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

On the strange handheld device:

(As a certain yellow character once said...Doh, I missed!)

It's at this point that Seddi's inexperience with his undemonstrated until now skill bites him in the rear end.  He was trying to interface with it using his Spiritual Technomancy, but the strange workings of the device are just too confounding!  Akamu and Sylvia would see him fiddling with the handheld, trying to turn it on somehow, only to suddenly bring a hand up to his forehead in response to the onset of a killer headache.

"...okay...lesson learned...don't try that on complex devices without Leaves next time.  Owowowowow...what even is that thing made of...???"

Surely, that headache will go away on its own if he just gives it a moment, right?

Right?

>_>

"Alright, maybe we just...look at that one again tomorrow.  You had, uh...two critters you caught, right?  Hang on, before you send either of 'em out...let me prepare."

Seddi's intention is to have Rabsca set up Safeguard (oh, the irony...), Light Screen, and Reflect just in case the protections are needed, but Confused as he is, there's a non-zero chance that he doesn't even grab Rabsca's Pokeball in the first place...

...Nobody knows HOW, but you ended up with Sylvia in your hands, hoisted into the air over the table everyone was sitting in like Frikitiki held up Cindba the Litleo in the hit movie The Pyroar King, shouting at the top of your lungs:

"BY MY DECREE, USE YOUR AWESOME POWER TO PROTECT US ALL!!!"

Luck Dice: (2) Nope!
Luck Dice (Sylvia): (6) YES.

What happened from there was you ended up squishing the sunny esper a bit too hard in a ticklish/sensitive area, causing her to let out a squeak and a subsequently a small glimmering burst of light from her gem!

???
*Rolls...* 3 Successes, 2 Fails, Snake Eyes....

*Ping!* A Safeguard sprung into existence?! 
*Zing?* You're Trapped in a Semi-permeable (Air) Barrier with Sylvia?!
*Fwop* Sylvia grows in size and ends up completely smothering you beneath her!?!  + 1 Difficulty to any Checks involving Movement or Figuring out WHAT is going on!

If Sylvia is ticklish then any movement on Seddi's part is going to be hilarious - well, more so than they are now anyway!

Akamu is just left sitting their with Lani, both probably wondering what in the heck is happening now....

Sylvia is similarly flabbergasted, having *no* idea what just happened. ...Seddi? What just happened?

And yes, she's quite ticklish in the underbelly. Which isn't normally an issue, but... She's got a lot of underbelly now.

[Redstone]

He'd look over at Lani to confirm that she also just saw that, then slowly turn to face the unfortunate souls again..

''.....Maybe we'll take a look at the rest some other time, looks like the device got ya good.. Say are you guys feeling ok?...''

[Dragonstrike]

Seddi's response is a little muffled, given he's currently underneath an enlarged Sylvia.

"A little light headed, but mostly fine otherwise!"

...

"...that uh, wasn't what I was expectin' to happen though."

What was he expecting to happen, though?  He's not even sure himself...

"Ya mind moving, Sylvia?  Can't quite see anythin' that isn't purple right now."

He doesn't even know if Sylvia can move right now. He sure hopes so though!

Can't do much. We're balanced right now, but I fear we'll start to roll if I move. ...Do your best not to squirm, though, please...

''I do have an idea to get you two ouf of there, let's see.''

He'd point to an upper point of the sphere above the squashed pair.

''Steady yourselves, Lani use Bullet Punch EX on that spot to shatter it.''

No Rolls necessary for Lani’s BPEX : It crashes through the bubble Barrier like a Taurus through a china shop! No shields made by common Mon can resist her Defense shattering blows, even Psychically charged  (Pseudo Interaction) !

…Unfortunately, said destruction was NOT gentle by any means, causing the bubble to rumble and tumble before the blow caused it to disintegrate in a spectacular fashion!

Seddi’s Confusion!
*Rolls* Well that isn’t good…

This causes the cowboy to begin spazzing out and writhe like an Orthworm being cooked in da sun, all the stimulus triggering his Status something FIERCE!

Which translate to him mercilessly ‘attacking’  Sylvia’s belly in the most bizarre and intense tickle fest she ever had!

