  1. Dec 06 12:02:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> Setting out for the sea! After a good while in Conch, the boat's ready to go and you're all about ready to shove off! Lani's got the engines ready to go. The sky's overcast, but not depressing.
  2. Dec 06 12:05:26 * Knox is ready to Set Sail and Explore.
  3. Dec 06 12:07:11 <Ululane> Melanie looks a little morose as she leans on the railing at the edge of the deck, staring out to see.
  4. Dec 06 12:08:05 <Knox> Knox, on the other hand, is out on deck as well, running Nemesis and Tenebrae through combat drills against each other.
  5. Dec 06 12:08:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> And it's not long before you're setting out! With a bit of research, you were able to find the coordinates where this thing APPROXIMATELY is, so Lani starts heading off to that sort of area. It's...by Ark, of course, but out in the open sea
  6. Dec 06 12:08:54 <Knox> Probably a bit away from Melanie, so as not to disturb her seeing.
  7. Dec 06 12:11:45 * Mackenzie is out on deck, pleasant and buzzing about. He has got a bit more seafarer in him nowadays, you know.
  8. Dec 06 12:13:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> It takes most of the day to get out over there, so by the time you're there it's starting to get dark. Lani stalls the boat's engine and gets out. "This should be the place, I'd be careful, kiddies. Sea can be awful scary at night."
  9. Dec 06 12:14:30 <Ululane> "...'kiddies.'"
  10. Dec 06 12:14:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> He then hacks and coughs a bit, eventually calming down and smacking his chest about where his lungs are. "Havin' a bit trouble breathin' today, I'm gonna' have to turn in." HACK HACK COUGH
  11. Dec 06 12:16:53 <Ululane> As an asthma kid, Melanie isn't inclined to notice anything wrong with that.
  12. Dec 06 12:17:26 * Mackenzie smiles and waves him off. "Take care of yourself, old man!"
  13. Dec 06 12:18:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...ah, thanks Macky. I'll try and sleep 'er off."
  14. Dec 06 12:20:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> He walks off to his cabin, slowly, purposefully, leaving you three out on deck. To the water?
  15. Dec 06 12:20:22 <Knox> "Try not to over-do it, Captain." he remarks, returns the two pokemon and quickly goes to switch out his team. He doesn't have any reason to expect pockets of air, so he brings Lucero, Oscilla, Charybdis, Incognito, and... let's say Avarice.
  16. Dec 06 12:22:28 <Knox> With that. he suits up and gets ready to dive.
  17. Dec 06 12:24:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> SUIT UP! The suits are TIGHT but comfortable, like you're wearing nothing at all and getting the helmet set up wtih the rebreather for it isn't hard. Lecia included some special waterproofed storage bags to take with you, so getting all your stuff there wtih you isn't a bit problem! SPLASH.
  18. Dec 06 12:24:22 <Ululane> Melanie changes as well...in plain-view actually, unusual. Once she's fully suited up, she plays with the color-selection to change it to green. Cuz...y'know...she then glances around to make sure no one else steals her color.
  19. Dec 06 12:24:48 <Knox> Knox has changed his to a dark navy blue, better to blend in at the ocean depths.
  20. Dec 06 12:25:28 * Mackenzie has chosen a delightful deep purple
  21. Dec 06 12:25:37 * Knox jumps in!
  22. Dec 06 12:25:46 * Knox has also equipped his FLIPPERS for once.
  23. Dec 06 12:26:41 <Ululane> Melanie dives into the water, releasing Aidos to easily grab hold of for super swimmy speed.
  24. Dec 06 12:27:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> You know it's...quite a distance down. It's hard to see much here, thankfully the helmets have built in flashlights for you to see. It's gonna' be quite a dive. The suits are meant to help adjust with compression so you don't get sick or hurt by the pressure down there, so that's not much of a concern. You know if you want to take the suits OFF, you're gonna' have to wait a little
  25. Dec 06 12:27:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> bit for it to give you a chance to adjust to the pressure out there...whatever the case. All of you roll me perception
