- Sep 07 20:04:42 <StarmanTheta> Last time on Where Does This Ocean Go
- Sep 07 20:05:20 <StarmanTheta> After thoroughly humiliating the swordswoman Ms. FIner, the party turned the mooks over to the rangers before taking their new friend, Lillypad, to show to the good doctor
- Sep 07 20:05:49 <StarmanTheta> Rather pleased with you all, he decided to let you guys have some free time as he continues preparations, though the little water shaymin is a bit of a handful!
- Sep 07 20:06:03 * Jm2c|2 is now known as Jm2c
- Sep 07 20:06:46 <StarmanTheta> With a bit of downtime, the party decided to take Ocean and Hazel up on a pokemon battle, boys v girls, that resulted in the boys team victorious after an overly long struggle. Also Eric got lost in a sea of muscles
- Sep 07 20:07:18 <Eric-> Au contraire, I'm an excellent navigator. I know exactly where I'm going, thank-you-very-much~
- Sep 07 20:07:22 <StarmanTheta> But things started to go awry as lilypad started to act strange, turning towards the forest even with it out of sight. Not to mention, the fact that the rangers won't answer
- Sep 07 20:07:34 <StarmanTheta> what does it all mean? We find out, tonight, where this ocean goes.
- Sep 07 20:08:01 <StarmanTheta> We resume where we left off. You guys are on the beachfront, it's around 3:30, Lillypads is squeaking and and pouting, very anxious
- Sep 07 20:08:04 <StarmanTheta> What will you do?
- Sep 07 20:09:21 <Lindy> After applying Nicholas's patches to Pan, Lindy gets up. "Time to check that out."
- Sep 07 20:09:32 * Giselle takes Lilypad and flags down a cab
- Sep 07 20:09:34 <Eric-> "Golly, I just wonder what on earth the issue could possible be."
- Sep 07 20:09:51 <Eric-> "... Maybe we should poke our heads at Ranger HQ first, see if anything jumps out as unusual?"
- Sep 07 20:10:03 <Lindy> "Well they weren't answering."
- Sep 07 20:10:13 <StarmanTheta> The only thing that hurts on Pan is his pride. And his wounds, but mostly his pride. Lillypad keeps whining
- Sep 07 20:10:24 <Eric-> "Exactly. It seems unlikely that they're ALL out... although it could be some kind of emergency situation."
- Sep 07 20:10:33 <Giselle> Well... we did ask Ocean and Hazel to handle that
- Sep 07 20:11:13 <Nicholas> "Yes, we did ask them. We should check out what's making Lily act like that first."
- Sep 07 20:11:42 <Giselle> "Then we should get to the woods! we need a car, though."
- Sep 07 20:11:54 * Eric- nods in assent. "Poor thing's gonna have a heart attack if we don't, I suppose. Let's get investigating." While in transit by whatever means they end up using, he texts the professor informing him of their current situation.
- Sep 07 20:11:55 <StarmanTheta> You remember, from your previous rolls, that she's very much in the direction of the forest
- Sep 07 20:12:05 <StarmanTheta> Flagging down a cab is a bit of an ordeal, but you eventually get one
- Sep 07 20:12:35 <StarmanTheta> The professor promptly texts you back, [Find out what you can, and be safe! I'm heading to the Rangers HQ right now!]
- Sep 07 20:12:50 <StarmanTheta> Then a second later, [Wait, if you can, stop by the lab. ]
- Sep 07 20:12:55 <StarmanTheta> [I have some things that will help.]
- Sep 07 20:13:03 * Nicholas starts preparing some medicine on the back of the cab.
- Sep 07 20:13:10 <StarmanTheta> [They'll be waiting for you in the main lobby.]
- Sep 07 20:13:42 * Lindy relays the new directions to the cab driver somewhat impolitely.
- Sep 07 20:13:42 * Eric- tip-taps replies. [Thanks, stay safe - no clue what could be happening at Ranger HQ.] "Think we have time to swing by the lab? Professor's left us some supplies in the main lobby."
- Sep 07 20:13:51 * Giselle hopa into the cab. "Head to the jungle as fast as you can, alright? there is extra if you can get us there in 15 minutes or less."
- Sep 07 20:14:24 * Giselle twirls the Professor's credit card.
- Sep 07 20:14:38 <StarmanTheta> It's up to you whether you stop by the lab or continue without doing so
- Sep 07 20:15:32 <Nicholas> "I say we stop, but quickly. Eric, you're the fastest. Run, grab whatever it's there and return to the cab."
- Sep 07 20:15:35 <Eric-> I vote yes, we can in and out whatever's there fairly fast.
- Sep 07 20:15:38 <Eric-> "Can do!"
- Sep 07 20:16:51 <StarmanTheta> Ok
- Sep 07 20:17:05 <StarmanTheta> The cap driver pulls into the circle drive, in front of the labs
- Sep 07 20:17:28 <StarmanTheta> Sure enough, right when you get in, there's a small trolley with a note on it in the prof's handwriting. There's a box for you
- Sep 07 20:17:32 <StarmanTheta> The box contains the following:
- Sep 07 20:17:37 <StarmanTheta> 1 Wonder Launcher
- Sep 07 20:17:48 <StarmanTheta> 3 Super Potions
- Sep 07 20:17:53 <StarmanTheta> 1 Full Restore
- Sep 07 20:17:55 * Nicholas finishes preparing three full restores, and starts making hyper potions.
- Sep 07 20:17:58 <StarmanTheta> 2 Full Heals
- Sep 07 20:18:25 <Eric-> "Awful generous. Hopefully we won't actually have to use this stuff..."
- Sep 07 20:18:26 <StarmanTheta> And two ultra balls. Y'know, just in case.
- Sep 07 20:18:31 * Giselle whips up some lax incense
- Sep 07 20:18:37 <StarmanTheta> oh, and 2 revives
- Sep 07 20:18:45 <Giselle> Ooooh~
- Sep 07 20:18:52 <StarmanTheta> The doc takes care of you, when he thinks you guys might die
- Sep 07 20:18:59 <Eric-> :c
- Sep 07 20:19:21 * Eric- carts it out and resumes hurried things-organizing while they're on the way.
- Sep 07 20:19:45 <StarmanTheta> Right
- Sep 07 20:20:39 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0POZcmKyaE
- Sep 07 20:20:57 * Nicholas prepared 3 full restores, 2 hyper potions and 2 hyper patches.
- Sep 07 20:21:33 <StarmanTheta> After awhile, you guys arrive on the edge of the forest. The weather has turned to a slight drizzle, and lillypads is practically uncontainable. As soon as you get out, she hops out, squeaking for you all to follow, as she starts leading the way--though, thankfully, deliberately slow enough so that you may follow
- Sep 07 20:22:16 * Lindy doesn't seem particularly bothered. She follows at a decent pace.
- Sep 07 20:22:57 * Eric- can't lead the pack on account of his awful stamina, but has Ryuju tail Lillypads. Bodyguardhsep
- Sep 07 20:23:00 <Giselle> "The rain is more than a little ominous, but hopefully advantagous
- Sep 07 20:24:18 <StarmanTheta> As you go through the forest, there are several pokemon you pass along the way--scythers, serperiors, croagunks, joltiks, goomy, tangela, and chatot--though they don't actively impede your progress
- Sep 07 20:24:26 <StarmanTheta> You may interact with them if you wish
- Sep 07 20:24:38 <Nicholas> "Ok, guys, grab a super potion and a full restore each of you. I'll have the rest on me, as well as the launcher. I can handle it."
- Sep 07 20:25:30 <Eric-> "Spreading those out seems like a solid plan, yeah."
- Sep 07 20:25:57 <Lindy> "On it~" Lindy looks around curiously. "That's a lot of pokémon watching..."
- Sep 07 20:26:35 * Nicholas eagerly watches some tangelas, but thinks through and keep following everyone, Amar right behind him.
- Sep 07 20:27:31 * Eric- surveys the crowd(?). "I wonder if they've just seen more humans come through?" In particular he notices the Goomy out of the corner of his eye... that'd be interesting for cementing his black sheep status, heh. "I'll catch up in a second." He leans down next to the goo and smiles.
- Sep 07 20:27:38 <Giselle> I gues Lilipad gives us a bit of clout
- Sep 07 20:28:32 <StarmanTheta> Goomy is in a shallow marsh--thankfully not poisoned. It looks up at you curiously
- Sep 07 20:29:32 <StarmanTheta> Amar seems pretty oblivious to the dire tone everone has, simply being happy to be surrounded by FOREST and the like! Lillypad is like >:|
- Sep 07 20:29:58 * Eric- considered how he was going to sell this. "Hey, things have been really troubled around here! Me and my friends are gonna go deal with the responsible people, I think. Wanna come watch?"
- Sep 07 20:31:23 <StarmanTheta> Squish squish?
- Sep 07 20:31:43 <StarmanTheta> It doesn't seem to know what to think of you
- Sep 07 20:32:58 <Giselle> ...seduce him
- Sep 07 20:33:16 <StarmanTheta> (oh god)
- Sep 07 20:33:23 <Eric-> (pffft)
- Sep 07 20:33:38 <Lindy> (social characters pls)
- Sep 07 20:34:01 * Eric- tries to think this through fast. He didn't have the luxury of time to waste here... Aw, hell with it, let's see if he likes cuddles - RIP this suit. He just hugs the dumb thing and tries to scurry off with it to rejoin the group. If it wants out such is life.
- Sep 07 20:34:50 <StarmanTheta> Eric, give me a capture roll
- Sep 07 20:35:18 <Eric-> 1d100-19
- Sep 07 20:35:18 <CritSenpai> 1d100-19: 40 [1d100=59]
- Sep 07 20:35:37 <StarmanTheta> let's see here
- Sep 07 20:36:17 <StarmanTheta> The goomy looks...really confused as you slime up your suit. After you leave, though, the little thing starts to slink after you
- Sep 07 20:36:46 <StarmanTheta> in any case...where was I?
- Sep 07 20:37:02 <Eric-> Lillypads is >:|. We are going to the >:| thing.
- Sep 07 20:37:27 <StarmanTheta> Right, onwards
- Sep 07 20:37:56 <Lindy> And running and stuff. Slowly because Eric has less lung volume than Lindy's jacket pockets.
- Sep 07 20:38:09 <Giselle> Would it be pokemon edu to tell if this rain is due to a pokemon?
- Sep 07 20:38:14 <Eric-> Shut your face.
