[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Spiritmon]

"...Dark types. Why there is have to be dark types. Nagi, return for now." Kogeki notice something about this dark type? If it is hungry or something? Or even hurt?

*rolls*

Mightyena definitely doesn't look hurt, nor hungry.  What Kogeki does notice is there's a whimpering noise coming from the shadows behind Mightyena.

Mightyena itself is still growling at Kogeki, but hasn't attacked (yet).

I have a idea. Kogeki decided to not attack the Mightyena. Instead he drop the sword he had with him with a loud *THUD!* and he sit down with his legs crossed. "I mean to harm to you Mightyena. All I want is explore this cavern. I drop my weapons as a symbol of peace."

Action: Be Pacific action towards Mightyena. I have a feeling what is the sound behind him, and if my guts it's right, try to attack it's not a good idea. Just in case, Gama is ready to defend Kogeki with a Clash roll of Gunk Shot in case Mightyena really try to attack. Kogeki is not Arial for Arceus sake!

Oh good these rats have escaped by themselves already, meaning that Kee does not have to scare them off. Hooray!~ But just in case, he summones Draven and lets him scatter some nice and poisonous spikes in the direction the ran off as a precautional measure IF they think that ambushing and biting said intruder would be a smart idea. Oh, and just because he also lets the toxic vampire hunt for them if he's up for that, either playfully just for the sake of it or seriously in the intention to grab a fresh snack. "Just make sure that they don't mess with us while we're here. And please remember to collect the spikes again before we move onwards, 'kay? We don't want to.... Accidently. Step. On. Them. Ourselves." (ಠ_ಠ) (Don't ask)

Now with that dealt with, muscial guy brings his attention to whatever is wedged within that pile of rocks. Dear heavens, please DON'T be jammed so hard into the rocks that he can't retrive it, just a few minutes ago he explained to Juhani that he's the opposite of physically strong - that'd make him facepalm epically once more. Hummm.... "Could ya lend me a helping hand on this, Octavia? Together we SHOULD be able to set it free. You grab it with your ribbons and on 3, we'll pull it out, alright?"

If an Accu Roll is needed for that Helping Hand, it's 3 Dext + 4 Contest + 3 Perform + 2 Singe Action Bonus = 12d6.

Draven doesn't really care about either TVher the Rattata or the scattered Toxic Spikes. Neither are going to be likely to cause any harm to him, so he simply ignores them once he's done with them.

Helping Hand
*rolls* 7 successes
+2 dice for Kee's next skill check

Strength + HH
(5)(4)(1)

With Octavia's help, Kee is definitely able to pull the item free!  Upon closer inspection, he finds that it's a Protein.

How ironic.

(Oh, one of my fav Ice Types! Nice!)

To further elaborate on his inevitable meeting with dead end, Ran let's loose a particularly annoyed swear as he stamps his feet at this set back.

"Verdammt! All that work and effort getting here, for nothing! Less than nothing, in fact, since NOW I have to retrace my steps and find another way through here! Verdammt noch mal dieses zerklüftete labyrinth!"
Translation: Damn this craggy mess of a maze!
Upon discovering the somewhat irate Jynx giving him the stink eye, the midget man's opinion of his situation shifted to a more positive bent.....somewhat.

'A Jynx?! By spark, forge, flint and Steel! Thought them frosty lasses weren't native here in Sinnoh , but low and behold, here be one standing before me!'

(He wouldn't know that they were native to Snowpoint Temple, for fairly obvious reasons, and Smoochum only Swarm around Lake Acuity rarely, so his surprised is warranted/justified.)

' ....One that looks like they have a Cubone to pick with me, by the testy expression she be giving me. Probably because I've been melting all the ice down here, if I had to guess. *Mental Sigh* Verdammt....this is just my kind of luck, good and bad. Welp, let's see if I can't salvage this 'fore I have to resort to chipping and Capturing them the hard way.'

His thoughts on this matter concluded (for now), Ran let's out a small *sigh* , takes off his hat, and gives the cold beauty an apologetic bow. He also recalls Belladona and motions for Brigid to stand behind him, so as not to further provoke them.

"Sorry bout melting all the ice 'round here, mam. Just trying to get through this maze to the next floor, without slipping and sliding me way into a rock and breaking something that shouldn't be broke. I'm willing to make amends, though, if ya let me. If your willing to join up with me, I'll buy ya some nice jewelry and some Ice Gems later when I get out of here, right away. A lady of your standing deserves such gifts, and I can afford it, so I promise you'll get what owed to ya. If you need more immediate compensation for your troubles, though, I got a TM for Avalanche I can teach ya right now. Heck, I'll do that for free, to give you proof that my I mean good by my word."

He looks back up to her, his stare appropriately contrite.

"What do you say, mam? Peace?"

Empathy: (5)(6)(5)(1) + 1 for peace offering
Will: (5)(5)(4)(3)(3)(1)(5)

Jynx looked like she was going to dismiss the apology for a moment, but she hesitates.  However, her opinion hasn't been swayed entirely, so she doesn't accept the gift right away.

Just in case, Gama is ready to defend Kogeki with a Clash roll of Gunk Shot in case Mightyena really try to attack. Kogeki is not Arial for Arceus sake!

The sword actually makes a loud *clang!* sound when it's dropped.

Mightyena is staring at Kogeki, sniffing for potential threats.  For this plan to work, Gama needs to successfully hide from Mightyena.

