[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Ah. That blacksmith was so small and sunken in his work that Kee spotted him pretty late, he feels he (Ran) must have been sitting here for much longer than he does. Eh... Nevermind, at least he didn't miss him at last. He gives Draven an hand gesture of 'He's there' and a nod towards Ran, the OMINOUS smile the catbat-vampire displays as a response directly speaks 'Showtime has come at last. *lots of held-back snickering that doesn't let anything good suggest*'

Kee stays where he is while Draven walks off, using every shadow and corner he comes across to his benefit to make sure that Ran nor his Pokemon spot him too early - once he is within reach of the table, he leaps directly only it with a heartfelt jump, landing in front of Randolph: He hisses at him just because. :> (This does not count as areal Ambush, the intention is not to scare Ran.)

But, he's not there to fight or mess with him, which he expresses by shaking his furry head towards any defending reactions. Instead, he displays a smug smile, adjusts his monocle and put one paw into his cloaked wings, taking allllllll the time he wants before pulling out the Megastone for Abomasnow from it. Presenting it to Ran with a 'Look what I've got here!!~'-expression and stance and proceeds to hand it - only to pull away the very moment Randolph makes the SMALLEST motion in his direction, gving him a smile SO FULL of malicious joy that you'd hear him cackling even if he doesn't right now.

Draven does not pack the Megastone away but instead halfly dips it into the cup of cocoa that's at the table (that I just assume there is because Randopllph was displayed to enjoy one while he works on stuff at least once before) and licks the stone. Then he throws glances between the cup and Ran to make his message as clear as day moonlit night: Get him a cup of that chocolatey stuff and you'll get this stone.

(You know, I don't mind Draven sneaking up on Ran this time, so that'll auto succeed, but let me do an Alertness Roll to see how quickly they catch onto the presence once the get right up into his grill!)

Alert Roll (Ran & Beethoven [Using Ran's Dice Pool]) !
Insight (4) + Survival (2) + Alert (2) - Music (1) - Busy (1) = 6D6 Dice
(2)(2)(3)(1)(2)(1) .....Welp!

The venomous feline debut and little show with the Abomanite......completely fails to catch either Ran's OR Beethoven's in any way, as the buddy duo were super absorbed in their own activities by/at that point that the outside world might as well been a dream, for all that it mattered to the two. Not even waving the Mega Stone in front of the midget man's face registers on his personal radar. Talk about Laser Focus!

His cup of cocoa (yes, it's there) is completely unguarded, though, so Draven could do who knows what with it unmolested.
