[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Taking an artifact from a place that might as well be a domain of the old ones wouldn't be very wise, people have perished for doing less to upset them.

While waiting for the next sudden change of scenery he *investigates* the Arch, the unusual colour catching his eye. Does the Dratini artifact have something to do with this perhaps? The pink makes a thought appear, and it's not a nice one. What if this isn't her domain, but one of her far crueler sister? 

Either way he has to leave, the constant *warping* is distracting him from his actual goal, making it back to civilization and finding those souls is the priority. 

He takes out the bowl again, leaving Nalu to play in the flowers. He'd rather ask for some guidance then tire himself and his partners out trying to force an exit that might not even exist. Surely *she* would know if this place had anything to do with her siblings.

As you draw you hand away from the Statue's Head, you feel a *Pop!* in your Hand - looking, you find the Statue's Circular Head Stone fit snuggly in it. Looking back, you could already see it 'grow' another in its place. A feeling of 'satisfaction' and 'permission' wells up from within as you stare at the CHS and then the Statue - you get the feeling you have permission to take this piece of it away. 

CHS Got! Acts as either a Mystic Water OR Dragon Fang for your Pokemon, and will Restore 1 Maximum HP (or 10% with a Bulky Mon) after every Battle, or 2 / 20% after the End of the Day if you did not Battle at all.

Getting a closer look at the Arch and all the pink dust around, utilizing what you know about Another of the Old Ones...

*Rolls* + 1 Success 

You recognize the dust - it is, in fact, exactly what you feared. You're in a Secret Garden/Realm of the Laughing-Cruel Old One. On the bright side, it seems this one has been long abandoned, going by the sheer wear and tear on the Fa'Ce Gate (The Way Mortal enter and leave these realms...if allowed) and the fact you don't feel any of Her Power or Presence here, not even the fainted lingering grace. Strange...but most Fortunate indeeed!

Taking out the Bowl and asking your patron to assist, helpfully giving some intel on this place to better intice Her Interest...

*Rolls*

*YOU ARE WITIN SISTER'S LOST REALM?*
*SEEK THE KEY AND STONE*
**OFFER BLOOD-LIFE OR FORTUNE-BOON TO RETURN TO MORTAL'S WORLD**
**Bring a Citizen Here and Give to Me First**

Huh. Rather straightforwardly helpful of Her, but at the same time you got to pay a 'Fee' for it - looks like you got to Catch one of the Pokemon here and 'give' it to Her as Offering. How are you going about find a Wild Mon? Let Nalu stumble upon one in their merriment, or go about the search in a more coordinated fashion?
