[15:32] <@Kaingaskhan> Chapter 4 - The Sparkling Demon
[15:35] <@Kaingaskhan> Morning has arrived in Crystal Grove, and it is definitely not as sleepy as Oakbridge or Loamvil. The citizenry get up early and get to work, though some are delaying their trips out until some of the local demons are taken care of by the nice people who've stopped in. If the area could be summarized in a single word, it'd be... well, green. The hilly countryside with lush forests is
[15:35] <@Kaingaskhan> some of the deepest shades of green you've ever seen, with the local flora being well-trimmed and cared for. The stark white buildings really stand out among it all as well.
[15:36] <@Kaingaskhan> The four of you have decided to go demon-hunting, and I believe you wished to start with the golem that's on patrol. I want all of you to roll me two skills of your choice, and tell me how you're using those skills to gather information or otherwise prepare.

01[15:38] <Lekha> 5d6 occult let's do some reeeeeeeeeeeeesearch on golems
[15:38] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, occult let's do some reeeeeeeeeeeeesearch on golems: 18 [5d6=1,2,3,6,6]
[15:39] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 5d6 Stealth to tail this Golem from a distance for a while and gather intel on its general route and behaviours; 3d6 Survival for determining a good spot to place a trap and for setting up the trap
[15:39] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, Stealth to tail this Golem from a distance for a while and gather intel on its general route and behaviours: 11 [5d6=3,2,1,3,2]; Survival for determining a good spot to place a trap and for setting up the trap: 14 [3d6=3,5,6]
01[15:40] <Lekha> 4d6 intuition; let's think up the best way to lure the golem into the trap!
[15:40] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, intuition: 13 [4d6=6,2,1,4]
[15:40] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo's planning to tail it on his own and run if it notices, of course
[15:41] <Somalakshmi> 5d6 Occult for golem knowledge; 3d6 Guile because I think that's the investigation skill to ask around for more info?
[15:41] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, Occult for golem knowledge: 23 [5d6=5,6,4,2,6]; Guile because I think that's the investigation skill to ask around for more info?: 10 [3d6=4,4,2]
[15:41] <@Kaingaskhan> Could use Charm!
[15:41] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> The kind of trap I'm aiming for, of course, is a pit trap to trap the big thing
[15:41] <@Kaingaskhan> Guile is useful for getting information that's usually kept on the low down.
[15:41] <Somalakshmi> in that case
[15:41] <Somalakshmi> 1d6 more for charm
[15:41] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, more for charm: 2 [1d6=2]
[15:43] <@Kaingaskhan> And Tawny?
[15:49] <Iltani> Tawny is putting that crafting brain of hers to work, improvising a high-tensile tripwire.
[15:49] <Iltani> 3d6 Tech
[15:49] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, Tech: 10 [3d6=4,3,3]
[15:49] <@Kaingaskhan> Okay, and your second skill?
06[15:51] * Iltani also tries to figure out the subtleties of its patrol pattern, for signs of how it could be influenced.
[15:51] <Iltani> 4d6 PErception
[15:51] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, PErception: 14 [4d6=3,2,3,6]
[15:53] <@Kaingaskhan> Okay, now let's put this all together...
[15:53] <@Kaingaskhan> also what is the tripwire tripping?
[15:54] <Iltani> A golem, of course. It's surprising what you can do out of common materials to make them durable as hell.

[15:54] <@Kaingaskhan> A more literal kind of tripwire then
[15:54] <Iltani> :)
03[15:56] * PsychoRoll (~PsychoRol@Rizon-A8A735F2.cl.ri.cox.net) has joined #SuikoPokemonIC
[16:02] <@Kaingaskhan> Soma and Lekha know that golems are magical constructs created to follow orders. When first developed, they tend to be emotionless creatures that follow whatever commands they've given to the letter, but over a period of years and interaction with humans, they often grow personalities of a sort. Some tend to hate this 'feature' and decomission the golems after signs of this appear,
[16:02] <@Kaingaskhan> others are kept around. These are Goletts and Golurks, as well as other types of creatures, not to be confused with Golems, the rock type pokemon. It's hard to imagine how a golem that's been trapped underground for an unknown period of time will react to... well, anything. It's possible that it's regressed to an earlier state of mind, though. In addition, Soma also knows that the seals
[16:02] <@Kaingaskhan> on these creatures' chests keep their stability in check, and they can become erratic if those are destroyed.
