[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Oz wave her hand to calm the waitress. “Don't worry. And yes, it is kinda dangerous, but I need to help in whatever I can. I am a medic in training, and it is my oath to save lives.”

Oz thinks for a few seconds and then asks Tiffany. “That first offer looks really interesting. This place looks like a cool place to work with. I may ask something however about it: Can my Pokemon help in giving tips and all that? My partners are excellent and might help quite a lot. And again, there might be a time where I will meet my friends to deal with a problem on a mission. A life and death situation. And my skills as a medic are necessary. And if I accept, when can I start? Tomorrow?

“Those odd errands…what are they exactly? I want to know better before I accept. I want to be aware of what kind of dangers I might face. And when it starts.”

"About Dite...just in know there might be a hope I feel a bit more calm. I will try my best to adopt Dite."

"So gracious and noble too! *Smiles* You're a real Pecha Berry - all soft and sweet, kei kei! Still...remember that not everyone can be save dear.. *Voice softens* Sometimes, it is just too late to do any good. *Brightens* Ah, but don't let that stop you from trying anyway - nothing truly is impossible until proven so, and Sutalor....well, it's a place where anything can happen!"

"Mmm...I suppose it wouldn't be the first time we had temp help use their own non-themed Mons to assist them. Only one of them at the time, though - too many helpers can spoil things easily, you know! If you want to start then you can begin right away Tomorrow - assuming nothing comes up, of course!"

"*Smiles* They vary! The shop deals with several different problems or requests at any given time, so what need be done is hard to Pin Missle down. Right now, though, we got a few things that we would greatly appreciate getting down soon~"

====

Mission: Soothe the Sad Soul of Meza the Fafurr!

Request 1: A Throw Back of Fluffy Times of Youre: Hunt for a Mysterious Fox!
- Difficulty: Hard - Tough, with the chance to turn Deadly too.
- Details: Rumor has it that a rare, never before seen fox-like Pokemon was spotted in the Ki'De Ne'Se Brushland Border Zone! Reports on it are sparse, but they say it looked as if it was some sort of odd looking and savage looking critter that could pull just about any Elemental trick to foil Pursuers or lead them to their doom! The Koffe Kupos Kudos wants evidence of this Mon's existence, and if at all possible Captured so they can add it to their line up and give it all the love and attention it deserves~
Note - This is a Multi-Step Quest : It will Span Multiple Encounters. One Encounter is necessary to attempt to enter the Brushland (City was already restricting theri borders prior to the Centers Ransacking, but now...), and you have at Minimum 2 Encounters to find and trackdown the Mon and attempt to Capture or record its existence. Then you need to either spend one Encounter to enter the City again, or 1 Encounter to prepare a Campsite in the Brushlands to resume your search the following day - high risk, but more chances to find the ellusive Mon. Clues can be gathered prior to beginning this Request to help narrow down the search, spending Encounters or resources to do so.
Reward: Full Discount on Meza and a Held Item, TM, and Tool of Great Value if the Mon is Caught; if it's existence is only confirmed and evidence is brought back, this would go to cover 1/2 of obtaining the Discount on Meza and your choice between the Held Item, Tm, or Tool. Full Credit for Discovery will be given regardless.

Request 2: Inspecting 'n Intervention - A Sylveon in Fairy Need?
Difficutly: Medium, Social-Based
Details: One of the Customers has reported that a former long time visiter Ferrix has potentially mistreating his newly Evolved Sylveon Ni-ne, and that said Pokemon hasn't been seen in public or has visted the cafe with their owner for the past few weeks. Requests to check in have been sternly denied, but perhaps a unknown, sweet little medic such as yourself could get to the bottom of this case...?
Note: This could potentially take multpile Encounters; come prepared for the best results
Reward: 1/4 of the Discount, ???

