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

[Lord Windos]

Seddi will look over at Oz from where he's sitting, looking a bit concerned now that he has a moment to take in the states everyone else are in.  "You doin' alright there, Oz?  You look more terrified than Sand Crawler."

If Oz needs a bit of comforting, Seddi has a pokemon that can help out a little too: a BIG FRIENDLY DRAGON!!

"Goodra, ya mind helpin' with makin' sure the lady in black over there is alright?  I think we all need a breather after that run in with the most whimsical of Fairies.  Don't worry about me for now.  I've got Leaves and Ceruledge, so I should be fine after a moment."

Even a bit battered and bruised (metaphorically in this case), Seddi is still finding some Strength to help others.

While that scene has more or less resolved, I would like to note some very important details about Seddi's Goodraa:

- They're extremely gregarious and friendly, and keenly Alert to others feelings - they'd rush right over to give Oz a caring embrace at the word 'Go!' ....that also doesn't slime her up because the BIG FRIEND has excellent control over their Abilities!
- They're extremely powerful, an Aura of Draconic Might a almost visible halo that rivals the friendly energy they give off, and every gets the very real sense that this was one Pseudo you did not want to make an enemy with. Heck, they make Iron Leaves feel moderate by comparision!
- They're extremely upset behind their friendly and supporting smile, though only Seddi and maybe Ianai would be able to tell - they were very much aware of what went down and are seething at how impotent they were rendered due to Morgana's interference and just being about the worst match up for them as possible. After they were done comforting Oz they'd do their best to soothe Sand Crawler's own feelings and give Ceruledge an aadmonishing glare, making the former feel a bit better and the later bow their head in charinge (disappointing Goodra feels terrible...) . If allowed they'd also offer Seddi a hug, and to hoist him on their shoulder and carry them around to the Embassy (Strong and Comfortable Mount, they can be!). 

After planning out the rest of his day (a visit at the [] Sutalor Department Building Mega Store seemed like a good start for general purpose supplies) and fishing the shy drake out of his satchel he got ready to leave, Lani now at his side to explore the city at her own pace for the first time since they arrived.

Before leaving he'd notice Oz' situation and offer help by sending out Nalu. The jolly critter help with cheering up though a goodra is already very effective on that front.

In regards to the Department Store, you can buy anything listed in your Inventory's Cost page, and afterwards you have just enough time to go searching the huge store for all sorts of other goodies and unique Sutalorian DS Items! Just say what kind of thing you are looking for in general (or see what is basically offered from the Encounter/Store based on the description, like TMs) , and I'll Roll to see how close or how good of a place you can shop at!

Lani isn't shy - she was doing as Sand Crawler did and not drawing the attention of the Almighty Fairy onto her, unlike her IDIOT of a Trainer! Haven't you learnt not to do that by now, jeeze! Still, they seemed relatively unfazed from Morgana's debut - which, for a Dragon/Fighting Type is rather comendable!

Nalu does their level best to get Oz to cheer up by bouncing up and down her like a bouncy castle and tickling her with his spikes. Not the most conventional way of comforting someone, but the Jolly effort counts for a lot!

Wow, Seddi has a silver tongue.

Vernon takes note of the direction Morgana told him, but he does not go that way. That sounds like TOO much excitement.
(He's fine if someone else wanted to investigate that instead).

Since most people he followed were heading toward town, Vernon winds up there too and decides to visit the Gear store to price a camera with a long lens. Then he goes to the Survival center.

As you resolutely walk away from where Morgana pointed you get the sudden feeling that you'll run into what she was hinting at, one day. Not this one, though - you had enough of all this danger and drama, thank you!

Eventually after a bit of wandering, you end up finding a quant little camera and photography shop run by a girl named Janice, dressed in a goth but comfortably frump style that was lazily filing her nails until you came. Upon asking for some assistence she perks up, and shows you her stock, of which is most important to you (potentially) as follows:

- Camera w/ Telescope Lens - $750 , but she tries to sell you on a Deluxe Package that include a 1 Year Warrenty, Portable Photo Printer, all sorts of equipment and lighting to make more profesional photos, and a 1 Year Membership to an Online Repository where you can download your photos as well as share them with others + download some for yourself, all for the low low price of $2000 Poke. 
- Flash Balls - Seal Strength 3, Blinds Target for one Round before Catch (Counts as a Status), $750 Poke each
- Photo Balls - Seal Strength 4, Can be re-used up to 1 Times on Failed Capture, Takes a Picture of the Scene around the Pokemon on Successful Capture, $1000 Poke.
- Flash Powder - Used for more archiac style cameras, it can also be used to create a Flash like Effect for the duration of an Encounter, $1000 per Unit
- Normal (Crisper Focus), Water (Blue Filter), Green (Green Screen), Fairy (Sparkles) and Dark (Sepia) Gems - Can be used to enhance photography by inserting them into a Camera bought here, but they also act as One Use Held Items for the Pokemon that's holding them (Can be Trigger at the User's Discretion); ask Dragonstrike for more details! $3000 Poke per Gem

The place also has an photo computer lab for use for a fee of $300 Poke for the whole day, and woman also does phone repairs due to how often those tend to get broken and people coming into here to get their lenses fixed. She also has a Smeargle and Ditto + a green room to make more custom photos, though the price of that service varies.

Lastly, Janice is willing to have a Pokemon Battle, as she's bored and a Fight will both entertain her on this slow day and potentially draw customers in/make for some good photography. Easy to Moderate in Difficulty, Single Battle, 1-3 Pokemon Used, Standard League Rules apply.


I'll hold off on the Last thing until everyone else has done their Third Encounter.

Darren meanders his way to either the North or South beach (both are fine by me) to look for some of the more safer wild 'mons to fight/interact with.

(As stated in the Meta thread, he'll be taking a Wild life! encounter)

*Flips Coin* North Beach it is!

Wild Life Encounters by the Surf!

*Rolls*
*Mutiple Rolls...*

Shellos Squad
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Description: A small group of Western/Pink Shellos enjoying the sun and sand! How many get drawn into this Encounter depends on your approach.

Barbaracle
Difficulty: Moderate
Description: Currently practicing some of its Moves on a big sea boulder, chipping away at it with blow after blow

You could also attempt to catch one of the many Wingulls or other sea Birds flocking around here, and you can also try your luck at finding burred Pokemon if you want to Dig around for a bit (Easier and Better Chances if you actually have a Plan in Mind for this).

As for @Dragonstrike's Encounter : I'll get to it later due to some details that need to be hashed out, but you notice that Ianai has elected to join you for your trip. If asked, she plainly states 'I have nowhere else to go, and the city does not interest me. My path shall stay with you, for now.' Maybe you can get some conversation out of her to pass the time while you're trying to get to the Embassy?

For @Spiritmon : Yours will go into a seperate post, so stay tuned!
