  1. Aug 10 20:08:21 <StarmanTheta> It's been a long trip, but given that you've been sailing on a luxury cruise liner (made all the sweeter by the fact that it's not your own money that paid for these plush rooms) it seems far too short. Still, just roughly half an hour ago have you pulled into the port of Santa Carracosta! The smell of ocean spray and the caws of wingull mix with the blistering heat and excited chatter of tourists on the boardwalk to crea
  2. Aug 10 20:08:21 <StarmanTheta> te a multisensory panorama of island life.
  3. Aug 10 20:10:21 <StarmanTheta> It's hard to believe you're here for work, not play. Well, mostly work--though you're jostled out of your reverie by the large man, head shaved and wearing a floral print shirt that makes him seem less professor than he really isas he hauls equipment. "Whew! Glad to be back on land--the seas do nothing for my stomach," Professor Juniper says, pushing a cart along the crowded passageways just outside of boarding.
  4. Aug 10 20:11:11 <StarmanTheta> His pet rattata snoozes upon the cart, clearly no help, but he turns back to you all with a wide grin. "Enjoy the trip? Don't worry, the real fun starts now."
  5. Aug 10 20:14:42 * Eric- whistles at some of the passing birbs, occasionally giving Implanta (currently seated on his shoulder) her normal allowance of pats. "I sympathize with you, professor. I haven't been out to sea much - still feeling a little wobbly." Had it not been for the luxuries he would've been visibly excited to be on land - as it was, though, he just maintained the usual smile as he cast his gaze out to the crowd. "But yes, now we must solve
  6. Aug 10 20:14:42 * Eric- this mystery! I'm sure it'll be worthy of being called the "real fun."
  7. Aug 10 20:14:49 * Giselle emerges from the ship as well, lugging a frillish in her arms. "So this is Santa Carracosta? It is very much like home."
  8. Aug 10 20:15:20 * Lindy has already gotten a hold of a big woven fan somewhere and is happily fanning her face, not that her happy face is very different from all her other faces. "I'll write all the papers you want under the condition I get to make a vacation trip for each one."
  9. Aug 10 20:16:15 * Nicholas looks anxiously towards the nearby trees. "And when can we start, Profesor?"
  10. Aug 10 20:16:41 <Eric-> "Ah, yeah, this would feel familiar to you. We lived inland so I never got to go to the beach much - I'm excited to see what the nightlift here is like~"
  11. Aug 10 20:18:25 <StarmanTheta> Implanta is wide eyed--but when isn't she?--taking in all the sights, bleating softly and happily with each little pat. Prof Juniper laughs again. "So anxious to start, Nick? I thought you'd want to explore the town first, but if you insist, I've got some reports that need writing---nah I'm just messin' with ya. We gotta get this all to the lab first, it's near th epokemon center so not too far."
  12. Aug 10 20:19:45 <Giselle> "What kind of equipment did you bring?"
  13. Aug 10 20:19:57 <StarmanTheta> Pan is hauling Lindy's luggage in both arms, seemingly non-plussed, but how can you tell with that face that never changes? Fraise fans herself with a tendril, looking out at the nearby ocean longingly.
  14. Aug 10 20:19:59 * Giselle starts poking the professor's gear.
  15. Aug 10 20:20:21 * Eric- is less excited at the thought of lugging the... well, now he understood why it was called luggage. "Well, we can probably do both at once. We'll do better work if we're enjoying ourselves, after all."
  16. Aug 10 20:21:40 <StarmanTheta> He talks as you all wind through the throngs of people and towards the shuttles. "Not a whole lot, mostly tracking equipment. You know, radars and cameras and gps collars, and a system to set up a mobile base should you need it in the field. Of course, nothing beats good ol' fashioned manpower."
  17. Aug 10 20:22:28 * Nicholas carries his own luggage, taking great care of all the fragile things inside. Once he gets on firm land, he releases Amaryllis. "Take a look, Amar."
  18. Aug 10 20:23:07 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, Lindy, you remembered the cameras, right?"
  19. Aug 10 20:23:53 <StarmanTheta> Giselle, tech edu?
  20. Aug 10 20:23:53 * Lindy nods eagerly, patting the bags Pan is hauling.
  21. Aug 10 20:24:14 * Giselle strokes Fraise. "There there, we can visit the ocean after we are done at the lab. Okay?"
  22. Aug 10 20:24:21 * Eric- packed fairly light - everything he brought fit in a tidy backpack. "Excited about those? Well, I suppose you could get some excellent pictures with a view like this... And their work-related applications, too."
  23. Aug 10 20:24:24 <Giselle> sure
  24. Aug 10 20:24:36 <StarmanTheta> With a flash, Amar pops out of his pokeball, shaking himself and his legs now that he's on dry land. He looks around wtih a small amount of amazement--so many people and their pokemon! He seems giddy.
  25. Aug 10 20:24:44 <Giselle> 4d6+2
  26. Aug 10 20:24:44 <CritSenpai> 4d6+2: 17 [4d6=2,6,5,2]
  27. Aug 10 20:25:53 <Lindy> "Of course." Lindy looks left and right. "For work." Definitely for work, not for sightseeing.
  28. Aug 10 20:26:11 <StarmanTheta> Giselle, you recognize the model of tracking radar that the proff has on the cart. It's akin to the models the fishery used to track large aquatic pokemon, as well as remotely observe environments to get a good idea of the fish pokemon populations there.
  29. Aug 10 20:26:26 <StarmanTheta> Definitely good for field work, if you have to haul it that far.
  30. Aug 10 20:27:24 <Giselle> "What exactly do we know about this mysterious blue pokemon?"
  31. Aug 10 20:27:38 <StarmanTheta> Pan sort of huffs, but makes no other response as you all start to load onto a shuttle. "Don't worry, there's plenty of time for visiting the ocean. Setting up won't take too long. You guys are here to enjoy yoursleves too, y'know." The last line seems to be pointed directyl at Giselle
  32. Aug 10 20:28:59 * Eric- 's eyes are also kind of shifty, but for different reasons. They were in a beach town, after all. "And you as well, professor! It wouldn't be fair of us to hog all the fun, so I hope that doesn't happen." He looks over to Pan with - respect? Poor guy must be the pack mule a lot.
  33. Aug 10 20:29:10 * Lindy squats down to pat Pan's head extensively when all is loaded. Patting a head made of rock may seem strange, but she knows what she's doing.
  34. Aug 10 20:30:11 <StarmanTheta> "We don't know much," the shiny-headed man says as he settles in, taking the rattata to rest on his lap. "Reports have been few and far between, but rather consistent. We know that it likes water sources, and lives further inland. It's a bit skittish and territorial, and those hunting it before have mentioned being taken by surprise water attacks from streams that ruined their equipment."
  35. Aug 10 20:30:54 <StarmanTheta> Pan puts the stuff in, and seems to relent to the head pats, relaxing. This will do, clearly.
  36. Aug 10 20:31:33 <Lindy> And neck scrubs. Ground types are all about the neck scrubs, as everyone knows.
  37. Aug 10 20:31:37 <Eric-> "I imagine it'd be easy to dismiss as an urban legend since the equipment was conveniently ruined."
  38. Aug 10 20:31:43 <Giselle> "So It's very likely a water type. I figured as such." Giselle chimes as she pulls up an app on her pokedex.
  39. Aug 10 20:32:03 <StarmanTheta> It's not a terribly long drive to the pokemon center, at least lengthwise, but the throngs of inattentive toursits coupled with the regular traffic around that area make the ride take longer than it should have. The shuttle is cramped, but fortunately air conditioned.
  40. Aug 10 20:32:40 * Nicholas was glad he got his things in place, with some help from Amaryllis. His already poor coordination made worse by his anxiety, he stumbled a few times on the way. "And was anyone hurt on those attacks, Professor?"
  41. Aug 10 20:33:23 <StarmanTheta> "Yup! We don't know if it exists, but there have been legends about this dating back before this place was even a resort. I'd like to know more, and even if it doesn't exist, documenting the habitats and kinds of creatures here will still be a boon for the island's tourism and conservation efforts.
  42. Aug 10 20:34:01 * Eric- doesn't mind the length of the drive, really. As much as he enjoyed the sun, between the seasickness and his wire-thin frame it was taking the stamina out of him. He dooes his best to not make it obvious. "Hmm, that's very strange, then. If it's consistent with the reports, I doubt everyone - anyone? - of who saw it would know the legends."
  43. Aug 10 20:34:08 <StarmanTheta> Amaryllis nudges and rubs his neck against Nicholas happily, seeing his trainer anxious.
  44. Aug 10 20:34:40 <StarmanTheta> "No serious injuries. Nothing more than you'd expect dealing with wild pokemon in any case."
  45. Aug 10 20:35:04 * BustyBeetle (~BusterBee@Rizon-3F3AA704.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #ClearOcean
  46. Aug 10 20:35:33 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcz5V7qvidc
  47. Aug 10 20:36:52 * Eric- pulls Implanta off of his shoulders and into a cuddle. "I think our group should be well-suited, then. From what I understand a good number of our Pokemon are good at hindering as opposed to simple brute force."
  48. Aug 10 20:37:04 <StarmanTheta> The pokemon center, itself, is a much much larger affair than most--it's practically a whole hospital, with a campus dedicated to it. Neatly tended shrubbery and tropical trees line the roads as you drive around to the research side, a four storied building with slopped roof and wide tinted glass exterior.
  49. Aug 10 20:37:33 * Nicholas seems relieved. "Oh, good. So it's not going as far as actually hurting anyone, just defending its lair, the poor thing."
  50. Aug 10 20:37:36 * Lindy puffs her cheeks and puts a hand on Pan's shoulder at that. Nothing wrong with a little brute force from time to time.
  51. Aug 10 20:38:00 <Giselle> "Does it have a lair?"
  52. Aug 10 20:38:11 <Giselle> "What do we know about the sightings?"
  53. Aug 10 20:38:13 * Eric- gives a sideways grin at Lindy.
  54. Aug 10 20:38:15 <StarmanTheta> Giselle: On your pokedex, you see the tiny little tamogachi-liek form of a porygon excitedily bouncing up and down, like a LED figure. Nevermind the pokedex is all digital.
  55. Aug 10 20:39:15 * Giselle pulls out a stylus and begins tapping on Sonique's nose.
  56. Aug 10 20:40:35 <StarmanTheta> When you pull up, there are, thankfully, other aides there to help you with all of your crap. Juniper rubs his chin. "Most of them have been around small swamps or entrances to the underwater caves, so we suspect that it makes it home somewhere in the water around there. We're not entirely sure...but that's where you all come in! Your first assignment will be gathering information."
  57. Aug 10 20:41:20 * Eric- studies the campus. A worthy base of operations, no doubt. "Yes, I suppose so. I also wonder if there could be more than one - perhaps an entire new species! That would really be something." He nods at the professor's remarks.
  58. Aug 10 20:42:02 * Giselle starts looking around for a fountain or the like
  59. Aug 10 20:42:16 <Lindy> "I have a hunch the beach will have a lot of clues. I should investigate there."
  60. Aug 10 20:42:37 <StarmanTheta> Pan crosses his arms. Brute force is his specialty, thank you very much. Sonique beams, constantly moving around the screen so that you need to chase him with your stylus. Implanta wriggles and wriggles, eying the other aides very mischeviously, and Amar is all like YAY FRESH AIR AND SUN!