[16:05] <@Kaingaskhan> Next up! Soma talks to some of the townsfolk and learns the golem's patrol pattern. It patrols each day predictably, starting each day in the cave that Almathea apparently unwittingly freed it from, and travels north, along the shore. Wherever it goes, it comes back, then leaves for the north again, repeating this loop a total of five times a day.
[16:06] <@Kaingaskhan> Katsuo and Iltani use this information to track the creature, with Iltani staying at an extreme distance, and Katsuo staying up close.
[16:10] <@Kaingaskhan> Its route is... odd to say the least. The creature, a purple Golurk whose body is covered in tiny purple crystalline structures, stomps along a path that would normally take one to a fishing dock to the north (which is currently closed due to demonic activity). It detours however into a nearby forest with low visibility, and takes odd, inconvenient pathways, stopping at obstructions
[16:10] <@Kaingaskhan> for several moments, seemingly lost in thought before rerouting itself. Its trail stops at an unremarkable peninsula a good ways to the north of town, when it stops, turns on the spot, and waits, standing at attention, for about an hour. Then, it relieves itself and begins making a similar trek southward once more.
[16:11] <@Kaingaskhan> If Katsuo had to note specific behaviors... it seemed... frustrated with the obstructions in its way, making weird, agitated 'beepboops'
[16:12] <@Kaingaskhan> Iltani makes note of the various obstructions that bothered it. Fallen trees, boulders, deep streams.
[16:14] <@Kaingaskhan> Getting this information back to Lekha, her thoughts turn to whoever must have made the golem and why it's patroling where it is. Was there something else here, long ago? Was it patroling some ancient, long-forgotten city for signs of intruders? ...Maybe that information could be used to your group's advantage.
[16:15] <@Kaingaskhan> If you alter its path by moving a few bits of natural debris, there's a nice, small clearing you could set an ideal ambush spot in.
[16:17] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Hmmmm, sounds good.  Since this clearing isn't part of its natural path, he could have Jubei set something up without worrying about it not doing it quickly enough, and then reroute it after the pit is set up.
06[16:17] * Iltani thinks on this. "Somehow, I think trapping it might be less than an ideal solution than parleying with it, if we only knew how to communicate with it."
[16:19] <@Kaingaskhan> You do know, however, that this thing has been attacking anyone it comes across on sight.
[16:19] <@Kaingaskhan> Luckily, there's been no casualties yet that you know of.
[16:19] <@Kaingaskhan> All of you, occult checks.
[16:20] <Iltani> Against her better judgment, Iltani decides to consult Amalthea regarding where she found it. It might serve as a vital clue to influencing it.
[16:20] <Iltani> 1d6 what is occult
[16:20] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, what is occult: 5 [1d6=5]
[16:20] <Somalakshmi> 5d6
[16:20] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, 5d6: 11 [5d6=3,4,1,1,2]
[16:20] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 3d6
[16:20] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, 3d6: 14 [3d6=4,5,5]
01[16:21] <Lekha> 5d6 occult
[16:21] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, occult: 21 [5d6=3,6,5,5,2]
[16:28] <@Kaingaskhan> Katsuo has his own shinobi experience to fall back on. ..this thing was created for a specific purpose that it's still following. CAN it even disobey its directives, undoubtably ingrained by some ancient magic? Lekha - You -might- be able to communicate with this thing via your Listening Crystal. ...Parleying with demons isn't -completely- unheard of. But it would be quite difficult.
[16:28] <@Kaingaskhan> It's not just a golem doing its job, it's a golem that's become a Demon. Creatures so affected usually become hazardously vicious. Rune-bonding it with a capture ball might be an easier option, but would require fighting it.
[16:33] <Somalakshmi> "Isn't the mission to subdue it and collect the bounty? Why should we try to parley with it?"
01[16:33] <Lekha> "Because it'll still be subdued if we do it with words, right?"
[16:33] <@Kaingaskhan> Iltani - Ames doesn't hesitate in showing you the cavern, rather excitedly. The entrance is a vertical shaft with collapsed natural rock that miraculously made a ramp out. The entrance is right above a rather rough segue into a different cavern. Almathea mentions they were testing experimental gunpowder bombs to clear passages, and this shit happened. She rambles on a bit as she leads
[16:33] <@Kaingaskhan> you further into the cavern, which... seems to merge into some kind of ruins. All that's really left is a large stone coffin with a marker on it resembling the Golurk's seal.
[16:34] <Iltani> "There were no writings in the cavern?"
[16:34] <@Kaingaskhan> ...It seems this might have been part of Sindarin ruins at some point.
[16:34] <@Kaingaskhan> She shakes her head. "Nothing we could find anyway. Or maybe we blew them to hell. It's amazing this part survived this long, really.
