  1. Jan 26 20:39:12 <StarmanTheta> In our last session, our party returned to Blossom Grove after trying in vain to find Dr. Marigold. But while they may have lost one, their return to the small town was met with cheers that reached to the heavens.
  2. Jan 26 20:39:57 <StarmanTheta> The group was allowed to rest, and in their time they managed to interrogate some of the late Fang's goons about his plans, as well as research a bit more abou the Fruit of Rebirth.
  3. Jan 26 20:41:14 <StarmanTheta> From what you found, it seems that this mysterious Fruit has the ability to return anything to its original state, but requires quite a few things. Starbuck, one of the starry-eyed Skiddo of the town, offered to take your group with him and the rest of the merchants as they set off to peddle wares around Mantine Bay, for there was a depository of special stones along the way.
  4. Jan 26 20:42:23 <StarmanTheta> Alas, though the journey was non-descript at first, coming to rocky terrain you encountered some humans who seem to be using mind controlled pokemon. While you were victorious in the battle and able to free the pokemon, one was gravely wounded in the fight and only barely clings to life due to Kailee's quick intervention.
  5. Jan 26 20:43:06 <StarmanTheta> So here you are now, with two unconscious humans, some confused pokemon, a wounded noibat, and the helicopter. Starbuck has returned with the rest of the merchants to at least get a stretcher for the poor noibat, but none of the group really knows what to make fo the situation.
  6. Jan 26 20:43:10 <StarmanTheta> And this is where we resume.
  7. Jan 26 20:44:50 <StarmanTheta> The humans are starting to come too, very groggily.
  8. Jan 26 20:44:56 * Scabbard makes sure the Noibat is set on the stretcher properly, and has given Arthur some of his bandages to try and help. He's currently trying to distract himself with his yarn ball, though ever so often he starts muttering a half improvised prayer under his breath for the things health.
  9. Jan 26 20:45:03 <StarmanTheta> The noibat is whimpering weakly.
  10. Jan 26 20:45:21 * Getter moves toward the Humans. "They're waking up everyone, be on guard."
  11. Jan 26 20:45:52 * Arthur- whispers assurances softly, figuring he's not much help in an interrogation.
  12. Jan 26 20:45:58 * Scabbard glares at the humans. He is also wearing one of their hats, now.
  13. Jan 26 20:47:09 <StarmanTheta> The woman comes too first, and tries to sit up, wincing a bit. "O-ok! You win, don't hurt us!"
  14. Jan 26 20:47:33 * Kailee spends her time doing what she can for the poor Noibat, making sure her condition doesn't worsen from the movement.
  15. Jan 26 20:47:37 * Getter is once more wearing his tatters, not like it matters all things considered. "...It is to late for that, we simply won't do it anymore."
  16. Jan 26 20:47:48 <Scabbard> "I'm not going to. I believe I managed to do so sufficiently earlier."
  17. Jan 26 20:47:57 <Carbink> "Tell us who you are and what are you doing here."
  18. Jan 26 20:48:04 <Arthur-> "Well, they probably deserve much worse, but..."
  19. Jan 26 20:48:40 <StarmanTheta> "We were just--" The man interjects, "You don't need to tell them our business! They're just pokemon"
  20. Jan 26 20:49:11 <Getter> "Pokemon that have decided to do you no harm. When all things considered we have every reason to."
  21. Jan 26 20:49:30 <Getter> "I do believe you should tell us why you are here...or we shall assume the worst of you."
  22. Jan 26 20:49:39 <Carbink> "Oh no, we savage uncultured pokemon might decide to eat you up if you don't cooperate."
  23. Jan 26 20:50:23 <StarmanTheta> >Kailee: The noibat doesn't seem to be waking up, but she doesn't seem to be worsening from the movement, thankfully. The skiddo carrying the stretcher are being as gentle as they can, and assure you as much.
  24. Jan 26 20:50:56 * Arthur- has a lightbulb moment. "Oh, right." He goes over and starts examining what he guessed earlier was surveying equipment.
  25. Jan 26 20:51:08 <StarmanTheta> "I-I don't want to be eaten!" the woman yelps. "We were just--it was just orders!"
  26. Jan 26 20:51:30 <Arthur-> 4d6+3 tech edu
  27. Jan 26 20:51:30 <CritSenpai> tech edu: 14 [4d6=2,5,1,3]
  28. Jan 26 20:51:33 <Scabbard> "From?"
  29. Jan 26 20:51:39 <Kailee> Upon ensuring that the Noibat was in competent hands for now, Kailee makes her way back to the others in case they needed her. The battle went fairly well so that was doubtful, but still.
  30. Jan 26 20:51:58 <StarmanTheta> Taking a closer look, it is indeed surveying equipment. It also has some tools for taking soil samples and picking cave rock.
  31. Jan 26 20:53:03 <StarmanTheta> The man rolls his eyes. "Ugh, I can see THIS is going nowhere. Fine; our commanding officer sent us to survey this cave, then report back to him. That is it. Then you animals had to come and ruin everything."
  32. Jan 26 20:54:30 <Carbink> "Who is your commanding officer and which organization?"
  33. Jan 26 20:56:34 <StarmanTheta> The man blinks, and smirks and shakes his head. "Oh, you poor stupid animals, if you can't even figure--" "DOMINION OF MAN, SURVEY CORPS 17, SUBORDINATES TO DEL MARQUEE!"
  34. Jan 26 20:56:52 <StarmanTheta> The man just kinda hits his forehead against the helicopter as his partner frantically spills the beans.
  35. Jan 26 20:57:04 <Scabbard> "...Maybe I should make things a bit more clear, here, sir."
  36. Jan 26 20:57:04 <Scabbard> "Your coworker here is being very cooperative. However..."
  37. Jan 26 20:57:04 * Getter nods to her "Thank you kindly."
  38. Jan 26 20:58:43 * Scabbard 's eyes widen. "Dominion of Man."
  39. Jan 26 20:58:46 * Getter doesn't like the sound of this. It sounds more like an Empire then a group or the like, but these are the times one would imagine. Ah well. "Hmm. I see."
  40. Jan 26 20:59:42 <Carbink> "Hmm, yes. I see." Carbink considers what to do next.
  41. Jan 26 20:59:45 <StarmanTheta> The man grumbles. "I swear when we get back you're getting court martialed...In any case, it doesn't matter. Once we don't report back, someone will come looking for us, and they'll be MUCH better armed."
  42. Jan 26 20:59:48 * Arthur- takes a deep breath. "Well, they're telling the truth about being surveyors. They just neglected to mention their utter depravity."
  43. Jan 26 21:00:49 <Scabbard> "..."
  44. Jan 26 21:00:50 <Getter> "I think that second part was rather clear already Arthur, but thank you none the less." he says before going back to the Humans "If it were up to me I would simply have you walk back."
  45. Jan 26 21:01:24 <Carbink> "Hmm, yes, we really should move on before the backup arrives."
  46. Jan 26 21:01:42 <Scabbard> "..."
  47. Jan 26 21:02:10 <Arthur-> "B-backup?"
  48. Jan 26 21:02:38 <Scabbard> "...Why do you listen to them?"
  49. Jan 26 21:02:47 <Scabbard> "...The Dominion."
  50. Jan 26 21:03:16 <Scabbard> "...It doesn't have to be like this. We don't have to fight."
  51. Jan 26 21:03:57 <StarmanTheta> The man raises an eyebrow. "What kind of stupid question--" "THE DOMINION KEEPS MAN SAFE FROM THOSE THAT WOULD SEE HUMANITY EXTINQUISHED, A BEACON OF HOPE IN A RUTHLESS WORLD!" "Lilly, please, with the shouting."
  52. Jan 26 21:04:19 <Scabbard> "...I don't want to see humanity extinguished."
  53. Jan 26 21:04:31 <Carbink> "Who want to see humanity extinguished?"
  54. Jan 26 21:05:04 <Getter> Carbink>"I have an idea..."
  55. Jan 26 21:05:06 <Arthur-> "With people like you as representatives, I'm not surprised that some would like to see you all gone."