  61. Aug 10 20:43:16 * Nicholas hugs Amaryllis, caressing his head. Thhe big pokémon center was a welcome sight, but he soon gets worried about the aides. "Sorry for the trouble, but could you be careful? This is very fragile. Sorry again."
  62. Aug 10 20:43:41 * Lindy mirror's Pan's pose, crossing her arms and nodding seriously.
  63. Aug 10 20:43:48 <StarmanTheta> There happens to be a large fountain--three interconnected, really--with the statue of a kyogre in the middle at the center of the roundabout in front of the research building . It looks like some trainers are there, letting their water type pokemon splash around in it.
  64. Aug 10 20:44:50 * Giselle rushes over and lets Fraise down as well.
  65. Aug 10 20:44:54 <StarmanTheta> "Yes, the beach is a great place to start!" the Prof says in all earnestly, either not catching the ulterior motive in Lindy's comment or not caring--hard to tell with this one. "Plenty of trainers there, good place to scout information."
  66. Aug 10 20:45:11 * Eric- surveys the aides, making small talk and giving thanks when appropriate. He just shakes his head at Lindy and Pan's dour gaze and squeezes Implanta a little bit. "Okay, I don't want to make a bad impression right off the gate. You can mess with these people later, yeah?"
  67. Aug 10 20:45:39 <Giselle> "The beach, huh? hmmm..."
  68. Aug 10 20:46:09 <Eric-> "I can definitely get behind this plan as well."
  69. Aug 10 20:46:18 <Giselle> "We should dress appropriately, then."
  70. Aug 10 20:47:04 <StarmanTheta> Fraise seems very very relieved as she is sat down in the water, and immediately begins to put on her pretty routine for the other pokemon within there. The politoed seems a bit starstruck.
  71. Aug 10 20:47:38 * Nicholas seems a little disappointed of the beach route, but he would not complain. They would eventually go inland and he would be able to explore. "Dress appropriately? What do you mean? Why can't we go like this?"
  72. Aug 10 20:47:41 <StarmanTheta> Amaryllis growls amiably as his head is patted, and Implanta huffs, her plan ruined--for now.
  73. Aug 10 20:48:34 <StarmanTheta> "Hey, don't forget we need to get this stuff in and set up before you start running off, as well as go over some safety ground rules. This is a trip, but remember you're still on the clock."
  74. Aug 10 20:48:59 <Giselle> "The beach is the best excuse to wear a cute swimsuit. Everyone knows that."
  75. Aug 10 20:49:11 * Eric- snickers at the cottonshep's misfortune. "Well, you can't just go to the beach and no-" He reconsiders where he was going with this statement, in light of having a 15 and 11 year old on-board. Or he was, until Giselle basically said it. Huh.
  76. Aug 10 20:49:40 <Eric-> "No objections here. We don't want to get TOO sidetracked, after all."
  77. Aug 10 20:49:58 <Lindy> "Of course not."
  78. Aug 10 20:50:41 * Nicholas gladly goes inside the building. "I didn't even bring a swimsuit..."
  79. Aug 10 20:51:05 <StarmanTheta> As for moving in, it's a relatively straightforward affair. Your lab is on the third floor--not terribly big, but there's not a lot of people. Most of the equipment is already on the floor, so it only takes about a half hour or so to get all of your stuff set up.
  80. Aug 10 20:51:11 * Giselle has wivcked smile upon hearing that.
  81. Aug 10 20:52:25 * Eric- doesn't mind the lack of space, makes things cozier.
  82. Aug 10 20:52:31 <StarmanTheta> Afterwards, the good doctor takes you over to your hotel--no, not that mediocre lodging int he pokemon center, a real hotel, the Luxray. It may not be five star, but it's still fancy; he's rented a suite with two bedrooms, a kicthenette, a living room, and a patio overlooking the beach.
  83. Aug 10 20:53:26 <StarmanTheta> He gives you all your room keys, as well as swapping phone numbers and making emergency contact plans, before flopping down on the couch. "Ah...I think I'ma get situated in here," he says, his rattata jumping up on the couch with him. "You said you were gonna comb th ebeach? Well, get to work! Call me if you find anything."
  84. Aug 10 20:53:47 * Amos has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  85. Aug 10 20:54:03 <Giselle> "Yes, but there is something I must adress first."
  86. Aug 10 20:54:25 <Giselle> "Nicholas~"
  87. Aug 10 20:54:46 * Eric- gives a thumbs up. "Gladly! Thank you for the hospitality." He looks over at Nicholas with a touch of worry. Uh oh.
  88. Aug 10 20:54:49 * Nicholas looks surprised at his accomodations. He was not expecting such luxury. He puts his portable growers near a big window to get some good light and, when satisfied, turns to Giselle who is calling him. "Uhmm, yeah?"
  89. Aug 10 20:55:03 * Lindy nods and salutes, having returned Pan, who isn't so good with water, to his pokéball.
  90. Aug 10 20:56:47 * Giselle holds up a pair of lovingly crafted swimtrunks and a fairly dashing outfit to go with it
  91. Aug 10 20:57:13 <Giselle> "Could you see if this fits? I guessed at the size."
  92. Aug 10 20:57:34 * Eric- heads out to his room to change into something more comfortable than his suit - tch, the sun beating down got him soaked. Looks like this would need to be a casual trip.
  93. Aug 10 20:59:03 <Nicholas> "W-why do I need that?" He asks, but accepts the clothes anyway, going into the bathroom to change.
  94. Aug 10 21:01:00 * Lindy doesn't bother changing before the group heads to the beach - as it turns out, she's been wearing a swimsuit under her clothes all along! Just as planned.
  95. Aug 10 21:01:01 * Nicholas leaves, already dressed. The clothes weren't all bad, although his skinny body did make him a bit umcomfortable. "Uhmm, thanks, Giselle. They look great. So, shall we go?"
  96. Aug 10 21:02:00 <Giselle> "Yep, just a sec." Giselle quickly change her attire as well.
  97. Aug 10 21:02:09 <StarmanTheta> After you are all changed and ready to go, it's simply an elevator ride to the bottom floor and out th edoor to the beach front! Though, before you go, the professor stops Giselle. "Ah, Giselle!" he gets up and kneels before her. "Be sure to stick with everyone else and don't go off on your own, but remember to enjoy yourself, ok?"
  98. Aug 10 21:02:11 * Eric- also looks a touch silly in a swimsuit and t-shirt considering his thin physique, but it was all about presentation.
  99. Aug 10 21:02:53 <Giselle> "Alriiiiight..." She moans in disappointment.
  100. Aug 10 21:03:44 <StarmanTheta> "Just stay out of trouble. I owe your--" he stops himself, somber for a second, before his cheer returns . "Well, it wouldn't do if something happened to you. Now go on, don't lemme hold you up!"
  101. Aug 10 21:04:49 * Giselle stops for a second and gives and acknowledging nod before heading on out.
  102. Aug 10 21:05:11 <StarmanTheta> SO NOW
  103. Aug 10 21:05:13 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiP9Bhha0-4
  104. Aug 10 21:05:14 <StarmanTheta> THE BEACH
  105. Aug 10 21:05:52 * Eric- decides to let Ryuju out for the beach trip. Implanta probably wouldn't appreciate sand in her cotton, and he could take her swimming later. Also the beachhhhh
  106. Aug 10 21:06:27 <StarmanTheta> Who let the sun beat down upon my face? The beach is as lively as the boat ride over. A l ong boardwalk of various restaurants, clubs, bars, and other toursit trap like places overlook the sands and sparkling emerald ocean.
  107. Aug 10 21:06:54 <StarmanTheta> The beach is filled with people and pokemon, some relaxing and playing while others are having friendly battles or swimming in the sea.
  108. Aug 10 21:07:35 * Giselle goes ahead and lets Fraise down to do a bit more swimming.
  109. Aug 10 21:07:52 <Giselle> "Let me know if you find any odd pokemon, alright?"
  110. Aug 10 21:08:08 <Lindy> In view of the beach, Lindy spreads her arms up and to the sides in praise of the tropical sun as she lets Dunsany out to play in the sand. Definitely still thinking about work.
  111. Aug 10 21:08:47 * Nicholas is still umcomfrotable on this unfamiliar terrain. Amaryllis, howeverm is playing by the water and seems to be having fun. "So, guys, what should we do now?"
  112. Aug 10 21:09:02 <StarmanTheta> Along the beach, you see there's a small crowd gathered towards a man with his pokemon--he seems quite popular! On the boardwalk, there's an open air arcade, akin to your typical dave and busters with a bar far inside, in which people are chilling out of the sun and one rather burly man seems to be kicking everyone's ass in Innocent Ingram
  113. Aug 10 21:09:38 <StarmanTheta> And to the south, the sandy beach ends in a sudden cliff, but the boardwalk extends up to it, where a large pillar-esque rock overwatches the sea and is drawing all sorts of people
  114. Aug 10 21:09:52 <StarmanTheta> (also brb restroom you guys decide what you wanna check out)
  115. Aug 10 21:09:52 * Eric- was very definitely thinking about work, even if he was also feasting his eyes on the beachgoers. "Hmm, maybe strike up some casual conversation with passer-by and lead into the rumors? Going around just asking "Wow! Have you seen that thing?" might not work so well.
  116. Aug 10 21:10:00 <Giselle> "Well, I want to go see what everyone is excited about over there!"
  117. Aug 10 21:10:52 <Eric-> "By that pillar... sort-of thing, you mean?"
  118. Aug 10 21:10:54 <Lindy> "Yes, sounds good. You should start asking around. I mean we."
  119. Aug 10 21:10:56 * Gents (~biggest@Rizon-477A9295.res.bhn.net) has joined #ClearOcean
  120. Aug 10 21:12:21 <Giselle> "That man over there seems to be drawing a crowd too."
  121. Aug 10 21:12:33 <Giselle> "Should we split up?"
  122. Aug 10 21:13:44 <Nicholas> "Maybe. We are in a beach, so there's no problem, right?"
  123. Aug 10 21:14:13 <Eric-> "It wouldn't be hard to find each other again, I suppose.
  124. Aug 10 21:15:00 <Giselle> "Don't jynx us, or one of us will be sucked through a wormhole!"
  125. Aug 10 21:15:12 * Giselle waggles finger at Eric.
  126. Aug 10 21:15:30 * Eric- snickers. "Maybe we should stick together then. Who knows when a wormhole could appear?"
  127. Aug 10 21:15:46 <Nicholas> "Let's go in pairs, then. This way we can keep each other's tab. And make sure we're doing what we came to do." He looks at Lindy.
  128. Aug 10 21:16:04 <StarmanTheta> >Elsewhere, Hoopa snaps his fingers in frustration
  129. Aug 10 21:16:18 <Lindy> "Pairs is good. No leaving Giselle alone." That one actually did sound quite serious.
  130. Aug 10 21:16:28 <Eric-> "And make sure that the serious-faced among us aren't overworking themselves." He glances at Giselle and grins.
  131. Aug 10 21:16:29 <Giselle> "The professor told me to stay with the group, anyway. So yeah. pairs."
  132. Aug 10 21:16:56 <Nicholas> "So how do we split?"
  133. Aug 10 21:18:01 <Giselle> "Good question..."
  134. Aug 10 21:18:06 <StarmanTheta> Amar seems to be having a blast stomping around and splashing about in the sea, while Fraise lazily drifts on the shallow waves. Ryuju seems a bit unsure about what to do, so sticks close to Eric. And Dunsany--he don't give a fuck. He's already sipping someone's unattended drink on one of the nearby tables.