[16:34] <@Kaingaskhan> "
[16:35] <Iltani> "Hm...maybe if it recognized the seal on the coffin..."
[16:35] <@Kaingaskhan> "There isn't all that much evidence of much beyond a small building here with this 'coffin', so I'd guess it's maybe an outpost that was used to store the Guardian for a time."
[16:35] <Iltani> "Do you think we could get a pressing of that seal in clay?"
[16:38] <@Kaingaskhan> "Yeah, probably!"
[16:38] <@Kaingaskhan> "I'll make a run back to town and check our supplies."
[16:39] <Iltani> "If nothing else, we can use its recognition of the seal to draw it elsewhere."
01[16:42] <Lekha> "I'll make sure I've got everything in order..."
[16:53] <@Kaingaskhan> Alright then. so the plan seems to be...
[16:54] <@Kaingaskhan> 1. Making a copy of the seal on the Golurk's stone coffin in an attempt of recognition.
[16:54] <@Kaingaskhan> 2. Attempt to parley with it somehow.
[16:55] <@Kaingaskhan> 3. Failing that, lure it into the trap previously crafted.
[16:55] <@Kaingaskhan> That sound right?
[16:55] <Iltani> Yep
[16:58] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> mmmhmmm
06[16:59] * Somalakshmi isn't very confident in this plan but she'll go with it.
01[17:00] <Lekha> It's always worth a try!
[17:02] <@Kaingaskhan> Okay then. Ames gets you one Clay Seal Pressing. Once soft, it's been left out in the sun a bit to harden up and won't misshapen. Meanwhile, everyone rigs up the Plan B trap. A bit of pit digging - perhaps even aided by some Rototilling - and then camouflaged with a high-strength tensile tripwire. Everyone give me your best Stealth checks to hide the pit.
[17:02] <Somalakshmi> 2d6
[17:02] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, 2d6: 8 [2d6=6,2]

[17:03] <@Kaingaskhan> Katsuo!
[17:04] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 5d6
[17:04] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, 5d6: 17 [5d6=4,5,5,1,2]
[17:04] <@Kaingaskhan> A grand total of....39! Easily passing the 35 threshold.
[17:06] <@Kaingaskhan> Katsuo knows his way around a good pit trap. Once it's dug, he arranges a nice weave of branches and leaves to make it look natural. Payasam helps by spreading some silk webbing to bind it together. Levante and Euphemia even pitch in, carrying big (for their tiny sizes) piles of leaves and tossing them out. ...Actually, they're starting to throw leaves at each other. It looks more like
[17:06] <@Kaingaskhan> they're playing with the trap materials than working with them. :3c But in the end, the cover is set.
[17:07] <@Kaingaskhan> About when you finish, you see something approaching! ...Wait, it's not the golemn, it's Cornell.
03[17:07] * Kaingaskhan is now known as SuikoGM
06[17:08] * Lekha tosses some leaves at him anyway. SNEAK ATTACK!!!!!!11
[17:08] <@SuikoGM> "Pfffffffbbbbbttbtbt!"
[17:08] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Greetings."
[17:09] <@SuikoGM> He flails a bit uselessly at the swarm of leaves, almost seemingly bowled over by them. He blinks once, twice in wonder, before scooping up a handful and tossing them back at Lekha with a grin on his face.
[17:10] <Iltani> "The golem could be here any moment now. Is everyone prepared?"
01[17:10] <Lekha> "Gotta be on guard if you're hunting!" says the worst hunter ever.
01[17:10] <Lekha> "Yep!"
[17:10] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "I am ready."
[17:11] <@SuikoGM> ""Greetings! Sorry if I'm interrupting anything. I was told you were out here dealing with some of the demons Ms. Almathea needed help with. The Vice Captain doesn't need me at the moment, and... the topic of these creatures rather interests me. Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens... I've started a journal, but I don't have any entries yet."
[17:11] <@SuikoGM> "Would... you mind if I stayed here?"
[17:11] <Somalakshmi> "That's a bit..."
[17:11] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "So long as you try not to get yourself killed."
01[17:11] <Lekha> "Nope! But you're going to, you know, run if things get dangerous, right?"
[17:12] <@SuikoGM> "If it comes to it! Hopefully with the rest of you in tow." He frowns. "I'd hate to see anything happen to you lot. I'd like to help where I can before it comes to that."
[17:13] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "If you are sure of yourself."
[17:13] <Iltani> "Things will probably be okay. It's not the first time I have had to deal with a demon."
