[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

At first they didn't speak, awaiting the...Audino to speak its word to them, giving them a piercing, searching look all the while. Upon doing so and offering the Oran, they cocked their head at the healer for a second, before careful plucking it out of their hand and daintily ate it, restoring them to Full HP. Once done, they went right back to staring at Audino for several second longer, until they finally deigned to speak.

"You may treat my injuries further now, healer. While you do so, may you tell me where I am, and how I happened to get.....here?"

Their voice was.....high pitched, but not unpleasantly so. Sorta like chimes, if more layered and nuanced. Their tone was a bit haughty, but cordial and very polite at the same time.

Audino nods and starts talking while examining the little bird with the feelers on his ears.

"You're currently in the Adventurer's Guild in Sahra Town, on the Sand Continent.  Some of the local kids found you passed out on the beach this morning and told the sheriff.  He carried you here and asked for me to examine you."

Audino curls his feelers back up and takes a step backwards from the bed.  "It doesn't seem like you're majorly injured.  Looks like you're just a bit bruised and have a few singed feathers.  Now it's time for me to ask you some questions.  Do you remember what happened before you woke up, what caused those injuries?  I'll need to write that down in my report."

As for the items that the Night Wardens had picked up during the week:
- 2 Tiny Reviver Seeds
- 2 Random Berries
- 1 Random TM
Just gonna let Dragon roll for the berries and the TM

Spoiler

Daxter also felt himself getting stronger in other ways during the week. He was finally able to get some regular contact with water thanks to the pool that Machamp had built into the base so that meant that he also had a very comfortable area to sleep. Daxter uses 20 exp to increase his Health from 2 to 3. He also finally gets used to his new body, and starts forming his facial expressions a little better which helps him get his point across more easily. Daxter uses 12 exp to increase his Contest by 1 and Intimidate by 1.

The $3500 that the team isn't as much as Daxter hoped they were making, but this was in part of Karen's shopaholic tendencies (taking a few liberties with this one since Dragon mentioned that Karen is a shopaholic over dms) so Daxter began restricting her access to the team's money.

"Sorry, love. We can't have two bad spenders in the team. I think a chap like me being in charge of the money is bad enough. Both of us together? That'd leave us with nothing!"

Karen will only have access to $1000 of the money that the team made over the week. "Don't worry, I know you'll probably burn through that lot fast enough. You'll get more as we earn more."

On the morning of the twelfth day, Daxter gets out of the pool and streches, shaking the water off. Out of the comfort of the water and into the heat of the desert, then. He walks to the places that Rolycoly, Snom and Rowlet are sleeping and shakes them awake gently.

"Oi! Wake up! Come on! Long day ahead. You three doing alright? Liking the place? This place isn't too hot for you, is it, Snom? You three can get going. Get some food in Kangaskhan's place and I'll meet up with you there after I grab the jobs for today. You know the schedule. I take two of you with me and the other does some training with Karen and Poliwrath. Go on. Get some breakfast in you."

Daxter then turns to Karen (wherever she may have taken residence in the base). "Hey, love. I'm heading to the guild to get some jobs for us. You coming with, or you gonna get some breakfast instead?"

Team Night Wardens's Supplies Purchases:

*rolls*

Berries and Seeds (pick two):
- Pecha Berry
- Sitrus Berry
- Lum Berry
- X-Eye Seed (inflicts the cross-eyed status on the consumer) 

TM (pick one):
- Draining Kiss
- Rock Smash
- Steel Wing

Karen pouts somewhat when told she's getting a smaller share of the money due to her shopping habits.  "Oh come on!  You can never have too many Tiny Reviver Seeds!  And we needed all that supplies I bought the other day to get through that last Mystery Dungeon, didn't we?  And we've recruited a pokemon that's able use that TM I bought now, right?  Can't I have a little more than this?  Just a little?  No?  Okay..."

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

(Snom and Rowlet have been added to the recruit list)

Snom does not seem to be enjoying the heat at all.  She's complaining very loudly about it.  "Ugh, why does it have to be so hot here?  I can barely keep my snowcones frozen when we're inside...I appreciate the opportunity to join your team and all, but I really hope we can visit someplace a lot cooler than here.  Preferably frequently.  *sigh*...I miss the Snowy Cave Depths..."

Rowlet is a lot more composed.  He's a bird of few words.  "Ready for my assignment."

Rolycoly just nods without saying anything while looking around a somewhat nervously.  He's still adjusting to his new routine and life.

