[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Lord Windos]

[If you trying to scare the hell of me Windos, good news to you: You succeed.]

"Where the heck is that Vampire?" Whisper Arial trying to sound furtive. Since this place is the Vampire iner sanctum, she proprably around here. Arial then gladly he did not break the window back when he was inside his room. That crazy woman could go there in minutes. Arial arm himself with both the Plunger and Bludgeon (better have two then one weapon!), and decide to take a look in the room, trying to be furtive, and taking a look in the cabinants to find anything more to defende himself (a chicken knife or something!). He take the opportunity see the room if there a good place to hide in case the Vampire suddenly apear. "A prepare person valuable for two."

Action: Search the room for any interesting item and any good place to hide!

Weapon/Item Search: Insight + Knowledge + Alert = 6D6 Dice
(4)(5)(5)(6)(3)(4) 5 Successes

With extreme care and delicacy, you explored the small kitchen area for any at all useful towards you self defense, ongoing escape attempt, etc.. Searching the dining room portion didn't turn up much more besides the remains of what could be generously described as 'food' , but rummaging through the couch turns up: Rolling 1D100 - (98) $980 Poke in loose change. Wouldn't keep you alive right now, but maybe in the future it could help by some more supplies! The cabinants, meanwhile, prove to be a much more fruitful place for plundering, as you found a small bowl that had 5 Berries in it! They were:

(3): Oran (Heals 1 HP) , (3): Oran (Heals 1 HP), (2): Perssim (Cures Confusion), (6): Figi Berry (Heals 6 HP and 3 Lethal Damage, But Inflicts Severe Confusion if your Pokémon/yourself doesn't like the flavor) , (5): Sitrus Berry (Heal 3 HP and 1 Lethal Damage, no downsides)

Their were other a few more containers that held berries, but none of them were the type that could cure Status/Heal you, at least from what you could tell. In on of the drawers, you also manage to obtain a large, somewhat rusty Butcher's Knife (That looked to have freshish blood on its blade...) This weapon would deal STR + 3 against enemies, but such use has a chance to break it, since its designed to cut into the flesh of the dead, not the living. The Fridge......in had bags filled with Meat of some kind, a couple of Gallon Milk Pitchers filled with Blood, and a whole intact and dead Pigdy sitting on a plate.

Auto Reaction Roll: (1) You SLAM the door shut, creating quite a racket in the process. It was then, following the burst of noise, you heard what sound like hurried foot steps coming from directly beneath you. Oh dear, the Vampire heard that. The Vampire heard that. *&$%!

Quick, where to hide?!

-Under the Table? Kinda obvious if she checks there, but at the very least you have easy access to bolt towards what you think is the exit of this floor, and some concealment is better than none!

-In the empty cabinet under the Sink? Crampt fit, and your sorta stuck in their if the Vampire check the place, but its not a typical hiding spot AND its closer to what you think is the exit.

-The dead end that hold the door to what you think the exit to the floor is? No cover at all, but you THINK that the door swings open in such a way that it would obscure line of sight in that direction, and the moment the bloodsucker investigates the kitchen/rest of floor, you can immediately book it.

-The Vent? All but a perfect hiding spot, but the problem is that its quite far away, and its a gamble whether or not you'll be able to enter it unseen, which could lead to a scenario where the Vampire is chasing you through the vents or sends one of her Pokémon to do so. Not good!

-Hiding is for cowards, Imma Fighting the Monster! Low chance of succeeding, and the outcome will likely be distinctly unpleasant. Might distract them long enough for Reiner to come barging in without resistance, though!

Choice you hiding spot/course of action, madman!

Music: Unwanted Attention

Shit! Arial tough to himself. He must think about a place to hide himself unless he want to get the unwanted atention of the Vampire! And Reiner and the others still not apear! He could try to talk his way out and have a conversation, but he did remember the last time. He dont have much time so he decided to take a quick escape route. He decided to go to the dead end that hold the door to what he think the exit to the floor is. Just in case something go wrong, he equiped the Bludgeon in case the Vampire try to look in his direction. The surprise and shook might distract her.

Action: Choose number 3. And equiped the Bludgeon with the chance to knock her down.

Fleet feet quickly carry you to the other dead end of the floor you are on, standing just outside the extend range where you think the door would fullly swing open to avoid the ignoble fate of being clobbered by it! A couple of minutes pass while you are the pseudo hiding spot, hearing The Vampire hurrying towards your position with a audible *Thump Thump THUMP* , getting closer and closer and closer, causing you breath to hitch when the ominous sounds stopped right at the door you were standing offside to.[/I]

Coin Flip: *Tosses Coin*  (Tails) ....Well, don't that beat all?