[17:14] <@SuikoGM> "I'm certainly not as well-seasoned as the rest of you no doubt are, but.. I'll try to start out of everyone's way."
[17:15] <Somalakshmi> "I suppose I don't mind too much, but..."
01[17:15] <Lekha> "It's good that you're confident, at least."
[17:15] <@SuikoGM> "Is something wrong?"
01[17:15] <Lekha> "Isn't that right, Soma?"
01[17:15] <Lekha> "....Ohhhhhhhhhhh."
01[17:15] <Lekha> "Hmmm."
[17:16] <@SuikoGM> It's definitely true that the rest of you have seen Soma's transformation, where Cornell has not.
06[17:17] * Lekha glances over at the others, fidgets.
[17:18] <Somalakshmi> "If I'm going to be able to fight at my full power, there's something you'll have to understand, Cornell."
[17:19] <@SuikoGM> He looks a bit confused and concerned.
[17:21] <Somalakshmi> "Sometimes in life, there are parts of ourself we'd rather not share if we can help it."
[17:22] <Somalakshmi> "Especially when you're a lady who likes to maintain a certain image."
06[17:22] * Lekha wisely doesn't comment.
01[17:22] <Lekha> Oh look, the sky sure is blue.
06[17:22] * KatsuoOfTsukinoshi also keeps quiet
[17:23] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> off in the corner with Lekha
[17:23] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> wonderful weather today
[17:23] <Somalakshmi> "My style of fighting isn't particularly beautiful... and having these kinds of rare runes sometimes ends up bringing trouble."
[17:23] <@SuikoGM> "..." he looks a bit solemn. "I... think I may understand to some degree. If there's something about your fighting style that you're uncomfortable with others seeing, I'll keep it in the strictest confidence. You have my word."
[17:24] <Somalakshmi> "Not even to Sumeru. You understand, don't you?"
[17:25] <@SuikoGM> "As long as it won't bring harm to her."
[17:25] <@SuikoGM> He nods.
06[17:25] * Somalakshmi shakes her head. "You don't have to worry about that."
[17:25] <@SuikoGM> "Not even to Lady Sumeru, then."
[17:26] <Somalakshmi> "Despite how it might appear... I'm more in control of myself than ever when I'm like that."
[17:26] <@SuikoGM> He tilts his head a bit.
[17:26] <@SuikoGM> Iltani - perception.
01[17:26] <Lekha> "Personally, I think you're really pretty all the time!"
01[17:26] <Lekha> :>
[17:26] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Your grace and poise is preserved regardless."
06[17:28] * Somalakshmi smiles. "You flatter me."
[17:28] <Iltani> 4d6 PErception
[17:28] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, PErception: 9 [4d6=1,5,1,2]
[17:29] <@SuikoGM> You're almost blinded by the conversation and Cornell's appearance long enough, but you notice in time - the golurk is making its way towards the forest from the north.
[17:30] <Iltani> "Go! It's here!"
06[17:30] * Iltani hides away, in safe shooting distance.
[17:30] <Somalakshmi> "Time to begin the mission."
[17:31] <@SuikoGM> Alrighty! What'd you do with the seal?
[17:31] <@SuikoGM> Cornell looks a bit alarmed and jumps in the bushes.
06[17:32] * Iltani probably handed it off to Lekha.
[17:33] <@SuikoGM> Position your characters!
[17:33] <@SuikoGM> And make a scribble somewhere where you put the pit trap. a 3x3 let's say.
06[17:35] * Somalakshmi touches her chest and says the command word, "Parivartana.", turning herself into her dark demoness form before fleeing into the treeline
[17:37] <@SuikoGM> The Guardian stomps into the clearing, having been rerouted by a simple fallen tree. Up close, the massive purple creature has armor coated in the strange, crystal-like substance that gives its entire body that eerie tint. Electricity runs up and down the sword embedded on its right hand, and a lightning rune is attached to its forehead.
[17:38] <@SuikoGM> Katsuo and Lekha are both out in the open, right?
[17:38] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Right
01[17:40] <Lekha> yep
[17:40] <@SuikoGM> It notices the both of you immediately, and lets out an alarming series of "BEEEEEORRRRP" noises, followed by raising its sword arm and beginning to approach.
[17:41] <@SuikoGM> Anything you'd like to do?
06[17:41] * Lekha raises the symbol and activates the listening rune. "We are friends! We just want to talk!"
[17:42] <@SuikoGM> Roll Intuition to channel the Demon.
01[17:45] <Lekha> 4d6
[17:45] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, 4d6: 8 [4d6=4,1,1,2]
[17:45] <@SuikoGM> Your Listening Rune shines, but...