- Sep 07 20:38:33 <StarmanTheta> the goomy, by the way, is level 35, male, with dry skin and gooey
- Sep 07 20:39:04 <StarmanTheta> Anyway, after awhile...
- Sep 07 20:39:19 <StarmanTheta> You bumble through underbrush, the rain picking up, until you come across a small stream
- Sep 07 20:39:44 <StarmanTheta> that leads to the mouth of a gaping cave! This must be the entrance to one of those underground tunnels mentioned in the travel guide
- Sep 07 20:40:36 <Eric-> "Didn't they suggest this was the mystery mon's likely habitat?"
- Sep 07 20:42:13 <Nicholas> "Oh, god. Please don't tell me we have to get in there..."
- Sep 07 20:42:44 <StarmanTheta> Lillypad looks like she wants you to hurry up. THe faint sound of rushing water emmanates from further in the cave, with a scent of earth, salt, and water wafting through the poorly lit limestone banks that are the only way in, unless you wanted to take a dip
- Sep 07 20:43:12 <Eric-> "I can guess if we don't, Lillies is going in without us, so we don't have much choice."
- Sep 07 20:43:21 * Giselle starts speeding up after Lilypad
- Sep 07 20:43:42 <Nicholas> "I'm really not ok with this." Nich says, but follows anyway, holding Amar's neck.
- Sep 07 20:43:47 <Giselle> "Come on! It's just a cave!"
- Sep 07 20:44:19 * Eric- wonders why Nick has a thing against caves, but doesn't exactly have time to ask right now! Hustle hustle, in we go.
- Sep 07 20:44:34 <Lindy> "Just don't trip. And bring a light."
- Sep 07 20:50:21 * Eric- looks down at his now partially-pink suit. "... Aw, hell with this. And this isn't a suit activity anyway." While everyone's distracted trying not to slip on the limestone he takes the oppurtunity to lose his shirt and tie alongside scrubbing some goo out of his jacket. Thank goodness for black clothing.
- Sep 07 20:51:03 <Lindy> "Less stripping, more not tripping, please."
- Sep 07 20:54:35 <Giselle> "Hmmm..."
- Sep 07 20:55:06 * Giselle intenionally starts sliding along the limestone
- Sep 07 20:55:09 <Eric-> "The rain out there was pretty sudden, and the fact it coincides with Lilies getting upset is... telling."
- Sep 07 20:55:59 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p2oOMuCAkI
- Sep 07 20:56:46 <StarmanTheta> The limestone, while damp, is fortunately wide enough and dry enough that you guys can file through, single file, though the light is rather dim. Lillypad doesn't seem to mind, as she can find her way through easily even without a light source
- Sep 07 20:57:00 <StarmanTheta> I'm going to assume you guys have light sources
- Sep 07 20:57:15 <Lindy> We have Ryuju if nothing else
- Sep 07 20:58:06 <Eric-> We've got flashlights too I imagine. And yeah, sheep can glow if needed.
- Sep 07 20:58:13 * Giselle uses the light of her pokedex
- Sep 07 20:58:51 <StarmanTheta> So who do you all have out?
- Sep 07 20:59:02 <Giselle> Lilypad
- Sep 07 20:59:30 * Eric- realizes Ryuju's services are unneeded and recalls, throwing out Implanta before whispering to her to keep quiet.
- Sep 07 20:59:31 <Lindy> This is Dunsany's natural environment. Time to kick some more ass with a drill snake
- Sep 07 21:00:32 <Eric-> This might be the climax. Jerkfluff must be there to ruin it.
- Sep 07 21:00:35 <Eric-> It's the rules.
- Sep 07 21:01:46 <StarmanTheta> right
- Sep 07 21:01:58 <Eric-> Nick mentioned having Amar out iirc
- Sep 07 21:02:00 <StarmanTheta> sorry was finangling something with r20
- Sep 07 21:02:34 <Nicholas> Yes, Amar's out.
- Sep 07 21:03:08 <StarmanTheta> Ok
- Sep 07 21:03:10 <StarmanTheta> soooo
- Sep 07 21:03:17 <StarmanTheta> You walk through the cave for some time
- Sep 07 21:03:23 <Giselle> yaaaay, now Nick isn't the only one with huge pokemon
- Sep 07 21:03:26 <StarmanTheta> and you ontice it becomes a lot more...managable
- Sep 07 21:03:47 * Eric- is the only one without a 2x2 mon!
- Sep 07 21:04:06 <StarmanTheta> the cave floor becomes less slippery and jagged, more smoothed, and the tunnels become wider and more easy to navigate. It's like someone did some tunneling in here
- Sep 07 21:04:10 <Giselle> you get the doomsheep
- Sep 07 21:04:17 * Amos (~Defamos@27649FD8:843CF7FA:F9F6308:IP) has joined #ClearOcean
- Sep 07 21:04:25 <StarmanTheta> a theory confirmed when you come across some stairs carved into the stone floor
- Sep 07 21:04:27 <Eric-> "I think we're on the road more travelled now."
- Sep 07 21:05:08 <Nicholas> "It's still a cave." Nick says, grudgingly.
- Sep 07 21:05:12 <StarmanTheta> The smell of slimy cave walls and the sound of distant running water contrast with an archetecture that, while primative, is definitely not entirely the work of mother nature
- Sep 07 21:05:37 <StarmanTheta> You see a small collection of strange carvings, and milling about them are some pokemon--scrafty and quagsire
- Sep 07 21:05:41 <Eric-> "... You know, I wonder if this is older than modern society."
- Sep 07 21:05:44 <Giselle> "Are there just interior decorators who run around designing chic caves and ancient dungeons?"
- Sep 07 21:06:08 <StarmanTheta> They regard you rather suddenly, the scrafty especially seeming peeved that you've stumbled across their territory. They glare at you and hiss
- Sep 07 21:06:11 <StarmanTheta> What will you do?
- Sep 07 21:06:13 <Eric-> "In the ancient pass, maybe."
- Sep 07 21:06:33 <StarmanTheta> arrange yourselves as you like btw, don't go past the stairs
- Sep 07 21:06:52 <Eric-> What's Lilypads doing right now?
- Sep 07 21:07:46 <StarmanTheta> Lillypad has halted, and is looking at you all for guidance on what to do here
- Sep 07 21:08:05 * Giselle walks up to the nearest pokemon. "Excuse moi, but could you give us directions?"
- Sep 07 21:08:07 <StarmanTheta> The pokemon, at least, don't seem too concerned about her, but hte rest of you they are antsy about
- Sep 07 21:08:18 <StarmanTheta> The quagsire, right?
- Sep 07 21:08:38 <Giselle> yep
- Sep 07 21:08:54 <StarmanTheta> The thing huffs and bulks up as if about to spit water. It really seems to want you to get away from it
- Sep 07 21:09:56 * Eric- leans down next to fluffball while Giselle and the others have a stalemate on the stairs. Stairmate? "Inch past these guys while we try to get past them. Make sure they don't see you."
- Sep 07 21:10:09 * Giselle takes out a jar of honey to share. "A group of bad people came through here, did they not? We are looking to stop them."
- Sep 07 21:11:02 <Giselle> 6d6+5 charm
- Sep 07 21:11:02 <CritSenpai> charm: 28 [6d6=6,1,4,6,2,4]
- Sep 07 21:12:23 <StarmanTheta> It, at the very least, doesn't spit water in your face. Lillypad squeaks something out, as if trying to back you up
- Sep 07 21:12:46 <StarmanTheta> This assauges the quagsire...for now, though the other pokemon also seem to be expecting something
- Sep 07 21:13:07 <Eric-> "How much honey do you have on you?"
- Sep 07 21:13:40 <StarmanTheta> Eric give me a perception check
- Sep 07 21:13:47 <Eric-> 3d6
- Sep 07 21:13:47 <CritSenpai> 3d6: 13 [3d6=5,3,5]
- Sep 07 21:14:03 <StarmanTheta> Eh good enough
- Sep 07 21:14:16 * Giselle whispers "about four more jars."
- Sep 07 21:14:51 <StarmanTheta> as you pass by that carving, you notice that inlaid in it seems to be a strange set of writing, below which seems to be pictograms of various pokemon footprints, though it would take an edu general or edu occult roll to know what they are
- Sep 07 21:14:54 <Eric-> "I imagine if we can placate the four of them and hurry on that'd be a better use of our time than fighting them."
- Sep 07 21:16:07 <Lindy> "Much."
- Sep 07 21:16:10 * Eric- waves Lindy over, dumb occult things.
- Sep 07 21:16:25 <StarmanTheta> So do you use the rest of your hon ey?
- Sep 07 21:16:33 <Lindy> Lindy raises her eyebrows and climbs over, keeping an eye on the potentially hostile pokémon.
- Sep 07 21:17:43 <Lindy> 6d6+3 genedu with AP why not. Is it one or the other or can occult edu supply other info genedu won't?
- Sep 07 21:17:43 <CritSenpai> genedu with AP why not. Is it one or the other or can occult edu supply other info genedu won't?: 24 [6d6=5,3,3,4,3,3]
- Sep 07 21:17:46 <Nicholas> "What are we gonna do?" Nick whispers.
- Sep 07 21:18:07 <Lindy> 6d6+5 bah, skill monkey
- Sep 07 21:18:07 <CritSenpai> bah, skill monkey: 31 [6d6=5,3,4,6,6,2]
- Sep 07 21:18:18 * Giselle slowly starts handing out jars to the rest of them
- Sep 07 21:19:01 <StarmanTheta> Sec
- Sep 07 21:20:21 <StarmanTheta> As Lindy scrambles over, she recognizes these strange inscriptions from one of her own college courses on pokemon in ancient times (what a boring pre-req for her major but whatever, needed the social sciences credits to graduate)
- Sep 07 21:20:59 <StarmanTheta> The top inscription, she recognizes as an ancient masiirkian tongue that hasn't been used for over a millenia, though the footprints are beyond her
- Sep 07 21:21:09 <StarmanTheta> The inscription reads as follows:
- Sep 07 21:22:04 <StarmanTheta> Roughly translated, it means "Here is the home of the mother of the river, and her children. Woe betide those who desecrate this place."
- Sep 07 21:22:39 <Lindy> "It says don't feed the pokémon."
- Sep 07 21:22:40 <StarmanTheta> Giselle starts passing out her sweet, sticky bribes. The pokemon seem confused at first, but as they begin to eat they seem placated. You guys are cool. For now.
- Sep 07 21:22:54 <StarmanTheta> You can see there are two other carvings.
