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

[Lord Windos]

Replacing the Harried Man is a Houdoom, accompanied by a small pack of Houdour. It's muzzle is bloody, and it looks to be on the hunt. Hard Difficulty; if not taken, may aggro onto you anyway, forcing an Encounter.

Darren stumbles across the group of dark mutts, and decides to do something about them, particularly the blood-soaked leader. Beedrill and Crustle will be used at first. "Beedrill, intimidate the Houndour into staying off our backs, Crustle, Sand Attack, Withdraw, then Rock Blast on the Houndoom." If Darren is able to surmise that the Houndoom has human blood on it, this will be an attempt to put down the potential man-killer. And he also gives the Feather crown a try.