[17:45] <@SuikoGM> Something strange happens.
01[17:49] <Lekha> o no!
[17:51] <@SuikoGM> Normally, you form an empathic bond that allows you to communicate with a pokemon without sharing words. In fact, very few Pokemon actually speak. It's even easier when the subject is willing. But this... this is like... imagine if you were guiding a constant stream of water to hit a wall that seemed to deflect water away from it. The wall would still get wet, but the water would get
[17:51] <@SuikoGM> everywhere else, too. You feel your concentration sort of slipping, and the rest of the humans present get 'splashed' so to speak, affected by an unintentional feedback of trying to channel this thing. The result is... well, you're not Channeling the Pokemon in the mechanical sense, but its BEEEEEEORPS suddenly sound a bit more intelligible. To all of you, not just Lekha. "BEEEEEEORP."
[17:51] <@SuikoGM> "BEEEEE- INTRUDER DETECTED. VANDALIZED PROPERTY WILL BE RECOVERED AND REPAIRED. ALL TRESPASSERS WILL BE DEALT WITH HARSHLY."
[17:51] <Iltani> "....so much for subtlety."
[17:52] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "It was worth a try."
[17:52] <@SuikoGM> It keep moving towards Lekha, eyes fixated on the copy of the seal.
[17:53] <@SuikoGM> 2d6 acrobatics
[17:53] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, acrobatics: 3 [2d6=1,2]
[17:53] <@SuikoGM> Aaaand that's when it hits the tripwire, sending it crashing down into that pit.
[17:54] <@SuikoGM> Oh, and by the way, the group is now under the Group Listening status, and is able to understand the otherwise unintelligible creature for now. ...For all the good this means now, what exactly IS this?
[17:54] <@SuikoGM> Combat!
[17:55] <@SuikoGM> Give me some speeds!

[18:18] <@SuikoGM> ...You all have the strange (though familiar to any of you who have fought demons before) sensation of understanding, comprehending the supernatural effects it's undergoing!
[18:18] <@SuikoGM> Creation Aura - Allows the creation of allies to aid it.
[18:19] <@SuikoGM> Lesser Law Aura - The possessor may declare one rule at a time. Failure to follow this rule allows the possessor to make a free Struggle attack from any distance.
[18:19] <@SuikoGM> Crystal Aura - Anyone touched by Crystal Dust takes an additional 5 damage from Electric attacks per stack of Crystal Dust. Any target who has ten stacks of Crystal Dust is immediately slain and transformed into a minion controlled by the possessor of this aura. A stack of Crystal Dust may be removed as if it were a status effect of any type. Something that removes multiple status
[18:19] <@SuikoGM> effects removes three stacks of Crystal Dust.

[20:29] <@SuikoGM> It then follows up with After You!

[20:32] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, the good thing about being the only one attacking is that it's easy to find your damage rolls: 23 [2d6=5,1]
[20:33] <@SuikoGM> It shudders from the pounding! Cornell gives Euphemia a tiny knuckle bump.
[20:33] <@SuikoGM> Levante!
01[20:34] <Lekha> 420poundit

[20:40] <@SuikoGM> He cancels his Magnet Rise and lands on the ground, being tingled by the shocks.

01[20:41] <Lekha> oh

[20:42] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> sec
[20:43] <@SuikoGM> It's okay, because Joy interrupts anyway.
[20:43] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He uses a full-round action to apply a Potion to himself!  +20 HP!
[20:43] <@SuikoGM> Oh, nevermind.
[20:43] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Oh?
[20:43] <@SuikoGM> Go for it :V
[20:43] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> that's his turn

[20:50] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, 2d6+8+11: 24 [2d6=4,1]
[20:50] <@SuikoGM> As Lekha rends her spell across the golem...
[20:50] <@SuikoGM> SOMETHING SEEMS TO BREAK
[20:50] <@SuikoGM> Pokeball protection broken!
[20:51] <@SuikoGM> http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=3cKy5Qk0QMM&p=n
[20:52] <@SuikoGM> Iltani!
06[20:53] * Iltani sims down the sights of her revolvers, emptying the cylinders into the crystal soldier.
[20:53] <Iltani> 1d20+2 Aimed Bullseye
[20:53] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, Aimed Bullseye: 20 [1d20=18]
[20:53] <@SuikoGM> CRIT
[20:53] <@SuikoGM> I think?
[20:54] <Iltani> 6d6+24+16 CRITDAMAGE
[20:54] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, CRITDAMAGE: 57 [6d6=4,2,2,3,3,3]
[20:54] <@SuikoGM> You blow a chunk of its shoulder off!