- Sep 07 21:23:12 <Lindy> Shall I also roll Occult to get something on the footprints or has that sailed?
- Sep 07 21:23:29 <StarmanTheta> er 4 others
- Sep 07 21:23:42 <StarmanTheta> You can give an intuition if you'd like
- Sep 07 21:23:52 <Eric-> "These'll be here, but the goodwill from the honey's only going to last so long. I feel like we should get past these guys and return later."
- Sep 07 21:23:57 <Eric-> stay here*
- Sep 07 21:23:58 <Giselle> can I intuit as well?
- Sep 07 21:24:06 <StarmanTheta> If you'd like
- Sep 07 21:24:10 <Lindy> 4d6+2 book abilities to the rescue
- Sep 07 21:24:11 <CritSenpai> book abilities to the rescue: 12 [4d6=2,1,2,5]
- Sep 07 21:24:30 <Giselle> 4d6+1
- Sep 07 21:24:31 <CritSenpai> 4d6+1: 17 [4d6=3,3,5,5]
- Sep 07 21:24:37 <Lindy> "What it actually says is we're on the money." She reads her translation for the others.
- Sep 07 21:24:41 <StarmanTheta> Lindy yyou don't know what the footprints are about
- Sep 07 21:25:21 <StarmanTheta> Giselle doesn't really know what the inscription means, but hte way the two are layered together, you imagine that the footprints are arranged as if it's the above text in another language, though you've never heard of any language that is written like that
- Sep 07 21:25:38 * Eric- takes a picture of the various carvings to send to Clarisse later, on the off chance they can't resolve their little mystery today. If she responds at all, anyway.
- Sep 07 21:25:58 * Lindy takes a look at the other carvings, in the meantime.
- Sep 07 21:26:09 <StarmanTheta> Right, since you got that high on occult, I won't make you roll again
- Sep 07 21:26:18 <Lindy> That was general
- Sep 07 21:26:24 * Nicholas just stays close to Amar, not really interested about the cave drawings.
- Sep 07 21:27:27 <StarmanTheta> The one in the bottom left is accompanied by pictures of what look to be shaymins. Roughly translated, it says, "The children cleanse the water. They are not of the mother, yet call her mother. To she alone do they answer."
- Sep 07 21:27:42 <StarmanTheta> Amar wants honey too >:c
- Sep 07 21:28:11 <StarmanTheta> And the last up here reads roughly as follows:
- Sep 07 21:28:17 <Nicholas> "Later, Amar. Let's just getting out of here first, 'kay?"
- Sep 07 21:28:23 <Giselle> "Say... Did a bunch of humans pass through here?"
- Sep 07 21:28:36 <Giselle> 6d6+5 charm
- Sep 07 21:28:36 <CritSenpai> charm: 29 [6d6=6,4,1,5,6,2]
- Sep 07 21:29:03 <StarmanTheta> "The mother protects this place, so as she was told. For as long as needed, she protects this place. Even as she forgets herself, she protects this place. She shall watch these waters until the day is come."
- Sep 07 21:29:19 <StarmanTheta> The other carvings are too worn with time to read
- Sep 07 21:29:22 <Lindy> "This one says there's more than one shaymin. They're not related to the mystery pokemon but listen to it. This one... uh." Lindy tilts her head.
- Sep 07 21:29:51 * Eric- scowls. "UGH. Cryptic ancient messages. My favorite thing."
- Sep 07 21:30:08 <StarmanTheta> The pokemon are too busy enjoying their honey, though the scrafty shake their heads. You guys look weird, like scrafty with pants that stay on
- Sep 07 21:30:43 <StarmanTheta> IN any case
- Sep 07 21:30:49 <Giselle> "I dunno... I like ancient texts."
- Sep 07 21:30:51 <StarmanTheta> Lillypads seems ready to move on. Do you follow her?
- Sep 07 21:31:06 <Giselle> "Think you can teach me some of that language later, Lindy?"
- Sep 07 21:31:12 <Eric-> We probably should, as ""informative"" as this has been.
- Sep 07 21:31:19 <Giselle> You know it, boss!
- Sep 07 21:31:20 <Lindy> "Can try. I'm wondering what's got her pads in a twist, if not humans."
- Sep 07 21:32:30 <Nicholas> "Please, let' move on."
- Sep 07 21:32:34 <Lindy> Lindy's ready to follow along, after taking several pictures in good enough quality to recognize the writing.
- Sep 07 21:32:44 <StarmanTheta> As you move on
- Sep 07 21:34:18 <StarmanTheta> hold on
- Sep 07 21:34:19 <StarmanTheta> stop giselle
- Sep 07 21:34:26 <Giselle> ok
- Sep 07 21:34:26 <Eric-> "If it makes you feel better, I think this might be the end of the road."
- Sep 07 21:34:33 <StarmanTheta> Stop around there
- Sep 07 21:35:09 <StarmanTheta> Enterring the new room, the sounds of russhing water once again become highly audible as you see an underground stream pouring through the cavern. There's a bridge to the other side, but there are pokemon blocking your way
- Sep 07 21:35:52 <StarmanTheta> These guys, once again, look at you like, "what the heck are you doing here"
- Sep 07 21:35:54 <Eric-> "Is that a throne over there?"
- Sep 07 21:36:08 <Giselle> "Hi, we're with Lilypad."
- Sep 07 21:36:29 <Giselle> "She's really worried too, could you let us through?"
- Sep 07 21:36:47 * Giselle holds up Lilypad so they see how sad she is.
- Sep 07 21:37:03 <StarmanTheta> Lillypad squeaks, but the mons don't seem very convinced
- Sep 07 21:37:12 <Giselle> 6d6+5 charm
- Sep 07 21:37:12 <CritSenpai> charm: 32 [6d6=6,3,6,5,6,1]
- Sep 07 21:37:38 * Giselle whispers "Go for the pout, Lily."
- Sep 07 21:37:46 * Eric- steps forward, making it plain his patience is running out by stomping his foot into the ground and throwing his voice. "I believe the young lady asked you to LET US THROUGH."
- Sep 07 21:37:54 <Eric-> 6d6+1+1d6 spending AP
- Sep 07 21:37:55 <CritSenpai> spending AP: 23 [6d6=6,4,4,4,2,1; 1d6=1]
- Sep 07 21:37:57 <StarmanTheta> They still don't seem very convinced, what with all these unfamiliar mons .
- Sep 07 21:38:03 <Eric-> (intimidate)
- Sep 07 21:38:03 <StarmanTheta> oh lord
- Sep 07 21:39:08 <StarmanTheta> 4#3d6+1; 4d6

- Sep 07 21:39:13 <StarmanTheta> Not even close
- Sep 07 21:39:27 <Nicholas> "Oh-oh, that can't turn out well."
- Sep 07 21:39:29 <StarmanTheta> they all are rather shaken, but obviously dn't like you very much, but are unwilling to make the first move
- Sep 07 21:39:40 <StarmanTheta> which means that it's time for inits. You get the surprise round on this one though
- Sep 07 21:39:59 <StarmanTheta> (pokemon have horrible focus rolls)
- Sep 07 21:40:12 <Lindy> Lindy 20, Dunsany 31
- Sep 07 21:40:18 <Eric-> Eric 25, Implanta 30
- Sep 07 21:40:36 <Nicholas> Nick 12, Amar 8
- Sep 07 21:40:37 * Eric- shakes his head. Stubborn wilds never changed no matter where you were.

- Sep 07 21:41:49 * StarmanTheta has changed the topic to: Where Does This Ocean Go? | Mondays at 8PM EST GMT -4 | http://paradoxhaze.wikidot.com/where-does-this-ocean-go | Dunsany 31, Implanta 30, Eric and Giselle 25, Lillypad and Lindy 20, Toxicroak 17, Nick 12, Amar and Crawdaunt 8, Quagsire 7

- Sep 07 21:41:55 <StarmanTheta> Dunsany is up!
- Sep 07 21:42:29 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zl0q3CrkxE
- Sep 07 21:43:59 <Lindy> Lindy binds Reckless Advance and issues Brutal Training as priority with Commander's Voice, followed by Dunsany slithering up to that quagsire and giving it a full-on belly flop! Body Slam!
- Sep 07 21:44:15 <Lindy> 1d20 AC 2
- Sep 07 21:44:16 <CritSenpai> AC 2: 7 [1d20=7]
- Sep 07 21:44:16 <StarmanTheta> It begins
- Sep 07 21:44:19 <StarmanTheta> that'll hit
- Sep 07 21:44:30 <Lindy> but not paralyze, alas
- Sep 07 21:44:45 <Lindy> 3d10+10+20+8 physical normal damage
- Sep 07 21:44:45 <CritSenpai> physical normal damage: 56 [3d10=1,7,10]
- Sep 07 21:45:03 <StarmanTheta> Dunsany flies through the air with the grace of an anvil, and hits like one too
- Sep 07 21:45:08 <Lindy> And Dunsany is vulnerable for a full round. Next!
- Sep 07 21:45:08 <StarmanTheta> Implanta!
- Sep 07 21:45:12 <Eric-> Implanta doesn't wanna deal with no poison bullshit and makes adorable noises at the Toxicroak on this side of the river in hopes of appeasing it into zzzzs.
- Sep 07 21:45:30 <Eric-> 1d20+1 vs ac 6 sleep, grass whistel
- Sep 07 21:45:30 <CritSenpai> vs ac 6 sleep, grass whistel: 21 [1d20=20]
- Sep 07 21:45:46 * Eric- 's Flourish! The Toxicroak takes a -4 to its first Save Check.
- Sep 07 21:45:46 <StarmanTheta> THUD! The toxicroak falls flat on its face, snozing
- Sep 07 21:46:07 <Eric-> That's all!
- Sep 07 21:46:16 <StarmanTheta> Eric-!
- Sep 07 21:46:53 * Eric- can't get across the river quite yet to his disappointment, so he decides to pile on the Quagsire with Dunsay instead. Bounce!
- Sep 07 21:46:57 <Eric-> 1d20 vs ac 4 physical flying
- Sep 07 21:46:58 <CritSenpai> vs ac 4 physical flying: 4 [1d20=4]
- Sep 07 21:47:09 <Eric-> Obviously not happening. Done!
- Sep 07 21:47:14 <StarmanTheta> Unfortunately, that won't hit
- Sep 07 21:47:17 <StarmanTheta> Giselle!

- Sep 07 21:48:28 <Giselle> D:
- Sep 07 21:48:45 <StarmanTheta> that, unfortunately, won't work
- Sep 07 21:49:13 <Giselle> still... it gets -3 to save checks for a round
- Sep 07 21:49:27 <Giselle> SO EVERYONE SPAM IT WITH SHIT!