Sylvia’s Ticklish Trouble - + 1 Success due to larger than normal size! 7D6 Dice!
(5)(2)(3)(4)(5)(5)(1)(6) He he HA! Critical Tickled!

“*SNRT Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!” 

The Ursaring sized Esper burst out in laughter! Not just ANY kind to - hers sounded distinctly Human! She began wriggling around powerfully, smooshing Seddi even MORE and quickly devolving into gasping like a Goldeen between laughs! This in turn causes him to spazz out even MORE, Tickling her even harder, leading her to shake and roll even harder…. 

Folks, the two have entered into a Tickle Tackle Spiral. Access save them both. Sylvia is currently useless, and will because Exhausted and unable to help in the Encounter after this. Seddi take 5 Damage and ends up Paralyzed because of Sylvia pulling off impromptu ‘ Body Slams ‘ due to his Confusion induced tickling .

Sylvia can’t maintain her mental shields/inactivity in her state, and subsequently the [D a r k ] presence has unfiltered line to her. Only it hasn’t done anything - for it has become Confused (again) at everything that just happened! It seemed to have calmed down too, if only because this whole scene has caused it to blue screen trying to figure out How they’re supposed to interpret the Vibes and Energy of the room…

Akamu, you set this off - time to fix things the best you can before things can get even sillier! Well, Sylvia and Seddi can try to regain control too, however difficult that may prove to be.

Oh no no no, something was very very wrong here, better seperate them before Seddi dies the most unworthy death of all time. His behavior would finally tip him off to what is going on at least, gotta act fast.

He'd motion Lani to help seperate them and restrain Seddi before reaching into his backpack and trying to force feed him a Lum Berry.

Should the room be big enough Kayla is summoned to stand between them and the poor espeon to hold her off until the proceedure was done.

Should the room be big enough Kayla is summoned to stand between them and the poor espeon to hold her off until the proceedure was done.

First, let's see if Akamu figures out that Seddi is Confused, because there could be even Stranger reasons behind their sudden string of silliness!

INS Check: INS + Knowledge + Medicine + 1 Successes (Okay, It's sorta obvious)
(3)(1)(4) (6)(6) (2)(2) 4 Successes!

Okay, yup, you know that Seddi is DEFINATELY Confused and Paralyzed! Not in danger of dying of anything than embarrassment, though.

As for trying to stop the Tickle Tackle Spiral...

Grapple Check: Lani and Espeon!
STR + Fight + Brawl - 3 (How Funny!)  - 1 Success (Pseudo Weakness: Psychic Antics!) : Min 5 Successes needed to Succeed without Trouble!
(3)(1)(2)(1)(6) (1)(2)(5)(1)(4)(3) (5) - 1 = 1 Success...

'Counter' : (5)(5)(4)(4) + 1 (PW) = 5 

...Lani ends up Tickling Sylvia too with her clumsiness, causing the esper to Grapple her instead  with her AWESOME Psychic POWER and drawing her into the tickle fest, where by she's getting treated like a crunchy stress ball AND tinkled aaallll over with the Espeon's TK mirror the sensation onto the Pseudo to try and offload some of the hilarity! Your Pseudo Dragon is currently Useless, and will suffer - 1 Exhaustion + a LOT of humiliation after this is all said and done!

Summoning Kayla is completely viable - the Room is quite spacious! Doing so right in the midst of EVERYONE, however....

Aim Roll: 3+ 3 + 1 - 4 (Too many Thrashing Bodies!) + 2 Dice (SIZE) =5D6 Dice; Need 1 Success, but the more you get the less poor the outcome....
(5)(6)(6)(1)(5) 4 Succcesse!
Who's Horsing Around?: 1D6 Dice = 1 -2 is Seddi , 3 - 4 Sylvia , 5 - 6 Lani
(2) Seddi! Buckle up, broncho!

Kayla manages to get everyone seperated upon Summon, breaking up the Tickle Tackle Spiral! HOWEVER, she ends replacing Sylvia as she reappears right on him!

Heavy Slam
Accuracy: 'Sure Hit' , but DEX (3) + Fight (3) + Brawl (5) + 2 Action Dice (Single 'Action') for Crit Odds
(4)(5)(1) (2)(6)(1) (5)(3)(4)(1)(2) (4)(6) 7 - 1 ...