Request 3: Smartie is Stumped - A Circus Master's Phanphy and Swinub Headache !
Difficulty: Easy to Hard, depending on how goes about it
Details: A Circus Master by the name of Thomas B. Shooka'tooka has recently put in a request - his Elephant Pokemon Smartie the Phanphy and Snuffles the Swinub have hit a mental roadblock when it comes to getting their next Act together! The shop is much too busy right now to send help, but maybe another fresh mind and friendly face like yourself could help too...?
Reward: 1/4 of Discount, Free Tickets to next Show (4x), Making more Friends? , etc ?

Request 4x: Come one, come all, everywhere at once - Advertising and Errands!
Difficutly: Easy, but Tedious
Details: What it says on the tin - go out and spread word about the shop, do what you can to convince people to try it out or share the foxes and phants, and do whatever odd errand needed for the shop or a propsetive buyer/seller. This will take you all over the city and can burn quite a lot of time, but hey, nobody said working for a discount would be conveinent. 
Note: This Request is repeatable
Rewards: Vary, but completeting enough of them will grant 1/4 Discount + whatever you managed to gain from those Encounters; especially good work on certain errands could get you more, however!

Shop Work!
Every 2 Encounters you spend at the shop you gain 1/5 progress towards getting that Discount, provided you do a good job or cause any ruckus that would set the shop (and you, by extension) back. Doing excellent or creative enough work could get you that Discount faster, but also may cause burnout or attract attention; stretching your work days out does the inverse. At maximum you can work 2 Encounter per Day at the Kupos Koffee Kudos.
Note: This is an excellent way to 'compress' Encounters of visiting Meza while also still doing your job!
Essentially, every 1 Encounter Spent at the Shop = 1/10 Progress towards Discount.

Dite: Everyday I'll be Rolling Fortune and probability dice to see what happens to them; the longer she goes unAdopted, the greater odds one day she will. 
Note: If someone feels like it, though, they could just purchase the fox and hold onto them for Oz later, in exchange for compensation or various favors in and out of the game. They could also help out Oz complete requests or pitch in, but that is up to you guys!

And that's it!

[Spiritmon]

Oz hand trembled a bit when Tiffany said not everyone can be saved. These awake memories Oz wanted to forget. She holds her own hand, trying to control the cold feeling in her spine and the invisible hands in her mind. She felt as if someone was about to choke her throat, but she calmed down and focused on Tiffany.

“Yes…I am aware of that…” This is all Oz has to say.

Oz did hear all the missions and the works in the shop. And then decided to ask one more question. 

“I am tempted to take the second job at Sylveon. I am quite used to deal with Fairy types on a regular basis since I have Hatterene, so maybe Sylveon would be comfortable around me since I have the smell of fairies around me?”

“Also, do you think I should work at the shop and do the Sylveon mission? I will meet Meza either way, so this could be done I suppose. Or if not, I will do the Sylveon mission since it might require time, but I will come here to meet Meza.”

"Can I also ask some friends of mine to take a look in adopt Dite for me? Is there some kind of problem with that?"

"Can I also ask some friends of mine to take a look in adopt Dite for me? Is there some kind of problem with that?"

Tiffany gives a sad smile - nothing more need to be said.

"I was pondering the very same, dear! *Frowns* Trouble is that Ferrix doesn't have the highest opinion of the Fae. At all . Part of the reason why people are suspecting something has gone amiss with poor Ni-ne. Probably want to hide that fact if you try to chat with them directly. He should be visiting sometime tomorrow, going by his usual schedule, so that'd be a good time to socialize with him and get to the bottom of this affair..."

"Why yes, you can! Doing stuff here or these Favors are not mutually exclusive, dear! Mix and match however you desire!"

"*Smiles, clapping hands!* Certainly! We have customers adopting our cuddly friend here for others all the time, so no biggie! They better do it sooner than later, though, or Dite might find another match before then!"

If you have anything else to do, state it, but otherwise you are free to finish up your Encounter 3 and RP with other PCs while waiting for E4 .

[Spiritmon]

Oz claps her hands, happy in the developtment of things. "Alright! Tomorrow then I will begin the investigation of Sylveon and work here in the Shop! Understood. Lets do the raffle and after that I will need to go. Must meet my companions to told them things. I will see if I can bring a companion with mine with me to help with Sylveon mission."

