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

Not quite - they want a Performance out of you first. From you. One that truly displays who you are....and holds a message you wish to spread.

*hmm* Darren thinks for a bit, then says "Don't expect nothin' fancy." And puts thoughts of his yearning to better himself (who he is) and thoughts of his beloved bug partners (message) into a (probably) fairly awkward dance. (4D6 is his perform roll, if needed)

Dance Your Two Left Feet!
(6)(3)(3)(2) 

Your attempt at self expression went....about as well as you expected. You twisted when you should've turned, contorted when you should've moved, and several times you nearly faceplanted into the dirt. Never the less you managed to pull off some sort of dance, symbolizing your ardent drive and passion for all things insectile. Though you didn't quite manage the same level of zen-like rhythm as the long bird you still go in the 'groove' of things, letting out a few 'Hmms' and Bzzz' the few brief moments of 'sync' 

The Twirling Bird simply watched, at first, showing no overt signs of approval or disapproval. Eventually, something about your struggling, persistent dance provoked a response - it moving close and, smooth as spider silk, began to join in. When you swayed, they guided your way. When you tripped, then turned it into a skip. When you were about to fall, they help you rise above it all.

Round and round, turn and turn. The Bug Human and Long Bird spun. Whence and swoon, stranger and soothing tune. Buzz and whisa, sense a'synca.....

Where to go, what's to come? A storm brews, but heroes maketh rue. Faith turned wrong, righteous maketh strong. Uncertainty here, uncertainty there, uncertainty everywhere.

Yet do not give up. Do not despair.

So long as you can move, so long as you can improve -

As much as you can dream, as much as you can believe -

Everything will be right.

By rook and crook.

Stars shine bright.

Heroes arrive.

Kingdom come by kingdom done.

~~~~

- And, like that, it was over. You collapsed on your bum such a fervous and trippy dance, tired but strangely....energized. You could feel a strange sense of fulfilment too, as if you improve some small part of yourself, no matter how inconsequential it may be. 

After all, growth is growth. One step forward, to a brighter future.

You gained 1 Will Point. Your Perform Specialty Increases by 1. 

The Twirly Bird gazes down upon you, then gives a simple nod.

Well Done.

Grow Fast, Seldom Lax.

Just Like a Bug.

Much more, further still.

On and on you go.

But hold fast.

Never give up.

You shall one day Fly to the Stars.

It then gives you space, dancing backwards until coming to a stop, leaving a long stretch of garden between you. It gave you a bow and crossed their wings together, waiting. 

Seems like the time has come for the spar you were promised.

(Max or current Will?)

"Crustle let's do this, no fainting the opponent. Let's scout the typing, Feint Attack followed by Rock Blast." (Notes for spar: one on one, if a move would K.O. the mystery 'mon, it is held back, and unless the 'mon itself chooses to join Darren, he won't catch it.)


Feint Attack
Accuracy: Dex (3) +Fight (4)+Brawl(4)-Actions (2)= 9D6
Damage: Strength (3)+ 2= 5d6 (6d6/7d6 if SE or QEe, respectively, 4D6/3D6 for NVE rolls (2/4x resist, respectively))
Notes: Never Fail

Rock Blast
Accuracy: Dex (3) + Fight (4)+ Channel (4)- Penalties (5)= 6D6
Damage: Strength (3)+1= 4D6 base damage
