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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Your sharp eyes and senses spot two potential options for get-away:

1. Bold as brass you dive past the Big Gloomy Dragon and back into the Pipe. Where it will take you at this point is Unown, and you risk getting STOMPED, but you're confidant enough that you can finagle a way past them and just might catch the big beast off in surprise at your bold play!

2. You spy another Pipe in the distance, past some ROUGH terrain and stream of questionable with and depth (Hard to tell from here). You can attempt a mad dash to get there, and almost assuridly will cause the Big Gloomy Dragon to chase you, but any port in the storm kahuna aspiree!

As for Lani's Willingness to Fight....

Loyalty: (6)(5)(3) + 1 (Yikes!)
Disobedience: (4)(2)(5) + (6)(5) (Oooh, a REAL Challenge!) Ah fiddlesticks

Lani's INS Check: 12D6
*Rolls* Hmm...

Lani does NOT share your hesitation, perking and squaring up as she looked ready for her first TRUE challenge! From the Bond you share with her you get the feeling that she believes that she's capable of actually having a chance against this big ol' beast, though she's not 100% confidant about it. Also, you get the sense from her that Big Gloomy Dragon is going to Pursue you no matter what due to....what feels to be territorialness? Oh, don't tell me that it sensed its kin and their power from that Fight and decided to intervene?!

If it has to be this way, she'll learn a lesson either way.

He'd give her the chance to dig in, should things prove to go badly there was *something* to be unleashed on the beast.

''Fine then, begin with Dragon Dance, then Bullet Punch EX and Drain Punch.''

Lani's Reactoin: *Rolls*

The Big Gloomy Dragon, in its haste and too drunk on power, MISSES. Lani, in a blink, GRAPPLES the offending limb and FLIPS the Big Gloomy Dragon, Knocking them Down and deal 4 Damage, howling with delight and blood pumping EXCITEMENT!

Swiftly, the BGD rights itself, jumping backwards and landing just behind the Pipe, glowering down at this....this whelp that was pushing them THIS hard. 

Before, it was simply proving its DOMINANCE over this Strange Draconic INTRUDER.

Now?

It was more than personal.