  56. Jan 26 21:05:12 <Scabbard> "...Listen. You're a survey corps. We're not going to kill you."
  57. Jan 26 21:05:32 <Scabbard> "You're following orders. Maybe because you don't see any other option. It's hard to, when you've been immersed in an idea your whole life."
  58. Jan 26 21:05:37 <Scabbard> "But we're not going to kill you."
  59. Jan 26 21:05:41 <Carbink> Getter> "Yea getter?"
  60. Jan 26 21:05:43 <StarmanTheta> The man scoffs. "Don't have to fight? Do you expect me to fall for such infantile garbage? I've seen good men, innocent men, torn limb from limb by you animals." He narrows his eyes.
  61. Jan 26 21:06:21 <Carbink> "... He probably mean Fang, Scabbard."
  62. Jan 26 21:06:27 <Scabbard> "Men fight men. Pokemon fight pokemon..."
  63. Jan 26 21:06:57 * Scabbard closes his eyes. "...I won't deny that there's evil in this world. ...A lot of it."
  64. Jan 26 21:07:09 <Scabbard> "...But hatred only breeds more hatred."
  65. Jan 26 21:07:20 * Getter remains silent for the moment.
  66. Jan 26 21:07:39 * Arthur- looks ripe to burst, but holds his tongue.
  67. Jan 26 21:08:06 <Carbink> "Both side have good and evil."
  68. Jan 26 21:08:17 <Kailee> "Exactly." Kailee chimes in, "All this anger is kind've a downer. Where's all the love,y'know?"
  69. Jan 26 21:08:38 <Carbink> "We should focus our fighting real evil that's ruining the world."
  70. Jan 26 21:08:53 <Scabbard> "...We'll let you go. Without question. So long as you leave your Pokemon here so we can treat them. We don't want anymore violence."
  71. Jan 26 21:09:23 <Carbink> "And we all pretend this never happened."
  72. Jan 26 21:09:47 <StarmanTheta> "Y-you mean it?" the woman blubbers, but the man is stonefaced. "Fine. But we'll be back. And we will win."
  73. Jan 26 21:09:53 <Arthur-> "They're... what if they do this to more Pokemon? They clearly don't have any qualms about doing so."
  74. Jan 26 21:10:19 <Carbink> ""To stop their practice, we would have to convince their leader."
  75. Jan 26 21:10:19 * Getter looks to the Woman and says "Yes Lilly. We will. Simple as that."
  76. Jan 26 21:11:25 <Getter> "...But you should rethink your lives if you have the time. You may find that the world is still as bright as it once was."
  77. Jan 26 21:11:42 <Scabbard> "...The journey toward Paradise begins with a single step, Arthur."
  78. Jan 26 21:11:49 <Getter> "Though...you may need to relearn how to smile the right way."
  79. Jan 26 21:12:00 <StarmanTheta> "It'll be bright when humans rule the earth once again!" the man snarls. He seems rather adamant about this point.
  80. Jan 26 21:12:18 <Scabbard> "...Sir."
  81. Jan 26 21:12:59 * Getter pats Scabbard. "There is little point arguing"
  82. Jan 26 21:13:09 <Scabbard> "...Very well."
  83. Jan 26 21:13:13 <StarmanTheta> The woman, at least, seems relieved. "Oh god, I don't wanna die out here..."
  84. Jan 26 21:13:22 * Arthur- sighs. "I guess we didn't overcome Fang in one bound. N-no reason to think anything else would be that simple." He manages to force a weak smile. "Guess we're all in this together."
  85. Jan 26 21:13:43 <Carbink> "This world belongs to everyone."
  86. Jan 26 21:13:51 <Getter> Arthur> "Not yet. We're still missing one of us."
  87. Jan 26 21:14:13 <Scabbard> "Now, if we're done here."
  88. Jan 26 21:14:35 * Scabbard produces a potion from his bag. "This is for you, Lilly."
  89. Jan 26 21:14:58 <StarmanTheta> "You mean it?" she says, though the man glares at her.
  90. Jan 26 21:15:00 <Scabbard> "I apologize for biting you earlier."
  91. Jan 26 21:15:11 <StarmanTheta> intuition if you like
  92. Jan 26 21:15:25 <Arthur-> (in general or just scabbard?)
  93. Jan 26 21:15:26 <Scabbard> 3d6+2
  94. Jan 26 21:15:27 <CritSenpai> 3d6+2: 6 [3d6=1,2,1]
  95. Jan 26 21:15:33 <Scabbard> ((Oh come oooonnnnn))
  96. Jan 26 21:15:40 <Carbink> "Sorry about the 'eating' part, we only eats berry."
  97. Jan 26 21:15:58 <StarmanTheta> anyone who's talking to her
  98. Jan 26 21:16:08 <Arthur-> "I guess if we killed them or left them for dead, we'd be no better..."
  99. Jan 26 21:16:09 <Scabbard> ((That's one of my better skiiiillllsss...))
  100. Jan 26 21:16:13 <Arthur-> 4d6+2
  101. Jan 26 21:16:13 <CritSenpai> 4d6+2: 18 [4d6=5,3,6,2]
  102. Jan 26 21:16:23 <Getter> 3d6+2
  103. Jan 26 21:16:23 <CritSenpai> 3d6+2: 13 [3d6=5,4,2]
  104. Jan 26 21:16:32 <Carbink> 2d6+3
  105. Jan 26 21:16:32 <CritSenpai> 2d6+3: 15 [2d6=6,6]
  106. Jan 26 21:16:34 <StarmanTheta> Arthur gets the feeling that the woman is just interested in saving her own skin, and isn't truly buying what you guys are saying
  107. Jan 26 21:16:45 <StarmanTheta> Getter and carbink can tell that as well
  108. Jan 26 21:16:50 <StarmanTheta> Sucks being a low-wis paladin, huh?
  109. Jan 26 21:17:46 <StarmanTheta> In any case
  110. Jan 26 21:17:49 <StarmanTheta> what're you gonna do now?
  111. Jan 26 21:17:51 <Arthur-> "... You're a terrible liar, Lilly."
  112. Jan 26 21:18:02 <Scabbard> "..."
  113. Jan 26 21:18:11 <StarmanTheta> "Wh-what?"
  114. Jan 26 21:18:18 <StarmanTheta> "Honest! Love and peace and stuff!"
  115. Jan 26 21:18:21 <Scabbard> "..."
  116. Jan 26 21:18:25 <Carbink> "Nevermind, we did say to let you go."
  117. Jan 26 21:18:26 * Getter nods. "She is. But, we can do little better I guess.It does not change our desicions."
  118. Jan 26 21:18:33 * Scabbard withdraws the potions."
  119. Jan 26 21:18:47 <Getter> "Well, except for his. But that was his choice."
  120. Jan 26 21:19:03 <Scabbard> "True, but we never said they had to be conscious."
  121. Jan 26 21:19:07 <Kailee> "Oh, I can agree with whatever she's spouting right now." she comments, only half paying attention.
  122. Jan 26 21:19:10 <Arthur-> "We already spared their lives. They can walk off their wounds like the rest of the, ahem, 'beasts'."
  123. Jan 26 21:19:57 <StarmanTheta> "N-no!" she says, "What'll we do like this? You can't just leave us beat up and defenseless!"
  124. Jan 26 21:20:38 <Carbink> "She's right, they are toast if they meet another Fang."
  125. Jan 26 21:20:50 * Kailee sighs and walks up to the human, "Guys, there's no need to be so petty. Plus, I can't allow anything to leave injured. It's just a code of mine." she begins using her MEDICAL knowledge.
  126. Jan 26 21:21:20 <Scabbard> "...Then they can walk."
  127. Jan 26 21:21:24 * Getter paused a moment "There's probably a Knife in the helicopter they could use as well."
  128. Jan 26 21:21:36 <Carbink> "Oh, but their backup will come for them, so it should be fine."
  129. Jan 26 21:21:44 <Kailee> 4d6+2 Healing
  130. Jan 26 21:21:45 <CritSenpai> Healing: 11 [4d6=2,1,5,1]
  131. Jan 26 21:21:46 <Getter> "That way they aren't defenseless. I guess."
  132. Jan 26 21:21:47 <Scabbard> They've got a Pokedex, right?"
  133. Jan 26 21:21:55 <Arthur-> They had two on them, yes.
  134. Jan 26 21:22:09 <StarmanTheta> That patches 'em up a bit, yeah
  135. Jan 26 21:22:33 <Getter> ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7AHcg8t2Tk )
  136. Jan 26 21:22:35 <Scabbard> "Then they don't have to wander for days until they starve."
  137. Jan 26 21:23:06 * Kailee finishes her work, "Well, not gonna lie, I kinda half-assed it, but it's good enough." she pats the woman on the lower back with her palm, "They'll be fiiine."
