[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Randolph and Kogeki head to the port to look for parts and information that might be useful for upgrading the Tsukinami Lightwood arm.

Randolph's Alert: 3 Ins + 2 Survival + 2 Alert
(3)(4)(4)(2)(3)(4)(5) 4 Succeses.  Pretty good.

Kogeki's Alert: 2 Ins + 3 Survival + 3 Alert
(5)(2)(5)(2)(6)(1)(2)(2) 3 Successes.  Fairly decent.

Randolph sees them first, but because both Kogeki and Randolph both passed with 3+ successes, I'll throw in a bonus foreign NPC that they'll have the option of talking to.  Interacting with them specifically will not take an encounter.

(Question: Do I have to interact with Randolph's NPCS before I can move onto to Bonus NPC? Just in case that's the case.....)

Randolph

Re: ???
Randolph and Kogeki spot someone wearing what appears to be a metal gauntlet(?) on one hand.  How strange...

Feel free to both talk to the bonus NPC (both characters may do so) and interact with one of the random trainers underneath your character's name.  Trainers at the port are amiable to both battles and trades.

The bristly blacksmith is scowling as he marches through Snowpoint with Kogeki, the Diamond Dust floating downward from the heavens now doing very little to distract him from how bleeding cold it was. 

'Bah, why couldn't Old Fashion sent us to investigate Mt. Coronet from Eternia, Celeste, or Veilstone? Those places don't have a climate perfect for making and preserving corpses, and getting into the mountain wouldn't require days long hikes through a deep freezing tundra! *Grumble grumble* ..... '

Eventually, he and his partner made it to the port, where it was marginally warmer due to the nearby ocean holding as much thermal energy as possible (Small comforts to Ran, though), and start investigating/asking around for where they could find the parts/equipment necessary to make a modernized prosthetic. He steer right clear of the Unova Battle Girl with a look of disapproving disbelief, as not only did they not look like the most tech/mechanically savvy , but he was not about to strike up a conversation with someone so foolish as to fight and train barefooted and with minimal environmental protections in this frosty hell.

'Hope that utterly daft and thick headed lass gets frostbite, as that'll teach her some damn sense and to dress properly!'

Instead, he approaches the Kalos Tourist with a neutral/slightly irritated expression, and politely asks if they know about/where to get The Parts, and makes it rather clear he ain't interested in a trade or battle. He's heard that the Kalosians had some pretty advanced technology and a right banging medical system, so perhaps on of its citizens could start him on the right path to tuning up the cyborg ninja's arm....

If Ran isn't required to interact with his own NPCs at all, though (Or it wouldn't take too much time doing so), he would immediately beeline to Guantlet Person once he spots their most notable feature, and introduces himself as such:

"Hey, metal man/woman. Name's Randolph. Saw that arm of yours, and was wondering if you knew anything about mechanized prosthetics? Looking to make one for a friend of mine, and I got the Skill to do the job, but don't know where to start and I rather not waste time taking stabs in the dark or with aimless experimenting. Well?"[/i]
