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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

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]

He returns his pokemon to the safety of their balls and takes out a small hunting knife from his backpack.

''Blood, the elixir of life, of great importance to the living, much less to those unfortunate. A *lot* has happened today and I shall return. May these sacrifices be woth it.''

He places a cut on his left arm, large enough that it won't take too long but small enough to easily bandage later should it be needed.

''We shall begin''

The knife slides into your skin like silk through the wind - you hardly begin to feel it until a steady *drip drip drip* of your Life Blood flows into the hollow in the Dias. Thick, red blood that was glittering with Vitality and Health, almost giving off a ruby like sheen as it filled the space up. You lose 5 HP, and feel a bit tired....

Once it was filled you removed the knife from your arm, and almost immediately the cut began to seal up, the edges of the wound starting to seal together. I'll take about an hour for the Wound to vanish...

After a second the Blood from the Dias begins to drain away to somewhere, and one by one the Fa'Ce Gate Old Unown Ruins flicker to life, casting a elderitch pink glow. Once every single one was lit, a portal appear in the opening, a blue-black-sparkling abyss-path that would lead you safely out of this abandoned realm.

You took a deep breath, sent a quick prayer to your Patron, and then boldly stepped through....

TO BE CONTINUED IN THE GROUP MEET UP POST....
