[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Platina's eyes too sparkle as she eyes the veritable hoard of Poke behind the icy wall, but her expression immediately plumments into grouchiness as it starts to Hail, ugh.

"Tsk.....just like I said what would happen - Fate has deemed it fit to challenge us as Emolga challenge it. *Sighs* Normally, I wouldn't be unopposed to trying to carve through the Ice with my Steel Wings, but this blasted Hail will make that a ordeal for us all. Not to mention leaving us more vulnerable to the Wild Pokemon that lurk here - I imagine the ones nearby will also begin to investigate if we start making a racket breaking down that wall."

*Shakes head*

"No, we'll have to find a way around and to the Poke. *Points to the Right* Let us go forward that way carefully, and see if we can't get scout out our enemies there before we decide what to do with them..."

Orders: Platina will lead the group to the Room to the Right next to the one they're in (The one with the Pokemon in it) slowly and carefully, as she doesn't want to be stuck anywhere too long with Hail raining down nor put her party members at too much risk trying to bash their way through the Ice Wall and attracting attention while they're weakened from the Hail. Not great, but hardly the worst starts we could've had through a MD!

To the east Team OS and company go!  Walls of ice guide them as their careful footprints follow the winding path through the snow.

   

Since Platina has instructed everyone to move carefully, it's group Stealth check time!  If at least half of the group can pass a Stealth check, you can either ambush or sneak past the wild pokemon on this tile!  Pretty good trade off for moving more slowly if you can pull it off, right?  (As an aside, if this had been an Ambush like what just happened with Daxter's group, then it would have been an Alert check against the enemies' Stealth instead, and passing would prevent you from being Ambushed).

Wild Pokemon Alert:
(5)(3)(3)(2)(4)(1) 2 Successes

Platina's Stealth:
(6)(5)(1)(5)(5) 4 Successes (Pass!)

Kogeki's Stealth:
(6)(3)(1)(4) 2 Successes

Kee's Stealth:
(6)(4)(2)(3) 2 Successes

Keldeo's Stealth:
4 Dex + 2 Survival + 0 Stealth
(5)(4)(2)(6)(3)(1) 3 Successes (Pass!)

Emolga's Stealth:
3 Dex + 2 Survival + 0 Stealth
(5)(4)(1)(6)(2) 3 Successes (Pass!)

3/5 members passed (Success!)

As the group rounds the corner, they run into a group of wild pokemon, as Platina was expecting!  A Cubchoo, a Trubbish, a Mienfoo, and a Chandelure are all milling around the corridor of ice.  Thankfully, they don't seem to have noticed the party yet.

Emolga whispers.  "So, what's the plan?  Are we attacking them?"

"We could sneak past too.  But we might have to deal with them on the way back if we need to turn around."
