[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Day 2

After that and a round of breakfast for himself/his Pokemon (+ a stern scolding for his troublemakers, bah!), the bristly blacksmith goes to the Nurse Joy and asks if she knows where he can find Neuro Sensors for sale in Snowpoint, or at least give him a location he can start looking for them. He got sidetracked in his hunt/search for parts to build Kogeki's Robo Prosthetic, but he won't let that happen again so easily!

Before leaving the Center, his current line up of Pokemon are Diam, Beethoven, Brigid, Stymph, and Mystery Mons 1 and 2 on his team. Brigid will have her Charcoal replaced with a Fire Gem, Stymph will get Zorn's Life Orb, Mystery Mon 1 (B) will get Puck's Leftovers, and Mystery Mon 2 (S) will get the Rocky Helmet. Everyone but Zorn will and maybe Brigid will keep the Abilities they had yesterday for today, with Zorn getting to try out Rough Skin today and Brigid switching to White Smoke if and only if Drought would not work inside Snowpoint Temple (If that be the case, I'd be severely disappointed that realism had reared its ugly head here, but I'll live with it).

Next, he heads back to the jewelry store, and picks up the Alman Bangle and Dragon Gem Bling her ordered if possible (Or checking up on it if not). He'll send Byron his gift ASAP, while he keeps Zorn's gift to himself for now. He'll wait until later to give it to the scaled terror, right when they're in the most receptive mood for gift giving (and not liable to snap at him irritably).

Finally, he'll head to Snowpoint Temple, and either wait for anyone that wanted to join him to get there already, or heading straight in if they tagged along with him for the whole time. Old Wolfe would walk straight up the guard and look him sternly/seriously in the eyes, and plainly, concisely, but not impolitely say thus:

"Name's Randolph Schimdt. Here to investigate Snowpoint Temple with my partners *Jerks a thumb back at them*. Got permission from Candice to do so. We cleared for entry?"

Nurse Joy is stern as usual, but she's at least polite as long as nobody's causing a scene in her Pokemon Center.

"Neuro Sensors?  Well, I can't say I've seen very many of them.  Robotic prosthetics are very new technology.  I believe the Creshire region is where most of them are produced at the moment.  That being said, I did have a shipment of them coming in later today...I had to import them, though, so I can't really sell them.  I don't know a whole lot about robotics myself, but some of my interns have been studying this new technology.  Provided you have the time to assist them, I could let you use some of the stock we ordered.  This is for your companion with the wooden arm, I take it?"

-----------------------------------------------------

The custom jewelry isn't finished yet.  They'll be done after the 1st encounter.

-----------------------------------------------------

The female Ace Trainer standing at the door doesn't stand in Randolph's way.  "Ah, so you're the guy that Candice mentioned yesterday in that writ.  Yeah, you're cleared for entry.  You going in by yourself, or are you waiting on anyone?  I need to keep track of who goes in and out before I can let anyone in."

Since you specifically said Abilities had to be decided before the first Encounter was started, but Ran is currently outside the Temple and therefore has not yet started his First Encounter, he'll also has them if Weather like Harsh Sunlight works inside the ancient place. If he says no or doesn't know, then Brigid's Ability will be White Smoke, as I rather have an Ability that I know will work all the time than gamble with one that won't.

The guard looks confused at this question.  "Does weather work in the Snowpoint Temple?  Uh...no, it normally doesn't.  Why are you asking?  Does this have something to do with the strange wind I've been hearing howling in the lower levels while standing guard here all day yesterday?"