[20:54] <@SuikoGM> Payasam!
[20:55] <Somalakshmi> Payasam gonna screw the rules and just rush in to bug bite it.
[20:55] <Somalakshmi> 1d20+2 for flanking
[20:55] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, for flanking: 7 [1d20=5]
[20:55] <@SuikoGM> BAM
[20:56] <Somalakshmi> 2d8+10+5
[20:56] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, 2d8+10+5: 23 [2d8=3,5]
[20:57] <@SuikoGM> It seems to grow further and further confused as its body breaks apart from the repeated blows.
[20:57] <@SuikoGM> "DIRECTIVE... UNCLEAR."
[20:57] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Now would be a good time for an Apricorn ball."
[20:57] <@SuikoGM> Cornell sings another Song of Life!
[20:57] <@SuikoGM> +5 DR to people within four meters!
[20:58] <@SuikoGM> 1d20 confusion check
[20:58] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, confusion check: 20 [1d20=20]
[20:58] <@SuikoGM> It swipes a hesitant Fire Punch at Cornell.
[20:58] <@SuikoGM> 1d20
[20:58] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, 1d20: 15 [1d20=15]
[20:58] <@SuikoGM> 3d8+10+21
[20:58] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, 3d8+10+21: 46 [3d8=7,6,2]
[21:00] <@SuikoGM> From the hail of bullets, the Mercenary also falls backwards, its crystals shattering on impact with the ground, but releasing no dust.
[21:00] <@SuikoGM> It becomes a lifeless corpse once more.
[21:00] <@SuikoGM> Euphie!
[21:01] <Iltani> With the last of the bullets in her off-hand cylinder, she puts two more rounds into the corpse's head, making -damn- sure it will stay down.
01[21:02] <Lekha> Euphie again uses Cornell as a stepstool for beatdowns
01[21:02] <Lekha> 1d20 vine whip
[21:02] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, vine whip: 8 [1d20=8]

[21:03] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, se, with all the boosts that entails: 23 [2d6=4,2]
[21:04] <@SuikoGM> ANOTHER BAR SHATTERED
[21:04] <@SuikoGM> The golem reels, his armor literally crumbling. The most solid looking part is the metallic seal on his chest, and even that's starting to come undone.
[21:04] <@SuikoGM> Levante!
[21:08] <@SuikoGM> did Break have to go?
[21:09] <Somalakshmi> (yeah he mentioned it up earleir)
02[21:09] * Iltani (~null@Rizon-24221396.lsanca.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
03[21:10] * Break (~null@Rizon-24221396.lsanca.fios.verizon.net) has joined #SuikoPokemonIC
03[21:11] * Break is now known as Iltani
[21:11] <@SuikoGM> Levante!
[21:15] <Iltani> Levante attempts to smooth things over with her Disarming Voice!
[21:15] <Iltani> 1d20 critcheck
[21:15] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, critcheck: 3 [1d20=3]
[21:15] <@SuikoGM> shrieeeek
[21:16] <Iltani> 1d8+6+13 SPARKLES damage
[21:16] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, SPARKLES damage: 26 [1d8=7]
[21:17] <@SuikoGM> Levante gives the golem an earful! It doesn't like it!
[21:17] <@SuikoGM> Akemi!
[21:17] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 1d20 Leech Seed!
[21:17] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, Leech Seed!: 13 [1d20=13]
[21:17] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Seeded!
[21:17] <@SuikoGM> ZAP
[21:17] <@SuikoGM> Guardian!
[21:17] <@SuikoGM> Its health is drained...
[21:18] <@SuikoGM> 11 health to Akemi.
[21:18] <@SuikoGM> It awkwardly stumbles to your left and moves no further.
[21:18] <@SuikoGM> Joy passes!
[21:18] <@SuikoGM> Katsuo!
[21:19] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Waiting for Soma
06[21:19] * Somalakshmi touches her clawed fingertips to her lips and tosses a little pink kiss at the Guardian!
[21:19] <@SuikoGM> Soma!
[21:19] <Somalakshmi> 1d20 sweet kiss confuses if it hits
[21:19] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, sweet kiss confuses if it hits: 16 [1d20=16]
[21:20] <@SuikoGM> Confused!
[21:20] <@SuikoGM> Katsuo!
[21:20] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 1d20 Great Ball!
[21:20] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, Great Ball!: 16 [1d20=16]
[21:20] <@SuikoGM> Hit!