  138. Jan 26 21:23:34 <StarmanTheta> The woman winces when you pat her
  139. Jan 26 21:23:42 * Scabbard gives Lilly a sideline glance. "...Unlike most pokemon you might be familiar with, I don't allow myself to be -used-."
  140. Jan 26 21:23:44 <Carbink> brb
  141. Jan 26 21:24:17 <Kailee> 4d6+3 Charm; they'd better appreciate being patched up at least.
  142. Jan 26 21:24:17 <CritSenpai> Charm: 18 [4d6=3,5,6,1]
  143. Jan 26 21:25:08 <StarmanTheta> They won't try to immediately kill you. Maybe. You think.
  144. Jan 26 21:25:22 <Scabbard> "But do at least consider what I said."
  145. Jan 26 21:26:33 <Arthur-> "Let's not forget why we came here! We were going to take a peek in the cave ourselves... I t-think."
  146. Jan 26 21:26:52 <StarmanTheta> The woman is silent. The man is too, seeming to refuse to answer you.
  147. Jan 26 21:28:32 <StarmanTheta> You don't haaaave to
  148. Jan 26 21:28:36 <StarmanTheta> as for the helicopter
  149. Jan 26 21:29:10 <Arthur-> Well, first we'll need to see if we can fix the props...
  150. Jan 26 21:29:11 <StarmanTheta> like I said before, it looks like it can be fixed but it will take a little bit of time. You can try to hammer the blade back into place, but without proper guidance who knows how well of a job you could do
  151. Jan 26 21:29:30 * Scabbard undoes their bonds, picks up the Pokedex... and after some thought, a potion -anyway-. "...You're lucky I'm a sentimental idiot."
  152. Jan 26 21:29:42 <Carbink> "Need our help with fixing the helicoptor?"
  153. Jan 26 21:30:22 * Scabbard shoves them both into their hands. "Go home. Get proper medical attention. Take a shower."
  154. Jan 26 21:30:22 <Arthur-> 4d6+2 tech edu to guess how hard we'd need to hammer/etc to fix it
  155. Jan 26 21:30:22 <CritSenpai> tech edu to guess how hard we'd need to hammer/etc to fix it: 14 [4d6=3,1,4,4]
  156. Jan 26 21:31:00 <StarmanTheta> The woman seems happy that they're free and grabs the potion. She blinks for a second, while the man sits scowling. "I never thought I'd see the day..."
  157. Jan 26 21:31:25 * Kailee frowns as she moves back closer to Scabbard, "Y'know, if you were just gonna give them a potion I wouldn't have wasted my time." she complains.
  158. Jan 26 21:31:26 <StarmanTheta> You think you know how to hammer it flat
  159. Jan 26 21:31:43 <Scabbard> "...I'll give you a potion later."
  160. Jan 26 21:32:00 * Getter moves to walk away. He doesn't even say goodbye to them.
  161. Jan 26 21:32:26 <Scabbard> "Unlike some people I'm related to, I believe in showing mercy."
  162. Jan 26 21:32:47 <Arthur-> "I think I could guide a repair on these blades if one of you were strong enough to hammer them flat, but I'm still not sure what we'd do with it. Drag it to the next town?"
  163. Jan 26 21:33:01 <StarmanTheta> At this point Starbuck--yeah he was here the whole time--pipes up. "Wh-wait, is it ok to let them go? What if they capture more pokemon?"
  164. Jan 26 21:33:14 <Kailee> "It's not about the potion. It's about pride... or something. I don't know." she turns towards the humans and gives them a wave with her paw, "Well have fun, you two. It was a pleasure."
  165. Jan 26 21:33:33 <Scabbard> "..."
  166. Jan 26 21:33:43 <StarmanTheta> The two get up, the man with a 'Hmph', and with that, they walk--well, limp--away to the northeast
  167. Jan 26 21:33:46 <Scabbard> "One more thing."
  168. Jan 26 21:33:47 * Getter looks to Starbuck "Then we'll simply free them to" is all he says.
  169. Jan 26 21:33:58 * Arthur- puts his paw on Starbuck's... leaves? "They're just a drop in the bucket, is the sad part."
  170. Jan 26 21:34:08 <Scabbard> "...If I catch either of you attempting to catch a Pokemon again. I'll bite harder next time."
  171. Jan 26 21:34:31 <Carbink> "I will help with the repair." HAMMER TIME.
  172. Jan 26 21:34:35 <Scabbard> 4d6+3 Intimidate
  173. Jan 26 21:34:35 <CritSenpai> Intimidate: 14 [4d6=6,1,2,2]
  174. Jan 26 21:34:55 <Arthur-> "Okay, yeah, strike here, and here, and a little lighter here..."
  175. Jan 26 21:34:57 <Scabbard> "Don't. Come. Back."
  176. Jan 26 21:35:00 <StarmanTheta> The woman yelps. The man laughs as they leave
  177. Jan 26 21:35:10 <StarmanTheta> This is an extended action by the way
  178. Jan 26 21:35:18 * Scabbard frowns.
  179. Jan 26 21:35:23 <StarmanTheta> I would also like to point out
  180. Jan 26 21:35:23 <Scabbard> "...Gods..."
  181. Jan 26 21:35:30 <StarmanTheta> that the only two people who actually KNOW how to fly it
  182. Jan 26 21:35:32 <StarmanTheta> are leaving
  183. Jan 26 21:35:38 * Scabbard rubs his forehead...
  184. Jan 26 21:35:44 <Carbink> (I thought we are giving them back)
  185. Jan 26 21:35:50 <Carbink> (oh well)
  186. Jan 26 21:35:55 <Scabbard> "..."
  187. Jan 26 21:36:06 <Scabbard> "...This is a fine mess..."
  188. Jan 26 21:36:14 <StarmanTheta> well they're not gone YET
  189. Jan 26 21:36:17 <Getter> "Most of the world is made of fine messes."
  190. Jan 26 21:36:18 <StarmanTheta> which is why I have to point it out
  191. Jan 26 21:36:19 <Arthur-> "Er, before we bother with this. Starbuck, you think you guys would want to drag this all that way?"
  192. Jan 26 21:36:40 <Arthur-> "I think it could be useful scrap in a town's hands , but it's pretty heavy..."
  193. Jan 26 21:36:47 <StarmanTheta> So I mean, you could drag them back or revise your last few statements or...
  194. Jan 26 21:36:50 <StarmanTheta> I'm trying to be nice here
  195. Jan 26 21:36:59 <Carbink> "Or learn to use it and your trading would be much easier."
  196. Jan 26 21:37:22 <Arthur-> "This thing isn't really made for Pokemon use, Carbin!"
  197. Jan 26 21:37:28 * Scabbard looks at Starbuck. "...If we killed them, their army would have come here seeking revenge."
  198. Jan 26 21:37:58 <Carbink> "Aww, they might another human though"
  199. Jan 26 21:38:05 <Carbink> find another
  200. Jan 26 21:38:05 <StarmanTheta> "Uh..." Starbuck looks up at the thing and tilts his head. "Well...I mean we're pretty strong, but I don't think we could haul this big thing all the way somewhere. It's too bulky."
  201. Jan 26 21:38:17 <Scabbard> "...By letting them go... perhaps... the seeds of change might have been planted. Or not."
  202. Jan 26 21:38:38 <Scabbard> "...We haven't seen the last of them, or their Dominion."
  203. Jan 26 21:38:48 <Carbink> "Your village trade with any human?" Carbink as Starbuck.
  204. Jan 26 21:38:50 * Arthur- nods. "We can only hope. And in that case..." He smashes his paws together. "Let's scrap this thing!"
