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

[Iron]

Vernax hefts a Pokeball.

"Hungry, little guy? I always used to feed the Stunky back on the farm. Dad told me not to, saying they'd become dependent, but I did it anyway. Want to travel with me for a while?"

If Stunky leaves/refuses, Vernax will throw the Pokeball, but won't use violence against it, preferring to flee/dodge on Dodrio's back instead if the Stunky attacks.

Charisma (Food/Care) Roll Vs Stunky's Will (5) and Disobedience (1)
INS (3) + Survival (2) + Nature (3) + 1 (Yum yums) + * 1 (???) 
(6)(6)(3) (3)(5) (2)(4)(2) (1)(2) Well...
(5)(1)(6) (6)(4)(5) Stubborn!

Stunky thinks about it, before shaking its head and stamping a foot in what sounded like a 'no' . However, its not also interested in attacking - not after getting some nice treats from the lil bear, or after you proved yourself at least tolerant of it. From your experience with the species, you could tell it was hesistant to trust a stranger without some sort of 'guarantee' or gesture to prove your intentions - their species were often considered pests that were hunted or driven away, and as a result wariness and a degree of paranioa was breed into them as a whole.

Still want to throw a Ball at it, or step up the convincing game?

"Pretty hard to blend in with the night when you're a bright white critter, isn't it? Could be dangerous. Well, let me tell you, I'm traveling with a skinny Munchlax, a Lotad the size of a car who will never evolve, and a Turtwig who enjoys pretending to be a hand tool. I've been talking to a talking Espeon and a literate dragon Pokemon. My human companions include a witch, a wizard, a cowboy... It's a good life for misfits. Think about it!"
