  1. 01[09:32] <@Plutonis> The thirteenth day of the Sengoku era. The place is the newly built Oda Castle in the Owari province. Our heroine, Lady Toku is currently packing her belongings on her own room while preparing herself to escape her own family and leave in the pursuit of destiny, but how can she do it? There are many guards wielding spears and the strange new weapons that lord Nobunaga bought them, strange metal tubes from the foreign lands that shoot lead pellets with a terrifying explosion.
  2. [09:34] <Toku> Admittedly, she doesn't have a lot of ideas. She's never been too adept at being sneaky. But packing her things she definitely is, with a singular focus.
  3. [09:35] <Toku> Perhaps if she stole a ponyta... but could she even get that far?
  4. 01[09:36] <@Plutonis> There's also the fact that there are strong walls heavily guarded around... And only one gate outside!
  5. [09:38] <Toku> Maybe she can use her father's new interest in gaijin weaponry to her advantage, however... Any trade caravans coming, today?
  6. [09:40] <Toku> Or perhaps she can take advantage of a shift change in the guards... A walk might be in order!
  7. 01[09:42] <@Plutonis> There are indeed shift changes! At midnight in fact.
  8. 01[09:43] <@Plutonis> It's not too far from now as well... Toku has half an hour before that.
  9. [09:46] <Toku> Seems like a sound plan, then! All she needs to do is take advantage of that... She slings the full pack over her back and peeks out of her room. She needs to get to the outside grounds without being seen... hoo boy.
  10. [09:46] <Toku> Might need to go through the window... she has a window, right?
  11. 01[09:48] <@Plutonis> A wooden one, yeah! It's only covered by a small paper sheet as well.
  12. [09:49] <Toku> There we go, then. She slides the paper shutter up and climbs onto the windowsill, giving a glance back to her room once more.
  13. [09:50] <Toku> "Oto-san, we'll meet again... and when we do, I -shall- prove myself your daughter." she whispers, before leaping out.
  14. 01[09:52] <@Plutonis> Toku lands on a berry bush as she falls outside. She's scratched by a few twigs, but the upside is that it gives her some concealment. Before her is the wall, who has a musket-wielding guard every 70 meters.
  15. 01[09:53] <@Plutonis> The main gate is a bit away, and the stables are on the other side... To the front of her, however, is the armory, although the entrance to it is guarded by four men, two with muskets and four with spears.
  16. 01[09:53] <@Plutonis> *two with spears
  17. [09:54] <Toku> She always felt safe in these walls... they never felt so imposing until now. She briefly considers storming the armory for the equipment she'll need, but even she doesn't know if she can take on four guards by herself, and the racket caused would surely draw attention. No, best not.
  18. [09:55] <Toku> Her eyes glance around, towards the main gate, and the path there from the bush. She was going to need all of her luck to go unnoticed.
  19. 01[10:00] <@Plutonis> The gate has a garrison of six armed men on it, but... Toku notices someone approaching the garrison and giving them orders... Observing it closely, she realizes that's her aunt, lady Oichi! Even though she looks like more of an older sister than an aunt, as she's only two years older than Toku herself... As the guards leave, your aunt just sits on one of the benches they were in, probably waiting for something... Or someone?
  20. [10:01] <Toku> ... She couldn't know. ...could she? Well, now was probably her best chance anyway. Cautiously, she moves out of the berry bush, avoiding the armory and heading towards the front gate.
  21. 01[10:06] <@Plutonis> (Roll Dex)
  22. [10:08] <Toku> 1d20-2 oh boy
  23. [10:08] <DiceMaid-9001> Toku, oh boy: -1 [1d20=1]
  24. 01[10:09] <@Plutonis> (Welp)
  25. 01[10:11] <@Plutonis> Carrying all that clunky stuff on her pack apparently gives Toku the sneaking prowess of a Rhyhorn! She tumbles around in the direction of the main gate, but ends up tripping herself in a rock and falling facefirst on the ground.
  26. [10:12] <Toku> FACEPLANT
  27. [10:12] <Toku> "...nnnngh."
  28. 01[10:13] <@Plutonis> A hand then quickly helps her lift up. "Erm... Are you okay, Toku?" says lady Oichi. Up closer you can see she's wearing a completely white kimono. "The guards probably heard you... Even then, you should hurry, if brother knows what you are doing..."
  29. [10:14] <Toku> "Oichi..." She groans as she takes her hand. "Thank you. ...why are you risking yourself like this?" she says, too worried about Oichi to immediately flee.
  30. 01[10:14] <@Plutonis> "...I'll probably be scolded by helping you, but... I understand your reasons to do what you must. This is my last day here before i go meet with lord Nagamasa for our marriage..." She says. Yes, a marriage with Azai Nagamasa, a political one as they are one of the Oda neighbours.