  205. Jan 26 21:39:05 <Scabbard> "...I'm worried."
  206. Jan 26 21:39:20 <Scabbard> "...I don't know a lot about them, but... I've heard..."
  207. Jan 26 21:39:23 <Scabbard> "...Things."
  208. Jan 26 21:39:51 <StarmanTheta> "Well, there's humans in mantine bay, but other than that we don't really see 'em!"
  209. Jan 26 21:40:03 <Scabbard> "...And I wonder if they're not involved in this strange legend that we've found ourselves entangled in as well..."
  210. Jan 26 21:40:27 <Carbink> "... We could check out this cave to verify that..."
  211. Jan 26 21:40:29 <Scabbard> "...Mantine Bay needs to prepare itself."
  212. Jan 26 21:40:41 <Arthur-> "I'm not sure if we w-want to see them again or not, though."
  213. Jan 26 21:40:44 <Scabbard> "...Lets check this cave."
  214. Jan 26 21:40:47 <Scabbard> "...We don't."
  215. Jan 26 21:40:48 <StarmanTheta> in any case, while you’re doing this, someone should probably tend to the noibat
  216. Jan 26 21:41:13 * Scabbard walks over to the Noibat. "...We've got other concerns. The Helicopter isn't important."
  217. Jan 26 21:41:39 <Carbink> "Starbuck, you all go on ahead, we will checkup with you all later. Take the noibat with you to the next village"
  218. Jan 26 21:41:47 <Scabbard> "...We need to get this one and the others to Mantine Bay, and warn them that the Dominion was here, and that they might send backup."
  219. Jan 26 21:41:55 <Scabbard> "Someone there might know more about them than us."
  220. Jan 26 21:41:58 * Arthur- gulps.
  221. Jan 26 21:41:59 <Kailee> "Well, you guys have fun with whatever you're planning." she comments, "I'm gonna go check to see if she's improved." she says as she goes over to the Noibat.
  222. Jan 26 21:42:18 <Scabbard> "We need to check out this cave and then move forward."
  223. Jan 26 21:42:46 * Arthur- assumes he's not going to get a full crew for this, so he looks in the helicopter for oddments and maybe tries to pry off a few metal panels and whatnot with telekinesis.
  224. Jan 26 21:43:00 <StarmanTheta> The noibat is much the same like she was before, it seems, mostly in a fit of pain
  225. Jan 26 21:43:25 * Getter will help Arthur. He can breathe fire after all. That might help.
  226. Jan 26 21:43:26 <StarmanTheta> "You sure?" Starbuck says.
  227. Jan 26 21:43:49 <Arthur-> "W-wait! Don't breathe fire in a vehicle like this!"
  228. Jan 26 21:43:55 <Carbink> "It probably shouldn't take long, we will catch up while you sleeps."
  229. Jan 26 21:43:56 <Arthur-> "They run on really flammable fuel."
  230. Jan 26 21:44:11 * Kailee sighs to herself as she goes through her first aid kit, "I think I should have something for the pain. Or at least to help her sleep."
  231. Jan 26 21:44:21 * Getter wasn't going too! Not unless he needed too!
  232. Jan 26 21:44:33 <StarmanTheta> Just for time's sake, you guys can manage to pry off about 3000 PYU in scrap metal and other electronics, but anything more is way too much for you to reasonably carry
  233. Jan 26 21:45:27 * Arthur- makes a Candy Cube laced with a little sedative and passes it to Kailee. "I hear human doctors used to give people in pain candy. Let's try this."
  234. Jan 26 21:45:50 <Arthur-> (-50 PYU)
  235. Jan 26 21:46:21 <Carbink> (Spicy candy)
  236. Jan 26 21:46:44 <Kailee> "Really now?" she asks as she takes the candy, "Sounds like a strange practice." she then feeds the candy to the injured Noibat the best she can without hurting her more.
  237. Jan 26 21:47:45 <StarmanTheta> The noibat is barely conscious. She doesn't seem to be much for speaking, but she does gingerly eat the candy. She coughs a few times, but then settles down--looks like she's resting a bit easier, at least.
  238. Jan 26 21:47:50 * Arthur- helps the caravan get the scrap securely loaded and ready for transport.
  239. Jan 26 21:47:56 * Carbink sings the song his mother used to sing to make noribat feel better.
  240. Jan 26 21:48:04 <Scabbard> "...This Noibat's life, your lives, and the lives of the people in that town are the most important things."
  241. Jan 26 21:49:06 <Kailee> "I wonder if there's ever gonna be a time where you guys don't try to out-do yourselves with the cheesy hero lines." she mocks, shooting aglance towards Scabbard.
  242. Jan 26 21:49:13 <Carbink> ((How far is the closest village?)
  243. Jan 26 21:49:16 <Scabbard> "...Wait."
  244. Jan 26 21:49:19 <Scabbard> "...Arthur."
  245. Jan 26 21:49:21 <Scabbard> "In the bag."
  246. Jan 26 21:49:55 * Arthur- looks confused. "Uhh, I have some more bandages and some random scrap, why?"
  247. Jan 26 21:50:03 <Scabbard> "...The PokeBalls we took from the Legion. They don't look like they have... whatever did this to her on them, right?"
  248. Jan 26 21:50:18 <StarmanTheta> The pace the skiddo were going, mantine bay was about half a day away. For you guys, probably a day, maybe a day and a half if you get lost or something
  249. Jan 26 21:50:33 <Scabbard> "...If she's healthy enough, we might be able to keep her stable for a bit longer."
  250. Jan 26 21:50:53 <Scabbard> "She... she can't bleed out inside a ball, right...?"
  251. Jan 26 21:50:54 <Carbink> "W-we shouldn't use something unknown like that."
  252. Jan 26 21:50:56 * Scabbard honestly has no idea.
  253. Jan 26 21:50:57 * Arthur- puts his paw to his chin for a seconnd. "... Huh, that's an interesting question! Let me check." He pulls out one of each and studies them closely.
  254. Jan 26 21:51:26 <Arthur-> Any apparent differences?
  255. Jan 26 21:51:58 <StarmanTheta> The on es you got from the legion don't seem to be the same model as the ones these guys were carrying
  256. Jan 26 21:52:27 <Scabbard> "...Would... would it be safe, Arthur?"
  257. Jan 26 21:52:41 <Arthur-> "I g-guess it might be worth a shot... I think putting a fainted one in is disabled, but it should work on injured Pokemon. As for whether it's safe..."
  258. Jan 26 21:52:47 <Arthur-> 4d6+3 tech edu
  259. Jan 26 21:52:47 <CritSenpai> tech edu: 17 [4d6=6,3,4,1]
  260. Jan 26 21:54:10 <StarmanTheta> Arthur thinks it would be safe, but from what he knows of them you can't put a fainted pokemon in a new ball. You'd need to wake her up at least, but that shouldn’t be too hard.
  261. Jan 26 21:54:26 * Scabbard has a Revive in his pouch in case of an emergency?
  262. Jan 26 21:54:34 <Carbink> "I-I not sure, maybe we should try something- Wait! What if we do this..." Carbink starts up his pokedex and try to apply Resilience.exe on noribat."
  263. Jan 26 21:55:24 <Arthur-> "I -think- it'd be safe. We'd have to wake her up, and I'd hate to put her BACK in one, but I guess that's our best option."
  264. Jan 26 21:56:27 <StarmanTheta> Carbink fiddles around with the pokedex, but nothing seems to pass it on. You'll recall that it only works if you're SYNCed with it
  265. Jan 26 21:56:35 <Getter> "I think for right now...we should leave her out of it...We should trust in her body to keep itself."
  266. Jan 26 21:56:46 <Scabbard> "...You're right."
  267. Jan 26 21:56:59 <Scabbard> "...It feels wrong to put her right into another ball..."
  268. Jan 26 21:57:03 * Kailee blinks a few times, glancing between Noibat and the Arthur, "Well, I have no idea how those thigns work, so if you think it's for the best then I'll trust you."
  269. Jan 26 21:57:34 <Carbink> "I think the ball, like weapon, can be use for good and evil..."
  270. Jan 26 21:57:44 * Arthur- shakes his head and puts it away. "Let's get into the cave and get out. Every second is precious."
