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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Your colleague seems a bit surprised and intrigued by you receiving a portion of The Fairy Queen's favor. Extremely concerned too, but that should both be obvious and expected.

"....How serendipitous. Might I see it and take a few pictures to share with La Primera?"

If yes, she boggles at the Boa before a series of emotions play across her face, settling last on 'conflicted' and 'unease' .

"....I see your point, and so too will our Boss once I explain exactly what this is."

If not, she would simply shrug and leave the matter be. If it was something best kept secret she wouldn't push - anything dealing with that creature wearing the skin of a woman is best avoided regardless...

Sada nods with a thoughtful frown to what you had to say next.

"That would be for the best. It might limit the impact of our accomplishment and what 'clout' we get, but it would also better keep us off the radar of other Leagues, chiefly Neo Unova and our own. On that note, I recommend not telling HQs about us Hunting GWH, at least until after it is dealt with. I don't believe I need to elaborate on what La Primera or Poppy would think of this Mission.

Ianai looks taken aback at suddenly be included in the discussion and figits for a few seconds trying to think of anything she can add, before slowly nodding.

"....I do not Know much about Pho'Loosu-Itna. They do not make Home of my Tribe's Heartlands and Providing Grounds. They are rare too - most live out in the middle of the seas, away from Humanity, or rarely visits coastlines during Rainy Season. There are three things I can Illuminate you upon, however - they are of both the Sky and Spirit Worlds (Flying/Ghost), they are Huge and have the power to Summon the Worst and Most Terrible of Storms (BIG Pokemon, Weather Effect), and that their 'Gods' - ALL 'Gods' or Lord/Ladies ....they are capable of shining like the stars , Ascending into a Divine Form if pushed to Their End. "

The Tribal Shaman then looks down to the carpet, a flurry of expression contorting her face, none of them good, before grim resolve took center stage once more as she Looked at you.

"....I....Can also Offer you and everyone....Preparations. A Test. Something that will Temper Us, Ready Us For Umbyssa'Malfe Mors. *Grimaces* ....It will not be a Bright Experience. Not at All. Dangerous. Deadly. Dark. *Muster Will* But...much less that what we would face against the God Pho'Loosu-Itna. Much more....managable. Or so I Hope. If nothing else....it will Serve to Prove if you and the others are Ready to take on a Umbyassa'Malfe Mors."

Ianai...doesn't look very happy about what she's offering, but she is sincere in it, and does think it would legitimately help everyone out....if they can prove Tough enough to handle its Deadliness.

Seddi wouldn't have any qualms with showing Sada the blue boa now that they were past the overreaction stage of the revelation.

"If you know what this boa is made from, then you know exactly why it's unusual that she gave it to me."  Seddi sighs.  "Was far from a pleasant encounter, but at least nobody upset her as far as I could tell."

Seddi nods thoughtfully in response to Sada's own recommendation on withholding information.  Nothing for him to add there!  He already knows La Primera would be doing her best to stop him from fighting a Malefic Monstrum immediately.

Ianai's insights into Wandering Hurricane don't lessen Seddi's frown much.  "Part Ghost type, huh?  Well, that's going to make things significantly harder for me if I'm not using Goodra.  Might have to look into some other ways to get a few of my tricks off, too.  If it summons rain though, that bodes really well for Goodra.  All the more reason to get this done before this first week's over."

He raises an eyebrow when Ianai brings up the idea of a test to prepare anyone who'll be joining them on fighting the Wandering Hurricane.  "Consider me interested.  We'll have to ask the others as well, but tests are generally a good thing if you ask me.  Better to wade into shallower water before jumping into the deep end."

Checking his phone while on the way to the nearest pokemon center to stay for the night he notices Seddis message, shaking his head. What was this guy planning to get into, even with leaves?

If there is a way to offer support without engaging with it I'd be up for it, but even that is on the uncertain side. If the name is anything to go off of I'm looking at a severe type disadvantage while some creature thinks it's ok to go and nap mid battle. I'm very keen on not losing my life for an act of heroism better suited for more capable people, *she* would be very disappointed.

I would be ready to meet up tomorrow though , don't have a rigid schedule yet so it should be easy to fit in. I'm sure I can help in some other way.

Stay safe

Akamu receives a response quickly.  Seddi seems to be on top of this!

Noted.  We definitely don't want to displease *her* with overly reckless behavior if you don't think you can handle this kind of challenge.  Just be ready to hunker down if our battle with the Malefic Monstrum doesn't go well.

Think I've got an idea of when most everyone should be available to talk with the Professor now.  Thanks for the input.

Back to focusing on Seddi at the embassy, he'll tell Professor Sada that it looks like everyone will be available to talk with them in person tomorrow night.  "Bernhard seems to have the most rigid schedule.  Said he was going to be busy all day.  Everyone else who's responded hasn't given me any specific time restrictions so far."

He frowns slightly after that last statement.  "No word from Oz yet.  Hope she's doing okay.  I'll have to see if I can catch up with her tomorrow if she doesn't respond tonight."

Well, that should be most everything that needed to be gone over with the Professor, I think?  Though there is one more matter...

"Do we have any plans for lodgings yet, Professor?  Been a bit preoccupied all day, so I can't say I've had much of a chance to look into it so far."