- Sep 07 21:49:46 <StarmanTheta> Oh lord

- Sep 07 21:51:24 <CritSenpai> 6d6+5: 29 [6d6=6,4,2,2,6,4]
- Sep 07 21:51:31 <StarmanTheta> This quagsire is not sure what is going on but feels very uncomfortable about it
- Sep 07 21:51:36 <StarmanTheta> not gonna bother rolling it as he fails anyway
- Sep 07 21:52:20 <StarmanTheta> so he's infatuated, and whatever else that does
- Sep 07 21:52:57 <Lindy> Lindy's used her standard action on priority, so she'll just move up a bit and end turn
- Sep 07 21:53:03 <StarmanTheta> Lillypad!
- Sep 07 21:53:13 <Lindy> oh right lilypad was first
- Sep 07 21:53:20 <Giselle> Lily is gonna use dat magical leafs
- Sep 07 21:53:35 <Giselle> 1d20 cannot miss
- Sep 07 21:53:36 <CritSenpai> cannot miss: 11 [1d20=11]
- Sep 07 21:53:45 <StarmanTheta> Hits ofc
- Sep 07 21:54:02 <StarmanTheta> vs who?
- Sep 07 21:54:44 <Giselle> 3d6+30 at crawdaunt
- Sep 07 21:54:45 <CritSenpai> at crawdaunt: 40 [3d6=2,4,4]
- Sep 07 21:55:02 <StarmanTheta> hits and does a fair bit of damage
- Sep 07 21:55:11 <StarmanTheta> The toxicroak can't act this turn, which means it's nick's turn
- Sep 07 21:55:23 <Nicholas> "Amar, let's first take care of our guys, 'kay? Full protection." Nicholas issues Inspiring Order and gets Amar Excited.
- Sep 07 21:55:54 <Nicholas> That's it for Nick.
- Sep 07 21:56:05 <StarmanTheta> Amaryliss!
- Sep 07 21:56:25 <Nicholas> Amaryllis's comes to the center of the group and his flower grows brightly. A few seconds later, so do his teammates. Reflect on the team and everyone's Excited now (-1 AP).
- Sep 07 21:56:51 <StarmanTheta> Nice
- Sep 07 21:57:06 <StarmanTheta> the crawdaunt and quags can't move this turn, which means Dunsany is up again!
- Sep 07 21:57:49 <StarmanTheta> what does best scrubblemuffin do, Lindy?
- Sep 07 21:58:09 * Lindy raises her arms in encouragement to issue Brutal Training as priority, and Dunsany rears up to give the quagsire a good old Headbutt!
- Sep 07 21:58:24 <Lindy> 1d20 vs AC 2, flinch on 11+
- Sep 07 21:58:24 <CritSenpai> vs AC 2, flinch on 11+: 19 [1d20=19]
- Sep 07 21:58:36 <Lindy> Crit thanks to Brutal Training!
- Sep 07 21:58:37 <Giselle> "I have an idea! everyone stay close!"
- Sep 07 21:58:56 <Lindy> 4d10+20+20+8 physical normal damage
- Sep 07 21:58:56 <CritSenpai> physical normal damage: 75 [4d10=5,9,9,4]
- Sep 07 21:59:05 <Lindy> "What's that?"
- Sep 07 21:59:26 * Eric- is going to be going across the river, apologies.
- Sep 07 21:59:55 <Giselle> "We cross the river."
- Sep 07 22:00:27 <Lindy> Dunsany is vulnerable again and it's Implanta's turn. And I guess quagsire is tripped on top of flinched, for good measure.
- Sep 07 22:00:28 <StarmanTheta> wow
- Sep 07 22:00:34 <StarmanTheta> the quags is down for the count wiht that one
- Sep 07 22:00:37 <Eric-> thank mr. reckless
- Sep 07 22:00:47 <StarmanTheta> wait no, not quite yet
- Sep 07 22:00:49 <StarmanTheta> but getting there
- Sep 07 22:00:55 <StarmanTheta> Implanta!
- Sep 07 22:00:58 <Eric-> Implanta... backs up a bit and uses Energy Ball on the Crawdaunt closer to the party.
- Sep 07 22:01:01 <Eric-> 1d20+1 vs ac 2 grass special; 2d10+10+30 damage
- Sep 07 22:01:10 <Eric-> 1d20+1 vs ac 2 grass special; 2d10+10+30 damage
- Sep 07 22:01:10 <CritSenpai> vs ac 2 grass special: 8 [1d20=7]; damage: 50 [2d10=5,5]
- Sep 07 22:01:53 <StarmanTheta> hits
- Sep 07 22:02:15 <Eric-> That's it but it's my turn again anyway. Eric Splashes across the water because he's a showoff and can manage that before inflicting some sick Acrobatics on the awaiting Toxicroak.
- Sep 07 22:02:18 <StarmanTheta> Crawdaunt is on its last legs
- Sep 07 22:02:20 <Eric-> 1d20 vs ac 2 flying physical; 3d10+10+23+5 damage
- Sep 07 22:02:21 <CritSenpai> vs ac 2 flying physical: 1 [1d20=1]; damage: 51 [3d10=4,1,8]
- Sep 07 22:02:35 <Eric-> Looks like the quest is going well. Done~
- Sep 07 22:02:49 <StarmanTheta> Man, Eric's suit can't catch a break today
- Sep 07 22:02:51 <StarmanTheta> Giselle!
- Sep 07 22:02:53 <Eric-> Clearly.
- Sep 07 22:03:06 <Giselle> "Get ready..."
- Sep 07 22:03:31 * Giselle tosses a certain luxuray ball towards the river
- Sep 07 22:03:42 <Giselle> "Fraise! it's time to shine!"
- Sep 07 22:03:49 <StarmanTheta> Do you have focused command?
- Sep 07 22:04:09 <Giselle> Nope, but I dun need it for what I'm planning
- Sep 07 22:04:31 * Eric- raises an eyebrow. "Wait, don't tell you think that little jellyfish can supp-" He stops as the newly-minted gigantic Jellicent appears.
- Sep 07 22:04:43 <StarmanTheta> whats its speed?
- Sep 07 22:04:57 <Giselle> 7
- Sep 07 22:05:18 * StarmanTheta has changed the topic to: Where Does This Ocean Go? | Mondays at 8PM EST GMT -4 | http://paradoxhaze.wikidot.com/where-does-this-ocean-go | Dunsany 31, Implanta 30, Eric and Giselle 25, Lillypad and Lindy 20, Toxicroak 17, Nick 12, Amar and Crawdaunt 8, Quagsire and Fraise 7

- Sep 07 22:06:13 <Giselle> 1d20 lovely kiss
- Sep 07 22:06:13 <CritSenpai> lovely kiss: 13 [1d20=13]
- Sep 07 22:06:20 <StarmanTheta> Gelee seems to have bulked up quite a bit from the fight with the boys!
- Sep 07 22:06:21 <StarmanTheta> hits
- Sep 07 22:06:34 <Giselle> What does Toxicroak think of THAT?
- Sep 07 22:07:01 <StarmanTheta> I forget, is lovely kiss confusion or sleep
- Sep 07 22:07:05 <StarmanTheta> I always get the kisses mixed up
- Sep 07 22:07:23 <Lindy> "Are you telling me to use a jellicent for a bridge?"
- Sep 07 22:07:47 <StarmanTheta> jellicent is bridge now?
- Sep 07 22:07:49 <Eric-> "I believe that is exactly what she is suggesting, yes."
- Sep 07 22:08:01 <StarmanTheta> give me an acrobatic check, Giselle
- Sep 07 22:08:15 <Giselle> 2d6
- Sep 07 22:08:15 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 3 [2d6=1,2]
- Sep 07 22:08:22 <Giselle> eheh
- Sep 07 22:08:44 <Giselle> can I use skill monkey?
- Sep 07 22:09:06 <StarmanTheta> you might want to
- Sep 07 22:09:09 <Giselle> 2d6+2
- Sep 07 22:09:09 <CritSenpai> 2d6+2: 4 [2d6=1,1]
- Sep 07 22:09:19 <StarmanTheta> nnnoope
- Sep 07 22:09:30 <StarmanTheta> you try to bounce across Fraise, but slip and fall into the water!
- Sep 07 22:09:41 <StarmanTheta> Fortunately, she grabs you before you're carried off by the current, but now you're both grappled
- Sep 07 22:09:59 * Giselle ties to say "Yep, I bet you're pretty jelly!" but slips.
- Sep 07 22:10:11 <StarmanTheta> Lillypad!
- Sep 07 22:10:31 <Lindy> "...I'll use the normal bridge, thanks."
- Sep 07 22:10:54 <Giselle> "Thanks Fraise..."
- Sep 07 22:10:55 <Eric-> At least both the frogs are asleep.
- Sep 07 22:11:15 <Giselle> Lily Magical leafs crawdaunt again
- Sep 07 22:11:26 <Giselle> 1d20 cannot miss
- Sep 07 22:11:27 <CritSenpai> cannot miss: 11 [1d20=11]
- Sep 07 22:11:48 <Giselle> 3d6+30
- Sep 07 22:11:48 <CritSenpai> 3d6+30: 36 [3d6=2,1,3]
- Sep 07 22:12:21 <StarmanTheta> With that, the crawdaunt goes down!
- Sep 07 22:12:50 <StarmanTheta> wait
- Sep 07 22:12:55 <StarmanTheta> it's not in range of the first crawdaunt
- Sep 07 22:12:59 <StarmanTheta> so this crawdaunt stays up
- Sep 07 22:13:22 <Giselle> thats the crawdaunt he was aiming at both times though
- Sep 07 22:13:41 <StarmanTheta> both times?
- Sep 07 22:13:43 <StarmanTheta> I'm confused
- Sep 07 22:13:53 <StarmanTheta> ugh that means I fucked up the damage
- Sep 07 22:13:57 <Giselle> both magical leafs
- Sep 07 22:14:05 <StarmanTheta> sec
- Sep 07 22:14:10 <Eric-> I think she meant to hit the Crawdaunt on the far side of the river the first time as well, but we could just say Lily used ML before he moved and knocked out the one on our side.
