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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

He quickly walks towards the man and feline, flashing his government ID to any officers that ask why he's here.  "Here to give y'all some assistance.  If you got questions about that, go talk to Everett over there."

Ceruledge subtly nudges Seddi when she sees the Espeon's ear twitch.  He takes a note of that.  Looks like he's going to need to be careful with what he thinks around these two.  At least for now.

Seddi doesn't even bat an eye at Sylvia's own introduction (and her snickering at his name).  Maybe not surprising given he seemed to have been anticipating the telepathy already, but the man is certainly a bit of a mystery who looks and acts a little out of place himself.

"No offense taken.  You can probably imagine how often I get reactions like that when I introduce myself."

Ceruledge gives Sylvia a respectful, silent nod in return.  Though she's still keeping a careful eye on the Espeon and her interpreter(?), she's started scanning the area for anyone that looks suspicious.  Some of the pressure from her staring is alleviated for now.

"Right then.  Rabsca, come on out!"

Seddi tosses a Nest Ball, and the floating psychic beetle immediately takes notice of the other powerful Psychic presence in the area.  Their eyes are closed, but it's clear they're interested in the Espeon.

"With your permission Sylvia, I'd like Rabsca to directly assist you with scanning the area.  He's a powerful Synchronizer himself, and if you combine your abilities, maybe you'll be able to pick up on something we might miss otherwise.  The sensation can feel a little invasive if you aren't expecting it and are sensitive to such powers, so you are free to deny the direct Synchronization if you have privacy concerns.  Rabsca works much more efficiently when Synchronized though, and it could double our productivity, which is why I'm suggesting it.  The sooner we track down these varmints, the better."

Sylvia’s “whiskers” vibrate and eeeeever-so-slightly bend towards Rabsca as they enter.
>>Rabsca. A pleasure. I am open to Synchronizing, though I admit I’m not familiar with a mutual Synch. Forgive me, but it might take a minute to get used to. Please tell me if I can do anything to help.

There is a slight hum as Sylvia amplifies her own power slightly, in an attempt to make the Synch as easy as possible. Randy is looking uncomfortable - he’s not familiar with Psychic  power, and is quite fine staying that way, thank-you-very-much.

You (Seddi) are hardly held up as you approach the Center, as between you arriving with Dodger and your most fiercesome looking Ceruledge most of the force considers you additional help he brought in. One lowly officer does stop you - more out of following procedure than actually wanting to, from what your gut tells you - and after one doubletake as your considerable Identification and a awed/Intimidated look they let you go on your way and try to make themselves scarce and useful.

You know, now that you think about it, considering all the Status and Authority you were given you most likely outrank every officer here, including the chiefs. Only Dodger could really countermand you, and that's only in terms of the pure clout and POWER he has as one of Sutalor's top and more elite Independent Bounty Hunters. It was almost as if you were back to doing your job as a Ace Trainer of your League, only more so ...


For Randy and Sylvia, they don't find much on their own while they were sniffing out the scene, but then again they hadn't had much time to do so either or pull out some Psychic Tricks to enhace their search. 

With everyone in agreement about a Synchronized Psychic Search - Rabsca indeed looks quite excited to do such work, in their own kinda Zen way - the two of the telekinetic mons begin... Meanwhile, Ceruledge stands guard, sweeping their gaze around the area, ready to intervene if any foul forces would dare cause further Misfortune and ruin NOW of all times...


Synchronized Psychic Search!
Slyvia will gives a + 3 Bonus to the Final Roll, and due to both Pokemon having Synchronized the Roll Results shall be Doubled!
INS (4) + Survival (3) + Alert (3) - Difficulty (5) = 5D6 Dice
(6)(3)(1)(2)(1) + 3. X 2 Blegh.

Well, thank goodness for Sylvia's help, for that Roll becomes 6 Success in total! 

Initially, the coordinated sleuthing goes rather poorly, both because the two Pokemon's inexperience with using this method and the thoroughly confounding nature of the grim mystery. Just as the search was about to be called off the purple feline's gem lights up as they cross over a specific patch of ground. With a pulse of Psychic power from them it is revealed: a trail of foot prints, all of them glowing White in the Psychic Pokemon's vision as well as yours and Ceruledge's. The trail seemingly appeared right at that spot, as if out of thin air, before they lead all the way into the Pokemon Center. A shudder runs through both Mons as they become attuned with the etheral signiture of this Strange trail, and you can't help but feel a tremor of apprehension too - just what and who could create such an impression?

Ceruledge's Ghostly Vigilance 
INS (4) + Fight (4) +Alert (3) + *2 (On Guard) - 5 (Big Commotion) = 8D6 Dice
(2)(2)(4)(6) (3)(6)(1)(2) 3 Successes

Your Sword of Malice doesn't Detect any nerdowells or similar, but does spot what appears to be a Murkrow perched in a tree nearby, adorned in all kind of shiny things and dodads, as per the usual habit and fashion of city fairing crows. From what your partner was able to tell they didn't seem hostile or suspicions, but was oddly still and....disquieted? Hmm...