[21:20] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 1d100-10-7
[21:20] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, 1d100-10-7: 24 [1d100=41]
[21:20] <@SuikoGM> The ball flies from your hand and smacks the Golurk!
[21:21] <@SuikoGM> It pops open and a rune forms inside, shooting out beams of magic into the Guardian that reduce it to energy, and draw it into the ball.
[21:21] <@SuikoGM> The ball then snaps shut and drops to the ground, rolling back and forth.
[21:21] <@SuikoGM> Wiggle...
[21:21] <@SuikoGM> Wiggle...
[21:21] <@SuikoGM> POP!
[21:22] <@SuikoGM> The Crystal Guardian breaks out of the ball, reforming into physical form! But only for a scant moment. The strain is too much for its broken shell.
[21:22] <@SuikoGM> ...And the Seal on its chest comes undone.
[21:22] <@SuikoGM> The armor it wore, the main shell, crumbles to pieces, revealing...
[21:23] <@SuikoGM> A small Golett, crystal-blue, with purple glass tendrils running up and down his arms and legs. Its eyes are closed, seemingly asleep.
[21:23] <@SuikoGM> The last of the tainted crystal breaks apart
[21:24] <@SuikoGM> And the Golett is reabsorbed into the pokeball, as the Guardian's helmet, lightning rune and all, drops unworn to the ground.
[21:24] <@SuikoGM> With a snap, the atmosphere's pressure lightens.
[21:24] <@SuikoGM> Tension Break
[21:25] <@SuikoGM> Battle Over
06[21:25] * Iltani lets out Khazri briefly, allowing her to check out the sword.
06[21:26] * KatsuoOfTsukinoshi walks over and picks up the ball. "Mission accomplished."
06[21:26] * Lekha flops backwards. "Phew."
[21:26] <@SuikoGM> The ruins of the Crystal Guardian's armor lay spent on the ground. The weapon and the helmet remain, still seething with electricity, but not... corrupted by whatever demonic power once possessed the Golurk.
06[21:26] * Somalakshmi shapeshifts back into her human form.
[21:27] <Somalakshmi> "Feels good to rest..."
06[21:27] * KatsuoOfTsukinoshi checks out both sword and helmet
[21:27] <@SuikoGM> Cornell stares breathlessly at the sights, especially Soma, for several long seconds.
01[21:27] <Lekha> Euphie impatiently taps Cornell on the head, demanding fistbumps once more.
[21:27] <@SuikoGM> The sword... a rather large two-handed blade that was melded into the guardian's arm.
[21:28] <@SuikoGM> It definitely has some sort of power to it. Khazri is exhausted, but shows some meager interest.
[21:28] <@SuikoGM> The helmet still glows with a crackling lightning rune attached.
[21:28] <@SuikoGM> A human or a properly sized pokemon could wear it.
[21:28] <Iltani> "....if you can carry it and no one objects, I think you may be able to get some use out of it."
[21:29] <Somalakshmi> (can I identify the effects of the equipment with an occult check?)
[21:29] <@SuikoGM> Khazri doesn't object to carrying it back to town, either way.
[21:29] <@SuikoGM> You sure can!
[21:29] <@SuikoGM> Though as far as loot and experience...
[21:29] <@SuikoGM> I think I will have to postpone that.
[21:29] <Somalakshmi> 5d6 occult then
[21:29] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, occult then: 22 [5d6=3,4,5,6,4]
[21:30] <@SuikoGM> That will definitely be enough.
[21:30] <@SuikoGM> I'll get the effects to you guys later.
[21:30] <@SuikoGM> Khazri absorbs the entire damn sword into her person for now. The blade appears along her back and splits, appearing to be like wings, when unneeded.
[21:31] <Iltani> "...."
[21:31] <Iltani> "Well, then."
[21:31] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Nice."
01[21:31] <Lekha> "That's useful."
[21:31] <@SuikoGM> She tries to flap them and fly, but... just faceplants.
[21:31] <@SuikoGM> ...They're decorative, unfortunately.
[21:32] <Iltani> "...."
[21:32] <@SuikoGM> She quickly gets up and brushes herself off.
06[21:32] * Iltani sighs, and carries the poor Pawniard to save her the embarrassment.
[21:32] <@SuikoGM> No one saw that.
[21:32] <@SuikoGM> ...Everyone saw that.
06[21:32] * Iltani totally saw that, but says nothing of it.
06[21:33] * Lekha wasn't paying attention, and Euphie is still trying to get Cornell to recognize how awesome she is.
06[21:33] * KatsuoOfTsukinoshi saw it, but makes no note of it.