- Sep 07 22:15:04 <StarmanTheta> fixed now
- Sep 07 22:15:12 <StarmanTheta> Lindy
- Sep 07 22:16:07 <Lindy> Lindy's used her standard action on priority, so she moves and ends turn
- Sep 07 22:16:14 <StarmanTheta> Now the toxicroacks are up
- Sep 07 22:16:22 <StarmanTheta> 1d20-3; 1d20
- Sep 07 22:16:22 <CritSenpai> 1d20-3: 5 [1d20=8]; 1d20: 14 [1d20=14]
- Sep 07 22:16:24 <Lindy> ...and by moves I mean like one square
- Sep 07 22:16:26 <StarmanTheta> neither wake up
- Sep 07 22:16:29 <StarmanTheta> Nick!
- Sep 07 22:16:44 <Nicholas> "Amar, light up and take that Crawdaunt out." Nicholas activates Sunlight Within, and Amar is Cheered.
- Sep 07 22:17:23 <Nicholas> Done.
- Sep 07 22:17:54 <StarmanTheta> Amar!
- Sep 07 22:18:00 <Nicholas> Amar moves and uses Magical Leaf, aiming for the Crawdaunt.
- Sep 07 22:18:11 <Nicholas> 1d20 Magical Leaf can't miss.
- Sep 07 22:18:11 <CritSenpai> Magical Leaf can't miss.: 20 [1d20=20]
- Sep 07 22:18:28 <Nicholas> And that's a crit, so...
- Sep 07 22:18:46 <Nicholas> 4d8+20+12 special grass damage
- Sep 07 22:18:46 <CritSenpai> special grass damage: 51 [4d8=3,7,6,3]
- Sep 07 22:18:53 <Giselle> I dun think you even need to roll damage at this point
- Sep 07 22:19:02 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wisy_0svO5Y
- Sep 07 22:19:23 <Nicholas> I thought so since he has been hit only once. Right?
- Sep 07 22:19:39 <StarmanTheta> The crawdaunt is down
- Sep 07 22:19:43 <StarmanTheta> Now the other crawdaunt is up
- Sep 07 22:19:59 <StarmanTheta> hops there, not liking eric's face
- Sep 07 22:20:03 <StarmanTheta> 1d20 ac 2 crabhammer!
- Sep 07 22:20:03 <CritSenpai> ac 2 crabhammer!: 16 [1d20=16]
- Sep 07 22:20:16 <StarmanTheta> 3d12+10+20 water phys
- Sep 07 22:20:16 <CritSenpai> water phys: 50 [3d12=12,7,1]
- Sep 07 22:20:33 * Eric- burns Excited, because he is no longer exciting after being clawed in the face!
- Sep 07 22:21:06 <StarmanTheta> Quagsire is flinched, Fraise maintains her hold on Giselle
- Sep 07 22:21:08 <StarmanTheta> Dunsany!
- Sep 07 22:22:05 <Lindy> Does it take extra movement to burrow under that river, or could Dunsany reach the space next to the still standing crawdaunt with burrow8?
- Sep 07 22:22:37 <StarmanTheta> uh
- Sep 07 22:22:42 <StarmanTheta> I think you'd be fine with your burrow speed
- Sep 07 22:22:45 <Lindy> Cool
- Sep 07 22:23:12 <StarmanTheta> If only because I don't want to get into trigonometry hell because this isn't pathfinder
- Sep 07 22:24:13 <Lindy> Lindy uses Brutal Training as a swift action with priority and Dunsany drills his way under the river to emerge in a majestic soaring jump ending in a crash landing on the crawdaunt's head! Body Slam!
- Sep 07 22:24:36 <Lindy> I think quags doesn't get an attack of opportunity thanks to flinch, right
- Sep 07 22:24:40 <Lindy> Or does it?
- Sep 07 22:25:01 <Eric-> it probably doesn't anyway b/c starman hates aoos
- Sep 07 22:25:04 <StarmanTheta> I don't think it does
- Sep 07 22:25:08 <StarmanTheta> not like it'd matter tbh
- Sep 07 22:25:26 <Lindy> 1d20 vs AC 2, paralyze on 11+
- Sep 07 22:25:26 <CritSenpai> vs AC 2, paralyze on 11+: 17 [1d20=17]
- Sep 07 22:25:48 <StarmanTheta> welp
- Sep 07 22:25:54 <Lindy> 3d10+10+20+8 normal physical and crawdaunt's paralyzed
- Sep 07 22:25:55 <CritSenpai> normal physical and crawdaunt's paralyzed: 64 [3d10=10,9,7]
- Sep 07 22:26:06 <Lindy> If even standing
- Sep 07 22:26:31 <StarmanTheta> It's not standing after that
- Sep 07 22:26:42 <Giselle> Wait, I thought Lindy was gonna catch that quagsire
- Sep 07 22:26:47 <StarmanTheta> It has a second to kinda go bug eyed before dunsany headbutts it into oblivion
- Sep 07 22:27:00 <StarmanTheta> and lands on its unconscious form as if posing for the camera
- Sep 07 22:27:10 <Giselle> what happened on her turn?
- Sep 07 22:27:13 <Lindy> She was, Duns just took out the crawdaunt and Lindy's got her turn coming up
- Sep 07 22:27:23 <Giselle> ok
- Sep 07 22:27:27 <StarmanTheta> Implanta!
- Sep 07 22:27:33 <Lindy> Last round she used it for orders because I'm bad at foresight
- Sep 07 22:27:47 <Eric-> Er, hm, I wish I could help Giselle out in some way here :v
- Sep 07 22:28:25 <Giselle> you could switch spots with lilypad and help Giselle up
- Sep 07 22:28:36 <Eric-> I have 1d6 ath, that isn't going to go ov- oh I know
- Sep 07 22:28:51 <Eric-> Implanta doesn't do anything and Eric switches out for Ryuju before hopping up the wall.
- Sep 07 22:28:53 <Eric-> Ryuju's init 6
- Sep 07 22:29:00 <StarmanTheta> right
- Sep 07 22:29:02 <StarmanTheta> gimem a sec
- Sep 07 22:29:07 <Eric-> Put him in the spot below Lillies I guess.
- Sep 07 22:29:51 * StarmanTheta has changed the topic to: Where Does This Ocean Go? | Mondays at 8PM EST GMT -4 | http://paradoxhaze.wikidot.com/where-does-this-ocean-go | Dunsany 31, Eric and Giselle 25, Lillypad and Lindy 20, Toxicroak 17, Nick 12, Amar and Crawdaunt 8, Quagsire and Fraise 7, Ryuju 6
- Sep 07 22:30:11 <StarmanTheta> Ok
- Sep 07 22:30:13 <StarmanTheta> Giselle!
- Sep 07 22:30:20 <StarmanTheta> You're currently grappled
- Sep 07 22:30:29 <StarmanTheta> that being the only thing keeping you from beign washed downstream. What do you do?
- Sep 07 22:30:41 <Eric-> "Assuming these guys stay dozed off, I don't see any reason to aggravate them further. Help Giselle up and then let's scurry!
- Sep 07 22:31:30 * Giselle tries to manuver her way up Fraise and get over to Ryuju
- Sep 07 22:31:58 <StarmanTheta> give me an athletics
- Sep 07 22:32:25 <Giselle> 2d6+2
- Sep 07 22:32:25 <CritSenpai> 2d6+2: 5 [2d6=2,1]
- Sep 07 22:32:44 <Giselle> Do I get bonuses for Fraise and Ryuju helping?
- Sep 07 22:33:02 <StarmanTheta> Uh, have them both roll athletics
- Sep 07 22:33:25 <Giselle> 3d6 Fraise
- Sep 07 22:33:25 <CritSenpai> Fraise: 7 [3d6=2,3,2]
- Sep 07 22:33:29 <Eric-> Ryuju sticks out his tail, because his stubby little flap-like hands aren't gonna help here.
- Sep 07 22:33:31 <Eric-> 5d6+1+2 ath
- Sep 07 22:33:31 <CritSenpai> ath: 20 [5d6=3,5,3,5,1]
- Sep 07 22:33:52 <StarmanTheta> Ryuju helps, which gets you to a 7
- Sep 07 22:34:04 <StarmanTheta> SO you start climbing up. You're out of the water, but you're slowed for this round
- Sep 07 22:35:31 <StarmanTheta> You have a standard left
- Sep 07 22:35:41 <Giselle> Hmmm...
- Sep 07 22:36:11 <Nicholas> "Oh, great! You got us worried, Giselle!"
- Sep 07 22:36:20 <Giselle> Lindy, want me to drop a status on quagsire?
- Sep 07 22:36:27 <Giselle> he's already infatuated
- Sep 07 22:36:49 <Giselle> "...y-yeah. I'm not a great swimmer, either."
- Sep 07 22:36:52 <Lindy> If you want, sure
- Sep 07 22:37:41 <StarmanTheta> do what you like
- Sep 07 22:38:09 <Giselle> 1d20 sweet kiss
- Sep 07 22:38:09 <CritSenpai> sweet kiss: 13 [1d20=13]
- Sep 07 22:38:16 <StarmanTheta> hits!
- Sep 07 22:38:17 <Eric-> (that's the confuse one)
- Sep 07 22:38:40 <Giselle> I'm dropping play'em like a fiddle on that
- Sep 07 22:39:06 <StarmanTheta> alright
- Sep 07 22:39:37 <StarmanTheta> Lillypad!
- Sep 07 22:39:45 <Giselle> so he's confused, loses 3 evasion, and cannot disengage
- Sep 07 22:40:00 <Giselle> Lily will wait for Giselle
- Sep 07 22:40:05 <Giselle> Lindy!
- Sep 07 22:40:16 <Lindy> With the quagsire's head twisted around thoroughly, Lindy tosses a pokéball right in its face!
- Sep 07 22:40:25 <Lindy> 1d20+2 wynaut AP
- Sep 07 22:40:25 <CritSenpai> wynaut AP: 8 [1d20=6]
- Sep 07 22:41:00 <Lindy> 1d100-25 I don't remember all the modifiers for status but I think they apply to the number I need to hit anyway
- Sep 07 22:41:00 <CritSenpai> I don't remember all the modifiers for status but I think they apply to the number I need to hit anyway: 53 [1d100=78]
- Sep 07 22:41:51 <StarmanTheta> lemme cehck
- Sep 07 22:42:27 <StarmanTheta> yeah that's enough
- Sep 07 22:42:28 <Eric-> I think it's -10 for confusion?
