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

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

Neither Persaphone nor Hecate want to get out of their Balls, so utterly drained from the Fight that they want to sleep in until the very moment they're forced to Act. Fortuna, on the other hand, comes forth with almost insulting ease, looking remarkably well rested despite everyone else being distinctly not. It a bit of an 'acquired' quirk of theirs to quickly rebound and adapt to virtually everything, something she picked up over the years as you two traveled the Regions and endured many a tall tale and exciting event. 

Bethany, on the other hand, appeared with DRAMA, flopping onto your bed face first and letting out an agnoized groan, their form this time being that of a Nurse Joy that appeared to have one too many late nights. 

"Uggggggh. Wwwwwhyyy can't you let me sleeeeeep in? Why can't we aaaaalllll sleeeeep in? Mom can handle the shop fiiiiiine , and I don't waaant to get soaked."

Dite isn't in much better condition, letting out a pitiful whine and collasping on the spot, looking at you imploringly to please spare it further hardship for the day. She willing to Toughen up, since like almost all Pokemon she Wishes to grow stronger, but not when she is like this. Have mercy, please....!

Their is not much you can do about Exhaustion without Ethers, Leppas, or (if you're feeling pricey) Elixirs or deluxe Sports/Health Drinks, all of which you are conspicuously abscent on your person. Well, you have a Lemonade, but that alone ain't going to cut it for the amount of punishment those two foxes are bellyaching about. You could try a Medicine Roll to see if could find some way to soothe or relax them, but failing it is likely to only compound their existing issues.

If you're going to be on High Alert and Cautious we'll do some Alert Rolls to see if you pick up anything suspicious or dangerous while en route to the Koffee Shop; this WILL tack on a Time Penalty, but that's the price of soundness of mind and readiness for Action in this weather. As for handling the weather, you know a route to the shop that helps keep out of the rain for the most part; couple that with a Lucky Chant, Tailwind, and some spellwork from Persaphone and getting there unharmed or unhindered is relatively easy. Still drenched, but easy!

Oz understands the situation of her sisters. She picked up Dite and gave the fox Pokemon a little pat on her head, while giving Beth a pat on her back. “I understand. Truly. I still beat up from yesterday. However, I did promise your mom I would come everyday to see Meza and help in the Koffee to get help in adopting Meza. Besides, she is short on staff to help take care of the shop.”

She looks at the window. “And…well, I still worry about the possibility of John being still out there, since the police sent me a message telling me they couldn’t get John or his BBs.” At this point of the campaign, Oz already explained to both Dite and Beth about her ambush with John, his BBs and the reasons why they came after her. She however didn’t explain “how” she escaped then. “I'm pretty sure in this weather John could try something again as an act of revenge. That's why I prefer we go as much faster as we can while keeping a state of high alert.”

Oz then sat in the bed, and gave Dite another pat on her head, to try to soothe her worries. “I promise to make up for the both of you when we reach the coffee shop. I will buy some good drinks for you girls. Promise.” Oz holds Beth's hands, as a reaffirmation of her promise.

As for the medicine roll…I am pretty tempted to try. Even with the exhaustion level, my total dice roll still is 11D6 (Insight 4+Knowledge 4+Medicine 4-Exhaustion 1). I am pretty much confident I could try something but I would like to know how much success I would need to have to not make things WORSE?

And the Alert rolls? Yes please. After getting ambushed by something from the previous day, I will be extra careful to not be ambushed AGAIN by John and his BBs. Oz will of course send a message to Tiffany to tell her she will meet her in a while since she will be extra careful in the walk towards the shop.

Oz also send to Seddi, Bern and everyone:

Hey people! Oz here! I going to Koffee shop right now to do some work there! I will explain later. I will be fearful about the BBs doing something, but if things happen again, I will send a short message saying something like. “BBs here. Find me at [Insert Location].” It will be better just in case something happens like that again.

After that, she prepare a quick lunch for her and her sisters, and hopeful sumon Persephone, Hecate and Fortuna, and using a combination of Tailwind, Lucky Chant and a spellwork of Hecate, she follow the path she knows to the shop and start her work day at Koffee shop!