  271. Jan 26 21:57:51 <Scabbard> "...Right."
  272. Jan 26 21:58:03 * Getter gets moving.
  273. Jan 26 21:58:12 <Kailee> "Do want me to come along or stay here with her?"
  274. Jan 26 21:58:37 <StarmanTheta> "I think we can take care of her, if you wanna stay," Starbuck says
  275. Jan 26 21:59:05 <Scabbard> "Please. Keep her has stable as you can. We'll try to move quickly."
  276. Jan 26 21:59:07 <Arthur-> "She'd get to a warm bed faster if she went with them, I think!"
  277. Jan 26 21:59:21 * Arthur- leaves his surplus 2 bandages and potions on her stretcher just in case
  278. Jan 26 21:59:35 * Kailee nods towards Starbuck, "Then I'll trust you with it. After all, I can't leave these guys alone for two minutes without them getting hurt." she turns to follow the group.
  279. Jan 26 22:00:22 <StarmanTheta> "Right! We'll do our best!"
  280. Jan 26 22:00:23 <Arthur-> "We definitely have a way to get ourselves into trouble!"
  281. Jan 26 22:00:50 <Kailee> "I'd comment further, but it seems I have a knack for that as well."
  282. Jan 26 22:01:08 <Carbink> "We might need to work on our stealth."
  283. Jan 26 22:01:08 * Scabbard frowns as he walks toward the Cave. "...I feel like I just doomed someone..."
  284. Jan 26 22:01:14 <StarmanTheta> With that all taken care of, Starbuck and the rest of the skiddo will wish you the best of luck and leave with the noibat and the other pokemon you rescued. But before you go, Starbuck has one last thing to give you.
  285. Jan 26 22:01:28 <Scabbard> "I just don't know who yet..."
  286. Jan 26 22:03:21 <StarmanTheta> "Just a sec!" he says, then bites something in his pack and pulls it out--it appears to be a long scarf. He deposits it in Scabbard's blade. "It's not much, but this is something my Mom gave me once. It helps when it's hot out, so I thought you might want to borrow it. Just give it back to me when you're done!"
  287. Jan 26 22:03:33 <Scabbard> "...Starbuck, I..."
  288. Jan 26 22:03:36 <Scabbard> "...Thank you."
  289. Jan 26 22:03:43 <Scabbard> "I promise I'll give it back."
  290. Jan 26 22:04:00 * Scabbard wraps the scarf around his neck.
  291. Jan 26 22:04:02 <StarmanTheta> It's a scarf dyed with rawst berries. When worn, it acts as a type brace agaisnt fire, though it only gives 5 DR against fire attacks.
  292. Jan 26 22:04:18 * Arthur- uses Telekinesis to make it flap heroically in the breeze, even if there isn't a breeze.
  293. Jan 26 22:04:29 <StarmanTheta> Starbuck beams. "No rush! It looks really good on you man! Er, I mean...good luck, guys!"
  294. Jan 26 22:04:39 * Scabbard looks incredibly stylish with his new hat and scarf. Also he chuckles a bit at Arthur.
  295. Jan 26 22:04:43 <StarmanTheta> He then quickly rejoins the rest of the group
  296. Jan 26 22:04:52 * Getter wishes the Skiddo well. "Your mother cares a lot about you. See you soon."
  297. Jan 26 22:05:01 <Arthur-> "Stay safe!"
  298. Jan 26 22:05:16 <Carbink> "I can feel the mother's warm from the texture."
  299. Jan 26 22:05:58 * Getter feels over his own scarf for a moment.
  300. Jan 26 22:06:12 * Carbink miss his mom a little.
  301. Jan 26 22:06:20 <Scabbard> "You can..."
  302. Jan 26 22:06:28 <Scabbard> "..."
  303. Jan 26 22:06:42 <Carbink> "Let's go."
  304. Jan 26 22:06:48 * Scabbard places a scythe on Carbink's back. "..."
  305. Jan 26 22:08:12 <Scabbard> "...Carbink?"
  306. Jan 26 22:08:23 <Carbink> "Hm?"
  307. Jan 26 22:08:42 <Scabbard> "...I... um..."
  308. Jan 26 22:08:50 <Scabbard> "...I want to thank you."
  309. Jan 26 22:09:03 <Carbink> "Oh... Umm, you are welcome."
  310. Jan 26 22:09:26 <Scabbard> "...Can... I ask a question?"
  311. Jan 26 22:09:34 <Carbink> "yeah, sure."
  312. Jan 26 22:10:55 <Scabbard> "I... uh... I never knew my mother, and I wasn't close to my father at all, and... um..."
  313. Jan 26 22:11:33 <Scabbard> "...I'm starting to consider you all to be like... family to me."
  314. Jan 26 22:11:57 <Carbink> "I already consider you my family."
  315. Jan 26 22:12:38 * Carbink look to the rest, "And all of you."
  316. Jan 26 22:12:53 <Scabbard> "And... when... um... When I first left the Legion, I didn't have a name either... not until the people who rescued me helped me pick one, and... I..."
  317. Jan 26 22:13:03 * Arthur- nods
  318. Jan 26 22:13:24 <Scabbard> "...If, you want... maybe..."
  319. Jan 26 22:13:35 * Getter remains quiet.
  320. Jan 26 22:14:38 <Carbink> "Hmm, yes, please."
  321. Jan 26 22:15:35 <Scabbard> "...What sort do you want?"
  322. Jan 26 22:15:49 * Scabbard looks toward the others for a suggestion as well, maybe?
  323. Jan 26 22:16:28 <Carbink> "Whatever name you gave, is my name."
  324. Jan 26 22:17:31 * Getter looked to think a moment, thinking of the naming conventions in his home village. he eventually says "...How about Dozle?"
  325. Jan 26 22:18:08 * Arthur- thinks for a moment, trying to recall mythological figures who were very good at protecting people
  326. Jan 26 22:18:40 * Carbink smile happily. "Dozle! That's a nice name, what do you all think?!"
  327. Jan 26 22:19:14 * Arthur- claps. "Well, if it makes you happy, then I think Getter's found a perfect name!"
  328. Jan 26 22:19:19 <Scabbard> "I kind of like it. It's cute."
  329. Jan 26 22:19:35 <Carbink> "My name is Dozle!" Carbink dances
  330. Jan 26 22:19:39 * Arthur- tries to hop up to Dozle but doesn't go nearly high enough, faceplanting into the ground.
  331. Jan 26 22:19:44 * Scabbard smiles, and then decides to just go all out and give the newly christened Carbink a hug.
  332. Jan 26 22:20:52 * Getter helps Arthur up and helps lift him up to get his hug in!
  333. Jan 26 22:21:13 <Scabbard> "...After all of this is over. If... all of you want to come back to Mantine Bay and live with Sal and Zephyr and Crusher and I..."
  334. Jan 26 22:21:20 * Arthur- helps pull up Getter for the full group hug, which is mostly just Scabbard holding everyone.
  335. Jan 26 22:21:32 <Scabbard> "It... wouldn't be as exciting as this, but..."
  336. Jan 26 22:21:45 <Arthur-> "M-maybe this wasn't well thought out! Aw, who cares."
  337. Jan 26 22:22:00 * Carbink is now known as Dozle
  338. Jan 26 22:22:19 <Getter> "I wish I could...but there is still something I must do Scabbard...Even if it seems impossible. I'm still searching for it."
  339. Jan 26 22:22:24 * Scabbard struggles a bit with the weight of HALF THE PARTY.
  340. Jan 26 22:22:41 * Scabbard nods as he sets everyone down. "I know, Getter."
  341. Jan 26 22:23:18 * Scabbard smiles. "...I hope you find it. I... still have someone I'm looking for too. Someone who was looking for the same thing..."