  26. Dec 06 12:28:24 <Knox> 2d6
  27. Dec 06 12:28:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh right
  28. Dec 06 12:28:37 * PsychoRoll (~PsychoRol@Rizon-C3D8A9DA.cl.ri.cox.net) has joined
  29. Dec 06 12:28:45 <Ululane> 4d6+4 Eyeballs
  30. Dec 06 12:28:46 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, Eyeballs: 14 [4d6=3,2,4,1]
  31. Dec 06 12:28:48 <Knox> 2d6
  32. Dec 06 12:28:49 <PsychoRoll> Knox, 2d6: 6 [2d6=2,4]
  33. Dec 06 12:28:56 * Mackenzie somehow is privy to Melons's idea, and uses Clawdia for increased speed as well!
  34. Dec 06 12:29:00 <Mackenzie> 2d6+1
  35. Dec 06 12:29:00 <PsychoRoll> Mackenzie, 2d6+1: 7 [2d6=4,2]
  36. Dec 06 12:30:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> You all manage to not lose sight of each other in the pitch darkness of the sea. Melanie is noticing a large, raised, kind of dome-shaped rock structure, its edges look a bit smooth for something natural
  37. Dec 06 12:30:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's down below you a decent distance, off to the side a little
  38. Dec 06 12:32:44 <Ululane> Melanie has Aidos blow a stream of bubbles toward it to point it out to the others and heads in for a closer look.
  39. Dec 06 12:33:21 * Knox follows her lead and descends!
  40. Dec 06 12:36:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's....huge. The stone itself seems relatively simple, not some kind of composite man-made sort but a more simple shaped granite, incredibly sturdy. There's occasional cracks in the dome, but it seems to be doing pretty well for itself. A good way away from where you started looking at it, there's finally some holes and bigger cracks, the sort you might be able to fit in through.
  41. Dec 06 12:37:10 * Knox swims towards that.
  42. Dec 06 12:38:08 * Ululane lets him take point; better he dies in the event of a trap or something than. N-Not that she wants him to die...
  43. Dec 06 12:38:21 <Ululane> -than
  44. Dec 06 12:38:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's at an edge of the whole structure, a fairly humansized hole on the dome. There's a bit of a current pulling towards it, getting stronger as you get closer, but the pokemon Mack and Mel are making use of can outswim it. NOt necessarily Knox, though...thankfully he's not taking point.
  45. Dec 06 12:40:11 <Ululane> (...but...he...is?)
  46. Dec 06 12:43:16 * Knox -is- taking point, but with his flippers he has Swim 6
  47. Dec 06 12:44:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Oh I misread it
  48. Dec 06 12:44:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> HURRR
  49. Dec 06 12:44:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> AHEM
  50. Dec 06 12:48:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox takes point, thankfully his flippers give him enough speed to not be overwhelmed by the current. The current sucks him in (maybe a bit slower if he gives it a bit of resistance) and then spits him into the hole, which opens into a waterfall that...goes into a slide, sliding out into a big area with AIR, where the water is being taken into a drain for some kind of drainage
  51. Dec 06 12:48:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> system...thankfully Knox is big enough not to fall through the grate. Mack and Melanie follow shortly...you're in a CITY, with AIR, although it's still a different pressure from that of your suits so you can't take it off right away...there's a bunch of glowy moss on top of the ceiling, giving a faint, eerie greenish light over the place. There are buildings about you, all built
  52. Dec 06 12:48:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> of the same sort of granite. It's definitely a city...but most of the buildings are pretty worn down. A Crawdaunt is perched facing the grate, seems he's out to catch anything that gets sucked in, and he click clacks his pincers at Knox menacingly
  53. Dec 06 12:51:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> the floor seems to be more of a bluish tile
  54. Dec 06 12:52:12 * Knox glares at the Crawdaunt through his visor.
  55. Dec 06 12:52:18 <Knox> 5d6+5 Intimidate
  56. Dec 06 12:52:18 <PsychoRoll> Knox, Intimidate: 17 [5d6=2,1,2,5,2]
  57. Dec 06 12:53:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> CLACK CLACK CLACK! It backs up a few steps, and it seems to slow down a little, but it's continuing to do its clacking on principle
  58. Dec 06 12:53:47 * Knox then looks around this place, a bit mystified, before looking back up the damn waterfall and slide he rode in on.
  59. Dec 06 12:54:02 <Ululane> (Is our ability to speak hampered at all?)
  60. Dec 06 12:54:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> (helmets have radios. Might be hard to issue orders to your pokes, but you can talk to each other fine)
  61. Dec 06 12:54:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> The suit's HUD seems to indicate that it'll be able to acclimate you to the pressure in here in about 20 minutes
  62. Dec 06 12:55:21 <Knox> He reaches up to his rebreather, flipping the radio on, and subvocalizes. "Hell of a drop."
  63. Dec 06 12:55:55 <Knox> er, maybe subvocalize isn't the right word.
  64. Dec 06 12:55:58 <Knox> You know wh at I mean.
  65. Dec 06 12:56:17 <Ululane> "...do we have to punch the crusty shin?"
  66. Dec 06 12:56:57 <Mackenzie> Poor Clawdia being of useful speed sure didn't last long. "...Huh. I was honestly expecting something that was... In repair, instead of actual ancient ruins."
