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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

As for the Street Performance, before that - is Darren interested AT ALL in what his Astral Stone was trying to tell him, or is he like 'Oh. Okay' and just goes about his day?

In anycase, a Moderate Encounter entails getting drafted into the performance itself - the producer seems to take a like of your Cut and offers you one of Three Roles in the Third Act - the titular Bushland War! :

- A Chief of the Lepians: Full use of your own Team, including Megas, and a Terrain advantage! Bit of type casting (heh), but being a budding Bug Master with some nice insects does that to you!
- A Strategist of the Settlers: You'll be given a loaner Team, but have access to Healing Items and a Team mate to support/be supported by.
- A Renegade: Your own team and an leg up on the Lepians and Settlers, but you'll be facing off against them all as you try to make your own way through the Bushland Wars, be it villainously or virtuously .

Which Role Suits You?

(Must've missed that part, my b)
Darren checks to see where the astral gem is leading him, then does the Chief of the Lepians casting in the street performance once he's checked out what the gem is pointing out.

That Moment has passed - apparently you were so engrossed by the new Queen to be on your team that the Astral Stone's Warning completely Flew over your head and the situation has fully resolved by the time you check it and confirm things. You know something bad happened to Oz, but now that she was alright again (mostly). A few texts to your companions might be in order to clear things up...


As for your Roll, you find yourself on the stage - much bigger than you thought, now that you were actually on it (Wonder Room Tech, maybe?) - and have been given a Lepian Chieftan Costume (Similar to what Ianai wore, but a bit more elaborate and a bramble crown on your head) . You area of the 'Battlefield' was dense underbrush and a 'forest' of 'tree' that cut off direct sightlines to the place you were supposed to be Defending and Holding the Line. This Terrain shall GREATLY benefit your Bugs attempts at being Stealthly, setting Traps and Ambushes, as well as just making the place as inhospitable as possible to 'Invaders' .

You've been given the follow 'Script' to follow :

- You're allowed to use your Mons to modify and Trap the area, as well as put them in good spots to Stealth and Ambush.
- Your goal is to primarily Defend the area - this means trying to drive off the Settlers or prevent them from getting past your defenses/Mons and straight at YOU. If you get 'Captured' (Knockdowned and then Grappled) by the opposing Forces OR if someone manages to slip by you and past a pair of 'Gate Trees' you LOSE .
- You're allowed to KO Mons, and even the opposing Actors if they leave themselves Open to it or your Mons make a good/lucky Ambush. 
- You WIN by either Defeating the Forces before you and preventing anyone from bypassing you, Repel the Forces through Tactics, Good Defenses, and a Show of Force/Intimidation, or you find a way to Ally with Rouge elements to force your Foes to Surrender.


You're given plenty of time to make your Preparations: What ideas do you got cooking?

Also, if you let her out, Smore seems rather interested in 'Reinforcing Potential Territory' , and expresses desire to take Command of Glommena and Galvantula to 'Lead the Defense' and 'Prepare the Area' for 'Invaders' . Question is, do you Trust your new Mon enough to allow this 'Division of Labor and Planning' ?