  135. Aug 10 21:18:46 * Giselle walks over and pets the electric sheep.
  136. Aug 10 21:19:14 <Giselle> "I'll go with Eric."
  137. Aug 10 21:19:23 * Eric- crouches down to meet Ryuju's eyes. "Hey, loosen up some. You gotta learn to relax, y'know?" He then looks over to the others. "I don't have a preference either way, bu- Oh, alright then. Where to, Giselle?"
  138. Aug 10 21:20:10 <Lindy> Lindy nods and looks at Nicholas. "I'd like to see that pillar then."
  139. Aug 10 21:20:18 <StarmanTheta> Ryuju kinda humphs, unsure about being petted but allows it.
  140. Aug 10 21:20:33 <Giselle> "As much as I like mysterious strangles hanging around beaches, brandishing pokemopn, my city has one of those. Lets see the tower!"
  141. Aug 10 21:21:02 <Nicholas> "Ok, so I stick with you, Lindy, if that's ok... Let's go check the pillar, then. Amar, we're going."
  142. Aug 10 21:21:30 * Eric- shakes his head. Just like his old man - except the, y'know, other thing. "Think they beat us to the punch there, Giselle. Let's go see about this performer, I suppose?"
  143. Aug 10 21:21:46 <Eric-> "Or we can go with them. You seem pretty invested!"
  144. Aug 10 21:22:41 <Giselle> "Well there is no point in pairing up if we don't actually split."
  145. Aug 10 21:23:35 <Giselle> "So let's see what this guy is up to."
  146. Aug 10 21:23:43 * Giselle starts running ahead
  147. Aug 10 21:24:16 * Eric- shrugs. "I wouldn't worry too much. We're not in a big hurry, after all." He stands up an- ah, there she goes. Aw well - he's forced into following her anyway. He hustles too and whistles for Ryuju to come with.
  148. Aug 10 21:24:22 * Lindy calls Dunsany with a sharp, piercing whistle for belly rubs and to come along. There's many drinks on the beach.
  149. Aug 10 21:24:23 <StarmanTheta> Amar seems disappointed that he can't keep splashing people in the shallow tide pools, but he relents and comes along. He even scoops up Fraise, against her protests, and starts trotting after Giselle
  150. Aug 10 21:25:49 <StarmanTheta> Ryuju rolls his eyes as he follows. Dunsany burps and flutters after Lindy
  151. Aug 10 21:27:16 * Giselle stops mid dash and begins heading towards the pillar instead.
  152. Aug 10 21:27:40 * Eric- raises an eyebrow before following after her. "???"
  153. Aug 10 21:28:28 * Nicholas sees Giselle coming towards them and feels less anxious. "So, are you coming with us, then?"
  154. Aug 10 21:28:33 <StarmanTheta> Up on the boardwalk, up the ramp to the cliff! THe breeze is easy to feel here, as this section of the boardwalk is a circular, wooden platform, all encircling a large rock that tourist keep taking pictures of.
  155. Aug 10 21:28:57 <Giselle> "Well... if you think about it, strange mystical rock beats out weird street performer."
  156. Aug 10 21:30:03 <StarmanTheta> Thiss mossy, weather worn rock stands high. It looks like someone long ago chiseled a life-sized relief of a dragonite into it, bedecked with trinkets and jewelry as it seems to sleep. It looks very lifelike! Below it there is a large plaque.
  157. Aug 10 21:30:05 * Nicholas shrugs. "None actually attracts me much, to be honest. But I'm glad we're together." He pats Amar with a smile.
  158. Aug 10 21:30:06 * Eric- realizes the rock might be mystical. GROSS. But there wasn't anything to do about it now. He eyes the Flying Booster inset in a necklace - a gift from his sister - suspiciously.
  159. Aug 10 21:31:31 <StarmanTheta> There, two teenagers--a tall, dark-skinned boy with a very relax expression in track pants and his track jacket tied about his waist--looks on, while the tall, fair-skinned woman with longbrunnete hair in a sundress quitely sketches the strange rock.
  160. Aug 10 21:31:33 <Giselle> "What's so gross about it?" It might be connected to what we're looking for. Right?"
  161. Aug 10 21:31:40 * Amos (~Defamos@AD5643E1:FCD96134:F9F6308:IP) has joined #ClearOcean
  162. Aug 10 21:32:34 * Eric- frowns. "I, uh... it's a long story." He takes a look at the two individuals. "Hm, wonder why she's sketching it."
  163. Aug 10 21:33:00 * Nicholas is trying to read the plaque.
  164. Aug 10 21:33:02 * Lindy leaves mingling with the tourists and reading the plaque to others for the moment, standing back to get some good photos of the statue.
  165. Aug 10 21:33:43 <Giselle> "Good question."
  166. Aug 10 21:34:01 * Giselle starts moving closer to get a better look at the sketch.
  167. Aug 10 21:35:04 * Eric- leans against whatever's close to the tall guy, examing the statue. "Quite a sight, isn't it?"
  168. Aug 10 21:35:07 <StarmanTheta> The plaque reads: "The Sleeping Dragonite: This mysterious carving has been on Santa Carrocosta since before the resort town was even built. Its true orgins are a mystery; the leading theory suggests that ancient Masiirkian Sailors erected this statue to watch over their travels at sea, given Dragonite's protective nature towards sailors and other such rocks being found along ancient sea routes, but to this day no one kno
  169. Aug 10 21:35:07 <StarmanTheta> ws for sure."
  170. Aug 10 21:37:05 <StarmanTheta> Giselle, you move closer and look over her sketch--a very detailed greyscale! Though she seems to be drawing it as the dragonite leaning out of the rock for some reason. The teenage by looks over to Eric with a nod. "Yeah, I could stare at it all day. Didn't expect stuff like this here."
  171. Aug 10 21:37:11 <StarmanTheta> Eric, perception check would you
  172. Aug 10 21:37:24 <Eric-> 3d6+2 always blow ap on perception
  173. Aug 10 21:37:24 <CritSenpai> always blow ap on perception: 14 [3d6=6,4,2]
  174. Aug 10 21:38:17 <StarmanTheta> You don't see anything. Continue.
  175. Aug 10 21:38:43 <StarmanTheta> The woman frowns as Giselle worms closer. "Yes?" she says to the girl.
  176. Aug 10 21:39:23 <Giselle> "Oh. Um... I was curious about the style you are using. I draw too."
  177. Aug 10 21:40:09 * Eric- nods. "Tourist traps are one thing, of course, but ancient works of art are a nice surprise for sure. Wonder if it's related to this mystery pokemon everyone's been chattering about."
  178. Aug 10 21:40:48 * Nicholas stares at how comfortable his companions seem to be talking to strangers and looking natural. He decides to study the moss growing on the rock to see if it's any good.
  179. Aug 10 21:41:00 * Lindy skulks around the perimeter of the platform, getting photos from every angle she can get a good shot from, including with Dunsany and Pan in the picture and some candid shots of the others.
  180. Aug 10 21:41:11 <StarmanTheta> The guy places his hands in his pockets. "Ah, mystery pokemon? Yeah I heard about that. I wanted to go see it earlier, but..."
  181. Aug 10 21:41:21 <StarmanTheta> Lindy, perception check!
  182. Aug 10 21:41:27 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas, survival
  183. Aug 10 21:41:41 * Eric- tilts his head. "Hm? Something unusual happen?"
  184. Aug 10 21:41:58 <Lindy> 6d6+5 AP for the AP god
  185. Aug 10 21:41:58 <CritSenpai> AP for the AP god: 29 [6d6=6,1,2,4,5,6]
  186. Aug 10 21:42:28 <StarmanTheta> Giselle: "Ah, well, it's just...hm, how do I explain it? I just draw it as it comes to me." She kneels down, to let Giselle get a better view of her sketch. "It's nice to meet another artist here."
  187. Aug 10 21:42:39 <Nicholas> 6d6+2
  188. Aug 10 21:42:40 <CritSenpai> 6d6+2: 24 [6d6=5,1,5,5,3,3]
  189. Aug 10 21:42:59 <StarmanTheta> Lindy, as you snap a picture of the group--you see in one of them, floating right behind Eric, eerie glowing red eyes!
  190. Aug 10 21:43:48 * Giselle blushes a bit. "I wouldn't call myself that. I just sketch a few designs and count things I see."
  191. Aug 10 21:44:24 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas, this moss has been here awhile, but is a very rare breed. You think if you scrape some of it off, you could use it as a...
  192. Aug 10 21:44:25 * Lindy stares intently at her photo, paging back through the others as well, and tries again to get another picture of Eric.
  193. Aug 10 21:44:26 <StarmanTheta> 1d4
  194. Aug 10 21:44:26 <CritSenpai> 1d4: 2 [1d4=2]
  195. Aug 10 21:44:34 <StarmanTheta> Mental herb
  196. Aug 10 21:44:54 <StarmanTheta> You snap that photo, same deal as before!
  197. Aug 10 21:45:31 <StarmanTheta> Eric-: The man nods. "Me and Hazel here, we thought of going inland to scout out some pokemon. We got to the swamps, but had to turn back when her blastoise got sick."
  198. Aug 10 21:45:46 <Lindy> What about from a different angle? Lindy's a scientist! And certainly not messing with Eric's groove at all.
  199. Aug 10 21:45:48 <Nicholas> "Ooh, lucky! Does anyone have a..." He stops, looking at Lindy's face. "Are you alright?"
  200. Aug 10 21:45:56 <StarmanTheta> "All he did was take a dip in the stream, then he was reeling. It was the weirdest thing. Heiroglphyics was fine, but..."
  201. Aug 10 21:46:43 <StarmanTheta> Click click click! The red eyes move here and there, sometimes you get an outline--and sometimes, a chesire grin. Its like this mysterious floating face is pantomining the way eric- talks
  202. Aug 10 21:47:06 <StarmanTheta> Giselle: The woman smiles. "Perhaps you could show me, should you get the chance. I'm sure they're lovely."
  203. Aug 10 21:47:08 * Eric- sighs. "Aw, that's really unfortunate... and unusual. Just a regular ol' stream? Thanks for the heads up, might've happened to one of us too. We were probably going to scout inland too - did you find anything else of note?"
  204. Aug 10 21:47:17 * Lindy wordlessly shows her photos to Nicholas.
  205. Aug 10 21:48:14 <Giselle> "Maybe. I really like yours though. It looks like that Dragonite is about to leap out of the rock."
  206. Aug 10 21:49:48 * Nicholas whispers to Lindy, with a trembly voice. "W-what should we do? Shouldn't we tell him"
  207. Aug 10 21:50:31 <StarmanTheta> "Yeah, it just seemed like a regular stream. I unno, smelled funky. Hazel said that's not something you would expect here--there werent' even any poison type pokemon swimmin' in it." He folds his arms. "Other'n that...I unno. We found a few broken pokeballs and stuff lying around, but that's normal." He raises an eyebrow. "Why you ask? You guys trainers lookin' for mons too?"
  208. Aug 10 21:51:49 <Lindy> 4d6+3 pokédu
  209. Aug 10 21:51:50 <CritSenpai> pokédu: 15 [4d6=1,1,4,6]
  210. Aug 10 21:52:07 <Giselle> 3d6 occult
  211. Aug 10 21:52:07 <CritSenpai> occult: 8 [3d6=6,1,1]
  212. Aug 10 21:52:24 * Eric- taps his chin. "Yeah, really strange. This place is pretty pristine and untouched - very unusual you'd see that seort of thing." He smiles, hoping to disarm any tension that may be building up. "Yep! On an expedition with a few others, we just got here today."