Karen mulls over Daxter's question for a bit.  Her room in the base is decorated with various knick knacks she's picked up from shops around Sahra Town.  "I'll go get some breakfast with the recruits, so I'll catch up with you later, Daxter."

Alrighty, we have everything we want for Team OS from the Keks (TM, Scarf/Glasses, and Wonder Orb)...

Team Omega Seekers's Supplies Purchases:

TM (Pick one):
- Rock Tomb
- Infestation
- Sand Tomb

Scarf/Glasses (Pick one):
- Rawst Scarf (prevents the holder from getting Burned)
- Tight Belt (the holder doesn't get hungry as quickly as they normally would)

- Fickle Specs (increases critical hit rate when using a different action order than the previous Round)


Wonder Orb (Pick one):
- Emera-Up Orb (increases the number of notches in a Looplet by 1 until the current dungeon is left.  Looplets can have a maximum of 8 notches)
- Stairs Orb (reveals the location of the stairs to the next floor)
- Trapbust Orb (if there's an untriggered Trap in the room, using the Orb safely disarms it guaranteed)

Regardless of her answer, Daxter pushes on towards the guild. The commotion isn't anything like he's expecting, however. He stares at the crowd in confusion. He pushes his way through the crowd, squeezing by with his amphibious body and manages to reach the front door. "Uh, sherrif? What the bloody hell is going on here, mate? There a celebrity in town?"

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

That crowd and Sheriff Flygon up there at Delphox's Guild abruptly stop the furry crittercoon's train of though however, causing him to huff a little at the unexpected obstacle. But small and agile Kee is, he starts to make his way through the crowd and straightly towards Sheriff Flygon, *coughing* to catch their attention when he's as closest at the guild's door as he can be. "Good mornin' there, sheriff!~", Kee salutes, "May I enter the Guild I'm member of to pick up some neat jobs to complete t'day please, or is there good reason for it bein' off-grounds this mornin'...?~"

Flygon looks away from the crowd for a second and down at the pokemon addressing him directly.  "Ah, Omega Seekers and Night Wardens.  Good timing.  The Guildmaster has called an urgent meeting.  All teams that are members of the Guild need to send at least one representative to attend.  That, and the fact that the local kids found an unconscious pokemon on the beach this morning that nobody can identify seems to have gotten the whole town in a bit of a stir.  You should go in. We're just waiting on..."

Flygon's interrupted by the sound of one of the townsfolk in the crowd yelping in surprise.

"Hey, watch where you're going!"

"Oops, sorry!  Didn't see you there!"

*B U M P*

Another pokemon cries out, but they sound a bit angrier.  It's clearly one of Machamp's Machop workers.

"Hey, watch it!  Or are you trying to do this on purpose?!"

"Whoops, sorry again!  I'm just trying to find the local guild!  It is this way, right?"

"...*sigh*, what is it now?  Move aside, everyone, move aside.  NO.  FIGHTING."

The crowd parts to let a pokemon through to the front of the guild at Flygon's command, though some of the townsfolk seem to grumble about it.  Flygon peers into the crowd to see who is causing all the ruckus.  "And you are?  You're not here to cause trouble, are you?"

The pokemon is tall, yellow with black stripes on his neck and ears, he has a tail with a red orb on the end, and he's wearing a badge (though it's a different shape to the Adventurer Badges).  He walks forward and waves hello.

"Oh, goodness, no.  I'm here for the emergency meeting.  You may already know me as..."

He strikes a pose!




"The Dashing Wanderer!"

The Dashing Wanderer!: Wandering Ampharos - Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

Flygon just gives the Ampharos a skeptical look.  "Uh huh.  And how do I know you're here for the meeting and not just bumping into everyone you see?  Or rather, don't see."

"Oh, do I really have to spell it out for you?  Fine, fine."  He points to his badge.  "I believe my second in command is already here.  She should be wearing the same badge as me.  Steel type pokemon.  I assume she probably told you I was coming?"

"Well, now that you mention it...yes, there is someone here who fits that description.  Though all she told me about her superior was that I would 'know him when I see him.'  *sigh*...alright, you can go in.  Omega Seekers and Night Wardens, you should head inside too.  Make sure this Ampharos gets to where he needs to go."

Ampharos looks down at the small pokemon nearby.  "Oh!  I didn't see you there!  Silly me!  Are you members of the Guild here?  This is the Adventurer's Guild, right?"

Flygon facepalms.
