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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Your Ice Lord gives you a reassuring pat on the back once he detects how STRESSED you are, as while the NRF is near paradise on earth for him (minus the Corrupt Nucmons), he more than understand that its the polar opposite for you...


Lab #2 looks much the same like Lab #1, save for what things were on/around the work benches/cabinets, and they're being only a couple of large freezers as opposed to the MANY. No Nucmons were here to greet Reiner in this lab, thankfully...…

……but unfortunately it wasn't empty of lifeforms.

There were five scientist, two men and three women, were in the lab to greet Reiner.....and all of them were dead. 

The two men were hanging by makeshift nooses from a visible pipe in the ceiling, eyes bulging outwards and their faces/neck heavily bruised.

One of the women was leaning/haning over a sink, and closer examination revealed both her had long, vertical slits that extended from the inside to the elbow to the base of the hand. 

Another collapsed on the floor, head sickenly twisted to the side. 

The last was sitting sprawled in a chair, eyes closed and a blissfully peaceful smile on her face, with a syringe clutched in one hand and an empty bottle of morphine laying discarded in front of her.

All the bodies were surprisingly not too decayed/bloated, though given how blisteringly frigid it was in the lab (with Frosslad dropping the temperature even MORE), that may be more due to the cold slowing those processes down.

…

Item #1: (1) and (15) You manage to discover that the OD woman actually had a extra filled Syringe of Morphine in one of her lab coat pockets. 

Item #2: (3) and (11) You find a Guard Specs and Potion on one of the hang men's body.

$1500 Poke in total were collected from all the corspes.

Finally, you discover one computer with a camcorder on top of it that, upon inspection/fiddling around with the mouse, pulls up a what appeared to be a paused visual/audio log video, with the thumbnail being the image of the OD Woman, Alive but....distressed, with the title of it being 'To Those That Find Us.'

...Do you play it?

(Lindworm is currently busy looting the bodies, and that will be resolved after Arial/Reiner fully resolves their own Encounters.)

Custom Item: Morphine Syringe
Cost: N/A (Ask the Merchant later, its not important now)
Effect: Has 3 Doses, with each dose nullifying all Pain/Accuracy Reducing Effects (Including from Paralysis), temporary increasing a person's/Pokémon Happiness by 1, lowers Disobedience by 1 + forces Loyalty Rolls on Wild Pokémon (Your Will vs Their Disobedience), and increases HP by 2 for 1 Marco Encounter. 

Leaves the users in a Drugged State for 1 Marco Encounter/until the dose wears off/an Full Heal is administered, has a 2D6 Chance to Badly Poison/Super Badly Poison the user (even if they are Steel/Poison type or have Immunity) without at least 3 Points in Medicine Specialty, 1D6 Chance for types that resist (And only resist, not Immune)  Poison, 4D6 to types weak to Poison, Water types, and Electric types (with [5s] being accepted as a Success too for all types of Pokemon), and reduces a target's Alertness/Insight to *1 TOTAL. 


More than one dose on a person/Pokémon in a given Cycle has a 4D6 Chance of them ODing on them without a + 6 in Medicine, with 2 Success or Snake Eyes being the requirement. 3 Doses outright kills/ODs a target without a roll and regardless of Medicine Specialty, but if its used a Nucmon/Highly Savage/Disobedient Pokemon they gain a Desperation Attack (Guaranteed Critical Hit) on the administer if they are not bellow 1/2 HP. 

Does not work on Boss Pokémon/Beings....or at least not until the Encounter is over and done with.

And Reiner definitely appreciates that support.  Funny how a Dragon Tamer gets along so well with Ice types, isn't it?

Of course, Lab #2 has its own share of nasty surprises...Reiner quietly looks things over for a minute or two before searching the place...

"...well, guess they shared at least a few of my sentiments."

The cold chill only slightly bothers him.  Ice Path was an unforgiving maze to get lost in for many reasons, and Blackthorn, being a mountain city, isn't exactly very warm either.  He can bear this for a short while, no problem.

Meager supplies on one of the men...and enough morphine to kill something outright on one of the women...and what looks to be the final words of that same woman on video...

Well then...

Reiner presses the play button.  Info from your friendly neighberhood suicidal scientist is probably good information in this case...