  213. Aug 10 21:52:27 <StarmanTheta> Lindy, you're almost mostly 100% positive that is, in fact, a Gengar
  214. Aug 10 21:52:51 <StarmanTheta> Giselle, you've not really seen these before, but the reliefe is pretty
  215. Aug 10 21:53:55 <Lindy> "He'll be fine. Probably." She takes advantage of the beat in conversation to tap Eric on the shoulder softly.
  216. Aug 10 21:54:35 <StarmanTheta> Hazel nods. "I don't know why, but I felt like it was better to draw it this way." As for the guy, he seems impressed. "An expedition? Dang, that sounds like more forethought than what I did. I guess you guys'll be hanging around here for awhile then."
  217. Aug 10 21:55:44 * Eric- nods. "Yeah, we'll probably be here a good while." He looks over at Lindy. "Oh hey, here's one of 'em. Lindy, this is..." He stops. "Oh, never got your name. I'm Eric, myself."
  218. Aug 10 21:56:03 <Giselle> "Hmmm..."
  219. Aug 10 21:56:09 <StarmanTheta> "Ocean," he says, extending a hand. "Nice t'meetya, Eric."
  220. Aug 10 21:56:13 <Lindy> She holds up her camera to show Eric a shot of him with a pair of eyes and a spooky grin she's especially proud of. "You made a friend."
  221. Aug 10 21:56:39 * Giselle stares at the pillar for a bit and tries to get a feel for it.
  222. Aug 10 21:57:11 <Giselle> 4d6+1 Intuition
  223. Aug 10 21:57:11 <CritSenpai> Intuition: 17 [4d6=3,6,4,3]
  224. Aug 10 21:57:23 * Nicholas is nervously looking around and behind his shoulders.
  225. Aug 10 21:57:45 * Eric- frowns. "Aw, for hell's sake, even when I'm away from home I can't get away from these dumb ghosts! Did my sis stick a voodoo doll in my backpack or something, goddamn it." He throws his gaze backward and glares at the unseen spook.
  226. Aug 10 21:58:22 <Lindy> "It's probably hers." Lindy looks at the sketching lady.
  227. Aug 10 21:58:51 <StarmanTheta> Ocean peers over and looks at the photo. "Hm? Oh. That's just Hiero. Hey, Hiero, quit spookin' the dude." As he says that, a gengar materializes above Eric, giggling quite pleased with himself. "Sorry 'bout that. Hieroglyphics likes to do that with everyone."
  228. Aug 10 21:59:29 <StarmanTheta> Hazel shakes her head. "I would never own such a rude pokemon," she says, to which Hieroglyphics sticks his tongue out.
  229. Aug 10 22:00:14 * Eric- huffs, but quickly recomposes himself. ".. Aw, yeah, sorry about that. I have a prankster myself, so I can't really judge." He begrudgingly reaches up and pats the trickster, as much as one CAN pat a ghost.
  230. Aug 10 22:00:24 <StarmanTheta> Giselle, you don't know what this Dragonite means, but you feel it has some history to it--though, given that dragonite definitely aren't blue or live in rainforest rivers, you're guessing that ain't your mystery pokemon.
  231. Aug 10 22:00:49 * Nicholas seems relieved. A trainer's Gengar is nothing to be afraid of. Outside of battle, at least. "Uhm, sorry, guys. Does anyone have a knife or something sharp?"
  232. Aug 10 22:01:31 <Giselle> "Are you a fan of ghost pokemon, then?"
  233. Aug 10 22:02:04 <StarmanTheta> "Hm? Ah..." Ocean digs through his trainer pack, before producing a sheathed survival knife. "Here you go. And yeah, a bit. Hiero's like a brother to me...but I don't wanna bore you with the story."
  234. Aug 10 22:02:17 * Giselle whistles for her own spirited pokemon.
  235. Aug 10 22:02:27 <Lindy> "Works for me." Speaking of rude pokémon, not that Dunsany is rude, she looks around to make sure he isn't sapping the ground under the statue or anything. "Not with me... never mind."
  236. Aug 10 22:03:21 <StarmanTheta> Amar comes over, delivering Fraise. She and Hieroglyphics look at each other curiously, the gengar floating over, before holding out his claw. Fraise returns with a tendril in a shake. A bond formed of spookiness
  237. Aug 10 22:04:06 <StarmanTheta> Dunsany somehow climbed to the top of the pillar, and is now sunbathing on it.
  238. Aug 10 22:04:28 <Giselle> "Looks like you made a friend, Fraise."
  239. Aug 10 22:05:01 * Eric- nods with appreciation at lending the knife - his is lost in his crap somewhere. "Mm, thanks again for the help. We'll probably want to get going soon - you guys going to be in town much longer?"
  240. Aug 10 22:06:09 <StarmanTheta> Hazel brushes off her skirt. "For the rest of the week, at least. I feel we'll be hanging around here quite often."
  241. Aug 10 22:06:22 * Nicholas takes the knife and carefully cuts a portion of the moss. He smells it a bit then bites a portion. With a grin, he gives the knife back to Ocean. "Itatiella ulei. Very rare, yet useful. Lucky finding such good specimen here."
  242. Aug 10 22:06:36 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas, you got
  243. Aug 10 22:06:42 <StarmanTheta> 1d2+1
  244. Aug 10 22:06:42 <CritSenpai> 1d2+1: 2 [1d2=1]
  245. Aug 10 22:06:48 * Lindy takes a photo of her pokémon at the height of his photogeneity.
  246. Aug 10 22:06:59 <Giselle> "Say, where is that place you meantioned earlier? with the strange tainted water?"
  247. Aug 10 22:07:11 <StarmanTheta> 2 equivalent of mental herb
  248. Aug 10 22:07:43 <StarmanTheta> The Gengar sees you with the camera, and poses before you snap th eshot
  249. Aug 10 22:08:53 * Eric- makes a note to see if he can pick up one of Hazel's sketches sometime. "Suppose I'll see you guys around, then. Hope the Blastoise comes out alright~"
  250. Aug 10 22:08:58 <StarmanTheta> Ocean says, "it was off the trail. We took a turn right at this lighting split tree on the road, then walked about...what was it...15 minutes? It was a rather large stream, lots of bug pokemon around."
  251. Aug 10 22:09:36 * Nicholas carefully divides the moss. He offers half of it to Ocean. "Here. It may seem gross, but it's actually good. It helps focusing, so it may be good on clearing a pokémon mind midbattle. Take this piece as an appreciation for the knife. And the info."
  252. Aug 10 22:09:47 <StarmanTheta> "Do not be concerned; we've tended to Noontide and he is right as rain," Hazel says. "Though, we must be going as well--we've a prior appointment. It was a pleasure to meet you, Eric."
  253. Aug 10 22:10:31 <StarmanTheta> Ocean takes the knife and the moss, smelling the moss curiously. "Yeah, no problem. Happy hunting."
  254. Aug 10 22:10:45 <Eric-> "Good to meet both of you! Hope that appointtment goes well too, then."
  255. Aug 10 22:13:00 * Giselle takes a moment to try and sketch up that moment between Fraise and Heiro before.
  256. Aug 10 22:13:29 <StarmanTheta> "Thanks again. Adios." "Take care, you all." They take their leave, though Hiero sticks around long enough to pose for the sketch. Because he's vain like that.
  257. Aug 10 22:14:59 <Eric-> "Very resourceful, Nick. Good to have someone with a sharp eye for that stuff. And, hm.. where to next, do you think? There's still that performer I'd imagine, and I saw some people up by the bar. People tend to talk freely after a few drinks."
  258. Aug 10 22:15:07 <Giselle> 4d6+1 intuition I guess
  259. Aug 10 22:15:07 <CritSenpai> intuition I guess: 11 [4d6=5,1,3,1]
  260. Aug 10 22:16:01 <Eric-> "Or we can look into this odd spring. I suppose doing that before the anomaly passed might be wise."
  261. Aug 10 22:16:02 <StarmanTheta> The sketch doesn't come out as well as you'd hoped, but it's not bad
  262. Aug 10 22:17:26 <Giselle> "Sorry Fraise, I couldn't capture your glorious moment of bonding just right."
  263. Aug 10 22:18:02 <StarmanTheta> Fraise seems somewhat disappointed, but pats Giselle all the same
  264. Aug 10 22:19:13 <StarmanTheta> Suddenly
  265. Aug 10 22:19:16 <Nicholas> "Thanks, Eric. But I'll have to disagree. The anomaly, whatever it was, will probably still be there. Pokemon wouldn't leave their habitat for something ephemeral."
  266. Aug 10 22:19:21 <StarmanTheta> you guys get a ring on your cellphones
  267. Aug 10 22:19:41 <StarmanTheta> It looks to be from the prof. Pick up?
  268. Aug 10 22:19:55 * Lindy picks up right after the first ring.
  269. Aug 10 22:20:05 * Eric- looks over at Giselle's sketch. "They seemed pretty alright, perhaps we'll see them again for another go. In any event, I- Eh?" He picks it up after the second ring.
  270. Aug 10 22:20:40 <StarmanTheta> Click! "Hello? You guys there?"
  271. Aug 10 22:20:40 <Giselle> "Hello?"
  272. Aug 10 22:21:18 <Eric-> "Yupyup! Just meeting people and picking up a few interesting things here and there - but what's up?"
  273. Aug 10 22:21:20 <Lindy> "Where else?"
  274. Aug 10 22:21:23 * Nicholas tries to be as fast as he comapnions, but that only makes him fumble and drop the phone. He picks it up, but it's off. He tries to listen from Eric's.
  275. Aug 10 22:21:31 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, there you are," the prof's voice rings through. "Just checking in on if you've made any progress. Especially you, Lindy."
  276. Aug 10 22:22:07 <Giselle> "We found a small lead."
  277. Aug 10 22:22:17 <Lindy> "Photographic documentation of a relic of local mythology." Sounds almost like she's rehearsed the phrase.
  278. Aug 10 22:22:47 <Eric-> "Made a few friends too, I think we might be able to get more info out of 'em sometime."
  279. Aug 10 22:23:05 <StarmanTheta> "Oooh, a lead? That sounds very good--lay it on me."
  280. Aug 10 22:23:45 <Eric-> "There's a spring somewhere off the beaten path outside of town - full-grown Blastoise got in and got sick immediately. No signs of poison-types or anything that would be suspect."
  281. Aug 10 22:24:03 * Eric- lets Nick listen in and say anything if needed.
  282. Aug 10 22:25:16 <StarmanTheta> "Really? " He's quiet for a second, and you can hear the sounds of scribbling. "I've not heard of such a thing; so far as I know; there shouldn't be anything on this island that would dump toxins into the water like that, let alone somewhere secluded. I want you all to check it out."
  283. Aug 10 22:25:55 <StarmanTheta> "Swing by the lab to grab some gear for water samples, and get headed towards there while it's still light. I've been talking with the local rangers; they should let you through no problem."
  284. Aug 10 22:26:42 * Eric- beams, since this was pretty much what he wanted to look into first anyway, and now they had to.
