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

[Pokekitty2]

Spoiler

Murkrow gawked and gave an affronted stare at your request (Demand), but Sir hopped right to it, replacing his main weapon with a few stiffer feathers and what looked like a nail file from....somewhere and getting started on pampering and styling the Gargyph. That bird warrior of yours....his Loyalty and commitment to you was such that Fairy Queens and their courts would praise it. Ask anything of him, and he'd do it. No matter what. It was hard trying to not unintentionally exploit that, but with time you struck a good balance with the lovable birdy, and his dedication towards you only grew leap and bounds as a result.

Eventually a few threats of denying some good meals got the raven to pitch in, though their efforts were halfhearted at best as they grumped throughout it. With you own considerable telekinetic and self-grooming prowess (taking care of a coat as fine as yours is serious work!), you all try to do your best to smooth out all the wear and tear this stone griffon has accumulated over the years.

Doing a Roll, just 'cuz: (5)(2)(4)(2)(6) + 1 (Stylist!) = 4 Successes!

Vain and egotistical for you praise yourself, but after seeing Gargyph *sparkle* in the light and it looking over itself in muted awe....well, you're allowed some indulgences. Sir seemed happy with the work too, while Murkrow rolled their eyes and made themselves scarce, flying over to another building to watch and wait for things to be over.

Small talk fails - they are just not great at it, giving only dry reports of what it 'watches' - though asking about its interests reveals a strange fascination with briefcases and bicycles of all things. Gossip fails, as they're not even aware of the concept until you told it to it - and they immediately dismissed it as something 'beyond it' . Interesting Places included the Boardwalk (particular a club with fox critters it like to watch and imagine chasing around/hunting) and elephants, as well as a few small churches it felt drawn to visit from time to time. It also like to fly off to the boarder every now and again to meet with family and share reports, once you managed to coax it enough to speak about that.

Overall, Gargyph is very well pleased with your efforts - enough that it's been given pause, unsure if it wants to dimish you forever or not at this point. Hmm...

>>Well. That’s looking much better.
Sylvia gives a pacing circle of the Gargryph, doing one last once-over.
>>Hmm. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Thanks for the help, Sir.
>>What do you think? She asks Gargryph.
