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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

He stands frozen in shock for a second before springing back into action. Capturing or leaving her to die would just be straight up cruel so he decides to... end her misery before jumping ship.

''Return Nalu, good job out there. Now finish her off Kayla!'' This wouldn't be pretty but it's preferrable to burning to death some more.

''Kayla..'' he sighs, his voice full of pity, ''Use Heavy Slam.'' (1 dex + 3 fight + 3 brawl +2 action = 9d6) Note: 1+1 more damage dice for every 50kg over the opponent (sadly a cap of 4), mudsdale weighs 920 kg.

Now to get out of here. Using Kayla's help to stomp out a fire free path to the totem he drags what remains of the once so dazzling Florges there. An offering is an offering, it was time to go.

I'm not going to Roll for this - Florges is in far too much excruciating agony, Confused, and deeply disturbed to coherently make a plan of Action besides 'aimless Flailing about' , so Kayla does as commanded with a rare grim seriousness: one moment the Lady Fae is screeching her heart out and trying to desperately end the PAIN SOMEHOW, WHY HAVE YOU FORESAKEN ME, WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE ABANDOMENT, WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY AND LEAVE US, WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -

...the next she's crushed underneath the cold Steel might of your trusty work horse. Her voice is cut off with a low key crinkling yet goopy sound *crunch* that you could barely pick up over the Fire raging throughout the Field, and one solitary and UnBurnt arm is outstretched to the very Heavens themselves, as if beseeching them for mercy, any mercy of salvation....

...Before it falls, limp.

Totem Florge is Dead.

Nalu gains 20 XP; Kayla gains 5 XP; PC gains 20 XP

Kayla quickly (for her) plods off of the remains of a ancient and diminished Totem, long abandoned by its Leader God, leaving it for you to collect and Give to your Patron.

How you do so is up to you, but when it's Offer to the Bowl....the corspe dissolves into particles and is drained into it, staining it a sooty pink for a mere moment before it clears.

For a long time, nothing.

Then -

*PLEASED, MOST PLEASED*
*EXCELLENT PRICE, GREATLY SUFFICIENT*
*BOON GIVEN, BOON EARNT*

....And out comes a Rare Candy -> 1/2 XP Cost of Next Attribute, Skill, AND Specialty Purchase [Do not have to buy all at once] to Target that eats it, and a Smoldering Sappy Miracle Seed -> Fire Moves have + 2 Accuracy, Grass Attacks have a 2D6 Chance to Burn 2 a Target, Water Moves deals + 2 Damage Dice against Ice and Steel Types, and Moves with Burn by default gain + 1 Damage

...Demanding, whimsical, and capricious The Old Ones can be, you can't say they don't give Fair Reward if they feel it is due. Whether or not its worth on a personal level, however....

Your Patron chimes in soon again, not giving you much time to dwell on things.

*EXCHANGE CONCLUDED, WELL AND DONE*
*DEPART FOR THIS REALM, MEET WITH BRAVE SOULS*
*GIVE OFFERING OF LIFE-BLOOD OR FORTUNE-BOON TO KEY-STONE*

And with that the Bowl goes still once more, leaving you alone with your Mons in a still Burning Field. 

Guess it's about time to leave, unless you have something else that needs be done. If not, you head to the Dias, and have to make a choice: Give Blood (Lots), or Give an Item (Valuable)? Life, or Prosperity? Choose.[/b][/i]
