could try to sneak Sandaconda, and do some kind of sneak attack for everyone have at least a advantage against that enemy. If the adventure have some kind of trap item: Something to cause a good damage, debuff or something in between, Kogeki could carry the item, sneak behind Sandaconda, and then use the item to cause some signicant damage against the enemy.

Dangerous? Yes. Even more to me since the Sandaconda will problably target me since I would be the one who use the item. Kogeki is the most sneak around the group, so it is a strategy. I would count on you to use any healing move in Kogeki or everyone in the group in case Sandaconda try to cause AoE in everyone.

My vote is to fight Sandaconda, and maybe consider the strategy I mentioned.
