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

[Lord Windos]

Haunting yet captivating singing was coming from a rest stop area; the overhead street lamps around there were flickering erratically, and even glancing over you felt an intense, unmistakable chill prevade you. 'Danger!' your body seems to scream; unfortunately not everyone's sense were tuned in, for you spot a mother and their child heading right over and through the area.... Intervene?

Darren on alert mode, checks out the source of the singing

Alright, let's do a couple of Rolls to see what is on the up and up...

Stealth Roll
DEX (3) + Survival (2) + Stealth (2) + Darkness (1) = 8D6 Dice
(2)(5)(4)(5) (6)(1)(1)(4) 4 Successes!

???
*10D6 Dice
(6)(2)(1)(6)(1) (3)(1)(5)(3)(1) *1 Success

Careful and full of trepidation, you slink towards the rest stop, sticking to the deep shadows and watching your every step. You nearly trip over a small pot hole despite this, but you smartly recovered into a silent handstand and slowly tipping over to rest your feet silently against the ground. Phew, close call!

Near self inflicted jumpscare over with, you creep closer and closer towards the singing, until you felt yourself come to a stop just outside the flickering glow of the street lamps covering the area. 

Not because you wanted to.

Nay, your body seized up automatically, your every Instinct blaring out alarms as you caught clear sight of what was Singing that haunting, yet Alluringly SOUFUL tune....



....You....you don't know what this creature is, exactly. It certainly shared some similarities with Misdrevous, but the scales, the spikes, and that discolored ribbon of 'hair' set it firmly apart from one.

Moreover, you've probably ran into a Misdrevious or Mismagius between all the visits you and Aaron payed to the Ghost Gym to give you a proper challenge with your Bugs from time to time.

This....one felt nothing like them. 

At all.

Even hidden in the shadows, a good distance away, merely laying you gaze upon it you felt crushing d r e a d and a overwhelm p r e s e n c e near indiscernible....where it not encountering something akin to it just recently.

Supreme power, casual disregard, and immense and unabashedly whimsical and arcane feeling the emitted off it like waves...

It was like you were staring at a Pokemon version of Morgana.

You felt your breath catch in your throat, wondering if you were about to get another most Fae greeting - only this time without your Mentor there to save you - but...nothing happened. Despite feeling deep in your gut that this being should've immediately picked up on you lurking nearby, they did not - this scaly Misdrevious was so absorbed in its singing - and dancing, now that you are paying attention - that you have somehow slipped beneath its notice.

Twirling, twirling, without a care~

This city shall soon know despair~

Storms will Call

Heavens shall Fall

Then

Here

Soon

Doom greet, greets, greeted All~!

Ah ha ha ha ha ha~!

Somehow, you can understand it's cries, or at least the true meaning behind them. 

None of it bode good.

Faintly, you could hear footsteps drawing closer = and it was then you knew that family duo you spotted earlier were drawing near. Right now the....Pokemon remains Oblivious, but that wouldn't remain for long if things continued as they were. 

You could try to stop the Family, hurrying over to warn them or drive them off, but the chances of you drawing its attention on you in turn was all but certain. Your fate afterwards? Unknown

Or you could just....let things happen as they may. Remain still, remains hidden, until this Strange and Terrifying Pokemon is distracted by the intruding pair. They shall be the ones to greet this one while you save yourself.

To be a Hero for some, or to put the safety of You and Your Own above All. 

What will it be, Wreathed Soul?