*SQUISH* Critical Hit!

Damage: STR (3) + *6 + 'SE' (Prone and Defenselss) - Defense (4) = 5D6 + 2D6 Damage!
(6)(3)(6)(4)(3) + (2)(4) Seddi takes 4 Damage; 3/12 HP , - 2 Pain!

Confusion Roll: INS (*1) + Knowledge (2) - 2 Pain - 1 Success (INS Malus) = 1D6 - 1 Dice
(4) 0 Successes

The bruised cowboy, in his Confusion and Pain, springs up from prone and ends up accidently tickling Kayla, who jolts and Instinctually Mule Kicks them! No Accuracy Roll; STR + 2 Damage!

(5)(5)(5)(3)(3) Seddi is sent flying into the wall, meeting it with a meaty *SLAM!* Cartoon Torchics are circling his head for a moment, eyes spinning, before the roll up as he peels off and lands on the floor with a *pwhump* !

The room goes silent as everyone else calms down from the hi-jinks that happened, though Sylvia may be so worn out by the Tickling she may be sick/need to go the ladies room. "HA HA HA....never.....do.....that....never," she says reflexively, not through Telepathy but verbally speaking Common! How she sounds I leave up to @Pokekitty2 , as well as how else she feels about everything...

...This was one real comedy of errors, eh? Still, nobody got killed or ended up doing something truly disasters, so all's well that ends well? 

Only the dusty cowboy is not out of it yet - thanks to some downright absurd Luck his body came into contact with the area of his Inventory his 2 Sitrus Berries were in, being pressed against them with enough force to end up transferring their healing energy into him somehow and keeping him Conscious with 3 HP ( - 2 Pain!) ! It'll be a bit of a Pain to clean that part of his Bag up later, but at least he can save on a Revive and get his Confusion/Paralysis treated ASAP by Akamu's gifted Lum!

Now, onto the next part - researching Akamu's odd, odd new captures....

Sylvia *really* doesn't like being tickled. It's made worse by the fact that it's nearly impossible to ask someone to stop - the laughter is reflexive, and explosive. And apparently also has side effects, she's learning.

She's crouched into one of the far corners of the room, trying to gather herself again. Her voice is almost human, distinctly female, and as close as one can get to "thoroughly pissed off" when one is thoroughly out-of-breath.

She's still not sure why she's now the size of the Mudsdale, but that can be figure out when she's got herself under control again.
...and there's still that... *thing* trying to reach out to her.
...fun.

Let's Begin: Magi Fight.

Original Post

...?

...???

 A troop of Rattata, lead by a few Raticate? Now if that doesn't sound like an all-you-can-eat buffet for Myra~. That tall, lanky, and robbed rat creature however is what spikes's Bernhard's interest and curiosity - though more in a morbid sense of 'I wonder what body parts I can extract from it to use for alchemy' than 'I wonder what sort of creature that is', and it couldn't be even more far from 'I wonder if this may be a new Pokemon companion'

Dozens and dozens of beady eyes don't impress or falter the Stoic Magus, not in the slightest. For a split second though, there's sort of a... smile on his face, one that means NOTHING good. In his tone of voice adressing the troop of rats, some amusement rings back. "Looking for a place more dry or safe, don't you?~ Well... You're in luck - or perhaps Y O U   A R E   N O T. "

With an overly dramatic snap of his Gauntlet'ed hand - compare Igor in this scene - Bernhard would trigger Myra's Drought Ability. She remains within her Dusk Ball however, we'll handle this via Evocation Spells from both Myra and Spritzee (the latter having his premiere of Bernhard using moves as spells from. If Morgana sure did know how to pick that particular Spritzee [a 'Mon from her very own fairy kin after all!], Bern cannot help but to be quite curious about how things go and what effects the unique moves proove to have).

(Init Rolls please!~ Battle via Scimitar Magic premiere, yippee! I'll follow anything I've written in chara sheet's 'Magic and Alchemy'-tab; if I happen to make any mistakes or something doesn't work like that, please do not hesitate to correct me!)

