(Derp. Completely forgot about Keen Eye's effect. Really goes to show how out of practice I am, doesn't it?)
Recruitment Attempts:
Platina's Tough Allure (Spending 1 Will to ignore Pain):
2 Tough + 2 Contest + 2 Allure + 3 Instinct (Using Tough) = 9d6
(6)(2)(2)(2)(2)(5)(5)(1)(5) 4 Successes
Petilil's Will:
5 Will
(5)(5)(2)(1)(1) 1 Success
Daxter's Cool Etiquette:
3 Cool + 2 Contest + 0 Etiquette = 5d6
(4)(4)(2)(4)(3) 3 Successes
Crustle's Will:
6 Will + 1 Success (Evolved)
(5)(1)(4)(5)(5)(3)(6*) 5 Successes
Platina has little trouble with persuading the small Petilil to join Team OS. They seem to be rather awestruck by how commanding the bird seems to be despite being almost as beat up as they are. Petilil was recruited to Team Omega Seekers!
By contrast, Daxter finds it's actually quite hard to convince an evolved pokemon to join a team primarily with words. The Crustle weakly swipes at Daxter with a claw, missing but delivering a message all the same: it doesn't really care for the compliments and grand goals.
There isn't really any time to attempt another recruitment, so it's on to grabbing the items!
-----------------------------------
Kogeki and Daxter attempt to grab 3 items each! Every time an item is grabbed without triggering a trap, the odds of triggering a trap go up. Every time a trap is triggered though, the odds reset and the chance of triggering another trap decreases (there's only so many traps in the room, after all). By splitting the work and grabbing items simultaneously, everyone has the same odds of triggering traps, but can gather the items more quickly.
Kogeki's Foresight:
(5)(5)(2)(4) 3 Successes!
First item for each team is free! There's at least one item within arm's reach of both teams, so there's little risk for grabbing them. Getting greedy and wanting more than one item per team is where the fun begins though...
Second item: normal trap triggering odds for Daxter (4 or less), but Kogeki can avoid triggering one trap by using his tracking abilities to carefully spot an area that the wild pokemon have been specifically avoiding. They seem to instinctively know where the traps are even though they can't see them...
(-) Kogeki's Foresight lets him dodge one trap!
(1) Daxter triggers a trap and takes 1 damage!
Third item: a trap has been triggered, so the odds of triggering another one have gone down. It is now 3 or less to trigger.
(5) Kogeki does not trigger a trap
(3) Daxter triggers another trap and takes 1 damage!
Daxter is battered by sudden bursts of prickly, barbed seeds no matter where he tries to stand. It's in rather stark contrast to Kogeki expertly dodging every single trap in the room.
----------------------------------
This just isn't Daxter's day apparently, but he did at least manage to grab some items. After Kogeki and Daxter redistribute the items among their teams' bags, Roserade and Rhyperior urge everyone onwards. Whenever the large group of pokemon run into a smaller group of wild pokemon, Roserade and Rhyperior are quick to dispatch them, allowing the group to keep moving until they reach the depths of the Island of Storms.
As the treeline begins to thicken, the group finally reaches a Kangaskhan Statue, signaling a transition in the structure of the Mystery Dungeon and a chance to rest for a moment. Rhyperior and Roserade visibly relax now that there's no chance of being ambushed by a large group of wild pokemon.
"Well, that was a little too harrowing for my liking. Normally fighting wild pokemon of that level wouldn't be an issue for us."
Rhyperior's response is gruff. "Harumph. That's monster houses for ya. Though this one did seem to have larger than normal. We're lucky these strangers came along."
"Oh, right, we haven't had a proper introduction yet have we? I'm Roserade, and this is Rhyperior. We're members of the Master Rank Expedition Team known as Team Raiders, treasure hunters extraordinaire. And you all are...?"
"Dedenne and Bunnelby of the Expedition Society, at your service!"
"Emolga and Keldeo of Emolga's En...I mean, Paradise!"
"Madame Twintales, loyal disciple of Master Kyurem."
Roserade gives the Ninetales a curious look, though the next introductions pique her curiosity even more.
"Zeraora, retainer of Lord Raikou."
"Hoopa!"
"Just Hoopa?"
"Just Hoopa!~ That's all you need to know!~"
"Hmmmmmm...and how about the rest of you?"
"I'm Braixen. Daughter of the Adventurers' Guild's Guildmaster Delphox. These are Teams Omega Seekers and Night Wardens from that same guild. They were sent on a mission to locate you after you'd failed to report back when expected." (you may do individual introductions if desired)
"Yes, we have run into some...complications recently. This Mystery Dungeon is more confounding than the average one. We're not even entirely sure how we got here, let alone how to leave. Escape Orbs are doing nothing. That does raise the question of how you all got here though. And how such a motley mix of pokemon ended up banding together, I might add."
Braixen tries to change the topic. "...well, we're here now. We've found you. But isn't there supposed to be a third member of your team? A Gallade, right?"
"Gallade went ahead on a scouting mission. With his psychic powers, we were hoping that maybe he could figure out a way to get out of here."
"...and yet we haven't seen nor heard from him since he went ahead. I was hoping he would be here, at the halfway point, but as he is nowhere to be seen, I have a bad feeling about this...we need to find him, and quickly. I'm beginning to worry that he's run into trouble deeper in the Mystery Dungeon..."
Being surrounded by so many friendly faces during this rest is a little invigorating. Everyone is fully healed and regains 1 Will point during this rest period. You may take some time to converse with your allies before proceeding deeper into the dungeon.