- Sep 07 22:43:55 <StarmanTheta> Bwoop! into the ball it goes
- Sep 07 22:44:04 <StarmanTheta> So toxicroak
- Sep 07 22:44:06 <StarmanTheta> or wait
- Sep 07 22:44:10 <StarmanTheta> yeah
- Sep 07 22:44:19 <StarmanTheta> 1d20; 1d20-3
- Sep 07 22:44:20 <CritSenpai> 1d20: 15 [1d20=15]; 1d20-3: 9 [1d20=12]
- Sep 07 22:44:23 <StarmanTheta> nnnnoope
- Sep 07 22:44:26 <StarmanTheta> Nick!
- Sep 07 22:45:05 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas, what shall you do?
- Sep 07 22:45:54 * Nicholas walks closer. "Amar, keep strong." Inspiring + Cheered on Amar.
- Sep 07 22:46:13 <StarmanTheta> Amar!
- Sep 07 22:46:15 <Nicholas> (They are both asleep still?)
- Sep 07 22:46:23 <Eric-> They are.
- Sep 07 22:46:26 <StarmanTheta> they are yes
- Sep 07 22:47:00 <Nicholas> Sorry, then. Nicholas is going to switch Amar for Zoysia.
- Sep 07 22:47:35 <Nicholas> Can do?
- Sep 07 22:48:05 <StarmanTheta> speed?
- Sep 07 22:48:21 <StarmanTheta> though, why are you using orders on amar then switching to
- Sep 07 22:48:24 <StarmanTheta> wait no that doesn't work
- Sep 07 22:48:27 <StarmanTheta> a fulls witch is standard
- Sep 07 22:48:35 <StarmanTheta> and two orders is standard
- Sep 07 22:48:42 <StarmanTheta> so you can't switch and do commander's voice the same turn
- Sep 07 22:48:43 <StarmanTheta> though
- Sep 07 22:48:47 <Nicholas> No, that's the point. Forget the orders. I switch.
- Sep 07 22:48:48 <StarmanTheta> since these two guys are asleep
- Sep 07 22:48:56 <Nicholas> I thought they were awake already.
- Sep 07 22:48:57 <Eric-> Switching is a standard I think but
- Sep 07 22:49:00 <StarmanTheta> I can't imagine the'll last very long once you guys start wailing on them
- Sep 07 22:49:01 <Eric-> we can probably just leave
- Sep 07 22:49:26 <Lindy> Yeah, if there's nothing else in this room let's split
- Sep 07 22:49:34 <Lindy> They might think better of it even if they wake up
- Sep 07 22:49:35 <StarmanTheta> alright
- Sep 07 22:49:39 <StarmanTheta> we'll just move on then
- Sep 07 22:49:47 <Nicholas> Also works.
- Sep 07 22:49:49 <StarmanTheta> 10 minute break ~
- Sep 07 22:49:55 <Giselle> Fraise just kind of picks up Giselle and passes her to Ryuju
- Sep 07 22:50:23 <Eric-> Ryuju yanks Giselle up with his tail and grumbles. Not-gettin-paid-nuff-for-this-shit.
- Sep 07 22:50:24 * Lindy quickly collects the newly captured pokémon and takes the safer way across the stream.
- Sep 07 22:51:03 <StarmanTheta> the quagsire is level 36, female, adamant nature, has mud dweller and water absorb as abilities
- Sep 07 22:51:10 <StarmanTheta> also has an injury
- Sep 07 22:51:32 <Giselle> poor thing
- Sep 07 22:51:57 <Nicholas> "Want me to take a look?"
- Sep 07 22:52:11 <Lindy> "Sure."
- Sep 07 22:52:55 * Giselle becomes queen
- Sep 07 22:54:32 * Nicholas uses First aid Expertise on the Quagsire. "Here, Lindy. As good as new."
- Sep 07 22:55:30 <Lindy> "Perfect."
- Sep 07 22:55:48 * Giselle 's first act as queen is to return Fraise to her pokeball
- Sep 07 22:56:12 * Amos has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
- Sep 07 22:58:14 * Eric- patches up his own scrapes from the claw as they're walking.
- Sep 07 22:59:44 <StarmanTheta> back
- Sep 07 23:00:05 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKw9IusVOMk
- Sep 07 23:01:18 <StarmanTheta> After your battle, leaving the two toxicroak to sleep off their non-existant wounds, lillypad keeps heaidng deepr into the cave. Ryuju is rather exasperated at having to get his tail wet to pullout this child, and zoysia--who just came out--is looking around for where the battle is. She ws promised battle
- Sep 07 23:01:45 <StarmanTheta> Dunsany has taken to laying on zoysia's branches because a snake as regal as he needs a mount
- Sep 07 23:02:23 * Eric- pats Ryuju and prepares for potential angryzaps. "There there. I'm sure the people we'll be dealing with soon will be more appropriate to your... areas of expertise."
- Sep 07 23:02:26 * Giselle follows Lily further into the cave
- Sep 07 23:02:38 <StarmanTheta> Progressing through the cave, it's clear more and more that smeone carved this place out at some point--or at the very least, touched it up after the underground streams did most of the work
- Sep 07 23:03:21 <Giselle> "Lilypad? Do you know who designed this place?"
- Sep 07 23:03:22 <StarmanTheta> Ryuju harumphs, though pats are accepted. Begrudgingly. It's not like he likes them or anything.
- Sep 07 23:04:01 <StarmanTheta> Lilypad squeaks up at you, a bit quizzical. She hops up on a ledge, and you can see when she does it bares more of that archaic writing
- Sep 07 23:04:13 <StarmanTheta> as well as a few carvings and crude pictograms
- Sep 07 23:04:35 <Giselle> 5d6 general edu!
- Sep 07 23:04:35 <CritSenpai> general edu!: 11 [5d6=2,3,1,1,4]
- Sep 07 23:04:41 <Lindy> "Huh." Lindy takes more photos before leaning in close to take a look-see.
- Sep 07 23:05:05 * Eric- tries to hide his increasing agitation with ancient civilizations nonsense. "I see the people who lived here were very... talkative?"
- Sep 07 23:05:09 <Giselle> haha... crit senpai... why... Q_Q
- Sep 07 23:05:31 <Lindy> "Talking isn't the same as writing. I should know."
- Sep 07 23:05:42 <Eric-> "Prolific, then."
- Sep 07 23:05:47 <StarmanTheta> Giselle thinks the pictograms are pretty
- Sep 07 23:05:55 <Lindy> 6d6+1 go go gadget genedu
- Sep 07 23:05:55 <CritSenpai> go go gadget genedu: 24 [6d6=4,6,3,5,4,1]
- Sep 07 23:06:06 <StarmanTheta> Lindy, a lot of the text is, sadly, worn from age
- Sep 07 23:06:23 <StarmanTheta> and a bit more esoteric than what you previously saw. WHat you can read translates roughly to this:
- Sep 07 23:07:26 <StarmanTheta> "Wait's despite the tragedy...innumerable moons...until...promised day..."
- Sep 07 23:07:46 <StarmanTheta> And some word that's hard to translate. Paras? Parade? Who knows.
- Sep 07 23:08:03 <Lindy> "Spooky prophecy stuff. Ominous."
- Sep 07 23:08:29 <Giselle> 5d6+11 Giselle pets Lilypads
- Sep 07 23:08:30 <CritSenpai> Giselle pets Lilypads: 30 [5d6=4,5,4,4,2]
- Sep 07 23:08:47 <StarmanTheta> Giselle unleashes her ultimate petting technique
- Sep 07 23:09:08 <StarmanTheta> Lilypad takes a second to stop being anxious about everything to squeal with joy. She even rolls over so you can pat her belly
- Sep 07 23:09:24 <Eric-> "I think that'll do her some good, actually."
- Sep 07 23:09:44 * Amos (~Defamos@2D4B8830:CD173EBA:F9F6308:IP) has joined #ClearOcean
- Sep 07 23:09:48 <Giselle> "And I think she deserves it, no?"
- Sep 07 23:10:01 <Giselle> "She has gotten us so far!"
- Sep 07 23:10:03 <Eric-> "She's clearly been overworked."
- Sep 07 23:10:16 <Eric-> "What interests me is... she shouldn't be the only one of these lillipads."
- Sep 07 23:10:26 <Nicholas> "Guys, so... can we move along? I bet Lilypads would like that too, right?"
- Sep 07 23:10:27 <Eric-> "So what happened to the others, if we belueve that (ugh) tablet?"
- Sep 07 23:10:47 * Nicholas seems very uncomfortabale.
- Sep 07 23:11:08 <StarmanTheta> Perhaps he is uncomfortable due to the large tree ghost standing behind him
- Sep 07 23:11:09 <Lindy> "Still not sure what's wrong with her. Or Nick, for that matter."
- Sep 07 23:11:09 * Giselle pets and walks at the same time
- Sep 07 23:11:33 <StarmanTheta> Zoysia rests a claw on Nicholas's shoulder to calm him. But it is a very big, ghostly, claw from a glowing-eye cyclops
- Sep 07 23:11:45 <Lindy> "Maybe the promised time's scheduled for now."
- Sep 07 23:11:47 <StarmanTheta> So, relaxing!
- Sep 07 23:12:15 <StarmanTheta> In any case
- Sep 07 23:12:20 <Giselle> "Hmmm... Lily, do you know what this promised time is?"
- Sep 07 23:12:22 <StarmanTheta> You guys continue on...
- Sep 07 23:12:27 <Nicholas> "I just don't like closed spaces. That's all." He grabs one of the pahntasmal fingers. "Thanks, Zoy!"
- Sep 07 23:12:58 <Lindy> "Oh."
- Sep 07 23:14:35 <StarmanTheta> Zoy gives a smile of approval. At least you think it's a smile
- Sep 07 23:14:46 * Eric- wonders. He seems TOO antsy for it just being a simple phobia, but he didn't exactly want to press Nick on it...
- Sep 07 23:15:31 <StarmanTheta> As you move along...you hear the sounds of paws and nails upon stone
- Sep 07 23:15:36 <StarmanTheta> rounding the bend...
- Sep 07 23:15:40 <Eric-> !
- Sep 07 23:15:56 <StarmanTheta> you see the kelpy trails of another shaymin just diving into the water
- Sep 07 23:16:04 <StarmanTheta> Lillypad squeals once more, and races after it!
- Sep 07 23:16:50 * Giselle follows Lily, and prepares Fraise's pokeball again, just in case she needs a ride.
- Sep 07 23:16:55 * Eric- hustles up to get a look at the river. "Well, that answers my question some. But where are they going?!"
- Sep 07 23:17:25 <Nicholas> "Probably to the mother, right?"
- Sep 07 23:17:28 <Lindy> "Wish I'd brought the swimsuit."