The doorway is thrown open in the opposite direction you are facing (Doesn't cover you), and following the tail end of that motion was none other than The Vampire herself, standing there menacingly and on extreme alert/guard. Given that it would only be a matter of literal seconds until you she twisted her head and caught you wandering around blood red handed, you decide 'heck with the Silent Horror theme, Imma gonna snek attack them!' , and promptly swung the lead pipe at the back of her head!

Ambush Attempt: DEX (3) + Survival (2) + Stealth (*2 [Its dark enough for the Bonus]) + Quick Reaction (*2) = 8D6 Dice
(6)(3)(6)(4)(4)(6)(5)(3) 6 Successes Barely mustered past the check!
Vampire's Alertness Check: Insight (4) + Survival (5) + Alert (5) = 14D6 Dice
(3)(1)(3)(5)(1)(2)(2)(5)(5)(3)(4)(4)(4)(1) 5 Success



Lead Pipe Strike
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (2) + Brawl (2) + Single Action (2) = 9D6 Dice
(2)(4)(6)(5)(2)(2)(5)(4)(2) The lead pipe connect with a *BRAAACK!* Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (2) + 2 + Crit (2) - Vitality (*5) = 1D6 Dice
(6) The Vampire takes 1 Damage; 9/10* HP!
Instant Knock Out (Only Works on a Surprise Ambush and if you Inflict Damage): (3)(4)(1)(6)(5) Welp

Against all reasonable odds and expectations, you not only managed to successfully Ambush the dreaded blood sucking serial killer, but, as she teetered in place, reeling from the Strike, her knees buckled and she slumped toward the ground, you managed to knock her unconscious as well! Praise Arceas above and Giratina below! She going to Knocked Out for at least an Hour or two, and, since you don't see or hear any of her minions fluttering after their master, the coast was clear!

Reiner can now fast travel to the floor Arial is on; both men have free reign over the Warehouse. Talk about lucky, eh? Awaiting your responses....

[Dragonstrike]

Fortunately, Kyubi heard that fridge slam as well.  And the lead pipe connecting with a skull.

Reiner and Mew end up following her to the scene, and are definitely pleasently surprised to see the Vampire KOed.

'Have Yang Wrap her up nice and tight, Reiner.  And let's also take her pokemon and items off of her.  I'd rather not have a battle if we can avoid it.

Yang give you a calm nod of his head at your orders, but before he does so you proceed to do what any good criminal/detective does and rummage through her belonging for any and all things useful on her person. This required you to remove her cloack/cowl for inspection, which has been dutifully obscuring her appearance for who knows how long, and the moment you did so you were treated to quite a....unique site:

Link [Since a picture is worth a thousand words!] = http://www.valsalia.com/comic/prologue/03/
[The Vampire basically looks exactly like that, only she doesn't a thorax [Obviously] and the color scheme is dark mottled green chiten on lighter green chiten. And yes, those are extra arms on their back, and yes, she does have them. How do you think she's so good at Stealth/Getting away quickly?]

.....After you have had time to process such a sight, you go through her belongs and first retrieve all her Pokeballs that contain a Beautifly, Shedninja, Yanmega, and Volcarona, all of Arial's Pokémon, and Mina's Rimbobee. These Pokémon have a + 6 Loyalty and Happiness towards their master, and 5 Disobediance when you try to command/order them around, and Risuko Berries will not work on them (They will refuse to eat them). Towards Arial, the Disobedience is lessened to 4, and their is a small chance they will accept Risuko Berries. The next items you find are 3 Potions, 1 Guard Specs , 1 X Speed , 1 Smoke Ball (In this campaign, they can be smashed on the ground to create a thick Smokescreen perfect for getting away) , and 3 Full Heals. No sign of Arial's Items, however.

Petrel is currently investigating the lower floors for any hidden caches/booby traps/'unwanted guests' , Angelica's doing a more thorough investigation of the floor you are on, Kyubi is currently hovering right beside you and unsubtly snarling at the sleeping saguine serial spree slayer with barely restrained malice in her eyes, and Emily is glaring at them with fully unrestrained contempt/hatred. Rhyxemplar (+Mina and Luxelong) is on the lower floor patroling with your best friend, as getting him up the stairs without collapsing them was a fool's errand indeed, while Weavile and Felica were doing their own frisking and shake down off the warehouse, since it appears that you and 'Reiner' have thing well under control (I'll do a roll for whatever Items when you decide to leave). Yang, of course, is currently Wrapped around them with a aloof yet sastified expression on their face.