  342. Jan 26 22:23:20 <Scabbard> "..."
  343. Jan 26 22:23:26 <StarmanTheta> The cave, yeah
  344. Jan 26 22:23:32 * Scabbard 's smile fades a bit. "But I dunno if I'll see her again."
  345. Jan 26 22:23:37 <Scabbard> "...Anyway. The cave."
  346. Jan 26 22:23:56 <Arthur-> "Right!"
  347. Jan 26 22:24:32 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y16IYB4q530
  348. Jan 26 22:25:05 <Getter> "If you don't know believe you will...and you will."
  349. Jan 26 22:26:12 <StarmanTheta> The cave is very...well, cavernous! The smell of stone, dust, and dirt fill your nose as you enter the natural cave, with curved walls. Just looking around, the walls seem to sparkle more than occasionally, and there's a multitude of colored spots in the stalagmites, stalactites, and other areas. Looks like Starbuck wasn't kidding about this place being rife with stones, though naturally the entrance has been picked over
  350. Jan 26 22:26:32 <Scabbard> "Incredible..."
  351. Jan 26 22:26:58 <Arthur-> "Oooh."
  352. Jan 26 22:27:04 <Scabbard> "Arthur, is it true that there are really magic wishing stones?"
  353. Jan 26 22:27:13 <StarmanTheta> Going deeper into the cave, biolumenescent mushrooms grow in clusters, providing dim lighting
  354. Jan 26 22:27:21 * Scabbard is pretty awed when looking at all of the glowy rocks.
  355. Jan 26 22:27:25 <StarmanTheta> and in the distance you can hear the faint running of water
  356. Jan 26 22:27:32 <StarmanTheta> Now, look to the roll20, if you would...
  357. Jan 26 22:27:37 <Arthur-> "Magic wishing stones? Not that I know of, but..."
  358. Jan 26 22:28:14 * Getter looks to the mushrooms wondering if one were to be plucked how long it lasts.
  359. Jan 26 22:29:35 <StarmanTheta> Why don't you try and find out?
  360. Jan 26 22:30:07 <Scabbard> "Like in the story I told you? Where the human held up a rock and made a wish?"
  361. Jan 26 22:30:23 * Getter will do so. He'll pick one up and pluck it! He'll even hold it up too.
  362. Jan 26 22:30:53 <Scabbard> "...It'd be incredible if something like that was down here. I doubt it though."
  363. Jan 26 22:31:01 <Arthur-> "I don't remember reading of such a thing. I was sort of light on mystic info..."
  364. Jan 26 22:31:11 <StarmanTheta> You pick up the mushroom. It's quite pretty! +1 bioluminescent mushroom
  365. Jan 26 22:31:18 <Arthur-> "Hey! Maybe it had something to do with a really powerful Pokemon?"
  366. Jan 26 22:31:44 <Scabbard> "Well, I mean, it's an old story. I don't know that much about it."
  367. Jan 26 22:31:48 <Scabbard> "Just... you know, stories."
  368. Jan 26 22:32:25 * Dozle wonders around the cave
  369. Jan 26 22:32:40 <Getter> "Hmm...These don't give off bad light..."
  370. Jan 26 22:32:41 <StarmanTheta> you guys can move around freely. To the southeast there appears to be a portal to the rest of the cave
  371. Jan 26 22:32:41 * Kailee narrows her eyes, having a hard time adjusting to the darkness of the cave, "So what exactly are we looking for around here?"
  372. Jan 26 22:33:28 <Scabbard> "They're not poisonous though, are they?"
  373. Jan 26 22:33:42 <Scabbard> "...I guess... rocks related to this essence?"
  374. Jan 26 22:33:47 <Getter> "Well, as long as we don't eat them it shouldn't be an issue Scabbard."
  375. Jan 26 22:33:58 <Arthur-> "Or evolutionary stones in general. Those can do amazing things."
  376. Jan 26 22:34:19 * Scabbard checks the notes he stored in his dex. (With help.)
  377. Jan 26 22:34:43 <Kailee> "Evolution stones, huh? Well I'll suppose I'll just have to be careful."
  378. Jan 26 22:34:52 <StarmanTheta> From the notes you got and w hat starbuck told you, they often ground up the rocks here ot use as amazing fertilizer
  379. Jan 26 22:35:06 <Scabbard> "If you evolve and don't want to, I could scare you out of evolving?"
  380. Jan 26 22:35:49 <Kailee> "... Is that an actual thing? Because it sounds made up."
  381. Jan 26 22:36:00 <Dozle> "We will know when we try it"
  382. Jan 26 22:36:02 <Scabbard> "It might be an actual thing?"
  383. Jan 26 22:36:05 * Getter comments "I have heard of such things."
  384. Jan 26 22:36:06 * Arthur- laughs for a bit before thinking about it. "... It's been a long time since I've heard that. I t-think we should laugh more often!"
  385. Jan 26 22:36:24 <Dozle> "Yes, yes, we should."
  386. Jan 26 22:36:37 <Kailee> "You kidding? I laugh at you guys all the time."
  387. Jan 26 22:36:37 <Scabbard> "...I don't have a lot of jokes."
  388. Jan 26 22:36:49 * Scabbard looks at the dirt. "...So... what sort of Rocks work best for this?"
  389. Jan 26 22:37:22 <Arthur-> "I bet the coolest stuff will be the deepest where people don't usually go!"
  390. Jan 26 22:37:29 <Dozle> "We would have to ask them later."
  391. Jan 26 22:37:51 <Kailee> "Sounds reasonable enough. I'm right behind you."
  392. Jan 26 22:38:18 <Getter> "I'm all fine for deeper in."
  393. Jan 26 22:38:42 <Scabbard> "That is logical. The surface would be picked clean by this point..."
  394. Jan 26 22:39:01 <Dozle> "Let's go straight into the deepest point."
  395. Jan 26 22:39:14 <StarmanTheta> Rounding the corner, Arthur sees a larger cavern. A small undergroun stream cuts through this spacious cavern, and a natural rock bridge juts over it. Inside a Numel is moping around from what you can see.
  396. Jan 26 22:39:25 <Scabbard> "...?"
  397. Jan 26 22:39:53 <Arthur-> "Hm, wait, what if I..."
  398. Jan 26 22:40:08 * Dozle goes to greet the Numel. "Hi, I am Dozle! What's your name?"
  399. Jan 26 22:40:09 <Scabbard> "Uh, hello?"
  400. Jan 26 22:40:20 * Arthur- closes his eyes and breathes steadily, in and out. "Focus..."
  401. Jan 26 22:40:32 <Arthur-> (activating AG)
  402. Jan 26 22:40:35 <StarmanTheta> "...?" the numel looks up. "Who're you guys?"
  403. Jan 26 22:40:43 * Getter raises a brow. "It would seem Dozle is very much happy to expound his name."
  404. Jan 26 22:41:06 <StarmanTheta> The numel seems to have a neutral aura, same as the drillbur that are jobbing about. They seem more curious about your presence than anything
  405. Jan 26 22:41:14 <Dozle> "We are investigating this cave since some human was interested in it."
  406. Jan 26 22:41:17 <Scabbard> "Uh, I'm Scabbard. This is Getter, Arthur, Kaliee, and Dozle. We're exploring."
  407. Jan 26 22:41:39 <Arthur-> "Well, when you've just gotten your name, it's a really big change!"
  408. Jan 26 22:41:48 <StarmanTheta> "Some humans?" the numel says.
  409. Jan 26 22:41:54 <Scabbard> "We're trying to find a few rocks that we can turn into a sort of Fertilizer. But we ran into trouble up top, yes..."
  410. Jan 26 22:42:01 <Dozle> "Yeah, bad human that we beat up!"
  411. Jan 26 22:42:24 * Arthur- frowns. "Very, very bad humans."
  412. Jan 26 22:42:37 <Getter> "Indeed. You may wish to be careful. They are likely to return."
  413. Jan 26 22:42:43 <StarmanTheta> The drillbur don't seem too happy. "Wh-what?"
  414. Jan 26 22:42:52 <StarmanTheta> "We can't just up and leave; this is our home!"
  415. Jan 26 22:43:23 <Scabbard> "...We don't want to intrude. But... they were surveying up top. We don't know what they want."