- Sep 07 23:17:43 * Eric- gives Lindy a "what, you DIDN'T?" look.
- Sep 07 23:17:58 * Giselle gives a confident smile as she opens her bag.
- Sep 07 23:18:08 <Giselle> "I always come prepared!"
- Sep 07 23:18:10 <Lindy> "But of course."
- Sep 07 23:18:23 <Eric-> "... Are you suggesting we dive under there and after them?"
- Sep 07 23:18:34 <Nicholas> "Is it necessary?"
- Sep 07 23:19:04 * Giselle starts handing out swimsuits to Lindy and Nick
- Sep 07 23:19:29 <Lindy> "We can do that or we can sit around here waiting for them to come back out."
- Sep 07 23:19:31 <StarmanTheta> There's still ledge you can walk. You figure you can follow the stream on foot
- Sep 07 23:19:41 <Lindy> "Oh. Or there's a ledge."
- Sep 07 23:20:01 <StarmanTheta> but you can swim if you want
- Sep 07 23:20:08 <StarmanTheta> ANyway...
- Sep 07 23:20:21 <Lindy> Nah, ledge beats taking a dip. The water's probably pretty cold underground
- Sep 07 23:20:27 * Eric- will skip unless it's absolutely needed. He skirts along the edge, keeping an eye out for.. whatever it is they're looking for.
- Sep 07 23:20:35 <Eric-> What Lilies and friends are, that is.
- Sep 07 23:20:43 * Giselle changes into a swimsuit anyway, and rides Fraise.
- Sep 07 23:21:28 <StarmanTheta> YOu keep following the stream. Every so often, you catch a glimpse of antoher one of the shaymin, scurrying along the river bank or jumping into the underground scream, all seeming to follow it with some sort of frantic yet coordinated purpose
- Sep 07 23:22:01 <Eric-> "My sister told me an adage once about these dumb onion-looking things called Celebi."
- Sep 07 23:22:16 <StarmanTheta> eventually, the tunnel opens up to a cavern--by the smell of sea salt, you figure it's a lagoon close to the water. There's a small opening in the roof of the cave, showing moonlight through, that illuminates the pool below that the stream empties to
- Sep 07 23:22:17 <Eric-> "If you see one, it probably wants your help. If you see a bunch, it's probably too late for you to run."
- Sep 07 23:22:21 <Eric-> "I think this applies here."
- Sep 07 23:22:35 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9YRGF2ZHaE
- Sep 07 23:22:41 <Lindy> "Why would you want to run?"
- Sep 07 23:23:06 <Eric-> "They show up where there's trouble."
- Sep 07 23:23:07 <Nicholas> "Celebi are not dumb. They are incredibly wise." Nick says with a serious face.
- Sep 07 23:23:12 <StarmanTheta> At the pool, tons of the shaymins are converging upon the shore---you'd notice that some of them are missing pads, kelp, or even worse injuries. One lays upon the shore, barely moving.
- Sep 07 23:23:35 <StarmanTheta> They seem to converge and murmur and fret over one another
- Sep 07 23:23:52 <StarmanTheta> Before all falling silent, simultaneously, and looking at the center of the underground pool
- Sep 07 23:24:09 <StarmanTheta> There are moments of uncomfortable silence, and then...
- Sep 07 23:24:16 * Nicholas seems horrified with the conditions of the poor pokemon.
- Sep 07 23:24:41 <Giselle> Is Lilypad with Giselle or did she join the other shaymin?
- Sep 07 23:24:44 * Eric- 's response to Nick is derailed by the scene. "... Goddamn."
- Sep 07 23:24:50 <StarmanTheta> Rising from the water, seemingly leaving the surface undisturbed with unearthly grace...
- Sep 07 23:25:55 <StarmanTheta> You at first see a sihlouette. Then, a head---blue, like a shawl, with ovid yellow eyes that glow softly. The creature, far larger than the other pokemon ehre, continues to rise from the water with a strange grace, a soft hum to its movements as it moves towards the hurt shaymin
- Sep 07 23:26:37 <StarmanTheta> it has two long tentacles, of dark blue, and looks as if it has long flowing hair. In essence, it looks like: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/capx/images/8/81/SpiritTrioYacuma.png/revision/latest?cb=20140210133840
- Sep 07 23:27:22 <Nicholas> "W-what is that?"
- Sep 07 23:27:29 <Eric-> "What the fuck."
- Sep 07 23:27:34 <StarmanTheta> That would be a pokeedu or occult roll
- Sep 07 23:27:43 * Giselle TRIES SCANNING WITH THE POKEDEX
- Sep 07 23:28:31 <StarmanTheta> The creature glides through the water to the injured shaymin, and wraps it in its tentaclly arms. It holds it close, like a mother would a child, and a glow envelops it. The creature coughs, and slowly begins to move a bit more as it seems at ease
- Sep 07 23:28:47 <Giselle> 2d6+6 skill stunt
- Sep 07 23:28:47 <CritSenpai> skill stunt: 13 [2d6=4,3]
- Sep 07 23:29:17 <StarmanTheta> As it does so, it looks up at you all, with its strange beady eyes. One of the shaymin squeals out--you recognize her at lilypad.
- Sep 07 23:29:34 <StarmanTheta> With this, the strange pokemon seenms content, and makes as if to becon your group over
- Sep 07 23:29:41 <StarmanTheta> Giselle, you have no idea what the fuck this thing is
- Sep 07 23:29:53 <Nicholas> 4d6 poke edu?
- Sep 07 23:29:53 <CritSenpai> poke edu?: 13 [4d6=6,2,4,1]
- Sep 07 23:30:36 * Eric- isn't sure about this at all, but he's not gonna turn this gigantic thing down in this sort of situation. He takes off his pants - oh, he's wearing his bathing suit underneath - and heads down to the water.
- Sep 07 23:30:49 <Lindy> First things first: Lindy squeezes off some photographic evidence before switching to recording as she follows.
- Sep 07 23:31:02 <Lindy> 5d6+3 maybe pokeedu
- Sep 07 23:31:02 <CritSenpai> maybe pokeedu: 20 [5d6=5,2,5,4,1]
- Sep 07 23:31:05 * Giselle rides fraise closer
- Sep 07 23:31:30 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas doesn't know what this thing is either
- Sep 07 23:31:44 <Giselle> What did the pokedex say, if anything, btw?
- Sep 07 23:31:50 <StarmanTheta> Lindy, having read the previous papers, figures this is the 'mother' that they were talkign about
- Sep 07 23:31:54 <StarmanTheta> the pokedex has no data on this
- Sep 07 23:32:32 <StarmanTheta> But lindy has heard rumors--only rumors--about a pokemon that protects rivers. Ghostly, it is, but watches as a mother of the rivers. Mostly from folkolre from anthropology classes
- Sep 07 23:32:40 <StarmanTheta> But the name Yacuma sticks out in your mind
- Sep 07 23:33:28 <StarmanTheta> So
- Sep 07 23:33:30 <StarmanTheta> what will you do?
- Sep 07 23:33:51 * Eric- waves in the most awkward, un-suave way you can imagine. He's obviously very out of his element here. "H-hello?"
- Sep 07 23:34:30 * Giselle rides fraise all the way over to it and offers the last jar of honey.
- Sep 07 23:34:50 * Nicholas approaches cautiously, Zoysia close nearby. He didn't even bother taking his clothes to enter the water.
- Sep 07 23:34:52 <Lindy> "A mother, protecting the rivers... Yacuma. Didn't think it was actually real."
- Sep 07 23:35:07 <StarmanTheta> The pokemon lays the shaymin back down on the shore--it seems to have the strength to walk again. It floats over to Fraise and Giselle--fraise, herself, doesn't know what to make of this
- Sep 07 23:35:30 <Eric-> "I think it's safe to say we've solved our mystery, but... why have they all gathered here?
- Sep 07 23:35:58 <Giselle> "Hi, I'm Giselle..." she introduces herself a bit apprehensively
- Sep 07 23:36:15 <StarmanTheta> The shaymin watch intently, as Yacuma extends a tendril...both to Giselle and Nicholas
- Sep 07 23:36:50 <StarmanTheta> It lays upon your foreheads...after a few moments, the pokemon seems satisfied
- Sep 07 23:37:09 * Lindy tilts her head to the side quizzically.
- Sep 07 23:37:12 * Nicholas is paralyzed by uncertainty.
- Sep 07 23:37:25 <Giselle> 4d6 occult for what it just did?
- Sep 07 23:37:25 <CritSenpai> occult for what it just did?: 12 [4d6=5,1,2,4]
- Sep 07 23:38:13 <StarmanTheta> You're not sure...you've seen lucario do things like that before, but not entirely sure what it entails. In any case, you don't feel any different, and the pokemon seems calmer
- Sep 07 23:38:33 <StarmanTheta> Lilypad jumps off the shore, swimming to Giselle. it clambers up on you
- Sep 07 23:39:29 * Giselle brushes Lilypad's spines
- Sep 07 23:40:01 <Lindy> "Well, she healed that one shaymin, but there's lots of other wounded."
- Sep 07 23:40:08 <StarmanTheta> It seems you've found your mystery pokemon
- Sep 07 23:40:13 <StarmanTheta> and she seems very friendly
- Sep 07 23:40:22 <Eric-> "I think it's pretty clear there's some kind of crisis going on... I wonder if we can help somehow.
- Sep 07 23:40:29 <StarmanTheta> It seems your little journey has been a
- Sep 07 23:40:41 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQjOBHnXs2E
- Sep 07 23:40:50 <StarmanTheta> Before you can do anything
- Sep 07 23:41:14 <StarmanTheta> You hear a loud POP from above! an ultra ball comes flying out, striking one of the shaymin
- Sep 07 23:41:21 <StarmanTheta> then another, and another, and another
- Sep 07 23:41:26 <StarmanTheta> raining out from above
- Sep 07 23:42:03 <StarmanTheta> "Well well well, it looks like I /can/ win for losing, hm?"
- Sep 07 23:42:09 <Nicholas> "Zoysia, cover as many of them as you can!"
- Sep 07 23:42:28 * Giselle looks up
- Sep 07 23:42:28 <Lindy> Lindy's head snaps around to look for the source of the voice.
- Sep 07 23:42:33 <StarmanTheta> The little water hedgehogs start scurying this way and that, though many are sucked into balls
- Sep 07 23:42:53 <StarmanTheta> At the top of the cave...where you came in in fact
- Sep 07 23:42:54 * Eric- found his crisis, immediately snapping to his feet and staring up.