  285. Aug 10 22:27:11 <Lindy> Lindy's shoulders slump a little. Just a little bit. "On the way."
  286. Aug 10 22:27:20 <StarmanTheta> "If you have any questions, text me. Good luck!"
  287. Aug 10 22:27:21 <StarmanTheta> Click
  288. Aug 10 22:27:25 <StarmanTheta> Well, that's settled, isn't it?
  289. Aug 10 22:27:33 <Giselle> "Do you have anything that could protect a pokemon?"
  290. Aug 10 22:28:02 <Giselle> ...
  291. Aug 10 22:28:09 * Giselle starts texting
  292. Aug 10 22:28:32 * Nicholas sighs. Not that he didn't want to check the spring, but he rather finish the beach ordeal so they wouldn't have reasons to return there. "Well, let's go back to the lab, then."
  293. Aug 10 22:28:33 * Eric- starts back towards the lab. "From the poison or whatever it is, you mean? I've got faith in Nick here, if any of them or us do get sick we're in good hands."
  294. Aug 10 22:28:45 <StarmanTheta> You get a prompt text back: [No full body suits but got some spare antidotes. Pick some up for yourselves too if you think you need them!]
  295. Aug 10 22:30:04 * Nicholas blushes. "I'd do my best."
  296. Aug 10 22:30:07 <Lindy> Lindy nods. "We have plenty of medicine."
  297. Aug 10 22:30:10 * Giselle picks up Fraise and starts heading for the lab
  298. Aug 10 22:30:49 <StarmanTheta> The trek to the lab doesn't take long. Inside the prof is already waiting for you with your equipment
  299. Aug 10 22:32:01 <StarmanTheta> There's 4 antidotes, as well as 8 packages for taking water samples, which include gloves, vials, etc
  300. Aug 10 22:32:23 <Giselle> "I do have an idea, as well."
  301. Aug 10 22:32:33 * Eric- keeps one of the antidotes on his person. Better safe than sorry.
  302. Aug 10 22:32:48 <StarmanTheta> Though the prof more or less shoos you towards the door as soon as you get the stuff
  303. Aug 10 22:33:04 * Giselle also takes an antidote
  304. Aug 10 22:33:28 * Eric- is promptly shoo'd out. To adventure!
  305. Aug 10 22:33:49 <Giselle> "Do any of you have poison type moves?
  306. Aug 10 22:34:08 * Lindy takes one for herself, to be safe, and is promptly on the way without need for much shooing. Onward and forward to complete safety! "None."
  307. Aug 10 22:34:32 <Eric-> "'Fraid not. Perhaps we'll be able to fix that, who knows."
  308. Aug 10 22:35:24 <Giselle> "Well, I figured that a steel type would get through the poison easily enough, right?"
  309. Aug 10 22:35:38 * Obs__ (~Obs@22CA5DF7:324340DA:3CCF95F4:IP) has joined #ClearOcean
  310. Aug 10 22:35:49 * Obs__ is now known as EricAponte
  311. Aug 10 22:37:04 <StarmanTheta> Ok!
  312. Aug 10 22:37:07 <Nicholas> "Guys, if you don't mind, have these as well." He gives each one a Antidote Patch. "These take some time to take effect, so they can't be used in battle. If possible, try not to use the concentrated Antidotes the Profesosr gave you, 'cause later I could make more dilutions out of those. If you need to be healed in battle, leave it to me. I can probably do it more quickly."
  313. Aug 10 22:37:47 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHu9Zel0NYU
  314. Aug 10 22:38:20 * EricAponte 's seen patches before, so he's perfectly on board with this. "Alright, sounds like a plan."
  315. Aug 10 22:38:42 <StarmanTheta> AFter you've made your preparations, it's only a hop on one of the local shuttles towards the outskirts of town. The further out you get, the rougher the terrain and the more pokemon you see poking around. When you get to the treelines of tropical rainforest, you pass by a ranger station, but they, having been called ahead of time, flag you through
  316. Aug 10 22:39:03 * Eric- has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  317. Aug 10 22:39:07 * EricAponte is now known as Eric-
  318. Aug 10 22:39:17 <StarmanTheta> But there's no driving--the road's too rough from here on out, so it's pure foot power. Fortunately, there's a clear path! Unfortunately, it's till hot and humid and long and stuff
  319. Aug 10 22:39:39 <StarmanTheta> Until you finally come across the tree Ocean told you about, and the turn off of the beaten path
  320. Aug 10 22:40:17 * Eric- is only kept from complaining by the instinct, practically ingrained in him after his upbringing, to keep up appearances. "Yeah, see, this isn't that bad. We're already there, basically!"
  321. Aug 10 22:40:19 <Giselle> "This place sure is a lot more hot than my home..."
  322. Aug 10 22:40:52 * Giselle has had no such upbringing
  323. Aug 10 22:41:20 <Lindy> For all she liked the beach, Lindy takes well to the trek, taking nominal point and making good headway on the road. "Turn right at the tree, and then fifteen minutes..."
  324. Aug 10 22:41:31 <StarmanTheta> In the distance, you can hear rushing water...
  325. Aug 10 22:42:01 <Giselle> "This must be the place."
  326. Aug 10 22:42:14 * Nicholas asks Amaryllis to wait a bit, recalling him into his pokéball. He then summons Zoysia, who comes out silently, as always. "Zoy, we may need you. Stick close." He then feeds her a Lum Berry.
  327. Aug 10 22:42:22 <Eric-> "I believe he said that Hazel mentioned an odd smell. Keep your noses out, I suppose."
  328. Aug 10 22:42:26 <Lindy> "Spring confirmed." Lindy nods.
  329. Aug 10 22:43:36 <StarmanTheta> Zoysia comes out, clearly in her element. She quickly devours the berry
  330. Aug 10 22:43:42 * Eric- releases Implanta - he'd recalled Ryuju earlier, not seeing the point of subjecting either of them to the trek. "I think you could hide pretty easily in forest this thick. Stay on the outskirts and keep quiet until something happens, aight?"
  331. Aug 10 22:43:45 <StarmanTheta> we'll be on r20 in a sec, just finishing up a few things
  332. Aug 10 22:44:01 * Giselle pulls out a luxary ball and calls back Fraise.
  333. Aug 10 22:44:49 * Nicholas is looking at the vegetation around, checkinf for signs of poisoning or diseases (and rare plants, of course).
  334. Aug 10 22:45:32 <Giselle> "Sonique? would you mind comming out?" She holds up the pokedex to the stars.
  335. Aug 10 22:45:56 <Nicholas> 6d6+2 Survival
  336. Aug 10 22:45:57 <CritSenpai> Survival: 22 [6d6=1,3,5,5,3,3]
  337. Aug 10 22:46:21 <StarmanTheta> ok
  338. Aug 10 22:46:26 <StarmanTheta> so
  339. Aug 10 22:46:28 <Giselle> 1d6 survival
  340. Aug 10 22:46:28 <CritSenpai> survival: 3 [1d6=3]
  341. Aug 10 22:47:07 <StarmanTheta> The little duck pops out the pokedex!
  342. Aug 10 22:47:21 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas, you realize a lot of these plants are a bit wilted. They definitely don't seem healthy
  343. Aug 10 22:47:22 <StarmanTheta> with that
  344. Aug 10 22:47:24 <StarmanTheta> let's move to the map
  345. Aug 10 22:47:57 <StarmanTheta> Arrange yourselves coming from the top path as you'd like
  346. Aug 10 22:48:41 <StarmanTheta> The first thing you notice when you come into the area is the smell. There's something foul and acrid wafting through the area, not like what you'd expect from a rain forest jungle. It matches neither the smell of dirt or decomposition.
  347. Aug 10 22:49:55 <StarmanTheta> The second thing you ontice is bugs and other pokemon. They seem rather on edge, and when they notice you, they jump. The scythers buzz angrily, making swipes at the air.
  348. Aug 10 22:50:19 <StarmanTheta> Pokemon nearer the stream, you notice, look a lot more languid and less well, but still very much hostile
  349. Aug 10 22:50:47 <StarmanTheta> It doesn't look like they're happy to see you. Which means it's time for initiatives!
  350. Aug 10 22:51:22 * Eric- was too late to stop Giselle from running ahead. Bluh.
  351. Aug 10 22:51:32 <Eric-> Eric 20, Implanta30
  352. Aug 10 22:51:33 * Giselle starts walking into the aera, trying to give off more of a friendly and approachable aura.
  353. Aug 10 22:51:34 <StarmanTheta> Uh giselle
  354. Aug 10 22:51:38 <StarmanTheta> move back some
  355. Aug 10 22:51:43 <Giselle> ok
  356. Aug 10 22:51:49 <StarmanTheta> that's a bit too far up. you would have seen the pokemon before you got that fire
  357. Aug 10 22:51:51 <StarmanTheta> *far
  358. Aug 10 22:51:59 <StarmanTheta> As in
  359. Aug 10 22:52:01 <Lindy> Pan 20, Lindy 19
  360. Aug 10 22:52:03 <StarmanTheta> you really don't want to be in the front
  361. Aug 10 22:52:45 <StarmanTheta> Well whatevs.
  362. Aug 10 22:52:46 <Nicholas> Nicholas 11, Zoysia 6 (Going last, I assume)
  363. Aug 10 22:52:50 <StarmanTheta> Giselle?
  364. Aug 10 22:52:53 <StarmanTheta> what's your init
  365. Aug 10 22:53:25 <Giselle> Oh, right
  366. Aug 10 22:53:27 <Giselle> 21
  367. Aug 10 22:53:53 <Giselle> Sonique has 9
  368. Aug 10 22:54:26 * StarmanTheta has changed the topic to: Channel for Where Does This Ocean Go? minicampaign. | Mondays at 8PM EST GMT-5 | http://paradoxhaze.wikidot.com/where-does-this-ocean-go | Implanta 30, Giselle and Scyther 21, Eric, Pan, Serperior 20, Lindy 19, Joltik 17, Dragoniar 14, Nicholas 11, Sonique 9, Zoysia 6
  369. Aug 10 22:54:30 <StarmanTheta> Implanta! You're up
  370. Aug 10 22:54:38 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iISk2cs_SdE
  371. Aug 10 22:55:01 <Eric-> Implanta is a lover and not a hater, so she plucks a leaf from a nearby tree and plays a soothing melody. Grass Whistle against the Jotlik below her!
  372. Aug 10 22:55:12 <Eric-> 1d20+1 vs ac 5 speed eva, sleeps on hit
  373. Aug 10 22:55:12 <CritSenpai> vs ac 5 speed eva, sleeps on hit: 14 [1d20=13]
  374. Aug 10 22:55:22 <StarmanTheta> Zzz!
  375. Aug 10 22:55:25 <StarmanTheta> It's out like a light
  376. Aug 10 22:55:28 <Eric-> Nothing else.
  377. Aug 10 22:55:37 <StarmanTheta> Giselle!
  378. Aug 10 22:57:04 <StarmanTheta> Giselle?
  379. Aug 10 22:57:36 <Giselle> Sorry, I was checking range
  380. Aug 10 22:57:55 <StarmanTheta> you can use the ruler tool to measure distance
  381. Aug 10 22:58:24 <Giselle> I did, I mixed it up first, though
  382. Aug 10 22:59:40 <StarmanTheta> Would you like to hold until you figure out what you'd liek to do?
  383. Aug 10 23:00:21 <Giselle> which joltik is alseep?
  384. Aug 10 23:00:30 <Eric-> Leftmost one.
  385. Aug 10 23:01:15 * Giselle steps a bit closer
  386. Aug 10 23:01:52 <Giselle> "It's alright... we aren't here to hurt you. We just want to see whats wrong with the stream, okay?"