  67. Dec 06 12:57:31 <Knox> "I was expecting the place to be flooded, myself."
  68. Dec 06 12:57:43 <Knox> "How would it have been in repair, exactly?"
  69. Dec 06 12:58:06 * Knox moves off of the grate carefully, walking awkwardly in his flippers. He'll change out of them when his suit repressurizes.
  70. Dec 06 12:58:28 <Mackenzie> "I was expecting some sort of underwater base."
  71. Dec 06 12:58:45 <Ululane> "...did you not do any research on the place at all?"
  72. Dec 06 12:59:18 <Mackenzie> "I had... stuff to do!"
  73. Dec 06 12:59:35 <Knox> "Well, what did -you- find out?" he asks Mel.
  74. Dec 06 12:59:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> The crawdaunt is STILL clacking at Knox, although its backed off even more
  75. Dec 06 13:00:13 <Ululane> "It's presumably an old section of Ark, back when Ark was speculated to be a sprawling kingdom. Holy city and all that, built for the gods."
  76. Dec 06 13:00:16 <Knox> "This thing thinks I'm food or something still."
  77. Dec 06 13:01:14 <Ululane> ...Melanie faces the Crawdaunt and pinches the air. It doesn't completely look like she's mocking it.
  78. Dec 06 13:01:19 <Mackenzie> "Unless it belongs to some sort of underwater hermit to whom it's issuing a warning."
  79. Dec 06 13:01:31 <Knox> He squints at the thing even more, before letting out Oscilla, motions to get her attention, then taps his head. <Can you tell this thing if it tries to make snacks of us, it's going to have a very bad day?>
  80. Dec 06 13:03:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> <Just a sec...> She moves over to it and stares at it, and then it runs off. <He was pretty terrified of you, but was still clacking because he thought it might scare you off. What a silly thing~>
  81. Dec 06 13:04:19 * Ululane tries the grate to see if it will swing open.
  82. Dec 06 13:04:23 <Knox> <Adorable.> his mental tone is somewhat sarcastic. "It was just trying to scare us off, apparently."
  83. Dec 06 13:06:29 <Knox> Still, it's good to know it wasn't something more important. Knox gets off this grate before Mel opens it out from under them.
  84. Dec 06 13:06:50 <Knox> "...What do you expect to find if you get that thing open, exactly? Shouldn't we move on to the city?"
  85. Dec 06 13:07:12 <Ululane> (The Crawdaunt was facing it, so I assume it was on the other side?)
  86. Dec 06 13:07:27 <Knox> (It was a platform we were deposited on top of)
  87. Dec 06 13:07:38 <Knox> (The crawdaunt was fishing for things coming through and getting caught on the grate)
  88. Dec 06 13:07:44 <Knox> (The water's going into the city sewers)
  89. Dec 06 13:07:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> The grate is on the ground of the place, looking down, it seems to be leading to a sewage system of some sort.
  90. Dec 06 13:07:53 <Ululane> (Ah, got it)
  91. Dec 06 13:07:58 <Ululane> "...secret passages?"
  92. Dec 06 13:08:47 <Knox> "...I don't know if I want to see the sort of secret passages that run by ancient sewage, myself." he muses, before waddling on.
  93. Dec 06 13:09:25 <Ululane> "...you realize with the amount of time that would have passed, it'd be likely no less disgusting than anywhere else in the c- oh whatever." Grumpy Mel follows.
  94. Dec 06 13:11:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> There is plenty of city around you. The district you're in seems to be really worn down, there are several segments of it that are submerged and are draining out to further in the sewers. Seems like this place's drainage system is good enough that its managed to keep it from being completely submerged, although, judging by the rocky segments straddling the edges of the dome, there
  95. Dec 06 13:11:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> was definitely some luck involved in making the city MOSTLY water tight
  96. Dec 06 13:13:43 <Knox> "Hopefully there's an easy way -out- of this place because we ain't going out the same way we got in."
