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

[Lord Windos]

Not too shabby indeed. Time to prove that he and his karp had what it takes.

''Hidden Power, Tackle then Knock it Down.''

(3+3+4-2=8, 3+3+4-2=6, 3+3+4-6=4)

The two fresh Catches immediately go at it without much more prompting, looking downright eager to mess each other up!

Hoo boy. ??? Automatically Meet.

The punch of the professional octopus indeed lands the blow with surprising 'OMPH!' given its clumsy state, dealing 1 Damage as it sank its tentacle into G-Karp's gut.... !

...Which caused her to gag....and throw up something onto the dock.

Insight Roll: 3 + 3 + 0 = 6D6 Dice
(5)(3)(5)(3)(6)(3) 3 Successes

Something you recognize, as a matter of fact.

An Everstone.

*Thrum*

G-Karp suddenly begins glowing a bright white.

Oh no. 

She throws herself back and burbles is fierce, crazed RAGE and JOY and T R I U M P H.

A burble that soon turns into a 

*** R     O     A    R   ! ! ! ***

as your G-Karp balloons in size, it's already massive form stretching, elongating, and simply GROWING more and more and more and MORE AND MORE....!

Most of the crowd around you hit the deck, either running as fast as they or their Mons could carry them, or literally throwing themselves into the water, figuring they have better odds there than HERE with - !

The Beauty and her Gorgious Cloyster simply looked up at the ______ with blank looks, before simply going "Well shit."

The mermaid just stiffened and Fainted dead in her new Trainer/Servant/Boy Toy's arms, who looked very pale and close to passing out himself.

The Fisherman overseeing the competition just got on his knees and started praying.

For now, without a shadow of a doubt.....

You certainly have the BIGGEST, MOST POWERFUL Catch as your G-Karp evolves into a GIGA GYARADOS.

Quake, landlubbers, for a World Menace of the Seas has been Born.

The Sailor Shela was rooted in place, starring up wide eyes and Paralyzed at what her competitor's 'weak' fish Evolved into. Grips the Grapploct literally shriveled up as the now GIGANTIC Sea Serpant slowly lowered its big, remarkably calm face in front of its 'foe' ....

And simply Looks at it.

INTIMIDATING LEER 4
STR (*5) + Fight (3) + Intimidate (6) - 8 Actions - 1 Pain + 2 Successes (Weak and SCARED @#$%less) = 5D6 Dice
(2)(1)(2)(6)(6)  + 2


....Grips scrambles to get away, goes up to their Trainer to steal their Ball back, before promptly diving back into the ocean, leaving his former Master to defend itself.

The Leviathan watches all this placidly, before letting out a dismissive huff as her 'foe' wisely escapes. She could have easily caught and devoured him whole, but because they played a role in finally enabling her Evolution she graciously decides to Spare them.

Their Trainer, on the other hand, who had INSULTED them....

G-Gyarados turned its calm yet baleful gaze upon the sailor, contemplating just what they were going to do to them. Said sailor, upon receiving their FULL ATTENTION, promptly pissed and shat her pants and collapses on her knees, a daze and fearful expression frozen on her face.

Perhaps forever, if 'your' Terror from the Deep decides it to be so.

Due to the Insight Roll, I'll give you Three Options to Choose From:

1) GTFO - Every man and Mon for himself! No longer a part of the Encounter, but in turn whatever happens will be Out of Your Control. The Law won't penalize you for this too - for a World Menace a certain amount of leeway is given when dealing with them, more so than ever for freshly Caught and Evolved ones.

2) Try to reason with G-Gyarados, or come up with one hell of a good bribe. Failing that, get ready to RUMBLE and try (and most likely Fail) to Return them and subsequently Fight them instead. Or straight up Challenge them now to distract and maybe defeat her.

3) Let Nature take its course - heck, encourage them too and Taunt the Sailor for added salt and terror value. Your Gut tells you this will earn you not a small amount of brownie points with your now most terrifying Mon, but you're pretty much going to be pulling (or allowing, if you don't act the part) a villain Move. Everyone else but the Beauty, Boy, and Fisherman is gone, so you don't have to worry about too many witnesses if you go Baddie, but that means you got to convince or otherwise deal with them if you don't want them to rat you out.

What will it be, Wake's Soul?