After the raffle and revelation of Tiffany identity, Oz decided to go wait for the others to do Ianai trial. While waiting, Oz have all her sisters outside of their Pokeballs. She have the Luxury Ball, with the young H-Zorua inside.

"Are you ready sisters? Prepare yourselves to meet our newest sister in our Coven, so behave yourselves. Specially you Persephone."

After saying those words, Oz open the Luxury Ball with H-Zorua.

Action: Release H-Zorua while waiting the others for Ianai Trial!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(I have nothing to add to the whole preparation before as well as the scene of administering Saph our Panacea - it is perfect as it is. It feels very fateful [very matching given what is at stake], very Bernhard-like [not faltering until achieved the desired result] and very 'I am a skilled Mage and know what I am doing' [which he, frankly, is])


~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~


Chipping in from where cured(!!!) Saph wakes Bernhard from his revelatory musing, after everything went...well(!!!) at last

Spoiler

(...)
And

Everything

Went

White

...

....

.....

......

.......

........

.........

..........

...........

............................ "Mr.?"

"Mr. Mage?"


"Mr. Mage?"

"Please.....


"....Wakey wake!"


Your head shot up with a gasp, sweat on your brow as you took a deep breath. That was....that was something else. Such Magic, such pureness and rightness....it was so overwhelm -

"Mr. Mage!"

*Pomp!*

You're taken out of your revelatory musing as something crashed into you shoulder. Snapping towards the it -

"Mr. Mage! You're alright! Yes, yes!! Mama said you would be okay, but it is good! Good to see you are alright!!" 

- Was Saph Gleam, still dressed in her nightgown, hugging your shoulder and giving you a bright, sunny smile.

Her skin was still pale, her eyes that same gradual purple, and her hair seemed to float of its own accord....

But Saph Gleam was Healthy. 

Saph Gleam was well.

Saph was Cured.

Words were merely able to describe all the emotions and feelings Bernhard had during the whole process, even for someone has highly introspective as him. Feelings that resulted from one single wish and desire: Helping this young girl with his masterly skills, breaking this curse pestering her, freeing her father from all the desperation he had for all that he has left. Allowing for both to take one another into their arms again, hug one another again, as it should be.

The last hope he has been, this Scimitar that Mr. Gleam approached all anxiously at the TM Store has been - and that very Mage lived up to that hope. No, it indeed did not matter to Bernhard whether young Saph won't ever be the same again; what mattered is that she will recover. That the curse laid on her will be broken. That she will... see the world again, with all its wonders, as it should be for someone as treasured and loved as her.

And as that very same daughter of the Gleams was right there hugging his shoulder and giving him that bright smile - Bernhard could not help but to return her hug, gently - yet, with no small amount of pride - pressing her against his shoulder. For right now, all he wanted was to hold her tight and not let go. Savour this moment of success, of having made it, of everything - from not being aloof towards Mr. Gleam's inquiry about Nirix to pouring in the Panacea into the IV with utmost care - having paid off. He was still processing everything that has happened, he fell in sort of a trance during the whole process, starting from pulling out that one bottle of the Panacea and giving her one last look to the moment now... But right now, all that really mattered was that Saph was well. Healthy. Cured.

"Thank you. Bernard."
Another voice, behind Saph.
Looking past her, you see what appears to be an etheral woman, wearing a seafoam green dress and carmel brown hair, and blank green eyes. Around her neck was the Sapphire Pendant - now sporting what looked to be a Pupil and Iris within the gemstome.
The woman - Ezmeralda - gave you a tearful, grateful smile, clasping both hand to her heart.
"Thank you for saving her."

It was then when he looked past Saph, spotting what could only be her mother indeed. She who has never left, she who was still with young Saph, still loved and protected her like the most precious treasure that she no doubt was... She who has come to Bernhard's rescue yesterday night when the brewing process was about to fail. When, thanks to her intercepting and trusting in him, a miracle has occured...