Stealth: (3)(2)(6)(3)(6)(6)(5)(4)(1) 5 successes.  Camouflage doesn't help against being detected via smell
Alert: (5)(4)(1)(4)(5)(2)(3)(6)(2)(1)(2) 4 successes

Mightyena stops growling at Kogeki, but is still eyeing him warily. The wolf doesn't move from its spot, and whimpering can still be heard from the shadows behind them.

Kogeki try to get a conversation with Mightyena. He takes a few sushi he carry with him and begin to offer a few to Mightyena. "So...rough day huh? You might be hungry. You can eat if you want friend. You and I kinda not so much different with each other. That whimpering behind you, is either a parent of yours needing medic assistance, or maybe a prey you get to yourself."

"Either choice it is, I don't have intention in fight against you, unless you give me no choice. You could have attack me when I was defenceless, but you did not. You have a sense of honor. And I admire that. My name is Kogeki, and I a ninja. And..." Kogeki than show his wood arm. "I kinda lost a arm of mine as you can see, so unfortunately you couldn't get to much meat. Is there something I could help you might dark wolf?"

Kogeki share his sushi with Mightyena, and eat some to prove its not poison.

Jynx looked like she was going to dismiss the apology for a moment, but she hesitates.  However, her opinion hasn't been swayed entirely, so she doesn't accept the gift right away.

Keenly aware and a little relived that the cool dancer was on the cusp of peacefully parley from him, Randolph decided to up the ante with his reparations to see if that seals the deal.

"Hmm....I see you still have ya doubts about me. Fair enough - I didintrude and mucked around in your territory here,  which is pretty hard to forgive and forget. I certainly wouldn't like it if our situations were reversed. So how about I lend ya a hand here to fix up the things I messed up here? Can't help ya directly refreeze that patch of Ice - don't have any Ice types, I'm afraid - but my Skarmory can whip up a Tailwind and Puck can Baton Pass ya a Shell Smash from my Torkoal to assist ya doing that yourself. Oh, and I'll buy ya your own music player too - its a object that can create music - so that you'll always have a beat you can dance too, just to make things more fair between us. Heh, I even have a Chatot and friend that can make their own music, and I don't think it wouldn't be too hard to convince them to put on a personal Performance for you later. So.....is this boon better to your liking, mam?"

(He'll retrieve Puck via his Portable PC if they agree, switching out Mystery Pokemon #2 temporarily to pull off the elaborate Baton Pass via Snatching Brigid's Shell Smash and giving it to her [Jynx] and Stymph will whip up a strong Tailwind to enhance the re-freezing process via convection. If need be, Ran also probably has bottles of water on him he can use to create more ice.)

Jynx patiently waits for Randolph to help her refreeze the area.  Tailwind's buff doesn't stack with Shell Smash, but the wind does still help because it's a really frigid wind.

Speaking of which, that Tailwind's blowing from the direction of the stairs to Floor B3.  And Randolph can hear the faint sound of howling wind as well...it's very faint right now, however.

Jynx can hear it too, though, and she shudders.  Regardless, it doesn't take her very long to freeze over the area with her Powder Snow thanks to Randolph's assistance.

Mightyena doesn't take the sushi.  It instead steps aside and jerks its head to indicate Kogeki should look at what's behind it.

When Kogeki looks, he finds a whimpering Poocheyena pup who is clearly malnourished, and is just as scruffy looking as Mightyena.  Scraps of meat hanging off of bones that have been scraped almost clean litter the small makeshift den that Mightyena has made.

Poocheyena weakly looks up at the stranger as he approaches and whimpers at him, staring at him with puppy dog eyes.

"....There's that wind the guard mentioned. *Tsks, grimacing* Sounds every bit wrong as I imagined. More solid proof something foul is going on here, and it sure is hell ain't Belladona. Not this time. Verdammt...."

Yeah, the bristly blacksmith doesn't like what he's hearing either, especially because its got Jnyx spooked too. If one of the locals of the Temple don't like that howling wind, then he can safely assume its or whatever is responsible for it does not bode well in the slightest....

Ran does his best to ignore it for the most part, though. He has a boon to pay the frosty lass he pissed off with his indiscriminate trail blazing through this maze, so his focus is on doing that now. 'Sides, he'll be investigating it soon enough. Far too soon enough.

Once the dead end/Jynx's territory was re-frozen, he recalls all his Pokemon but Stymph (Brigid goes up, so as to not accidentally melt anything) and walks over to Jynx, stopping just outside he personal space, bows to her again.

"*Smiles* Welp, this place is nice and slick again. I say we did a pretty good job, didn't we?"

He looks back up to the cool dancer, and lets out a affable chuckle.

"Heh heh....thank ya for letting me repay you, mam. You'll be getting the rest fast as I can manage finishing my business here and get out as I said, I swear to Regice. Now all that's left...."

The midget men held up a hand to Jynx, offering her a handshake.

"....Is to seal the deal. We're partners now, Jynx?"

Poocheyena weakly looks up at the stranger as he approaches and whimpers at him, staring at him with puppy dog eyes.

Kogeki could feel his heart drop in such young Pokemon in such state. He was tempted to go and help the little pup, but he was sane enough to know the adult Mightyena might not like. "Mightyena, is there something I could do to help your child. I am a father too, and I know the feeling of worry of your children. Let me help both of you. To find anything to help your child. Or even send him to people who could help him."

"I know you don't trust me, but my honor demand help someone in need. I offer my own life to help you and Pochyena."

A little question: Ralts and Cleffa could heal at least a bit Pochyena health with Heal Pulse? Or even bring some miracle with Wish?