  97. Dec 06 13:14:05 <Knox> "It's amazing this place is even this stable."
  98. Dec 06 13:14:15 <Ululane> "...sewers probably lead out."
  99. Dec 06 13:14:53 * Knox looks out for landmarks.
  100. Dec 06 13:17:19 <Knox> "Well, we can check when the time comes, I suppose."
  101. Dec 06 13:18:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> About you, in some of the submerged sections, are Crawdaunts clacking at you to STAY OUT OF THEIR SHIT as you pass their pools, and Sharpedo poking their heads out of the water, watching patiently, their eyes gleaming. There's one particularly big pool that seems to have some kind of amphitheater at the bottom of it, which is the most heavily populated with Sharpedo and Crawdaunt.
  102. Dec 06 13:18:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a district on one side which is populated mostly by Barbaracles and Binacles, which mostly seem to be relaxing, watching you carefully as you go by. This district seems to have larger buildings that look important, possibly government functions. On the other side is a quiet, seemingly completely abandoned district full of small ruined houses and residential buildings, with
  103. Dec 06 13:18:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> a single large building, the shape suggestive of a modern school, a bit far into it. And then in the middle, there's a large shrine, which has its top touching the top of the dome and...there's some rocks on top of it, from the look of it, there was a hole there to let the sun in, but it got clogged up with rocks and detritus to plug it up. The shrine is definitely the biggest
  104. Dec 06 13:18:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> building in the city, and seems to have been intended to be the center of everything.
  105. Dec 06 13:20:08 <Knox> "How long ago did this place sink, again?"
  106. Dec 06 13:20:54 <Ululane> "Exact numbers aren't used often in urban legends. Not useful ones at least."
  107. Dec 06 13:21:37 <Knox> "Mm."
  108. Dec 06 13:22:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> The architecture is a bit...weird. It seems to be a LITTLE like old Kantonese architecture, but the materials are different, and the style seems a little cruder.
  109. Dec 06 13:22:56 <Knox> "So the area seems divided into different species' territories. I don't see many pokemon around that center temple-looking area, either."
  110. Dec 06 13:23:11 <Ululane> "So it's either the safest place or the deadliest."
  111. Dec 06 13:23:14 <Knox> "I imagine the temple was the focus of what Aether wanted to research down here."
  112. Dec 06 13:23:58 <Ululane> "Well...what are we waiting for?"
  113. Dec 06 13:24:17 <Knox> "May as well." he starts waddling that way in his flippers.
  114. Dec 06 13:24:29 <Ululane> Melanie snorts a giggle as she follows.
  115. Dec 06 13:25:05 * Mackenzie hurries along and begins moving into point, since the way to go seems pretty apparent.
  116. Dec 06 13:27:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> The structures that were made of non-stone materials are probably the most worn down, but there are some that have managed to keep it together and look like they've been made from bamboo mats and other woven plant materials. Some of the stone stuff is put into vaguely pyramidal shapes, and there's a lot of curved tops on the buildings for style.
  117. Dec 06 13:28:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Basically, if it has more than one floor, each floor is smaller than the last.
  118. Dec 06 13:30:24 <Mackenzie> "I mean... This is kind of a natural marvel, you know? All cracked and stuff... You'd never know when the shell might give in and the whole thing lost. Maybe we should... Y'know, sightsee a little."
  119. Dec 06 13:34:43 <Knox> "Some of the buildings vaguely resemble... what, pagodas?"
  120. Dec 06 13:35:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Pagodas is right! Definitely pagodas of some sort, although the shapes are a little weird
  121. Dec 06 13:35:53 <Knox> "Honestly I can't say I've ever been the sightseeing kind, but..."
  122. Dec 06 13:36:30 <Mackenzie> "There could be priceless cultural relics, even."
  123. Dec 06 13:37:00 <Knox> "..Maybe we can do a -little- sightseeing."
  124. Dec 06 13:38:13 <Knox> "Priceless is a bit of a misnomer, though. Someone, somewhere will pay a price for it, otherwise it's just worthless."
  125. Dec 06 13:38:42 <Ululane> "...by the same logic, shouldn't we NOT lollygag so we don't die disappointingly unimpressive deaths?"
  126. Dec 06 13:40:34 <Mackenzie> "I was trying to coax you into doing it with the allure of potential booty. Anyway, if I know anything about things collapsing, you always have an extremely generous five minutes to get out."
  127. Dec 06 13:41:03 <Ululane> "...I...I don't...I think that I really do hate you, Mack..."
  128. Dec 06 13:46:05 <Ululane> Melanie tosses Abe out alongside Aidos. "There, now I think we look sufficiently scary..."