He returned her grateful smile, leaned more into Saph's hug as if to reinforce that this moment was real. "It is not just me who deserves your gratitude. I do have to thank you just as well. For believing in me, for never leaving Saph's side, for continuing to fight back the curse. It is not a small amount your doing that this moment is made possible, Ezmeralda. Thank you.... Truly, utterly and completely. Young Saph is blessed to have a loving and caring mother like you are. Blessed indeed... *looking down, beat, but awestruck* "Such love and devotion... It flatters me that I am here to enjoy this moment with you, that things have went well and will go well from now on for you, for Saph, for Ruben..."  *looking away from Ezmeralda and back to Saph, still in the hug* "From here on, things will be fine. The curse is no more..."

...Still, there is one thought that Bernhard cannot quite fathom - Saph's words of how he 'saved her mama'. .... Did he? He does not remember ever having done a commission or request or favour for dear Ezmeralda.

Unless...

.....Unless it it connected to how she/the Saphire pendant acted on its own yesterday.

"Mr. Mage! You're alright! Yes, yes!! Mama said you would be okay, but it is good! Good to see you are alright!!"

Towards Saph herself, Bernhard had little words. He did not feel that many words were needed though in the first place, how he who is a stoic, stern and no-nonsense Mage of high ranking, returning her hug was enough said. His voice... it's in Bernhard's terms suprisingly gentle still, soft, yet no comparison to the one he use to greet Saph when she was so weak and whispy with the curse still in her system.

He whipes away some of her tears of blood with the sleeve of his robe, if there are any still. Invites and encourages his Pokemon partners - Zephy, Myra, Spritzee - to greet young healthy Saph, rejoice over their success achieved together. Nirix... He receives the most appraising and reverent look Bernhard is able to bring up. (more on that and him later).

Then, Bernhard shakes his head. "How I am is secondary. Tell me, dear Saph, how are YOU doing? How do you feel?"

*chuckles very lightly, smiling* "Oh please, young and dear one, do not call me 'Mr.Mage'. I'd much rather go by 'Mr. Samsara' in your books."

Vernon hands the Wide Lens over without a thought.

You can see an emotion in his eyes when he spots the Prism Scale - not a covetousness, though. "Ah, that brings back memories. We used to find Feebas on the farm back home, just every now and then, when they'd swarm in the irrigation ditches."


For vehicles:
"How many people can fit in one vehicle? Is there something Wilds-capable that can handle a whole party on one set of wheels? Can they outspeed dangerous Pokemon? Can they withstand a first attack?"

For firearms: 
"All I'd like to know about is the kind of firearms that would have a chance against unusually powerful Pokemon. Anything useful in defense against Pseudos or stronger?"

Seddi looks a little confused at first when Vernon just gives him the Broken Wide Lens, but then shrugs and puts the item in his bag.  He'd only intended to tell Vernon that it was probably worth keeping ahold of the item.  If Vernon doesn't want it though, who is he to object?

Spoiler

Deciding to go from Bottom to Top, the guide gives sharp nod and points to the stairs that lead to The Basement - Holding all the Heavy Duty Hardware! 

"Righty 'o! *Points Forward Dramatically!* That way, Goodra!"

Together, you enter the basement, and find much the same that Vernon did on his first go about the place - https://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthre...8#pid80948

Your ever high spirited guide you to some soft couches and chairs and offers you to sit whi1e she exp1ains the bare basics of The Basement.

"First Stop - The Hardware Depot! This is where we ho1d and se11 our Heavy Duty Trave1 Vehic1es for the frontier, as we11 as a sma11 co11ection of Firearms 1ocated further inside. We a1so store and secure the vehic1es of various agencies and organization of our fair city, inc1uding our own First Response Units and Tour and Expedition Squad! If you want the very best to get around this great and wi1d Region then buying or renting one of our top-of-the-1ine vehic1es is THE best decision you can do! 