- Sep 07 23:43:27 <Giselle> "Fraise, hurry and grab those things!"
- Sep 07 23:43:30 <StarmanTheta> there are a group of people. Some you recognize as similar to the chumps before, holding capture cannons. One, seems to be a very very flustered Ms. Finer in a rather...unprofessional outfit.
- Sep 07 23:43:51 <StarmanTheta> another is a man, cooly reloading a capture canon, looking like http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=447430
- Sep 07 23:44:12 <StarmanTheta> But above all, you see the man talking, looking down at you with smug superiority as he twirls a cane
- Sep 07 23:44:25 <Giselle> "Lilypad! break that thing!"
- Sep 07 23:44:55 <StarmanTheta> "And to think, we wasted all that time poinsoning rivers, bribing people disguising our base in search of this pokemon,a dn you all just lead us /right/ to it! I really can't thank you kids enough."
- Sep 07 23:44:56 <Giselle> Can magical leaf reach the canon?
- Sep 07 23:45:00 <StarmanTheta> The man looks something like http://www.zerochan.net/1757772
- Sep 07 23:45:06 <StarmanTheta> you can, but there's more than one
- Sep 07 23:45:42 * Giselle looks at the other shaymin
- Sep 07 23:46:01 <Giselle> Should I roll command for this?
- Sep 07 23:46:14 <StarmanTheta> Probably. They're all panicing and scurrying this way and that
- Sep 07 23:46:28 <Giselle> 2d6 hope
- Sep 07 23:46:28 <CritSenpai> hope: 4 [2d6=1,3]
- Sep 07 23:46:41 * Eric- glares and snaps out his whip. "Oh, oh, sir, I think you misunderstand. You didn't follow us to your prize. You followed us to a very long, painful demise, if you're LUCKY."
- Sep 07 23:46:59 <StarmanTheta> you try calling out, but it's no good. Your voice is lost in the cacophony of panic
- Sep 07 23:47:12 <Eric-> Hey, how far above us are they, anyway?
- Sep 07 23:47:27 <Giselle> 1d20 cannot miss
- Sep 07 23:47:28 <CritSenpai> cannot miss: 7 [1d20=7]
- Sep 07 23:47:34 * Lindy stares up at the newcomer with a little frown that might be the biggest face she's made since arriving on the island.
- Sep 07 23:47:40 <Giselle> 3d6+30
- Sep 07 23:47:41 <CritSenpai> 3d6+30: 36 [3d6=1,1,4]
- Sep 07 23:47:44 <StarmanTheta> The man looks down at Eric-, quizically. "A painful demise? Well, that's not very professional at all! I would have thought you'd be more cordial than that? Or is it...you're upset that we're cutting into the family business?'
- Sep 07 23:48:05 <StarmanTheta> They're about, I unno, 8 meters up?
- Sep 07 23:48:46 <Giselle> "And you're supposed to be professional, I take it? frankly you just seem a bit tacky."
- Sep 07 23:48:56 <StarmanTheta> Lillypad shotos a shower of leaves, cutting the strangely dressed man's capture cannon. "...Hmph. Just made this." He unceremoniously snaggs one of the grunts'"
- Sep 07 23:49:28 * Eric- looks stunned! Between shock at the strange watermon and having this thrown in his face, he's lost all his usual professionalism. He only gets out some angrish in response, but gives a knowing look to Ryuju alongside.
- Sep 07 23:50:21 <StarmanTheta> "Shh, little heiress. The adults are talking." He turns his attention back to Eric-. "Now, I'm a busy man, you're busy people, so let's make this quick. You hand over that mon there," he says, pointing his cane at Yacuma, "And we'll make sure you walk out of here unharmed. IN fact, we'll give you a cut of the profits and prestige! Whaddya say?"
- Sep 07 23:51:39 <Lindy> With one hand, Lindy keeps her camera trained on the intruders while she gets out Pan's pokéball with the other, though now she's looking at Eric.
- Sep 07 23:51:47 <Nicholas> "I say you must be afraid of getting down here and doing it yourself. It's the most likely reason you'd try dealing with us, after all."
- Sep 07 23:54:26 * Eric- considers and steadies his nerves. Recognizing Giselle AND him, huh? This guy's done his research. His characteristic smirk returns and he shrugs, closing his eyes. "I think I can speak for all of us for this response: take that offer and shove it up your ass. We're not betraying the trust of our associa- no, the entire island of Santa Carracosta." He opens his eyes and points in dramatic fashion. "And for the record, I'll very
- Sep 07 23:54:26 * Eric- much enjoy getting to take down some scum myself. I missed the chance with my old man, after all."
- Sep 07 23:55:24 <Eric-> I think it's time to start scrambling up. Eric can run up walls, but is there a viable route for the rest of the group?
- Sep 07 23:55:40 <StarmanTheta> The man sighs. "Man, kids these days. Well, like father like son, I guess--do so much for the old man and he goes and gets himself arrested. Oh well," He nods to his companion, who loads a rather...special looking pokeball.
- Sep 07 23:56:51 <StarmanTheta> "Now I'm sure you're all thinking, 'oh, what a bad man! I can't wait to punch his face in!' but unlike you, I have some /standards/. I don't fight like some savage, and unlike my underling here--" he jerks a thumb at Ms. Finer, who responds with a very pointed 'Hey!' "I intend to get my jobs done efficiently, so now..."
- Sep 07 23:58:15 <StarmanTheta> You can tech edu it if you like, as the man takes aim and shoots at Yacuma
- Sep 07 23:58:30 <Giselle> 4d6+2
- Sep 07 23:58:31 <CritSenpai> 4d6+2: 15 [4d6=4,2,3,4]
- Sep 07 23:58:38 <Lindy> 3d6+1 techedu sure
- Sep 07 23:58:38 <CritSenpai> techedu sure: 10 [3d6=2,2,5]
- Sep 07 23:59:11 <StarmanTheta> It looks kinda like one of those silph co balls, the really special ones...
- Sep 07 23:59:16 <Nicholas> Nick is going to try intercept that pokeball. It's still an attack, right? And I'm very close to the pokemon since it just touched me.
- Sep 07 23:59:31 <StarmanTheta> Yacuma shrieks in rage, the waters churning violently as she flies up at the man
- Sep 07 23:59:42 <Nicholas> "Ah, damn..."
- Sep 07 23:59:44 <Giselle> Can Giselle ready another magical leaf?
- Sep 08 00:01:22 * Eric- holds out a hand at the mon. "Wa- there's no time to waste! Hurry!" He heads back the way they came (figuring he'd get shot off the rocks if he tried climbing here) and gets ready to call both the professor, his sister, and probably the police department once they have reception.
- Sep 08 00:01:39 <Giselle> 1d20 cannot miss
- Sep 08 00:01:40 <CritSenpai> cannot miss: 2 [1d20=2]
- Sep 08 00:01:49 <StarmanTheta> The mon phases through your arms harmlessly
- Sep 08 00:01:55 <StarmanTheta> it does not, however, phase through the pokeball
- Sep 08 00:02:34 <Giselle> 3d6+30
- Sep 08 00:02:34 <CritSenpai> 3d6+30: 44 [3d6=6,2,6]
- Sep 08 00:02:51 <StarmanTheta> I dont think you can shoot down a pokeball in mid flight
- Sep 08 00:03:08 <Giselle> can I catch it then?
- Sep 08 00:03:42 <Eric-> Mystermon is actively flying at it due to bad decisions, this is looking pretty hopeless.
- Sep 08 00:03:53 <StarmanTheta> ^
- Sep 08 00:04:11 <Giselle> no, I mean after it hits
- Sep 08 00:04:22 <StarmanTheta> Well...
- Sep 08 00:04:29 <Giselle> pokeballs are still affected by gravity, right?
- Sep 08 00:04:51 <StarmanTheta> The ball hits the mon, and yacuma shrieks once more as she's pulled into the strange pokeball
- Sep 08 00:05:01 <StarmanTheta> it falls with an ominous splash to the ground
- Sep 08 00:05:14 <StarmanTheta> "Wonderful! Now, Samurott, if you would kindly?"
- Sep 08 00:05:16 * Giselle leAPS OVER AND GRABS IT
- Sep 08 00:05:26 * Eric- tuurns the fuck around because hey, they're gonna have to come gra- goddamn it.
- Sep 08 00:05:37 <StarmanTheta> Giselle runs out to grab it...though, give me a perception check
- Sep 08 00:05:47 <Giselle> 2d6
- Sep 08 00:05:47 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 3 [2d6=2,1]
- Sep 08 00:05:59 <Giselle> crit senpai plz
- Sep 08 00:06:09 <StarmanTheta> 1d20 ac 2
- Sep 08 00:06:09 <CritSenpai> ac 2: 18 [1d20=18]
- Sep 08 00:06:34 <StarmanTheta> You almost grab it---but you fail to see the dark shadow emerging from the pool
- Sep 08 00:06:59 <Giselle> QUICK WIT?
- Sep 08 00:07:09 <Giselle> damn you capslock
- Sep 08 00:07:16 <StarmanTheta> as a large samurai looking sea otter thing leaps up, batting at the ball andevery thing in between
- Sep 08 00:08:17 <StarmanTheta> 3d10+10+25 water phys
- Sep 08 00:08:17 <CritSenpai> water phys: 50 [3d10=9,2,4]
- Sep 08 00:08:45 <StarmanTheta> The large creature hits Giselle in its efforts to bat the ball to the man
- Sep 08 00:08:52 <Eric-> "G-Giselle!"
- Sep 08 00:09:01 * Lindy tosses her pokéball to the ground, revealing the stout golem that's as stonefaced as she is, and right now, as mad as she is too. In fact, he's positively glowing with how mad he is.
- Sep 08 00:09:16 <StarmanTheta> I think this is probably a good time
- Sep 08 00:09:20 <StarmanTheta> to end for tonight
- Sep 08 00:09:28 * Nicholas runs towards Giselle and starts looking for wounds.
- Sep 08 00:09:50 <Giselle> That hurt alot, but she'sd still in one piece
- Sep 08 00:09:52 <Eric-> Thanks for the game!

- Sep 08 00:12:33 <Eric-> "Ughh, don't tell me..."
- Sep 08 00:12:57 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M

- Sep 08 00:27:48 <StarmanTheta> Giselle, while you don't know who this man is...you remember, when you were younger, someone like this coming to visit your dad univited, and his yelling the man out of the room and the house. It's about the only time you recall seeing your father legitimately angry
