[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

It's Insight -2, 1 success needed, so Terra didn't even have a chance. Even the strongest will could possibly be subsumed by Keenglaive's commands (or maybe they'd spend a Will point).

Black Keenglaive is pretty uninterested in you or your thoughts. He just assumed you would obey.



"I don't need you to do me a favor. Just be safe in the future. You did rouse these three Mightyena from their rest, though, so perhaps you'd like to take them on a walk to repay them for saving you?" (That would take an Encounter and will be a training session for them).

(Welp, I don't mind the outcome regardless, but at least it gives me more incentive to make Terra's Insight less of a dump stat. I'd think Keenglaive would be at least a little interested in Mr. Steel Man/perhaps detect Deoxys mark on them, but hey, nobles can overlook the darnest things.)

Terra gives Howl gives a swift nod to his offer, his expression already firming back up with resolve and determination to repay the Gym Leader for his recklessness and redeem himself in their eyes.

"Can do that, Darkness Master. Will do good job of it, too. Make sure they get good exercise and.....stimulation. Own a doggie myself, so not inexperience in handling them. "

*Hesitant Beat*

"....Wish to talk with you later today. Heard you are a Breeder (If I am wrong, correct me!), and I am looking for a specific Dark type of good pedigree: a Zoura. Will have prepared list of qualities of what I am looking for in one when I come back.....if you agree, sir."

His tone is somewhat meek as he finishes speaking, as asking to do business with a man you recently pissed off was not a great idea (to be blunt), but hey, better to try and fail than not try at all.

Orders: Take Howl's Mightyena's for a nice brisk jog around town, followed by some playful wrestling with them if they are up for that! He'll also be sure to offer them plenty of marshmallows and other treats that don't have chocolate in them too, as added thanks for saving his bacon!

Speaking of chocolate and treats, have a couple of other things that Terra needs done before he meets up with Howl (Well, if they agree, anyway): Going to the fanciest/most upscale liquor store in town and buy an expensive and refined bottle of liquor for the Gym Leader (Specifically asking the people for high quality and which spirits are Howl's favorite), and bake him a dark chocolate cake with double dark chocolate frosting as additional gifts for the meeting! Price limit on alcohol is $5000 Poke, so go wild with ideas if you want, Iron! Terra will also have a list with him, listing off things he's looking for in a Zoura, which is thus:

- Young and impressionable, but is willing to listen to command/open to odd opinions (At least 1-2 Loyalty, and has an Empathy Surprise/bonus of some sort).
- Intelligent, creative, and having flexible thinking (+ 1 Insight)
- Moderately Trained (Not a hard requirement, but having a fox with some experience would be nice)
- Adaptable, quick on their feet, and tenacious (DEX, Fight, and/or Survival Bonus)
- Has Extrasensory as an Egg Move
- Female!

Terra's willing to put up a lot for a good Zoura, so come up with a price you think is most fair for what I/he is asking for

That should be it! Time to go for a nice walk, before talking shop, or so I hope!