  31. 01[10:17] <@Plutonis> "Even if we are becoming allies... I don't know what my brother is planning, he told me to be wary when i arrive at the Azai castle, and..." She quickly heads to the main gate and picks up a smallish key, opening the large lock slamming it shut. "I just ask you something. When i need your help, would you please come to my aid? I-i don't want you to end up like me, with no control of my fate."
  32. [10:19] <Toku> She nods. "...I see. I'm not sure how you found out... but thank you, Oichi. ..I... I hope you can find some measure of happiness there. I..." She swallows an unusual lump welling up in her throat. "Of course, Oichi. You know I'd do anything in my power to aid you. If there's something I can do, out there... send a letter and I'll muster all I can. ...be safe. Even though you're my father's
  33. [10:19] <Toku> sister... you always felt more like mine at times." she smiles a bit weakly and hugs the woman. "...thank you. I must be off now."
  34. [10:21] <Toku> "I won't forget... we'll see each other again, someday." She starts to leave... pausing only a moment to look back.
  35. [10:21] <Toku> "You deserve better than what you've been dealt."
  36. 01[10:21] <@Plutonis> She gives you a bow, giving a radiant smile. "Please... Just return when you know everything is all right, okay? I love you as a sister too." She sniffles for a bit before hugging Toku.
  37. 06[10:22] * Toku nods. "...goodbye, Oichi..." she returns the bow out of respect, squeezes her one more time, and then there she goes, off into the night.
  38. 01[10:22] <@Plutonis> At the background you can hear some shouting. "Eh? Someone unlocked the door? Oh... Hey, lady Toku, lady Oichi, what are you doing?" Some guards yell as they start running at your direction.
  39. [10:23] <Toku> Thump thump thump, though she's not very dextrous, her legs are plenty strong and her heart set. She doesn't look back now.
  40. [10:24] <Toku> "Please be okay, Oichi... I'll keep my word to you..."
  41. [10:25] <Toku> She quickly looks around. A horse, that's what she needs right now if she plans to outrun the guards in the long term. Or something else...
  42. 01[10:26] <@Plutonis> An Oda guard mounted on a blitzle charges at you while you are thinking! "Lady Toku, return now!" He quickly gallops.
  43. [10:26] <Toku> Her eyes sparkle as she sees him approach. There! Perfect!
  44. [10:28] <Toku> "I bear you no ill will, guard-san, as this is your job. But if you wish to drag me back to that life, you will have to use force!" Out comes a pokeball, pop! A bayleef appears in all its glory!
  45. 01[10:28] <@Plutonis> He extends a hand, trying to grab Toku and take her back inside. "Hey, you aren't supposed to run...!"
  46. 01[10:28] <@Plutonis> (Go on)
  47. [10:28] <Toku> (?)
  48. [10:29] <Toku> (Go ahead and roll attacks?)
  49. 01[10:30] <@Plutonis> (Yeah!)
  50. [10:31] <Toku> She Intimidates the Blitzle! The bayleef on the other hand, razor leafs the guard!
  51. [10:31] <Toku> 1d20
  52. [10:31] <DiceMaid-9001> Toku, 1d20: 1 [1d20=1]
  53. [10:31] <Toku> Not very good luck tonight
  54. [10:32] <Toku> A spew of leaves fly out in the night, but the mount is too quick to let its rider be wounded!
  55. 01[10:32] <@Plutonis> 1d20 grab Toku!
  56. [10:32] <DiceMaid-9001> Plutonis, grab Toku!: 5 [1d20=5]
  57. 01[10:33] <@Plutonis> He tries to hold the girl by her arm, but the leaves flying over his head makes him let go of her prematurely. "Oh what the..! Lord Nobunaga is going to be really angry if he learns about this, so just give up!"
  58. 01[10:34] <@Plutonis> He gallops for a bit and turns back at Toku's direction! (Your turn)
  59. [10:34] <Toku> "Let him be angry. At least then he will recognize me!"
  60. [10:34] <Toku> She's the one who grabs for the guard this time, looking to pull him right off his mount.
  61. [10:35] <Toku> 1d20+7 strength
  62. [10:35] <DiceMaid-9001> Toku, strength: 14 [1d20=7]
  63. [10:39] <Toku> If that didn't work, here's another razor leaf
  64. [10:39] <Toku> 1d20
  65. [10:39] <DiceMaid-9001> Toku, 1d20: 11 [1d20=11]
  66. [10:39] <Toku> (on the guard of course)
  67. 01[10:40] <@Plutonis> 1d20+2 STR
  68. [10:40] <DiceMaid-9001> Plutonis, STR: 21 [1d20=19]
  69. [10:40] <Toku> Lucky bastard
  70. 01[10:41] <@Plutonis> He's not pulled out. In fact, he even manages to grab Toku and lifts her to the Blitzle, but ends up hit by the leaves! (Roll damage)
  71. [10:41] <Toku> 2d10+8+23+5+12
  72. [10:41] <DiceMaid-9001> Toku, 2d10+8+23+5+12: 61 [2d10=6,7]
  73. [10:43] <Toku> Toku tries to headbutt the guard to push him off the horse! Another strength check?
