[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

After Heart spoted the camera, he quick hide again to inform his friends about what he see. "People, the warrehouse extends beyond 40 yards and there is also rotate cameras. Our infiltrate mission will not be easy."

Nathan holds a pokeball up.  "...should I send Porygon-Z to try and disable the camera or make it malfunction?"

A second and alternative idea she's having has to do with Spira's Ghost Types, in particular the smallest one currently has on hand. "Spira, which of your ghosts you're having with ya at the moment? I'm asking because the smallest one in size could try to get as close to that cam as possible while keeping itself semi-hidden in the wall and figure out whether this cam features any blind spots, with that info we could try to exploit these. However, if this is one of those expensive cams that react to movements and sounds, that'll be quite a hard thing to do." Maybe Shiva has seen and read too much crime fiction.

Spira tries to keep his voice down as he answers her; "I'd say Luna and Nubi are the smallest ones that I have with me. Luna would probably be better suited for that task, though."

After Heart spotted the camera, he quick hide again to inform his friends about what he see. "People, the warehouse extends beyond 40 yards and there is also rotate cameras. Our infiltrate mission will not be easy."

"Noted."

"Its a good plan, but disable the camera would be to much suspicious. Malfunction its a better path to go, since that way it will give us a few seconds of hiding to pass though to the next path. But maybe we dont know how much cameras is ahead of us."

With Shiva idea, Heart have a idea. "Spira, if I may able to help, my Honedge could maybe help you. He know Sneak Attack, so I may order him to hide in the shadows too, so that way he may help Luna to hide both of them. Or maybe send him to count how much cameras its ahead of us, while keeping him hide. What you people think?"

[Dragonstrike]

"If we're waiting around in the open while trying to figure out if it has any blind spots, the camera will probably see us.  Trying to figure out if it has blind spots might be too risky."

[Spiritmon]

"If we're waiting around in the open while trying to figure out if it has any blind spots, the camera will probably see us.  Trying to figure out if it has blind spots might be too risky."

"And disable the system its also risky. It will make those Almanacs and Scims get suspicious about us. Either choice is risky. And we need to make a decision now."

Shiva coughs a bit, she appears to be nervous and her voice is still hurried. "We could hide here behind all the crates while Luna and Honedge check that cam out, there should be enough room if we make ourselves small." She has never heard of a move that's called Sneak Attack though. "...You probably mean Shadow Sneak, do you, Heart? If Honedge obeys you, that could indeed be a useful trick to pull off in order to get as close to that cam as possible without being spotted." She emphasizes these words a bit as she would absolutely dislike the swordmon messing around and doing what it wants in this case, too risky! :o

"Eh, if it's okay, I do would like to try out casting a Magic Room around that cam. If it works, it'll give us a few seconds to get past it; if it doesn't since it's an automatic cam, I don't think that... that anything happens. If all else fails, we could still try to disable it with Porygon-Z's powers, but I, well, fear that'd be the most 'telling' way."

[Dragonstrike]

"One camera not working properly might not set off any alarms.  Particularly if whoever's watching the video feed on the other side isn't being particularly vigilant because of how boring their job probably is.  Malfunction might be safer if Porygon-Z can get the camera to start replaying video that it's recorded previously, though.  Then they'd really have to be paying attention to the video feeds to catch that."

"Dont worry Shiva. I have a talk with him before we get here. He will obey except in battles. He will listen"

Heart think and nod his head. "Perhaps it might be more safe if both of you have Lilith and Porygon-Z out of their Pokeballs. Lets try first Shiva idea, and then if anything elses fails we can go along with Porygon-Z power. Thats the most safe way. Better have a backup plan just in case. Thats why its called Plan Z."

Any roll to get down will need 3 successes to be stealthy, just one success to reach the floor safely. Heart can use Athletics with a bonus because Rose effectively has 4 hands.

For some rolls I may ask for Stealth as a second action, but in this case it's easy enough that a single action can take care of it.

Shiva:
(4)(4)(4)(4)(6)(4) (1)(2)(2)(1)(5)(2)

Nathan (and Spira):
(4)(3)(5)(5)(6)(1) (2)(4)(5)(3)(5)(4)
(2)(6)(5)(2)(1)(2) (1)(5)(5)(5)(1)(1)

Heart:
(6)(3)(1)(2)(6)(2) (4)(3)(4)

You reach the bottom safely and quietly. Gallade perks up: he's sensed another Warren! He points straight down, several times, emphasizing he's deep below the party.

Shiva specifically looked for a crate that's out of place. In fact, she finds three. They're the only crates with labels on them, and they have no dust on them at all. The labels look new, but the crates look old.
"UMBRELLAS (ALMANAC)"
"DISHES (ALMANAC)"
"DYE"

The warehouse-like basement extends another 40 yards in that direction, as you can see by Rose's light.

*roll*, *roll*, *roll*, *roll*

Luckily, Heart spots the glint of a lens in that direction - a security camera, pointed away from you currently. It looks like the kind that can rotate, though, so you cannot linger here for long.

Nathan definitely perks up a little alongside Gallade when it becomes clear that Oscar is indeed here.

There's still a looooonnnng ways to go, though.

Nathan looks to Calam and quietly asks, "...know if there are any ways down to those lower floors from this basement?"

Calam nods, then looks around, confused. Apparently things have changed and his route is no longer there.

The crates are nailed shut. A strong Pokemon or a human with a lever could get them open, but it could take a bit of time.

Gothitelle nods - Magic Room should shut down the apparatus temporarily. It won't affect the operations room, though, so a human watcher or an automatic crash detection program could still notice.

Porygon can travel through the camera if it's wired into any systems. He'll have to deal with whatever defenses the system has.