  387. Aug 10 23:02:17 <Giselle> I'd like to roll to improve it's disposition
  388. Aug 10 23:02:30 <Giselle> the joltik on the right
  389. Aug 10 23:02:32 <StarmanTheta> Well that'd be a charm check, I think.
  390. Aug 10 23:02:36 <StarmanTheta> But it's a high dc
  391. Aug 10 23:02:36 <Eric-> Yupyup.
  392. Aug 10 23:02:56 <Giselle> 6d6+3
  393. Aug 10 23:02:56 <CritSenpai> 6d6+3: 26 [6d6=4,5,2,5,4,3]
  394. Aug 10 23:03:02 <StarmanTheta> wwell damn
  395. Aug 10 23:03:23 <StarmanTheta> It skitters, but doesn't approach. It seems less likely to attack, but in no way does it seem like it likes you
  396. Aug 10 23:03:24 <Giselle> wait, that was +5
  397. Aug 10 23:03:50 <StarmanTheta> still the same result
  398. Aug 10 23:03:57 <StarmanTheta> Is that it?
  399. Aug 10 23:04:09 <Giselle> nope
  400. Aug 10 23:04:13 <Giselle> quick wit
  401. Aug 10 23:04:29 <Giselle> I do the same thing to dragonair
  402. Aug 10 23:04:44 <Giselle> 6d6+5
  403. Aug 10 23:04:44 <CritSenpai> 6d6+5: 34 [6d6=5,6,1,6,6,5]
  404. Aug 10 23:04:59 <StarmanTheta> It also appears less hostile, but not all that friendly
  405. Aug 10 23:05:27 <StarmanTheta> Do you have anything else?
  406. Aug 10 23:05:44 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvi4sOj7DIM
  407. Aug 10 23:05:45 <Giselle> nope
  408. Aug 10 23:05:47 <StarmanTheta> ok
  409. Aug 10 23:05:52 <StarmanTheta> now it's scyther's go
  410. Aug 10 23:06:01 <StarmanTheta> One screeches, lunging forward at Implanta
  411. Aug 10 23:06:21 <StarmanTheta> It strikes quick and hard. Wing attack!
  412. Aug 10 23:06:24 <StarmanTheta> 1d20 ac 2
  413. Aug 10 23:06:24 <CritSenpai> ac 2: 13 [1d20=13]
  414. Aug 10 23:06:36 <StarmanTheta> that'll probably hit.
  415. Aug 10 23:06:41 <Eric-> It does, but...
  416. Aug 10 23:06:44 <StarmanTheta> 3d8+10+20 flying phys
  417. Aug 10 23:06:44 <CritSenpai> flying phys: 43 [3d8=2,4,7]
  418. Aug 10 23:06:58 <StarmanTheta> But?
  419. Aug 10 23:07:03 * Eric- watches as Implanta giggles, the strikes merely rustling her cotton some. Windveiled!
  420. Aug 10 23:07:09 <Eric-> (flying immune)
  421. Aug 10 23:07:15 <StarmanTheta> oh yeah, that's right
  422. Aug 10 23:07:35 <StarmanTheta> The other flies over the water
  423. Aug 10 23:07:58 <StarmanTheta> It hustles to get there, but doesn't look so good. A tick of damage from poison!
  424. Aug 10 23:08:03 <StarmanTheta> Now, it's Eric-'s turn
  425. Aug 10 23:08:11 * Eric- is not pleased about this assault on his shep, splashing through the trees (probably getting a few scrapes, but whatever) at the Scyther before landing with a punishing thump! Aerial Ace!
  426. Aug 10 23:08:16 <Eric-> 1d20 this can't miss
  427. Aug 10 23:08:16 <CritSenpai> this can't miss: 15 [1d20=15]
  428. Aug 10 23:08:29 <Eric-> 2d6+10+23 flying phys
  429. Aug 10 23:08:29 <CritSenpai> flying phys: 38 [2d6=3,2]
  430. Aug 10 23:08:41 <Eric-> +5, didn't add flying booster
  431. Aug 10 23:08:43 <StarmanTheta> Hits and does soem damage! The scyther didn't like that
  432. Aug 10 23:08:47 <Eric-> Done!
  433. Aug 10 23:09:10 <StarmanTheta> Yikes, massive damage even!
  434. Aug 10 23:09:14 <StarmanTheta> Next, Pan!
  435. Aug 10 23:09:22 <StarmanTheta> Lindy, what does the little golem do?
  436. Aug 10 23:09:26 * Eric- glares. "No."
  437. Aug 10 23:10:25 <Lindy> Pan isn't having any of this nonsense, but he stays close to his trainer, punching out at air onlfy for his shadow's fist to fly out and punch the scyther's shadow in the face! Shadow Punch against Implanta's scyther!
  438. Aug 10 23:10:42 <Lindy> 1d20-1 can't miss
  439. Aug 10 23:10:42 <CritSenpai> can't miss: 1 [1d20=2]
  440. Aug 10 23:11:03 <Lindy> 3d8+10+10+24 and good thing too
  441. Aug 10 23:11:04 <CritSenpai> and good thing too: 61 [3d8=4,7,6]
  442. Aug 10 23:11:11 <Lindy> ghost type!
  443. Aug 10 23:11:21 <StarmanTheta> Wham! The fist flies out and floors the poor enraged bug
  444. Aug 10 23:11:47 <StarmanTheta> Now the serperior is up
  445. Aug 10 23:11:59 <StarmanTheta> It doesn't really like the water, but shoots out some vines to swing to the other tree
  446. Aug 10 23:12:59 <StarmanTheta> And kicks up a tornado of leaves, aimed at Giselle, Pan, Lindy, Eric, and Sonique. Leaf Tornado!
  447. Aug 10 23:13:07 <StarmanTheta> 1d20 ac 4
  448. Aug 10 23:13:07 <CritSenpai> ac 4: 5 [1d20=5]
  449. Aug 10 23:13:16 <StarmanTheta> But flubs it as the poison eats away at it
  450. Aug 10 23:13:24 <StarmanTheta> Lindy! You're up
  451. Aug 10 23:15:10 <Lindy> Lindy only steps forward to get a better view of the battlefield and raises her arms in silent encouragement of Pan. Brutal Training as orders!
  452. Aug 10 23:15:47 <StarmanTheta> Ok
  453. Aug 10 23:16:05 <StarmanTheta> Joltik are up!
  454. Aug 10 23:16:33 <StarmanTheta> hm
  455. Aug 10 23:16:46 <StarmanTheta> It doesn't really like you guys all that much, and wants to pu t distance between you
  456. Aug 10 23:16:59 <StarmanTheta> It shoots a spider web at
  457. Aug 10 23:17:01 <StarmanTheta> 1d3
  458. Aug 10 23:17:01 <CritSenpai> 1d3: 1 [1d3=1]
  459. Aug 10 23:17:04 <StarmanTheta> Pan
  460. Aug 10 23:17:08 <StarmanTheta> Before trying to skitter away
  461. Aug 10 23:17:32 <StarmanTheta> Pan is stuck and trapped! The joltik takes a tick of hp
  462. Aug 10 23:17:34 <StarmanTheta> other one
  463. Aug 10 23:17:35 <StarmanTheta> 1d20
  464. Aug 10 23:17:35 <CritSenpai> 1d20: 4 [1d20=4]
  465. Aug 10 23:17:37 * Amos has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  466. Aug 10 23:17:38 <StarmanTheta> keeps snoozing
  467. Aug 10 23:17:42 <StarmanTheta> Dragonair!
  468. Aug 10 23:18:25 <StarmanTheta> Hustles there, but eats some poison as well as it tries to flee from you guys
  469. Aug 10 23:18:28 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas!
  470. Aug 10 23:18:41 * Nicholas looks at Zoysia, the rhythm of battle already on his mind. "Zoysia, heat up. And get ready to retaliate." (Sunlight Within [Order, binds 2 AP] + Cheerleader [Excited])
  471. Aug 10 23:18:58 <Nicholas> That's it.
  472. Aug 10 23:19:19 <StarmanTheta> Alright, sounds good to me
  473. Aug 10 23:19:28 <StarmanTheta> Sonique is up! Giselle, what does Sonique do?
  474. Aug 10 23:20:25 * Amos (~Defamos@AD5643E1:FCD96134:F9F6308:IP) has joined #ClearOcean
  475. Aug 10 23:21:16 <Giselle> Sonique floats up defensively before it's trainer and glares down the Serperior.
  476. Aug 10 23:22:23 <Giselle> 1d20 Signal Beam
  477. Aug 10 23:22:24 <CritSenpai> Signal Beam: 8 [1d20=8]
  478. Aug 10 23:22:33 <StarmanTheta> ac?
  479. Aug 10 23:22:37 <Giselle> 2
  480. Aug 10 23:22:46 <StarmanTheta> hits then

  482. Aug 10 23:23:49 <Giselle> 2d8+31
  483. Aug 10 23:23:49 <CritSenpai> 2d8+31: 43 [2d8=5,7]
  484. Aug 10 23:24:23 <StarmanTheta> It squeals out at the hit! Didn't like it one bit
  485. Aug 10 23:24:38 <StarmanTheta> Now then, Zoysia!
  486. Aug 10 23:24:43 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas, what does Zosyia do?
  487. Aug 10 23:24:47 <Nicholas> 1d20 Zoysia uses Shadow Claw at the scyther as PASS (ac 2)
  488. Aug 10 23:24:47 <CritSenpai> Zoysia uses Shadow Claw at the scyther as PASS (ac 2): 3 [1d20=3]
  489. Aug 10 23:25:00 <StarmanTheta> Not gonna hit, but it at least passes
  490. Aug 10 23:25:06 <Nicholas> Aaaand that's a miss.
  491. Aug 10 23:25:09 <StarmanTheta> anythign else?
  492. Aug 10 23:25:30 <Nicholas> Nope.
  493. Aug 10 23:25:38 * Amos has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  494. Aug 10 23:25:55 <StarmanTheta> Top of the round! Whimisiprick--er, I mean, Implanta!
  495. Aug 10 23:26:03 * Eric- figures Giselle might be interested in the drage. "Hey, Implanta, get that thing to come back somehow!" Implanta promptly begins a cunning two-stage ruse. Charm vs Dragonair!
  496. Aug 10 23:26:03 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGJEA1_hIdI
  497. Aug 10 23:26:13 <Eric-> 1d20+1 vs ac 2 speed evasion, -2 ATK on hit and trickster proc
  498. Aug 10 23:26:13 <CritSenpai> vs ac 2 speed evasion, -2 ATK on hit and trickster proc: 6 [1d20=5]
  499. Aug 10 23:26:19 <Giselle> wait, which is lower for serperior? defense or special defense?
  500. Aug 10 23:26:25 <StarmanTheta> hits!
  501. Aug 10 23:26:42 * Eric- 's Trickster! Implanta promptly sticks her tongue out after looking so cute, making fun of the poor Dragonair!