(...)

The rat creature frowns, meeting your insincere and sugary cheer with blunt, bitter displeasure. Your casual display of POWER, the sheer flagrant disregard you had not only towards it and its own but the very forces of Nature itself....you were not a mere nuisance. You were a Threat. One that must be dealt with promptly. It grips the piece of rebar - long as it was tall - it was using as a staff hard before slamming it down a couple of times on the rain drenched street.

"Rat rat, Rattarule."

From the rat troop 2 Raticates joined it,  crouched beside and angrily bruxing their huge teeth at you in a clear display of Intimidation.

The Heavy Rain abates as you bring a modest sum of your Arcane MIGHT to Trigger Drought via Myra -Weather has effectively been neutralized in this Encounter.

Will this be a good opportunity to vent your ire at all the CHAOS that has happened to you lately? Or have you Bitten off more than you could chew?

How about some experimentation to find out?

Initiatives:

Rattarule: DEX (5) + Survival (5) + Alert (5) + (6) = 21
Ratticate 1: DEX (3) + Survival (3) + Alert (3) + (5) = 14
Rattocate 2: *9 + (4) = 13
You: 4 + 2 + 2 + (10) = 20

Rattarule goes first, then You, then R1, and last R2

Trying to intimidate BERNHARD of all people? Not going to happen, least of all by two Raticate. He remains all stoic and calm, his subdued anger however still circulating within him and wanting to be VENT. ....."Very well then. You have asked for it, so you shall r e c e i v e."

Current Gauntlet Stress is 1, and [quoting something from my sheet]'Using your PKMN's moves aka Evocation ranges between 1 and 5 Stress'[end ofquote], so we're feeling like we could indeed GO ALL OUT.

EDIT: Any damage dealt shall go onto Spritzee first, before he's down to 2/3 of his 10HP.

EVOCATION: Spritzee's Spellbind! On Ratarule!

Accuracy: Bern's Strength (4) + Bern's Fight (3) + Spritzee's Brawl (0) - 2 Actions = 5d6
Damage: Spritzee's Special (2) + drawing Bern's own Special (2) + 1 power of the move = 5d6
Effects: Smol Spritzee's unique move! 3d6 for a random Status Ailment. Also a DoT-move.
Additional notes: Also functions as a magical grapple and prevents fleeing, unless the target has more Strength or Dext. This is no special move, so it won't trigger Spritzee's Intoxicate Ability.


EVOCATION: Spritzee's Helping Hand! On me!

Accuracy: Bern's Dext (4) + Bern's Fight (3) + Spritzee's Perform (0) - 4 Actions +1 of Spritzee's WIllpoints to make this move hit = 3d6 + (6)
Effect: +2 dice on my next rolls of Skill, Accuracy and Damage
Secondary Effect: This move also has +5 priority


...And finally:

EVOCATION: Myra's Flame Burst! On Ratarule!

Accuracy: Bern's Dext (4) + Bern's Fight (3) + Myra's Channel (3) + 2d6 from Helping Hand - 6 Actions = 6d6
Damage: Myra's Special (3) + drawing (2) from Bern's Special + 3 power + STAB + 2d6 from Helping Hand = 11d6
Secondary Effect: After damage is dealt, 1d6 of damage is rolled against two other targets, aka both Raticate


...And more firepower!

EVOCATION: Myra's Flamethrower! On Ratarule! (if they're fainted, target the more weakened Raticate (in case of tie, the one higer up in Init Order))

Accuracy: Bern's Dext (4) + Bern's Fight (3) + Myra's Channel (3) - 8 Actions = 2d6
Damage: Myra's Special (3) + drawing (2) from Bern's Special + 3 power + STAB = 9d6
Secondary Effect: 1CD to inflict Burn2 on the target.

(I'll get to the rest of your Post in a seperate one. Just want the Battle to be in its own thing for clearness' shake!)

(That's fine by me, no haste nor worries! Bern's second Minor Encounter also needs resolving, but that can indeed wait [it's been shopping for offers of one Kistune Crimson Rope and a pretty single flower as a gift for you-know-who.] Reminder, I'd like to save one of my Minor Encounters for the next day please.)
