[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

(...)Imposter is a rather interesting option too, but its full potential is somewhat wasted on Nox right now due to how it works. Maybe something to invest in next...if you're not going to save for Acceleration, which is less versatile than Imposter but WOO WEE it its specialization awesome!

Depends. I actually AM mildly interested in collecting XP for Acceleration to power up Cyan Surge (and Quick Attack) even further, yes indeed, but not 100%ly sure yet. But before that, Equi needs a decent Dragon-STAB that uses Strength in its damage so I can use it via Evocation; Luxelong doesn't learn any via Level-Up. I'm considering Dragon Tail or Dragon Rush - how much XP would it cost to get that move on the chimeravee as a suprise? Aaand how much would Sucker Punch for a better Dark-STAB cost? (which, as a bonus, would also be powered up by Acceleration, hehe)

Neither of those Moves are remotely in Luxelong's Learnset, so you're looking at 60 XP for Dragon Tail and 50 XP for Dragon Rush. Alternatively, Luxelong can learn Dragon Claw via TM, so hit up the TM Shop or put out a request for a copy to give to Nox so you have a Phys Dragon Stab without having to pay XP (which is hard to get) over Poke (easy for you to get). 

Sucker Punch, on the other hand, would cost 35 XP - it's whole design synergizes well with Nox's MO of Quick Brute Force AND how take aback they become when that doesn't pan out. Keep in mind smart enemies know how to play around Sucker Punch to get free Actions and/or trip you up, so its not terribly reliable unless you're reeeeaaaal clever with it. And while Bern is a clever fellow, Nox....isn't. Pursuit is probably a better option for Dark 'Priority' STAB, given how exploitative Nox is already to enemies weaknesses.

Success! Lopzu is saved! And now the morale of everyone is increased for the battle ahead of us! The Priestress is pretty much tired and might not participate in the battle ahead, but at least now Lozpzu is okay to continue. Also, question Windos: You mentioned we could visit the Old Captain. Is Oz still able to visit her?

And @PhantomUnderYourDesk, you still want one of our characters carry one of your Pokemon just for safety? And you offer some of your items for us to use correct? The healing ones I mean.

Not quite. It was the original plan to lend you people Nirix for the sake of healing and back-up, but with the G-Rapidash not being okay with that and prefering to stay with Bernhard, that plan changed. Equinox aka Umbrelong will be lend out with the request to actively fight on her own terms though - you interested in taking her into your care for just this upcoming battle?
 
Also yes, you people will indeed receive some Healing Items from me - everything I took from the War Party and from Vernax, as well as a few from my personal inventory (note that some of these, like the Max Revive, are strictly reserved for Equinox unless very dire need)

The Priestess will still join, but what she'll be able to do is severely restricted. Such is the price of getting Lopzu back with minimal cost to you and the swordswoman herself.

You can still visit the Old Sailor Lady, though after the Purification and Exorcism you're a bit crunched for time if you want to get to the Super Boss without chancing a reaction from IT.

One word:

Graduation!

If possible I would like to take a look in what Equinox is capable of. Oz could use Equinox moves due to be a Scimitar just like Bernard. I am considering putting Dite in the box depending in what moves Equinox is capable of use, since I have no idea what a Umbrelong is capable of use. But I will keep Equinox safe, I promise. Unless your idea is Oz letting Equinox go in the battle ahead without commands? I kinda bit confused in how this will works, but yes, I will reserved the Max Revive for Equinox in case things be out of control.

I will check right away what healing items Oz will grab for herself.

Understood. Hmm. Question: Along with visit the Old Sailor Lady and check how her condition is going, what other choices I could to go with for preparations of the battle ahead?

Also a really important question for the other teamates: @Dragonstrike, @Redstone, you guys have plans on mind in what preparations you gonna do in-game and what allies you will request? We didn't decided yet if we gonna after the other Leader, or if we gonna go straight to the super boss. Also also, you guys mind if I take a look in the Old Sailor Lady? If my memory serves right, she was the woman who face Oz in battle, and had some kind of ability to turn her body into pure Steel. Don't know if she is a Scimitar or maybe a Super human Pokemon Hybrid, but depending of her condition, Oz could try to heal her, and maybe convince her to join in the battle ahead since, you know, the Sailor Lady was able to beat up the big Whale who was causing a big chaos in the battlefield, so having her in our side is a good call.

Checking up on her shouldn't cost too much time, and aside from that you could try and scout out any other Trainers or the like to see if they want to lend Mons out or, if you're extremely persuasive, join in on an assault on either the Super Boss or going after one of the two remaining Leaders. Chatting with the NPCs and see what their takes/opinions on things is also a good course of action, if you or anyone else are undecided on what you want to do exactly (won't take too much time either) or want more data to go off on before making a choice.

Healing the Sailor Lady will take more than enough time that the Super Boss WILL have a chance to react - you're already pushing it with the Exorcism/Purification of Lopzu to getting some meaningful stuff done without 'advancing the clock' , so to speak. Recruiting from volunteers would be a relatively simple and quick thing compared to a comprehensive healing of Old Sailor Lady, so don't worry about THAT taking up too much time.

looking for someone to replace the BL may be good. as for who to go after i think the weakened sand whale wont be too big an issue if we all gang up on it, though I also dont think it'll be too capable of helping the boss if we beline straight towards it.
