[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

"Hmm...indeed he was. This is probably the seed Sillicobra request us to get. Just in case keep in your bag for best safety. We might need later."

Kogeki nod his head in agreement to Pyra plan. He back off a safe distance, and ready his Kunai for best safety.

A little question Dragon? It is possible to Kogeki prepare himself with a Foresight to make his Normal-type moves hit Ghosts for battle reasons? Since Kogeki only moves for now is Bite and a few Normal type moves such as Feint and Quick Attack.

[Dragonstrike]

Foresight is an effect that affects the target, not the user, so there's no way to preemptively use the move, unfortunately.

Pyra throws a Gravelerock at the button (Geo Pebbles are a different item), but she can't actually see the button clearly because of the illusion, so that's hoing to make the throw harder.

Throw: 2 Dex + 3 Fight + 0 Throw = 5
(3)(6)(4)(1)(3) 2 successes

*thunk*

The sound of stone colliding with stone echoes around the room as the gravelerock passes through the illusion, then falls to the ground.

A moment passes...

Nothing happens.  It seems like Pyra's throw missed the button.

(You're welcome to try again, but I'd like you to alter the method at least slightly if you do, so that you're not attempting the exact same thing in the exact same way.  Or you could walk up and press the button withouting making a check.)

(.....I find it somewhat hard to believe that a Successful Throw would miss, but that's just me opinon. Also, if you discouraging me from repeat attempts, I'll just stop and let let Kogeki (Who CAN see the button) try his luck at hitting it from afar, as I'm getting nowhere near that Button. Failing that, if Dax has Water Gun that could work at 'pushing' the Button at Range. Magic Hall has proven it has shenanigans out the wazoo, so I am not taking any chance with anything there.)

[Spiritmon]

Kogeki wait for a few seconds...and nothing happens. "Pyra, let me try something this time." Kogeki then grab his Kunai and throw towards the button.

Kogeki had a few memories. From the time he was still human, and had to use the Kunai as one of his weapons.

"Master, why do I need to use a Kunai? A katana would not be more useful?"

Kogeki master hit the head of his student with a staff. "Are you deaf or have a death wish boy? The Kunai is one of the original weapons of a ninja. If not the most lethal. Be in close combat or to throw at the enemies, the Kunai is a versatile weapon. You will see that when you don't have a katana and you rely on what you have. Now stop saying nonsense and go back to your training damn it!"

With that little piece of memory in mind, Kogeki skill in throw things is recovered and he about to try it.

Raising Kogeki Throw speciality from 0 to 1 using 6 XP Dragonstrike. The roll will be more or less dex(2)+fight(2)+throw(1)=5D6

Since Kogeki know the exactly location of the button, did he get some type of bonus in the dice? At least a +1 in the roll dice since he know where to hit the Kunai?

[Dragonstrike]

Kogeki knowing exactly where the button is makes the check a little easier.

Throw
(5)(1)(5)(5)(6) 4 successes

*clang*

*click*

*rrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuummmmmmblllllle*

The small room shakes as the deafening sound of stone grinding against stone fills the old ruins.

And then the sound stops.

Karen, who had been covering her ears, slowly uncovers them once she's certain the noise has ceased.  "Well, that certainly did something.  Do you think that it has something to do with that wall we saw earlier?"

And when the group goes to check, they find that the wall has become a stairwell leading up and deeper into the ruins, and the trail of seed shells and red fur continues up them.  The group can now progress to the tile where Objective 2 is.

(For some context, the base number of successes needed to succeed at the throw was 3.  Hitting a small, obscured target from a distance isn't easy.  Kogeki only needed 2 successes to hit the button because he knew where it was.)

[Spiritmon]

Kogeki approach where the Kunai fall and grab it. "Now we have a path to go. Get ready everyone. We have our lead behind Monferno. Are you people ready?"

[no one]

"Aw, hell yeah. Let's go see what's up with this Monferno shall we?" Dax replied with an excited grin.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Nope, nothin happens when they're picked up.

Got it, added these three Seeds to my Inventory.

Kogeki approach where the Kunai fall and grab it. "Now we have a path to go. Get ready everyone. We have our lead behind Monferno. Are you people ready?"

Ziggy Kee yawns a little in response, and scratches himself behind the yellow-tipped ear with a paw of his. Then he eagerly shakes himself from the nose to the tip of his tail, showing a VERY toothy and 'I am up to no good'-grin. He can feel a rush of adrenaline starting to get the better of him once more, and a determined glimmer in his deeeep-red eye shows that he indeed IS ready.

[Dragonstrike]

"I think we're ready, right, Pyra?"

"Yes, let us bring judgment to that messy monkey that dared to mess with cleanly Mincinno!"

Team OS proceeds up the stairs to the location of their second objective, torches lighting the stairwell ahead of them as they climb.

At the top of the stairs, they find another corridor, lit not only by the torches on the walls, but also by a small flame at the end of a long tail.  It doesn't take long for the owner of that tail to turn and address the party, the glow of the tail's flame silhouetting the monkey shaped pokemon in the darkness.  The voice sounds like it belongs to a male pokemon.

"Oi, are you lot followin' me or somethin'?  Bugger off, why don't ya?  Can't ya see I'm busy here?"

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Ziggy Kee finds himself offended by Monferno's 'greeting', he locks his deep-red eyes with them and takes defensive stance with his teeth bared and bushy tail raised high. He seems unafraid and fearless, yet attentive and cautious, and his voice is aoft and clear as a bell! "Ohohohoho, NO. Can't an' won't bugger off, sorreh!~ Ya're busy here though? Nice, we're too. Whatcha doin' here?~"