  416. Jan 26 22:43:30 <Scabbard> "You should be careful, in any case."
  417. Jan 26 22:43:31 <Dozle> "They have these ball that can enslaves and brainwash you, so be careful."
  418. Jan 26 22:43:48 <Arthur-> "D-don't scare them like that, Dozle."
  419. Jan 26 22:44:08 * Arthur- puts both of his paws to his forehead. "But he is telling the truth, so..."
  420. Jan 26 22:44:08 <Scabbard> "I'd recommend at least setting up defenses, though..."
  421. Jan 26 22:44:15 <Dozle> "It's best they are prepared for it since they might be coming back.
  422. Jan 26 22:44:29 <StarmanTheta> "Wait wait, you're telling us we gotta just up and leave? We've been here our entire lives!" they seem really distressed
  423. Jan 26 22:44:51 <Dozle> "Hmm? No, you can stay here, they just want to survey the place, so just hide."
  424. Jan 26 22:44:59 <Scabbard> "No! Just that you should be cautious."
  425. Jan 26 22:45:45 <Getter> "Yep, just...cautious. Some defensible places...maybe a few hiding places..."
  426. Jan 26 22:46:01 <Dozle> "Anyway, how deep is this cave? If we found what they are looking for, they would chase after us instead."
  427. Jan 26 22:46:02 * Arthur- uses Aura Pulse to throw a thought to Kailee. "I t-think we might have an unruly crowd here soon."
  428. Jan 26 22:46:06 <StarmanTheta> "But you just said they would enslave us?" "Oh no, what're we gonna do?" "They can't be serious, right?" "I heard humans are really scary--" the pokemon begin fretting amongst themselves
  429. Jan 26 22:46:19 <StarmanTheta> They don't really seem to be paying attention to you at this point
  430. Jan 26 22:46:29 * Scabbard looks at Arthur. "...Is there anything we can do to help them prepare?"
  431. Jan 26 22:46:34 <Scabbard> "...In case they come back?"
  432. Jan 26 22:46:50 <Kailee> "I'm... not liking where this is heading." she says back as she looks towards the ground-types.
  433. Jan 26 22:47:01 <Dozle> "Attention!" Carbink commanded their attention.
  434. Jan 26 22:47:07 <Scabbard> "They're just scared is...!"
  435. Jan 26 22:47:10 <Arthur-> "The trouble is that any metal defenses would stick out like a sore thumb. If anything it'd get more attention that way."
  436. Jan 26 22:47:11 <Dozle> 3d6+5
  437. Jan 26 22:47:12 <CritSenpai> 3d6+5: 12 [3d6=4,2,1]
  438. Jan 26 22:47:34 <Scabbard> "...Dozle could help them dig traps?"
  439. Jan 26 22:47:45 <Arthur-> "We could cause a cave-in, maybe..."
  440. Jan 26 22:47:54 <Arthur-> "A c-controlled one!"
  441. Jan 26 22:48:24 <Scabbard> "...But how would we get out later?"
  442. Jan 26 22:49:17 <StarmanTheta> The pokemon jump, but only the drillbur turn to Dozle. "Y-Yes?"
  443. Jan 26 22:49:27 <Getter> "Hmm...What's more, a trapped cave would be far more suspect."
  444. Jan 26 22:49:32 <Scabbard> "...Oh, right, secret tunnels."
  445. Jan 26 22:49:37 <Scabbard> "...!"
  446. Jan 26 22:49:44 <Arthur-> "Drillbur plus Dozle, yeah!"
  447. Jan 26 22:49:48 <Scabbard> "...H-hey, we've got an idea maybe?"
  448. Jan 26 22:50:26 <Scabbard> "But... what about the people from Blossom Grove who need fertilizer?"
  449. Jan 26 22:50:53 <StarmanTheta> "You mean those skiddo that come by sometime?"
  450. Jan 26 22:50:54 <Kailee> "If you guys are going to dig, the rest of us could search for it."
  451. Jan 26 22:51:02 <Dozle> "The goal of the human isn't to enslave you, but to survey something here. I am just informing you that human can do that, so no matter where you go, you gonna meet a human, but this place is clearly safely away from the human. Now, we need to figure out what the human is looking for in this cave, if we find it, they will chase after us instead of coming in."
  452. Jan 26 22:51:14 <StarmanTheta> "Those guys are nice...I don't want to hurt those guys..." the drillbur frets with his claws
  453. Jan 26 22:52:10 <Scabbard> "...We might be able to set up a spot for you to hide, if there's a place you could make a controlled cave in.
  454. Jan 26 22:52:19 <Dozle> "And what Scabbard said."
  455. Jan 26 22:52:26 <Scabbard> Then you can dig secret tunnels to get in and out. That the humans wouldn't know about.
  456. Jan 26 22:52:32 <Arthur-> "I suppose we could do something close to the bottom and then build the tunnels there."
  457. Jan 26 22:53:24 <StarmanTheta> The pokemon look to each other. They seem to not be sure
  458. Jan 26 22:53:32 <StarmanTheta> Though they look to be considering it
  459. Jan 26 22:53:58 <Dozle> "If you really want a safe place, we know of a pokemon village nearby as well."
  460. Jan 26 22:54:28 <Arthur-> "I think they're set on staying here."
  461. Jan 26 22:54:38 * Scabbard nods in agreement with Arthur.
  462. Jan 26 22:54:44 <Getter> "If nothing else, should the humans wish to do harm to this place or not leave you would be far better able to escape had you secret unseen tunnels...and a place to defend your home from."
  463. Jan 26 22:54:47 <StarmanTheta> "We don't wanna leave!" "Yeah this is our home!"
  464. Jan 26 22:55:01 <StarmanTheta> "Hm..."
  465. Jan 26 22:55:08 <Dozle> "Okay, we will help you hide better."
  466. Jan 26 22:55:55 <StarmanTheta> so
  467. Jan 26 22:56:02 <Dozle> "But tell us, how deep is this cave?"
  468. Jan 26 22:56:04 <StarmanTheta> you guys wanna start making traps and stuff to fortify this place?
  469. Jan 26 22:56:23 <StarmanTheta> "Oh, it's pretty deep! This is only about midway, but we...don't like going deeper."
  470. Jan 26 22:56:31 <Scabbard> "Why not?"
  471. Jan 26 22:56:31 <StarmanTheta> "There's some dangerous pokemon further down," the numel says.
  472. Jan 26 22:56:43 <StarmanTheta> "So we don't mess with them."
  473. Jan 26 22:56:57 <Scabbard> "...I guess that's where we're going next."
  474. Jan 26 22:57:02 * Arthur- looks over to his family. "You guys think we ought to take them on?"
  475. Jan 26 22:57:18 <Dozle> "Hmm, I am not sure it's worth the risk."
  476. Jan 26 22:57:24 * Scabbard frowns, thinking of the Noibat uptop. "...We don't have a ton of time, but if what we're looking is down there..."
  477. Jan 26 22:57:33 <Scabbard> "And it might be more easily fortified..."
  478. Jan 26 22:57:42 <StarmanTheta> "What are you looking for, anyway?" the marshtomp asks
  479. Jan 26 22:58:11 <Arthur-> "We were interested in what other kinds of stones might be here, along with the fertilizer."
  480. Jan 26 22:58:18 <Scabbard> "...We... heard a story about these rocks that, when you ground them up, they can be used to make a special fertilizer. Apparently... you can use them to grow something called the Fruit of Rebirth..."
  481. Jan 26 22:58:19 <Dozle> "The human could be just scouting for resource, but the fact they refuse to say anything means it's something more important."
  482. Jan 26 22:58:48 <Dozle> "Even the talkative woman refuse to talk"
  483. Jan 26 22:59:13 <StarmanTheta> "Fertilizer? Hm, there’s only rocks here, but sometimes the Skiddo grind them up. Do you mean that?"
