Open Info Collection Post

[thaumewturge]

Who: Rhel + anyone who wants to help out
Where: Pokemon Center
When: August 8th
What: So Rhel wants to get all the information folks may have learned written down! Come help?

[Rhel can only hope that other people are of the same mind when it comes to gathering information. She doesn't know much about this place, she doubts other people know all that much about this place, and the more information they can get and make accessible the better.

So she asks Minato for help and tells the people she recognizes what the plan is and on the eighth of the month she settles down for a day-long info gathering fest.

She's quite pleased with the rather pretty journal and pencil she managed to find, too.]

OOC: Like it says in the explanation, Rhel wants to get all the information everyone's been gathering piecemeal and write it down! Feel free to threadjack if everyone's okay with it, I just play a nerd who'd do this sorta thing.

That shouldn't be too difficult, though I have no idea how we would keep them connected without magic...does this world have waterproof paste, perhaps?

[compendiem]

We could tie them together...

[ A world of magic's made you lazy, Rhel!! We're in the dark ages, gotta find the simplest solution that works. ]

[thaumewturge]

Well, yes, but will that keep them together? The last sea dragon I dealt with was very violent and thrashed about and knocked people around like ragdolls. I don't see why this one would be any different once it realizes what we're doing.

[compendiem]

[ This sea dragon will definitely thrash around and try to eat anything in its way if it were caught up in a net without being properly restricted. But Minato doesn't have a good answer to this question that isn't looking about the room hoping somebody knows some really good knots that aren't just triple slip knots to keeping pieces of rope together. ]

How did you handle the last sea dragon you dealt with?

[thaumewturge]

Well, Leviathan was a bit...different than the Gyarados, but we had sort of...well, we used corrupted crystals to dampen his power so I and some allies could beat the shite out of him, essentially. He did not appreciate that and tried to destroy the ships we were on. Nearly succeeded a few times, too.

[compendiem]

Huh... Joonghyuk suggested poisoning the Gyarados with berries. Then we could beat the shit out of it... and nearly get destroyed. Might have to rethink the tailend of that plan.

[ Otherwise, it sounds feasible? Brute force. ]

[thaumewturge]

Well, I would hope we'd not get destroyed...

[compendiem]

We'd better strategize a way for many weaker Pokemon to overwhelm and overtake a much stronger opponent, then.

[ This is the opposite tactic of what he's ever used, which is to overlevel and face his opponents head on, even without a full team. ]

[regression]

Train your Pokemon, even if we decide on a different strategy.

[ Yes, he's going to be the nagging mom. ]

[compendiem]

Or recruit stronger Pokemon. Nanami says you can keep up to six with you at a time. But it's harder to train a bunch at a time... the experience spreads too thin.

[ What they need is an army of Chinchou. Between all of them, they can get maybe a hundred. ]

[regression]

Considering we're not experienced trainers, the results may also vary.

[ While resistant to water, Chinchous can only handle a number of hyperbeams. ]

[compendiem]

Varying means there's a chance it might turn out alright... How confident do you need to be?

[ Besides, if they fail, they can always try again. Somebody might die in the process, but at least they tried and know what works and what doesn't. ]

If there's any chance... it should be worth trying.

[regression]

... You need to actually train.

[ Some people are normies, maybe they don’t even care to share the same goal.

You don’t even have plume of dusk why be okay with death!! ]

We should still train, either way. It will benefit is whether or not we choose to battle the Gyarados.