  502. Aug 10 23:26:45 <StarmanTheta> You don't know
  503. Aug 10 23:26:55 <Eric-> 5d6+1 guile vs. focus, on hit enrages the dragonair for one round and it can't spend AP (lol)
  504. Aug 10 23:26:56 <CritSenpai> guile vs. focus, on hit enrages the dragonair for one round and it can't spend AP (lol): 20 [5d6=1,3,6,4,5]
  505. Aug 10 23:27:08 <StarmanTheta> I"m not even gonna bother rolling that
  506. Aug 10 23:27:22 <Eric-> "Well, I guess it making it angry works too."
  507. Aug 10 23:27:23 <StarmanTheta> The dragonair beats its tail against the ground angrily
  508. Aug 10 23:27:25 <Eric-> Done!
  509. Aug 10 23:27:27 <Giselle> its an ability of Sonique's

  516. Aug 10 23:31:26 <StarmanTheta> Was that it?
  517. Aug 10 23:32:01 * Giselle steps ever closer to the dragonair, trying to get on it's good side. "It's alright. I won't hurt you. Did the water make you sick? We have medicine for that."
  518. Aug 10 23:32:16 <Giselle> improving disposition again
  519. Aug 10 23:32:20 <Giselle> if I may
  520. Aug 10 23:32:35 <StarmanTheta> It might be hard, what with it being attacked and taunted
  521. Aug 10 23:32:36 <StarmanTheta> just saying
  522. Aug 10 23:33:45 <Giselle> Want me to use something a bit stronger then?
  523. Aug 10 23:34:03 <StarmanTheta> probably
  524. Aug 10 23:35:07 <StarmanTheta> But please do something
  525. Aug 10 23:35:25 <Giselle> then I'll add a little something to it as well

  537. Aug 10 23:37:33 <StarmanTheta> That'll hit, definitely
  538. Aug 10 23:37:47 <StarmanTheta> I forget what all the crit stuff does, but we'll go onto Scyther while you type that up
  539. Aug 10 23:38:09 <StarmanTheta> Scyther flies in at Zoysia and tries to reture the favor with a wing attack
  540. Aug 10 23:38:11 <StarmanTheta> 1d20 ac 2
  541. Aug 10 23:38:11 <CritSenpai> ac 2: 15 [1d20=15]

  545. Aug 10 23:38:25 <StarmanTheta> but it eats some damage from poison!
  546. Aug 10 23:38:26 <Giselle> Vulnerable and Dragonair loses a tick of health
  547. Aug 10 23:38:33 <StarmanTheta> Eric-, you're up!
  548. Aug 10 23:38:36 * Eric- uses Bounce as a Full Action and slams into the Scyther!
  549. Aug 10 23:38:45 <Eric-> 1d20 vs ac 4 flying phys
  550. Aug 10 23:38:46 <CritSenpai> vs ac 4 flying phys: 16 [1d20=16]

  553. Aug 10 23:39:09 <Eric-> Done!
  554. Aug 10 23:39:20 <StarmanTheta> Yeah, that scyther's stragiht bodied
  555. Aug 10 23:39:43 <Nicholas> (Zoysia uses the Excited condition for DR5, so 27 damage total due to weakness)
  556. Aug 10 23:39:43 <StarmanTheta> actually he's still up! Barely.
  557. Aug 10 23:40:08 <StarmanTheta> Pan!
  558. Aug 10 23:40:13 <StarmanTheta> Lindy, what does Pan do?
  559. Aug 10 23:40:37 * StarmanTheta has changed the topic to: Channel for Where Does This Ocean Go? minicampaign. | Mondays at 8PM EST GMT-5 | http://paradoxhaze.wikidot.com/where-does-this-ocean-go | Implanta 30, Giselle 21, Eric, Pan, Serperior 20, Lindy 19, Joltik 17, Dragoniar 14, Scyther 13, Nicholas 11, Sonique 9, Zoysia 6
  560. Aug 10 23:41:06 <Lindy> Can Pan wait to see what the Serperior does?
  561. Aug 10 23:41:18 <StarmanTheta> Sure
  562. Aug 10 23:41:20 <StarmanTheta> Pan can go on delay
  563. Aug 10 23:41:22 <Lindy> He'll do so then
  564. Aug 10 23:41:26 <StarmanTheta> Serperior
  565. Aug 10 23:42:15 <StarmanTheta> Tries to regain some hp. Mega drain vs Sonique!

  569. Aug 10 23:42:38 <CritSenpai> special grass: 36 [2d6=6,6]
  570. Aug 10 23:42:47 <StarmanTheta> heals half of the damage, and tries to slither away
  571. Aug 10 23:43:06 <StarmanTheta> Past the little girl
  572. Aug 10 23:43:16 <StarmanTheta> How much damage does sonique take, Giselle?
  573. Aug 10 23:43:21 <StarmanTheta> while we figure that out, Lindy!
  574. Aug 10 23:43:40 <Giselle> 11
  575. Aug 10 23:44:10 <StarmanTheta> What will you do? Does Pan come out of delay?
  576. Aug 10 23:44:48 <Lindy> Now that Seperior has moved as I was hoping, Pan comes out of delay and trots towards the big snake, right through the trapping threads, to smack it with a Thunder Punch (and hope that doesn't knock it straight out)!
  577. Aug 10 23:45:12 <Lindy> 1d20-1 vs AC 2+evasion
  578. Aug 10 23:45:12 <CritSenpai> vs AC 2+evasion: 6 [1d20=7]
  579. Aug 10 23:45:32 <StarmanTheta> That...misses!
  580. Aug 10 23:45:37 <StarmanTheta> The Snake is just too fast for him!
  581. Aug 10 23:45:48 <StarmanTheta> But it isn't looking so hot
  582. Aug 10 23:46:08 <Lindy> Lindy moves back from the fray and renews her Brutal Training.
  583. Aug 10 23:46:24 <StarmanTheta> kk
  584. Aug 10 23:46:29 <StarmanTheta> Joltik!
  585. Aug 10 23:46:49 <Giselle> Well its right next to me
  586. Aug 10 23:47:18 <StarmanTheta> Joltik wants to keep running. It shoots a htunder wave at

  588. Aug 10 23:47:19 <CritSenpai> 1d3: 3 [1d3=3]
  589. Aug 10 23:47:27 <StarmanTheta> Zosyia, paralyzing it!
  590. Aug 10 23:47:34 <StarmanTheta> before skittering away, but eating some poison damage
  591. Aug 10 23:47:36 <StarmanTheta> other one

  599. Aug 10 23:47:54 <StarmanTheta> keeps snoozing, takes another tick of damage
  600. Aug 10 23:48:17 <StarmanTheta> Nicholas!
  601. Aug 10 23:49:06 <Nicholas> Zoysia uses the digestion Lum Berry, curing itself from paralysis. She then activates Harvest, regaining the digestion buff (as in sunligght due to Sunlight Withinorder)
  602. Aug 10 23:49:17 <Nicholas> That was between turns.
  603. Aug 10 23:49:30 * Nicholas will delay to after Zoysia.
  604. Aug 10 23:49:36 <StarmanTheta> ok

  607. Aug 10 23:50:37 <Giselle> Sonique uses swift
  608. Aug 10 23:53:04 <Giselle> Sonique instead uses Conversion2
  609. Aug 10 23:53:17 <StarmanTheta> ok
  610. Aug 10 23:53:38 <StarmanTheta> Anything else? If not, Zoysia is up

  614. Aug 10 23:54:53 <StarmanTheta> what will you do
  615. Aug 10 23:54:55 <Nicholas> Zoysia disengages and uses Confuse Ray on the Serperior.
  616. Aug 10 23:54:58 <Giselle> And tries to look intimidating
  617. Aug 10 23:55:04 <Nicholas> 1d20 Confuse Ray (ac 2)
  618. Aug 10 23:55:04 <CritSenpai> Confuse Ray (ac 2): 5 [1d20=5]
  619. Aug 10 23:55:15 <StarmanTheta> The ray doesn't take effect, sadly
  620. Aug 10 23:55:33 <Nicholas> Yeah, I figured.
  621. Aug 10 23:55:35 <Nicholas> That's ok.

  735. Aug 11 00:13:31 <Eric-> "It only took like, 5 tries."
  736. Aug 11 00:13:34 <StarmanTheta> Sonique is up!
  737. Aug 11 00:14:07 * StarmanTheta has changed the topic to: Channel for Where Does This Ocean Go? minicampaign. | Mondays at 8PM EST GMT-5 | http://paradoxhaze.wikidot.com/where-does-this-ocean-go | Implanta 30, Giselle 21, Eric, Pan 20 Lindy 19, Joltik 17, Dragoniar 14, Scyther 13, Nicholas 11, Sonique 9, Zoysia 6
  738. Aug 11 00:14:12 <Giselle> delay
  739. Aug 11 00:14:21 <StarmanTheta> Zoysia!
  740. Aug 11 00:14:46 <Nicholas> Is that Scytyher dead?
  741. Aug 11 00:15:00 <Eric-> It would have fainted from Poison Damage, yeah.
  742. Aug 11 00:15:11 <StarmanTheta> It didn't take a standard action
  743. Aug 11 00:15:15 <StarmanTheta> so it didn't take poison damage
  744. Aug 11 00:15:17 <StarmanTheta> it did nothing on its turn
  745. Aug 11 00:15:20 <Eric-> Oh, I see.
  746. Aug 11 00:15:46 <Nicholas> Zoysia uses Ingrain.
  747. Aug 11 00:15:52 <StarmanTheta> Works for me!
  748. Aug 11 00:16:00 <StarmanTheta> Top of the round, Implanta
  749. Aug 11 00:16:16 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWHLgEEtqmg
  750. Aug 11 00:16:24 <Eric-> Implanta's going to try and soften up the Joltik (which darn, it woke up) with Dazzling Gleam!
  751. Aug 11 00:16:26 <Eric-> 1d20+1 vs ac 2
  752. Aug 11 00:16:26 <CritSenpai> vs ac 2: 14 [1d20=13]
  753. Aug 11 00:16:29 <StarmanTheta> hits!
  754. Aug 11 00:16:34 <Eric-> 3d8+10+20 fairy dmg
  755. Aug 11 00:16:35 <CritSenpai> fairy dmg: 48 [3d8=5,7,6]
  756. Aug 11 00:16:54 <StarmanTheta> does a fair amount of damage. Massive damage, even
  757. Aug 11 00:17:06 <StarmanTheta> Anything else?
  758. Aug 11 00:17:09 <Eric-> That's it.
  759. Aug 11 00:17:16 <StarmanTheta> Giselle!
  760. Aug 11 00:17:25 * Giselle walks over to dragonair
  761. Aug 11 00:17:45 * Giselle pokes it with a greatball
  762. Aug 11 00:18:23 <StarmanTheta> I...think you still have to roll this
  763. Aug 11 00:18:35 <Eric-> You still have to meet the AC sadly
  764. Aug 11 00:18:39 <Giselle> 1d20
  765. Aug 11 00:18:40 <CritSenpai> 1d20: 7 [1d20=7]
  766. Aug 11 00:18:42 <Eric-> whew
  767. Aug 11 00:18:58 <Giselle> 1d100-25
  768. Aug 11 00:18:58 <CritSenpai> 1d100-25: 10 [1d100=35]
  769. Aug 11 00:19:06 <StarmanTheta> The dragonair is easily sucked in
  770. Aug 11 00:19:11 <StarmanTheta> It doesn't even wiggle. The ball just clicks
  771. Aug 11 00:19:24 <StarmanTheta> Eric!
  772. Aug 11 00:19:34 * Eric- splashes and tosses a ball at the Joltik as he flies!
  773. Aug 11 00:19:39 <Eric-> 1d20 vs ac 6 speed eva
  774. Aug 11 00:19:39 <CritSenpai> vs ac 6 speed eva: 18 [1d20=18]
  775. Aug 11 00:19:43 <StarmanTheta> hits
  776. Aug 11 00:19:46 <Eric-> 1d100-15
  777. Aug 11 00:19:46 <CritSenpai> 1d100-15: 56 [1d100=71]
  778. Aug 11 00:20:18 <StarmanTheta> The joltik's sucked in, and the ball shakes violently
  779. Aug 11 00:20:25 <StarmanTheta> but, after a few tense moments, it also clicks
  780. Aug 11 00:20:42 <StarmanTheta> So, all that's left is the scyther that can't dare move
  781. Aug 11 00:20:45 <StarmanTheta> what will you do with it?
  782. Aug 11 00:21:32 <Lindy> Knowing she or Nick of a pokémon center will do it some good, Lindy lobs another great ball at it for good measure.