"*Bashfu1* ...Prices are not cheap, though - bare minimum you can spend on transportation here is about $10000, and that's if you get the most bare bones option, and that is NOT what I wou1d recommend. Why? *Frowns* 'Cause, franx1y, it'd be p1ain stupid to cheap out on this. *Sighs* Not that many Tourists be1ieve me or that they can do 'fine' out in the wi1ds with on1y their Mons and grit, but a11 the missing persons reports and severe Wounds says it a11 - the Wi1ds of Suta1or are dangerous. Extreme1y so - you Foreigners have are Fortunate to have most1y Tame Wi1ds, or your worst parts secu1ded from the rest. Here? It's b1eeding EVERYWHERE, even creeping into our Sett1ements from time to time! Why I heard that a F1utter Mane was spotted by some beyond Fortunate sou1 - most peop1e don't get off so easy catching their attention. At a11. 

"*Huffs* Point is, Suta1or is not for softees or those that can't afford the hardship it gives away as if they're party favors. The Wi1ds ho1ds bounties and treasures with no equa1 to anywhere e1se in the Wor1d....but so too are its threats. They don't ca11 our Region 'Insane' or 'A Death Wor1d' for no reason, those wusses.

"*Sighs* Anyway, if you want to get between any of the Sett1ements in Suta1or safe and fast as you can - and trust me, you do un1ess you are prepared for weex 1ong trecxs between p1aces - then you HAVE to get some form of Transportation. Ah, and if you're wondering about F1ying or Te1eporting, that stuff ain't happening un1ess you have SUPER powerfu1 Mons. The distances between cities and towns are so vast, and the 1and so charged with mystica1 mumbo xumbo, that most Te1eporters are SO1 or run the possib1ity of fragging themse1ves doing 1ong hops, whi1e F1ying....

The guide grimaces. "...1et's say that the atmosphere and air are home to some right nasty critters that don't p1ay so nice1y to intruders. Un1ess your F1yer can trave1 at sub-sonic speeds or is stronger than a roided out Gyarados, don't do more than short 1ow atmosphere f1ights. Trust me on this. 

"We do have a Te1eport Networx estab1ished - big o1' thanxs to the Scims for he1ping with THAT! - but it's hiddeous1y expensive in terms of Cost and Energy it guzz1es down. It's pretty much in the proto-type stages right now, and is on1y used by the super wea1thy Riss - Tourists , by META or AEGIS Agents needing fast ro11 outs, or for rapid transportation of materia1s for those that can afford it. You guys don't appear SUPER rich, so I can't recommend that way of trave1ing."

The woman *C1aps her Hands* , a11 smi1es once more!

"Now, are any of you interested in seeing what we have to see for Transportation and Firearms, or wou1d you prefer to save that for another time?"

Huh.  Word seems to get around fast.  Either someone else also saw Vernon and that Flutter Mane last night, or they were also waylaid by the crafty creature.  Seddi's gonna need to keep tabs on this...

So many different ways to not travel around Sutalör...noted.  Bit of a shame that a standard Teleport wouldn't work between major landmarks here though...

Spoiler

Vehicles:

“That depends on the kind you want, and what tech they have. Smallest are our one person cycles, the two man cycles or Forestress Buggies, then 4-Man Scizor Jeeps and Escavaler Convoys, and lastly Durant Class All Terrain Transports! And those are only the standard models - we got more specific designs for speed , defense, or pure firepower. All the vehicles themselves can survive a heck of a lot of abuse, with the best dapple of tanking Hyper Beams without chipping the paint! *Winces* Though if you go with more budget options that protection is more focused on the vehicle itself, if you catch my drift. Same applies to cycles, but they make up for it with speed and mobility - these are the ones to avoid about anything if you can afford to spare on protection. Lastly, our more advanced models of vehicles have Pocket Room Tech - more space on the inside than out! Better ones could fit a whole household, gym, and mini Center! SUPER expensive, but between all they offer and the immense amount of protection they have their is no safer option to travel Sutalor!”

Super Guns:

“*Sharply Raised Brows* Why in the world…? You don’t fight those sorts of critter unless you have a damn good team and/or Military Grade Hardware. You hide, you run, or you do every you can to get it to spare ya - or only take you, if all else fails. Avoidance is a stronger deterrent than any fire arm or Mon - the powerful monsters tend to make themselves KNOWN in an area. Diplomacy could work too, if you are someone like Queendim Killer or Shiva the Redoer, though I don’t recommend it unless you can afford to.

