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

[Lord Windos]

"For the location, how would one go about finding the Picaros Mangroves? It's a place of great importance to me."

He inspects the ferrothorn but then shakes his head. A steel type would be nice but this one is looking to be much more trouble then it was worth, the rest of his party was hard enough to deal with.

At the end when nobody else was looking he'd hand the guide a note with his number. She was free to call though he was busy today.

He'd turn to Seddi after leaving the building,

"I know you're a busy man but if you do have the time I'd be up to start our training. I understand if you don't but this is a good opurtunity."

If he is indeed busy Akamu would use encounter 3 to check the surrounding district and maybe find a nice lost item or the like to take with him.

"*Worried look* That...I don't know why that place is important to you, but I recommend staying far away. It's in the running for the Top 5 Most Dangerous Places in Sutalor, right alongside Twinspire Depths, the Glimmering Seas, Auroruborus Valley during summer, *Shudders* and the Caldronic Wellspring. Well, if we're not counting wherever the Calamaties call home or the 'special' regions, but those are in a class of their own. Jellies, Dire Dartz, Wedgeaquillas, and occassionally Barishisska, Flutter Manes, and Rumbling Mountains are found there with relative abundance, most of the wild life is either hideously Poisonous, terribly effective Ambush predators, or simply highly territorial. Dire Dartz in particular call the Mangroves home, and they don't appreciate random people trespassing

"Still, if you must know, the whole of the Picaross Mangroves lies between Bayhama, Verdantia, and Quarmire. Easiest way to enter without getting horribly lost or getting gobbled up by the locals is to hire a Lepia tribesman to escort you there from either Verdantia or Quarmire, or follow the Picaross River until you hit where it meets Whitefalls River, then inward, as if you were taking a direct path to Bayhama. The former means you got to put up with being overcharged or follow their rules to a T or get ditched, and the later is risky due to the possibility of getting swept away by the rivers or its critters. Either way you're be in for a muggy and perilous time, so if you got plans to be there best prepare - LOTS of Antidotes and Repels, waterproof material for camp, and electric heating of some kind for food in case it rains non-stop."

The lady is surprised by the gesture, before blushing and tucking away your number, favoring you with a shy but interested smile. Lani rolls her eyes at this Weak courtship - where's the dancing and proving one's worthiness with Battles and displays of Power and Skill?

I'll wait until Dragonstrike confirms if he wants to share an Encounter with you before I roll out any Exploration Encounters.
