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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Good gives a sad but understanding trill, shuddering as they thought of all that icky, nasty, no good Magic that was no-fun to deal with at ALL.

Nemona, on the other hand, seemed to grow more intense as she Stared you down...
...
...
"*Sighs* Geez, can't even give me a straight answer if your life could depend on it. *Chuckles, shaking head* Then again you wouldn't you without being squirrely a Pachy and more flexible than an Arbok about your plans."

*Shrugs*

"Alright, Goodra can stay with ya for a couple more day. After that you can check back with me and give me a proper answer, yeah? *Frowns* Like I said, shit is about to pour down where you're at. Be prepared and try not to get yourself maimed too badly, okay? Okay!"

The mood grows a bit lighter as you interject and share your own experiences with the city, getting some winces, a few dark looks, and ultimately a smile that beamed support and Good Vibes as she gave you a thumbs up.

"Yeesh, and here I thought Seddi tended to step into dung piles. Not much I can do about local issues - not without pissing of the Prez and giving Sutalor a stroke, - but between our good cowboy friend and your own talents I think you can handle the worst the region has to offer. Heck, you already have by my count! So have a bit more confidence in yourself, 'k? If ol earthy here thinks highly enough to want to rely on you and you're as half as capable as I think you are then nothing should stop your rise to the top! *Winks* 'Especially the great friends you've made along the way."

Nemona turns back to Seddi and lets out a bit of a forelorn sign, rubbing the back of her head.

"Right, we got to end this call eventually, before Prez starts getting curious where I've been 'hustling' around. Rather not have to wrestling with her Aces, get nagged to death, and have us both get sectioned for *Air Quotes* 'being reckless heroes' . Ugh. Got any last things to say before we Wrap things up for today?"

If not, that's that! With that Oz's only Encounter for the Day is Done, though she can still tag around with another PC to be involved in RP and give them minor bonuses to their Rolls - though I urge the primary PCs to not hinge their decisions on input from them so that things can progress swiftly enough. Oz gains +2 Will and 7 XP (after Mod) from sharing Her Story and hearing the somber tale of Seddi's own Past, while the rest of you Mons (sans Dite) make some progress in Happiness and Loyalty as well as gaining 7 XP (each) 

Seddi gains + 2 Will and 8 XP (after mods)  for much the same reasons, as well as handling Kusinagi's and Ceruledge's spat rather bold but effectively. Kusanagi also stole a couple of bottle of Good Scotch for herself and foisted them on you: they lower Insight (except for heavy drinkers) by 1, but its a good pain killer and disinfectant (+Medical Rolls) as well as having special interactions with types weak to Poison/prone to drunkeness. Your Mons only gain 4 XP; the old otter being rather...disengaged from things by the end of it and your Blade of Malice being distracted threeways by you, Kusi, and Oz making it hard to pay attention

I believe Seddi has 1 Mod and 2 Minor Encounters remaining - do with them as you Will.

Seddi shrugs.  "Nothin' about this trip has been as straightforward as I would have liked so far.  Wish I could give ya a straight answer."

One last thing to say?  Oh right, he should probably mention those.

"Somethin' separate but still concernin' to be aware of actually.  I've gotten reports of altered pokemon in the region.  Nothin' concrete on who's behind what yet, but I'm gonna keep my ears to the ground for any further mentions of such experiments."

Yeah, reports of Shadow and Nuclear pokemon are both rather concerning for different yet similar reasons...
