[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

In that case, while we're waiting on what Daxter is doing (No One assures me he's been working on his post slowly but surely), here's what happens with Platina and Kogeki's approach.

Platina's Allure
(6)(5)(1)(3)(5)(3)(4)(5)(4)(1) 5 successes

Kogeki's Stealth
(3)(2)(5)(6) 2 successes

???'s Alert
3 Insight + 3 Survival + 0 Alert - 2 Distraction! = 4d6
(5)(6)(3)(1) 2 successes

Sandshrew and Hippopotas seem to be taken a bit aback by Platina's entrance, as both of them turn to look at her immediately.  Neither of them notice Kogeki sneaking up on them.

The small, blue pokemon that's swimming in the ocean does notice Kogeki however.  They don't seem to be quite as phazed by Platina's stunning display, either (not that Platina was trying to wow them in particular).

"Oh?  Well, I wasn't expecting even more company to show up!  Hello there!"

"Wait, isn't that the bird we found on the beach this morning, Hippopotas?"

Immediately, Platina and Kogeki notice something weird, because it's not Sandshrew that says that, but...Hippopotas?

"It is!  Are you doing okay?  Sandshrew and I were so worried you'd been seriously hurt or something!"

And that's Sandshrew speaking?  What's going on here?

The swimming blue pokemon doesn't seem to pay that any mind, and throws in their own two Poké into the conversation.

"Oh, so you know this pokemon?  Well, it's nice to meet you!  What brings you and your friend over there to my little corner of the beach?"

(Uh, quick question, but why would Platina think their voices are weird, since she never heard the two before? I'm fine with rolling with it, though, since it's not a big deal)

Platina, upon getting her rescuers and their onlooker's attention, gives a sweeping bow with one wing placed on her chest, giving everyone her best and most charming smile.

"Greetings! My name is Platina, and it is my utmost pleasure to meet you two, my heroes!"

Their voices seemed off to the metallic avian in a way she can't quite describe, but she tries to not let that bother her too much as she titters at their concern, covering her mouth with her wing as she does so.

"Quite so, no thanks in small part to you two. You were a Heaven sent for me, and I can't thank you enough for aiding me in my time of need!"

The somewhat mysterious Pokémon question doesn't even distract the Shiny Bird; in fact, she use it as a transition in a masterful display of Etiquette!

"Why this, of course!"

A quick flourish of her wing to her bag, and in the next moment two $100 Poke piles were place in front of both the Sandshrew and Hippopotas!

"A small token of my gratitude, for coming to me in my time of need! I wish I could afford to give you more, but at the moment I hardly have the wealth to be more appropriately generous. If you need anything, however, don't hesitate to ask for my assistance! I am in your debt, and I always repay Pokémon exactly what they deserve!"

At this point Platina turned to look at the blue Pokémon floating in the seas, cocking her head them inquisitively as she tried and failed to determine which one they were.

"Greeting to you too, denizen of the seas. Sorry for interrupting your.....play time with these two? *Shakes head* Hmm....well, sorry for interrupting you period, but I had to properly thank them for the aid they gave me. Help to save someone in need deserves great respect and tribute, no?"