Now what?

[Spiritmon]

Arial almost couldnt believe what happen. His plan INDEED work! When everyone finally enter the room Arial hold the pipes in his shoulder and say: "Yo people! Took you long enough." He flip his pipe like a master and put in the other shoulder. "But thanks a lot for rescue me." Then Arial looks to the Vampire. "Ehh, anyone have something strong to restrained her? Chains, titanium, a strong rope, web, anything? I think she is sleeping for a hour or two, so we might take our time. And can you give back my pokemon please?"

Action: Bring all Arial Pokemons out of the pokeballs to see if them all okay!

[Dragonstrike]

'Mew' takes a moment to converse with 'Reiner' about what to do and say here.

"I think you'll find Yang is more than tight enough for now.  Beedrill also knows String Shot, but she's friends with the Vampire, so it's 50-50 on if she'd help.  Anyways...guess you're not completely incompetent after all.  I wouldn't try pushing your luck too much, though."

'Reiner' then hands over Arial's pokemon (and I assume Gaspar rushes out of the shadows as well), then releases Mina's Ribombee, who 'Mew' takes a moment to talk to (if she's conscious, of course).

'You okay, Ribombee?'

To the 4th wall:

'Hey, I thought Windos took Beautifly away?

(Well, yes and no.  He altered events slightly so Shedinja came back to retrieve her while everyone was distracted.  So...yeah.)

'Great...well, at least we didn't have to fight her again...'

Like you predicted, Gaspar bolts from the shadows and pounces straight onto their master soon after you return his Pokemon, partially Transforming themselves by stretching their limbs to completely envelope your chest in an all to happy hug. They butted their head against your chest several times and let out the most concerned, worried, and relieved *Puuuuurrrrrrr......* you have ever heard them emit, as if to reassure themselves that, yes, they were safe, unharmed, and with all their blood inside their body.

The madman was able to still manuaver his arms enough to use the holographic interface on his Pokeballs, and found that all but Baltazar (Who was still KOed) were in perfect health and condition.  The Vampire either didn't have time mess with his Pokémon, or for some reason elected to leave them well enough alone. Hmm...

With Reiner, unfortunately Ribombee is Fainted when you summon them, passed out from what appears to be multiple nicks and cuts all across their tiny body - most likely from Beautifly's Air Cutter attack. No Lethal Damage, however, so they'll make a full recovery by tomorrow morning if nothing else goes amiss.

It was then that you- and only you- heard my voice once more, its smooth lyical tone worming its way into your earholes once more.

Hehehe.....poor Riza, brought down by a old piece of plumping, instead of the frantic battle she was expecting and preparing for. Then again, her life could be considered the definition of misfortunate, so I suppose this is just another failure in a long string of bad luck the little cockroach has suffered through. Rather quant way to be put down, though, wouldn't you agree?

Oh no, not-

Hush now, Windos. You'll get the chance to speak once the important people have finished their conversation, hehehe.....

Since the jester has managed to defeat Riza, I suppose you'd like to know more about her Cursed Arm in your hoard of items, little drake? Or perhaps you'd care to learn more about her.....hmm, well, let's call it distinct race for now! Its appropriate term as any, given I doubt you ever seen a human being quite like her, eh? HeheheheHA!

Welp, back into the pokeball Ribombee goes, then.

Now, back to the situation at hand...

'Well, spill the beans about this 'Riza' then.  Don't have all night.'

Hmm...

Arial hugs back the little Duplicat who was worry too by his brother in crime. "Sorry to make you worry Gaspar." When Arial hear the *Puuurrrrr* Gaspar was making Arial blush a little then replied back. "Hah, I gladly to see you too Gaspar...but please can you stop hugging me? You are making feel embarassing a bit." 

"Thanks Arceus, Aotios and Mutios! They are all okay. Whooosh. Expect for Baltazar, it seems they are all okay. Only Baltazar seems to be KOed, but thats it. A good rest might help him to feel better." Another question pops in his head. "If you are all here, thats mean you all defeat that big mosquito." Arial was really surprise. Or not. "Heh, it seems you dont really need a bodyguard after all." Arial sgrugle his shoulders.
