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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

3. Foxy Delights! (1x Use)
You can rent one of the 'Elite' Rooms to be catered to by your Final Stage Fox or Elephant Evo of your choice, which in effect grants your Party increased Happiness and Loyalty as well as help bolstering Will Recovery and having an outsider willing to listen to your woes and bounce ideas off of. You also can request Battles from the Foxes or them to conduct various Rituals to confer Buffs/Debuffs/Fortune/Bad Luck/etc. to you or anyone you think of, but these 'add-on' options can get quite pricey.

Darren makes his way past a few Nicket and Thievul, keeping track of his possessions as he does so, to one of the specialty rooms. (I'm going to assume Iron Treads and Great Tusk are right out for choices)
He'll request a Kantonian Ninetales.

No, in fact, they are choices, but they come with three caveats:
1) They're expensive ($5000 each)
2) You have to sign a waver stating you absolve the store of any liability for Lethal and/or Deadly injuries for pissing off them or not being handle a Fight/Spar with them if you request one and/or they decide it's what you and your team 'need'
3) They're the more dominant type of hosts/hostesses, IE They decide how to take care of you right with a little input, not the other way round.

Still, if you can put up with all that they offer excellent benefits on the whole to all sorts of Bonding, Training, and general support, and they give one heck of a good Fight to gain XP and Traits...if your Mons can take their POWER. Also gives you good data to share with Seddi about what these Paradoxes are like kept in captivity AND trained to go against the grain of their Instincts, which is good stuff in general if you want one of them or another Paradox/Elephant later!

Kantonian Ninetales, by contrast, only costs $2000 for the visit, and offers more in the way of Bonding, Counseling between Mon and Trainers, fluffy hugs and service (+ Will Gain), and doing Good Luck/Curse Someone Rituals ($1000 Poke each to modulate your Fortune/Getter Better Fortune and Search Rolls or to impart a Curse Tailsman that your Mon can apply to someone to give them Curse (1 Whole Day Use) ).

Included in the service is 3 Free Koffees, with up to 1 Berry and 1 Honey (+ Happiness Boost) to each. You can also take a book (Cost still applies) from the Fox Nook to study while either Elephants or Foxes pamper/practice with you, and you read through the book faster to gain its benefits faster while doing so.