  74. 01[10:45] <@Plutonis> (Sure!)
  75. [10:45] <Toku> 1d20+7
  76. [10:45] <DiceMaid-9001> Toku, 1d20+7: 13 [1d20=6]
  77. [10:45] <Toku> (Dicemaid isn't liking me tonight)
  78. 01[10:46] <@Plutonis> The damage he took earlier does help you knock him out of the horse! He rolls around unconscious in the floor.
  79. 01[10:47] <@Plutonis> More Blitzle and their riders are approaching though... Will you take the reins?
  80. [10:47] <Toku> She pushes herself forward on the blitzle, into the saddle if there's one, and recalls Leaf, taking the reins.
  81. [10:47] <Toku> "Hya!"
  82. 06[10:48] * Toku looks to the guards pursuing her with distaste.
  83. [10:48] <Toku> "I am Oda Tokuhime! I am my father's daughter, though not in the way he might have wanted me to be. Farewell!" She spurs the Blitzle onward, trying to lose her pursuers.
  84. 01[10:49] <@Plutonis> "Are we allowed to knock her?" "If we hurt her, Lord Nobunaga will probably have us killed!" "Letting her escape is not a good idea either!" Four riders start to get closer!
  85. 01[10:49] <@Plutonis> "Lady Toku, we are only doing that for your own good!" One of the riders picks up a small pistol and shoots at the Blitzle's leg!
  86. 01[10:49] <@Plutonis> 1d20
  87. [10:49] <DiceMaid-9001> Plutonis, 1d20: 11 [1d20=11]
  88. 01[10:49] <@Plutonis> 2d12+10
  89. [10:49] <DiceMaid-9001> Plutonis, 2d12+10: 22 [2d12=10,2]
  90. 01[10:50] <@Plutonis> It's hurt... Badly, but it runs on!
  91. [10:50] <Toku> "I'm sorry... please try to press on!" She begs the blitzle as she digs in and leans forward.
  92. [10:51] <Toku> Maybe she can lose them by changing terrain...
  93. [10:51] <Toku> Any suitably Rough looking terrain nearby? Steep hills, thick underbrush maybe?
  94. 01[10:54] <@Plutonis> There is a chain of mountains and a river dividing Owari from the Tokugawa lands at east... But getting to there will take a while, and you'd have to go down a steep hill full of gravel!
  95. [10:54] <Toku> That's not a problem
  96. [10:54] <Toku> Terrain Mastery!
  97. [10:54] <Toku> Effect: For the remainder of the encounter, none of your Pokemon receive movement penalties for moving through Rough Terrain, nor Accuracy Penalties when targeting foes in Rough Terrain.
  98. [10:55] <Toku> She directs the Blitzle straight down the steep hill!
  99. 01[11:00] <@Plutonis> Clopclopclop! She slides down the gravel... Only to notice the river below is REALLY harsh-looking. It's full of rocks and it rages on with an unearthly noise as the riders try to follow her, some of them tripping and rolling down the hill. "She's getting away!"
  100. [11:03] <Toku> "Don't follow me, you idiots! You're going to get yourselves killed!" She'd better look out for herself at the moment, though. Oh god, that river, aaaaaah! Well fuck, too late to turn back now, she only has this one chance...
  101. [11:03] <Toku> She reaches for an empty apricorn ball to tap the blitzle with, probably in vain as it's likely already owned...
  102. 01[11:05] <@Plutonis> It's unresponsive... And it doesn't want to cross the river as well!
  103. 01[11:05] <@Plutonis> In fact, it even starts flailing around to dismount Toku! Better roll STR!
  104. [11:06] <Toku> 1d20+7
  105. [11:06] <DiceMaid-9001> Toku, 1d20+7: 16 [1d20=9]
  106. [11:08] <Toku> She dismounts anyway, river be damned! The only difference is that she probably doesn't end up breaking her neck doing it. Now if she can only cross without killing herself...
  107. [11:09] <Toku> I mean it's probably also a bad idea to try and force a wounded electric horse to ford a raging river too
  108. 01[11:09] <@Plutonis> (Oregon Trail feels)
  109. 01[11:11] <@Plutonis> The Blitzle quickly runs away, trying to go uphill... Speaking of which, the Oda soldiers are getting closer!
  110. [11:14] <Toku> INTO THE RIVER
  111. [11:14] <Toku> THIS IS A SANE AND WELL THOUGHT OUT IDEA
  112. 01[11:16] <@Plutonis> As she jumps in the river, she's immediately smashed into a rock by the raging rapids! Toku's consciousness slowly drifts off as she's taken down the stream...
  113. 01[11:16] <@Plutonis> [/session]