[21:33] <@SuikoGM> Cornell: "I... don't know what I expected, to be honest. From any of this. ..What a harrowing fight. And..." he glances at Soma a moment. "...goodness." He shakes his head, though, clearing it and gives Euphemia a bright smile. Maybe they'll work out some sort of secret handshake on the way back.
01[21:34] <Lekha> "I knew we could do it!"
01[21:34] <Lekha> "...Probably want to hold off on the sword dog for now though."
[21:34] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "We can do it, with the right preparations."
[21:35] <@SuikoGM> "Agreed, these creatures are certainly no joke. Though catching this one unawares was a good idea."
[21:35] <Somalakshmi> "We should head back and collect our reward for now. Get some rest as well."
[21:35] <@SuikoGM> "The injured needn't press on so hard."
[21:36] <@SuikoGM> "...I'll try my best to record useful information based on what we saw here."
[21:36] <@SuikoGM> "Let's head back, shall we?"
[21:36] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He's already on it.
[21:37] <Somalakshmi> "Best not to linger after a taxing battle."
[21:37] <Somalakshmi> (BUT FIRST)
[21:37] <Iltani> "A rest well earned, of course."
06[21:37] * Somalakshmi lets Sevai out to stretch his legs and see if he can find anything cool.
06[21:37] * Iltani starts on the long road back, not quite looking forward to breaking the good news to Amalthea.
[21:37] <Somalakshmi> 1d20 PICKUP DUEL GO
[21:37] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, PICKUP DUEL GO: 8 [1d20=8]
[21:38] <Iltani> As usual, she is either carrying or being hugged by all three of her Pokemon, and has more or less resigned herself to this fate until they evolve.
[21:38] <@SuikoGM> Is LEKHA going to use her Pickup?
[21:38] <Iltani> ....unless they still do this after they evolve. She shudders at the thought.
06[21:39] * KatsuoOfTsukinoshi hesitantly gives Akemi a pat well done. He's not sure if this is overdoing it, but she needs to be rewarded, yes?
[21:39] <@SuikoGM> Akemi squeals at the affection and leaps to your arms to hug your neck!
[21:39] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> O-okay.
[21:40] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He keeps her there as he walks back
[21:40] <@SuikoGM> Levante is chattering in some unintelligible pokelanguage to Mistral, probably gloating about that last bit of the fight.
01[21:41] <Lekha> 1d20 pickeps
[21:41] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, pickeps: 5 [1d20=5]
[21:41] <@SuikoGM> 1d100 shenonigons
[21:41] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, shenonigons: 72 [1d100=72]
[21:41] <@SuikoGM> 1d100 really?
[21:41] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, really?: 98 [1d100=98]
[21:41] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> [shenans intensify]
[21:43] <@SuikoGM> Sevai starts sniffing around, and finds a nice thicket of berries. He reaches up to pluck a few, but as it turns out, good old curious Lekha is peering over too. Sevai startles a bit and bumps Lekha, causing her to lose her balance! As a result, she accidentally pulls the bush back, ripping a cluster of dense foliage out to reveal a strange berry plant.
[21:43] <@SuikoGM> Sevai curiously phronks Soma over.
[21:44] <@SuikoGM> The plant has six nice, juicy red berries of a kind you've never seen before.
01[21:45] <Lekha> "Huhhh."
01[21:45] <Lekha> 3d6 poisonous?
[21:45] <PsychoRoll> Lekha, poisonous?: 7 [3d6=1,3,3]
[21:45] <@SuikoGM> Huh, no, you don't think so.
[21:46] <@SuikoGM> Mircle Berry x6 obtained! These are a special food ingredient that can change flavors or enhance existing food, rather than providing a digestion buff of their own. In other words, they're an Alchemy ingredient for Chefs. Hmm.
06[21:47] * Somalakshmi sighs with a smile. "I had a friend who would have known just what to do with these."
01[21:48] <Lekha> "Eat 'em, I guess."
06[21:48] * Lekha wraps them up in a handkerchief.
[21:48] <@SuikoGM> Split these up however you guys like
[21:49] <@SuikoGM> With that, the lot of you head back to the Dozing Snorlax, where you're greeted by the inn's owner, a young man named Alfred. Refreshments are immediately served while you wait on the town apothecary to get over and look at your wounds.
[21:49] <@SuikoGM> Treatment is on the house thanks to your service, and as you get ready to talk to Ames and co...
[21:49] <@SuikoGM> We will draw this chapter to a close.
[21:50] <@SuikoGM> Chapter 4 - The Sparkling Demon - End
