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

[Lord Windos]

''Sure then, I got this weird Mushroom that acts kinda like a pokeball and this.... device, it seems to be broken and I dont have the knowledge to fix it.''

He'd present the ??? Red Cap and the ??? Device.

It's not a mushroom, but a hat with eyes on it, though with how weird it is such a mistake could easily be forgiven!

Seddi takes a gander at both, comparing them to the stuff he does know and trying to get a 'feel' for them wit his burdgening S.T. sense. Iron Leaves not being here to Assist puts a severe hamper on his efforts - he's not the greatest Researcher to begin with and this stuff is well outside his expertise, but surprisingly Sylvia chips in a bit to help. Pokemon studies is more her thing, but her mind is Sharp as a sword - Honed all the more by what she has recently Endured.

Seddi's Investigation Roll Per Item!
INS (3) + Knowledge (2) + Crafting and ST (4) - 1 Successes (INS Malus) -  Not My Expertise (3) + 4 Dice (Willful Wisdom + 2 INS and 1 Knowledge - 1/3 of her Scores, Rounded to Down) 
??? Cap : (5)(5)(5) (5)(3)(1) (1)(4)(6) (2)  5 Successes!
??? Device: (1)(5)(3) (1)(2)(5) (1)(2)(1) (3) Doh! Crit Fail!

You're (@Dragonstrike) able to determine and share that the Red Cap is something akin to a Capture Device like a Pokeball, but seemingly MUCH less effective if the readings you're getting on its 'Seal Strength' compared to regular Balls is any indication. That, and from what you can feel, their seems to be some sort of....fundamental incompatibility between it and regular Mons? However, you discovered one crucial thing about it: it doesn't interface with the Party Limit correctly; what that means is Unown, but you DO know it doesn't decrease said P.L. .

The Broken Device's purpose and design, however, completely mystifies you. The odd energy it was putting out was not helping the headache it was causing by trying to figure it out. So much so, in fact, you're actually left Confused (-  2 INS) and immediately begin spacing out. You're not quite out of it, but it is SO hard to focus and maintain composure now and you're Unaware of your current Status....

Velzuna doesn't seem to notice his Master's vexation, his attention still glued on Akamu and that D a r k Ultra Ball of his....

Whether or not Sylvia notices  Seddi's Confusion I'll leave it to her!