  484. Jan 26 22:59:19 * Scabbard nods.
  485. Jan 26 22:59:22 * Arthur- nods.
  486. Jan 26 22:59:40 <StarmanTheta> "Hm...sounds like you would need a lot of Leaf Stones."
  487. Jan 26 22:59:44 <StarmanTheta> "We can help you find them!"
  488. Jan 26 23:00:03 <Dozle> "We will help you dig some traps in the meantime!"
  489. Jan 26 23:00:07 <Scabbard> "Alright! Then we'll help set up something to protect your home."
  490. Jan 26 23:00:14 <Scabbard> "But... we might need to go deeper."
  491. Jan 26 23:00:14 <Arthur-> "Sounds like a plan!"
  492. Jan 26 23:00:29 <Kailee> "Leaf stone, huh?" she mumbles to herself as if she were considering something.
  493. Jan 26 23:01:27 <StarmanTheta> They seem pleased with this plan of you helping them and them helping you
  494. Jan 26 23:01:48 <Arthur-> Looks like we're going to have to head down further, though...
  495. Jan 26 23:01:56 <Arthur-> "You guys want to stay behind while we deal with the nasties?"
  496. Jan 26 23:02:19 <Dozle> "I think we should deal with them together."
  497. Jan 26 23:02:31 <Dozle> "Assuming we end up fighting."
  498. Jan 26 23:02:43 <Kailee> "If they aren't fighters, we don't want them involved. They could get hurt."
  499. Jan 26 23:02:46 <StarmanTheta> Y'know, they never actually SAID you had to go down further
  500. Jan 26 23:03:07 <Arthur-> But we all know that's where the cool stuff is!
  501. Jan 26 23:03:08 <Scabbard> ((Oh, true))
  502. Jan 26 23:03:09 <Getter> (Very true...)
  503. Jan 26 23:03:10 <Scabbard> ((Point))
  504. Jan 26 23:03:25 <Dozle> (dig dig dig, dig to china)
  505. Jan 26 23:03:26 <Scabbard> "Right, how can we set up the best defenses here..."
  506. Jan 26 23:03:42 * Arthur- wishes he had a drill or something.
  507. Jan 26 23:03:52 <Scabbard> ((TO PIERCE THE HEAVENS?))
  508. Jan 26 23:04:01 <Arthur-> (To drill!)
  509. Jan 26 23:04:08 <StarmanTheta> I mean unless you just want to beat up thee pokemon for them
  510. Jan 26 23:04:12 <Arthur-> (Unless I could somehow make a drill out of random scrap from cars.)
  511. Jan 26 23:04:26 * Dozle burrow like jogging.
  512. Jan 26 23:04:55 <Scabbard> ((Not unnecessarily, no.))
  513. Jan 26 23:05:12 * Arthur- pushes Dozle to make him go even faster!
  514. Jan 26 23:05:20 <Dozle> ((maybe swap member with drillbur))
  515. Jan 26 23:05:23 <StarmanTheta> So what do you guys plan to do?
  516. Jan 26 23:08:00 <StarmanTheta> (Let's just get what sort of actiosn you guys are doing here. you can help with defenses, look for stones, do dowsing rolls, or whatever else you might want to think of)
  517. Jan 26 23:08:25 * Dozle dig trap hole and hiding hole/area
  518. Jan 26 23:08:46 * Kailee helps with finding those stones!
  519. Jan 26 23:08:47 <Dozle> and escape path
  520. Jan 26 23:08:50 <Kailee> 3d6+2
  521. Jan 26 23:08:50 <CritSenpai> 3d6+2: 12 [3d6=5,1,4]
  522. Jan 26 23:08:57 * Arthur- will look around for stones
  523. Jan 26 23:08:59 * Scabbard can use survival to come up with a defense plan?
  524. Jan 26 23:08:59 <Arthur-> 2d6+3
  525. Jan 26 23:09:00 <CritSenpai> 2d6+3: 10 [2d6=5,2]
  526. Jan 26 23:09:06 <Scabbard> 3d6+3
  527. Jan 26 23:09:06 <CritSenpai> 3d6+3: 18 [3d6=4,5,6]
  528. Jan 26 23:09:26 * Getter shall help with defenses. He knows a few things.
  529. Jan 26 23:09:36 * Alma will also help with defenses!
  530. Jan 26 23:09:38 <Dozle> 4d6+4 athletics
  531. Jan 26 23:09:38 <CritSenpai> athletics: 18 [4d6=4,6,2,2]
  532. Jan 26 23:10:28 <StarmanTheta> survival, command to guide the drillbur, occult to search for shit, athletics ot set things up, all work
  533. Jan 26 23:11:30 <Arthur-> (none of my skills work here!)
  534. Jan 26 23:11:54 <Dozle> (perception?)
  535. Jan 26 23:11:58 <Alma> Guile for rigging traps and defenses?
  536. Jan 26 23:12:03 <Dozle> ^
  537. Jan 26 23:12:21 <Dozle> or intuition or creative trap
  538. Jan 26 23:12:26 <Dozle> for*
  539. Jan 26 23:12:31 <Scabbard> ((Oh, I have Occult too. So... Uh... after the Survival?))
  540. Jan 26 23:12:38 <Scabbard> 3d6+2
  541. Jan 26 23:12:38 <CritSenpai> 3d6+2: 6 [3d6=1,2,1]
  542. Jan 26 23:12:46 <Arthur-> (Hmm...)
  543. Jan 26 23:12:49 <Scabbard> ((...Yeah I'll help set stuff up...))
  544. Jan 26 23:13:05 <Getter> 3d6+2
  545. Jan 26 23:13:06 <CritSenpai> 3d6+2: 9 [3d6=3,2,2]
  546. Jan 26 23:13:14 <Kailee> (Will tehre be any time after we get done searching for the stones?)
  547. Jan 26 23:13:15 <Alma> 3d6+3 guilin;
  548. Jan 26 23:13:15 <CritSenpai> guilin: 8 [3d6=1,3,1]
  549. Jan 26 23:13:19 <Alma> wooooo
  550. Jan 26 23:13:20 <Arthur-> Oh, I know!
  551. Jan 26 23:13:29 <StarmanTheta> Arthur if you can think of something you can do it
  552. Jan 26 23:13:45 <StarmanTheta> and I'll probably call it a night but you're free to rp amongst yourselves
  553. Jan 26 23:13:54 * Arthur- uses the scrap parts to rig a trip wire in the primary hiding tunnel, so if the humans find it the drillbur will be alerted
  554. Jan 26 23:13:58 <Dozle> (I will sleep too.)
  555. Jan 26 23:14:11 <Dozle> (maybe tech edu for some human trap)
  556. Jan 26 23:14:24 <Alma> good night, theta
  557. Jan 26 23:14:29 <Alma> sorry I wasn't here much
  558. Jan 26 23:14:33 <Arthur-> (Wish I had kept that scrap now.)
  559. Jan 26 23:14:36 <Alma> but it looks like everything's finally sorted out
  560. Jan 26 23:14:39 <StarmanTheta> No you're perfectly fine.
  561. Jan 26 23:14:41 * Dozle is now known as Nyaaa
  562. Jan 26 23:14:52 <StarmanTheta> You had your reasons, and I wasn't as prepared as I should be
  563. Jan 26 23:15:00 <Nyaaa> (We probably wasn't suppose to walk into the cave~)
  564. Jan 26 23:15:02 <StarmanTheta> we'll resume next week
  565. Jan 26 23:15:05 <Arthur-> (I think I'm just feeling uncreative because it's late. Maybe we can do some excavating RP tomorrow."
  566. Jan 26 23:15:12 <StarmanTheta> (well I kinda expected you to use the helicopter)
  567. Jan 26 23:15:45 <Nyaaa> (well we ended up treating human nicely)
  568. Jan 26 23:16:16 <Nyaaa> (We have to decides things earlier)
  569. Jan 26 23:16:23 <Arthur-> (^)
  570. Jan 26 23:16:31 <Nyaaa> (We will start using the forum)
  571. Jan 26 23:16:32 <Scabbard> ((True.))
  572. Jan 26 23:16:37 <Nyaaa> (Post more)
  573. Jan 26 23:16:55 <Nyaaa> (Since everyone isn't on irc all the time)
  574. Jan 26 23:17:13 <Nyaaa> (Next week plan is still beating lower floor poke, so that's that)
  575. Jan 26 23:17:50 <Nyaaa> (Then we probably going back up and catch up with starbuck.)
  576. Jan 26 23:17:55 <StarmanTheta> though I should not be a dick
  577. Jan 26 23:18:27 <StarmanTheta> You all gain 26 exp and 2 career exp for helping out the cave pokemon