“*Sighs* …We do have some guns that could put up a decent fight against Pseudos, if you truly insist. Mostly Shotguns and Single Shot Rifles, but we do have an Beedrill Uzi and Broken Butterfree Magnum in stock we managed to snag from so professional mercenaries looking to trade up. None of them are cheap, and the kind of Ammo you need to do more than diddly is just as pricey or hard to make - or illegal outside of Military use, like Uranium Rounds or Dire Bio Buckshot. Don’t make those things, or at least don’t do it anywhere near a settlement. Or if it’s used to saving and defending lives - eyes go Flash blind if it’s for a good cause, having stuff you really shouldn’t.”

Bigger on the inside, huh?  "I take it Dodger likely got his vehicle from here?  Certainly big enough on the inside to make me wonder how he fits all that furniture in there."

As for the employee's comments on the guns and 'turning a blind eye'...

"So theoretically, if someone needed a weapon to, say, help save Bayahama, you could sell them something that would help do just that.  Not that I need a weapon like that while I've got my friendo Goodra here!  Could probably fight off all but the most powerful or mystical critters basically all on his own!"

Seddi might be talkin' a little big about Goodra there, but he's also trying to keep any commentary he has on the more serious topics less obvious to a casual listener.

As for getting a closer look, Seddi would be interested in looking at the vehicles a little more closely.  He's probably going to need some reliable transport for when he really gets his research going.

[Redstone]

Akamu will join in on inspecting the vehicles closer. After all he has a Mission that lies beyond the wilds.

[Lord Windos]

Alright, I’ll bring up the real basic Vehicle List!

Accelgor Mono/Duo Cycles - Base Cost $10000 Poke. Has Bag like storage, can be synced to own inventory. VERY fast and maneuverable, but affords little protection. $5000 + : Gets you a One Per 2 Enounter Center Heal for 1 Mon and a once a Day Sat Link to the PC Network for Comms and Trades and Transfers. + 2500 $ to make us 2 Person. 

Forrestress Buggies: 4-man, rugged, decent speed, and can be slept in or used as a part of a tent in a pinch.Good protection, stability, and economy on mileage. Costs $20000 Poke , or 25% off to rent for 1 Month. Can upgrade by $5000 for same CenterCons upgrade, can Heal up to 2 Mon per 2 Encounters. Can tow stuff too and can float in a pinch!

Scizor Convoy: N/A expensive as heck, and only for large groups of vehicles going on a long trip round Sutalor. Ask for details!

Durant Transportation: The cream of the crop - can hold and house up to 6 - 8 people with its Pocket Room Tech, and is basically a mobile Base crossed with a tank. Slow, but reliable, and can travel all terrains, even Water and mountains with the right upgrades! Comes bundled with a Full Heal Center for 6 Mons and a mini med bay to help treat injuries or sickness, as well as said Sats Coms (and a multi media center) now 3 per Day. Upgrades include Surf Tech, Rock Climb Tech, Gun Batteries, and more Inside Facilities for $5k minimum (Surf and RC are 5k, Guns are 7500). Costs $50000 min, but comes with a lifetime warranty and first time free repair!

Those are the Basics! If you want more specific things, it’ll take a bit for me to list them out later! Save Weapons for another time!

One last thing to note: The Ninetales seems interested in your Feathered Crown, looking at it with a sense of intrigue and wonder...

Darren lets the Ninetales sniff at the feather crown
--

With that, unless I'm forgetting something, Darren's encounter is (almost) done
as he's leaving the room, he presumably bumps into Oz (@Spiritmon) as she is talking about adopting Dite.
(1)(2)(2)(4)
"Oh, fancy seeing you here." Darren thinks for a bit, not feeling super empathetic about her plight, but he decides to help anyways. "If possible, I'll adopt, Dite was it, for the lady here." to Oz: "For a favor later, battle or your skills, your choice"

*cha-ching*

After the adoption, Darren gently passes Dite to Oz.
