Pokemon Umbral Theatre 32: Discuss the UmbralGuide

She says that now.

But no woman can resist Pierce.

Anyway, AB, just wanna clarify one thing: Pierce does keep up with news in the scientific world. So if Jeanette ever published a paper or something on Rezonark or the Rezonscape then we can safely assume that Pierce knows about it.

I guess what I'm asking is that, I know Jeanette said people didn't care to know about the Rezonscape, but does that mean she never went public with it?

[Menarker]

For some reason, being a madsoldier or in a Trance in the Rezonscape is a lot like Bioshock 2 where it explains that the Little Sisters see their environment in an extremely modified and dressed up version, almost like a delusion state of sort.

Example idea here: http://chirls.com/v/JgCKpptAf1s/155

Your mind will return to your body and you'll have no rage at all until the chemical wears off.

I get that it means rage as in, like the stat, but I can't help but imagine Charlotte coming out of the rezonscape just being completely drained, calm, and cooperative.

[Menarker]

We would then try to put Charlotte in a vader suit of sort that would perpetuate the same effect in the hope that her normal self never surfaces again.

Hehe, I just imagined that Jeanette could possibly be an asshole with her inventions if she wanted to by giving faulty prototypes for cheap shits and giggles, especially if she gets drunk enough. Like her giving a skintight invisibility suit prototype for someone to test, and the suit becomes invisible, but not the person underneath in a sort of emperor's new clothes thing.

[Dracorion]

AB, just saying because you seemed to think otherwise in your post: Pierce has gone on more dates with Irene since they got together. I mean, it's been a month between then and the party.

Unless you're saying they haven't had sex in that time, which is more believable.

[Astral Harmony]

Sorry about the lackluster RP post. My day's just been one big cluster. Actually, I could say the same about this whole week since Wednesday.

[Menarker]

Not a problem. This post will be sufficient to make us discuss our 2 formations for a while while you get time to work on the response posts from the intermission and everything else you have been working on.


So yeah,

2 Shocker Troopers
2 Medics
2 Snipers
2 Engineers
15 NPC Enforcers (Since there are 5 PCs and each DSS group gets 5 vanguard enforcers and 5 rearguard enforcers).
and presumably 2 destroyers?

Naturally of course, anyone can be chosen as an enforcer by giving up their specialities, so there are a lot of options.

Do note the typings of Water and Ground and Ruin and their respective weaknesses and strengths when casting your votes/suggestions.

*Haven't thought of mine yet*


Of course, there is also the matter of choosing which group our PCs will be in.
My character is pretty good in both cases, but Renny would probably be best fighting the Water Ruin General.

Togekiss: Neutral - Risky: depending on element moves. Able to possibly attack from different directions due to flight or help people who gets knocked over back on board.
Shaymin: Neutral: Grass type bonus against water will make it at least neutral when damaging the water/ruin type. Resistant to water type attacks. Also has flight. Even more risk to ice moves.
Swampert: Beneficial: Able to use the water terrain to best ability. Due to ground typing, takes neutral damage from water moves, but also allows him to collobrate with electric attackers with no risk even when in the water. A primary choice.
Magnezone: Beneficial: Electric and Steel attack helps in both cases.
Mollesk: Bad: Water type ruins this rock type's day.
Umbreon: Neutral: Little attacking potential, but it is there for support, especially with new earned custom move.
Renny: Mandatory - Benefit: Psychic type useful against Ruin as usual.

[Astral Harmony]

I'm so eager to talk about the ideas I've got for the way both generals will fight and defend themselves, but I think I'll keep these juicy tidbits to myself. Nothing like a mid battle surprise technique.

So, not only would each team get Enforcers to fill in the missing PC slots, but those Enforcers would get Enforcers? I mean, I get that we have a lot of characters, but I dunno.

Anyway, I think Pierce would be more useful with the Water Ruin General. Two thirds of his team are weak to Ground. Plus, he can switch out Adamantitar and Blaziken for Starmie and Kingdra. Both are super effective against Ruin and resist both Ruin and Water. Though technically this holds true for the Ground General as well.

I dunno where Charlotte should go. Buck, Sol-Leks and Pike are weak to Ground, but the first two and Hammond are weak to water.

Oddly enough, almost everyone seem to be best off with the water general. Even Charlotte since water moves can be weakened with Sunny Day and most fire types can use Solar Beam, and she got 2.


I do heavily prefer the water general myself especially since Swampert works so damn well, but if it is really needed, I'll move to the ground general. It's mostly a trade off of Magnezone being horrible and Mollesk being neutral against it and that sort of thing.

Of course, Matthias and Impact could be assigned to the ground type, so that wouldn't hurt much. Probably. Although someone like Drac or I would have to write up the battle plans on their behalf (which I got no problem with) and the fact that neither of them post frequently (more of a problem).