  783. Aug 11 00:21:40 <Lindy> 1d20 senpai pls
  784. Aug 11 00:21:40 <CritSenpai> senpai pls: 2 [1d20=2]
  785. Aug 11 00:21:56 <StarmanTheta> sheesh
  786. Aug 11 00:22:03 <Lindy> naturally
  787. Aug 11 00:22:22 * Eric- gives it a go, why not. Poor thing deserves some medical attention.
  788. Aug 11 00:22:24 <Eric-> 1d20 vs ac 6
  789. Aug 11 00:22:24 <CritSenpai> vs ac 6: 7 [1d20=7]
  790. Aug 11 00:22:38 <StarmanTheta> would you like to spend an ap
  791. Aug 11 00:22:43 <Eric-> Gladly, make that 9.
  792. Aug 11 00:23:07 <Eric-> 1d100-15 cap roll
  793. Aug 11 00:23:08 <CritSenpai> cap roll: 36 [1d100=51]
  794. Aug 11 00:23:14 <StarmanTheta> Bweeop!
  795. Aug 11 00:23:18 <StarmanTheta> sucked in and click!
  796. Aug 11 00:23:21 <StarmanTheta> scyther is caught
  797. Aug 11 00:23:23 <StarmanTheta> and with that
  798. Aug 11 00:23:27 <StarmanTheta> all pokemon here are taken care of!
  799. Aug 11 00:24:04 <StarmanTheta> All that is left is the sound of the flowing water, and the acrid stench associated with it
  800. Aug 11 00:24:13 * Eric- whistles. "Hey, good job, everyone! I think we'll be a good team." Implanta did a nice job and is a surprisingly good leaf-flute player, so he goes to pet her for a job well done before getting to the work of taking samples.
  801. Aug 11 00:24:17 * Nicholas goes towards the fainted Scyther to see if it's in any need of serious medical attention. If not, he will just patch it up and leave it to rest.
  802. Aug 11 00:24:48 <StarmanTheta> Implanta, takes the pats like nothin' happened. Ees what she does.
  803. Aug 11 00:24:58 <Giselle> "Sonique managed to become steel type, so we can have him explore the stream."
  804. Aug 11 00:25:02 <Eric-> And that's why she's the best.
  805. Aug 11 00:25:07 <StarmanTheta> It doesn't look like it was poisoned like the rest. A simple patch up should leave it ok
  806. Aug 11 00:25:48 <Eric-> "Oh, that's a solid point... and yup, that Ocean guy was right, no apparent poison types or anything. How absolutely strange."
  807. Aug 11 00:26:21 <Lindy> Lindy leaves a sigh with that done with and picks up the balls she threw before moving nearer to the stream and squatting down next to it. "Hm."
  808. Aug 11 00:26:47 <Giselle> "Nicholos, can you hand me that patch?"
  809. Aug 11 00:27:01 * Nicholas gladly patches the poor bug. "I'm sorry for hurting you, little guy. You'll be better soon."
  810. Aug 11 00:27:18 <Lindy> "If he can dive, we can get samples nearer the bed, too. That would be good."
  811. Aug 11 00:27:37 <Nicholas> "Is anyone in need of healing?"
  812. Aug 11 00:27:51 * Tupac has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  813. Aug 11 00:27:52 <Lindy> "Pan, please."
  814. Aug 11 00:27:59 * Giselle lets out dragonair
  815. Aug 11 00:28:01 <StarmanTheta> Pan raises a hand
  816. Aug 11 00:28:18 <StarmanTheta> The dragonair flops on the ground. It still is looking pretty bad
  817. Aug 11 00:28:21 <Giselle> "Sonique got a little hurt too."
  818. Aug 11 00:28:44 <Lindy> She pats his head. Excellent job with that shadow punch.
  819. Aug 11 00:28:54 * Eric- doesn't seem especially phased, beating up pokemon is part of his job description. "Yeah, the poor dragon's probably not feeling too hot either." He takes a look at the sample kits as he rests on the edge of the water.
  820. Aug 11 00:29:23 <StarmanTheta> The sun is hanging a bit lower in the sky. You imagine that it'll get dark out if you don't start heading back soon
  821. Aug 11 00:29:35 <StarmanTheta> Pan flexes!
  822. Aug 11 00:29:54 * Nicholas approaches Pan and, with a quick analysis, sees nothign too serious. He uses a Super Potion Patch, though. (Heals 35)
  823. Aug 11 00:29:55 <Giselle> "Sonique, do you think you can look into the water a bit, real quick?"
  824. Aug 11 00:30:24 * Eric- starts collecting samples. Santa Carracosta at night sounded very fun~
  825. Aug 11 00:30:29 * Lindy starts getting out the provided packages and gathering the water samples the professor asked for.
  826. Aug 11 00:30:58 <StarmanTheta> survival or tech edu, those collecting samples
  827. Aug 11 00:30:58 <Nicholas> "Let me help you with the samples."
  828. Aug 11 00:31:09 <Nicholas> 6d6+2 Survival
  829. Aug 11 00:31:09 <CritSenpai> Survival: 17 [6d6=2,2,1,6,2,2]
  830. Aug 11 00:31:10 <Giselle> 4d6+2 tech
  831. Aug 11 00:31:10 <CritSenpai> tech: 15 [4d6=5,6,1,1]
  832. Aug 11 00:31:24 <Eric-> 6d6+2 survival
  833. Aug 11 00:31:24 <CritSenpai> survival: 15 [6d6=2,4,1,2,3,1]
  834. Aug 11 00:31:31 <Eric-> 6d6+4 wow, no! skill monkey
  835. Aug 11 00:31:31 <CritSenpai> wow, no! skill monkey: 26 [6d6=2,6,5,6,1,2]
  836. Aug 11 00:31:45 * Tupac (~weed@Rizon-1A5D5BED.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #ClearOcean
  837. Aug 11 00:32:22 <StarmanTheta> Giselle and Nicholas manage to get some cautious samples. Eric manages, by being a bit bolder, to get some samples closer to the soil. Thankfully the gloves protect him from the water's effects
  838. Aug 11 00:32:29 <StarmanTheta> With the samples in tow, your mission is fulfilled
  839. Aug 11 00:32:55 <Giselle> Does Sonique find anything, though?
  840. Aug 11 00:33:19 <StarmanTheta> He can give me a perception check
  841. Aug 11 00:33:48 <Giselle> 4d6+2
  842. Aug 11 00:33:49 <CritSenpai> 4d6+2: 13 [4d6=4,1,1,5]
  843. Aug 11 00:34:19 <StarmanTheta> Sonique spots something intteresting. It pulls up what looks like a busted canister
  844. Aug 11 00:34:31 <StarmanTheta> Though it's impossible to say what exactly it is.
  845. Aug 11 00:34:43 <StarmanTheta> But you imagine it's not supposed to be here.
  846. Aug 11 00:34:43 * Giselle puts on gloves again and inspects it
  847. Aug 11 00:34:54 <StarmanTheta> Tech edu reveals what it might be
  848. Aug 11 00:35:13 <Giselle> 4d6+2 tech
  849. Aug 11 00:35:13 <CritSenpai> tech: 21 [4d6=4,5,4,6]
  850. Aug 11 00:35:15 <StarmanTheta> anyone can roll
  851. Aug 11 00:35:27 <Lindy> Lindy rests her chin on the top of Giselle's head to look at it too (and assist her with a +3 from Instruction).
  852. Aug 11 00:35:38 * Eric- decides to leave this to Giselle. He's not super good with tech having spent most of his youth outdoors.
  853. Aug 11 00:35:39 <StarmanTheta> Giselle, you realize it's something akin to pester balls, except built to house more concentrated chemicals.
  854. Aug 11 00:35:39 <Giselle> 24
  855. Aug 11 00:35:52 * Nicholas starts looking for a board-like piece of wood around. "Guys, I think we should put up some kind of sign here. You know, in case any other people come around and decide to go swimming..."
  856. Aug 11 00:36:01 <StarmanTheta> In any case
  857. Aug 11 00:36:03 <StarmanTheta> it's getting late
  858. Aug 11 00:36:15 <StarmanTheta> So I"m going to say, you guys can make your sign or what have you then decide to head back
  859. Aug 11 00:36:20 <Giselle> "Agreed..."
  860. Aug 11 00:36:33 <Eric-> "That's a solid plan. Let's head back afterwards, though, this stench is getting to me."
  861. Aug 11 00:36:55 <StarmanTheta> Your trip was a success, but a bit jarring from the idyllic vacation you planned. Why are these waters poisoned? Who would even want to do such a thing? So many questions.
  862. Aug 11 00:37:00 <StarmanTheta> But for now, let's wrap things up
  863. Aug 11 00:37:21 <StarmanTheta> you all gain one tl, as well as 250 pokemon exp (pokemon level cap 32)
  864. Aug 11 00:37:24 <Eric-> Also, where DOES this ocean go?
  865. Aug 11 00:37:29 <Eric-> these are the mysteries
  866. Aug 11 00:37:34 <StarmanTheta> As for pokemon
  867. Aug 11 00:37:41 <Nicholas> "Great! Nice work, everybody. We did good, didn't we?" Nicholas says, on the way back.
  868. Aug 11 00:38:02 * Eric- grins. "Yupyup! Like I said, we've got a good thing going here."
  869. Aug 11 00:38:17 <StarmanTheta> Scyther is level 30, proud nature, female. It has technician and vanguard
  870. Aug 11 00:38:23 <Giselle> "All of those pokemon were really scared though
  871. Aug 11 00:38:51 <Eric-> "It seems the cause of this may have been humans. That could be why they're not so trusting."
  872. Aug 11 00:38:55 <StarmanTheta> Serperior is modest nature, female, it has Regal Challenge and Instinct
  873. Aug 11 00:39:03 <Eric-> "Wonder why you'd poison a seemingly-random stream out in nowhere, though."
  874. Aug 11 00:39:19 <Giselle> "Seemingly is the key word here."
  875. Aug 11 00:39:28 <Nicholas> "Yeah, but think about it. We have some of them, now. Who knows what they might know about the deeper parts of the island?"
  876. Aug 11 00:39:30 <Lindy> "If it's like a pester ball but bigger, same reason you'd use a pester ball?"
  877. Aug 11 00:39:40 <StarmanTheta> Joltiks are Timid nature, male, they both have compound eyes and unnerve
  878. Aug 11 00:39:47 <Giselle> "I think we are not the only ones looking for this mysterious blue pokemon."
  879. Aug 11 00:40:24 <StarmanTheta> and dragonair is brave nature, male, has Shed Skin and Gentle Vibe
  880. Aug 11 00:40:27 <StarmanTheta> all are level 30
  881. Aug 11 00:40:28 <Eric-> "It wouldn't surprise me. It's a high-profile case, after all."
