[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Fluidity at first seemed a tiny bit taken aback by your counter offer, but that faded away as they then mulled it over while looking downwards and tapping their chin. It didn't take long for them to come to a decision, though, as they *Clapped!* their hands together and grinned at you with keen interest and joy!

"My my, you are just full of clever ideas and brilliant solution, are you not good sir? Hm hm, such cunning proposal...how could I possibly refuse it? You have deal! Hopefully your associate can obtain one safely and in good health as you assure, but if not....well, let's not think of such grim possibilities until we have to, oui?"

After saying that, the eccentric thrill seeker then twists around and reaches into their bag/Inventory, until they pull out what looked to be a slab of vacuum seal, rich red meat labeled 'Lucky Lion Loin' and passed it over to you.

"Oh, and before I forget, here's a treat for your Arbok to make up for how....roughly that He-Tsareena treated him. Its a rare and extraordinary delicacy among carnivores everywhere, where its widely reported that dining on just one bite one can't helped but feel blessed! Normally I wouldn't dream of parting with such a rarity, but...well....I believe your snake will gain far more use out of this than myself or the rest of my collection of Pokémon."

Custom Item: Lucky Lion Loin!
Cost: $30000 or MORE, depending on where you get it and how big of a cut you receive.
Effect: Grants a + 2 Luck Surprise! to the user, makes all Luck Based Surprises (which include Critical Hits and modifications thereof) reduced to 1/3 of their normal cost, and gives the user 7 XP. Cooking it well DOULBES the benefits, but that requires an Insight + Knowledge + Craft/Cooking Roll Success total of 5 or higher, and any lower ruins the meat and halves the benefits instead.

"Alright then.  I'll get in contact with my associate once we're done here and have them get to work on getting you a GTH Beedrill right away.  Considering they entirely specialize in raising rare and dangerous Bug types, I think they'll be more than fine."

Reiner raises an eyebrow when that bag of meat is brought out.  "Well, that's a rather generous offer.  And an expensive one at that.  Though I suppose after how...that went, Arbok certainly wouldn't complain about feeling luckier."

So out he comes!  Reiner isn't exactly a cook, so we'll make do with what we got now and not take any chances.

"Our new friend here wanted to apologize for earlier, Arbok, so she's got a snack for ya.  Looks expensive, and it might just help ya feel like luck is on your side for once, apparently.  After everything that's happened, I think that kind of luxury has certainly been more than earned."

Back to Fluidity!  "Now then, I believe you mentioned something about an offer of some kind earlier?"