  129. Dec 06 13:46:29 <Knox> He nods in approval.
  130. Dec 06 13:46:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> CLACK CLACK CLACK! the Crawdaunts all clack together at you guys as you go along, although they're probably scared shitless
  131. Dec 06 13:46:47 * Ululane clacks back.
  132. Dec 06 13:48:07 <Ululane> Are there any other buildings that look particularly holy?
  133. Dec 06 13:48:37 * Mackenzie squats down next to Clawdia, and does a clacking motion toward the Crawdaunts. Pretty sure we have the superior clack in the house.
  134. Dec 06 13:49:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> There are smaller shrine type buildings scattered throughout the city, yes, it just seems that the BIG ONE is THE BIGGEST
  135. Dec 06 13:50:05 <Ululane> Are any of the smaller ones not seemingly infested with pokemon?
  136. Dec 06 13:50:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> There are definitely a few that you pass by, yes.
  137. Dec 06 13:52:13 <Ululane> Mel stops taunting lobstards and slips into one out of curiosity.
  138. Dec 06 13:54:16 <Knox> Slips into a lobstard.
  139. Dec 06 13:54:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> let's seeee
  140. Dec 06 13:54:29 * Knox peers after Mel, before heading in himself.
  141. Dec 06 13:54:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d100
  142. Dec 06 13:54:31 <PsychoRoll> Aori_Radidjiu, 1d100: 76 [1d100=76]
  143. Dec 06 13:55:25 * Mackenzie follows the congregation
  144. Dec 06 13:58:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> You find a shrine decorated with patterns of waves on the sides of the walls, and little holes and designs and swirls on top of the ceiling reminiscent of stars and shooting stars and whatnot. There's a few small idols to a woman dressed in dancing attire, flowing about her body, although her body's definition doesn't seem particularly detailed
  145. Dec 06 13:59:13 <Ululane> "...Naamaka?"
  146. Dec 06 13:59:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> There seems to be some kind of tub with what looks like some kind of water hookup in part of the shrine, although it's full of gunk now
  147. Dec 06 14:00:03 <Knox> "Maybe."
  148. Dec 06 14:00:14 <Knox> "I don't really know a lot about her."
  149. Dec 06 14:02:30 <Ululane> "...if...each lesser god has a shrine here...then...I wonder if we can find remnants of any lost gods in destroyed shrines..."
  150. Dec 06 14:03:35 <Ululane> Melanie steps out and looks for the next closest shrine.
  151. Dec 06 14:03:43 <Mackenzie> "Wonder if this has any actual tie to her, or like, her power or whatever." He walks over to the gunk tub and looks at it.
  152. Dec 06 14:04:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d100
  153. Dec 06 14:04:40 <PsychoRoll> Aori_Radidjiu, 1d100: 83 [1d100=83]
  154. Dec 06 14:04:48 * Knox examines the idols.
  155. Dec 06 14:06:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Across from this shrine is another, with swirls of smoke put on the walls inside, lightning crackling on the ceiling. There's some kind of primitive stove set up inside. There are idols of a woman here too, this one clad plainly, her body posture aggressive.
  156. Dec 06 14:07:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox, looking at the idols, it seems they put a lot of work into Naamaka's clothes, although they're chipped in areas so they're not as detailed as they used to be. Some of them are missing arms and legs, one even missing a head, but there's one that's in almost pristine condition all things considering here.
  157. Dec 06 14:07:24 <Ululane> "Aaaaaaaaand...probably Pele I imagine...oooooh, wait, wait, wait, maybe..." Melanie specifically looks towards the Sharpedo area for available shrines. "If I can find the big fish, maybe I can get a way of finding what I want..."
  158. Dec 06 14:08:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> The one in the best condition even has a bit of whatever dye or paint was used on it on it, giving her hair a bluish tinge
  159. Dec 06 14:09:49 * Knox takes a closer look at the pristine idol, before glancing Mackenzie's way to see if he got anything out of looking at the tub. He plans to take the idol with them, you never know what might come in handy with occultism later. He'll be very careful to wrap it up in something soft in the waterproof bag.
  160. Dec 06 14:12:08 <Knox> "Granted there's no way this city will rise above the sea again, I don't see much use in things like this remaining down here. Maybe this place was important once, but the world's moved on."
  161. Dec 06 14:12:43 <Knox> He isn't in any position to see what Mel's doing though
  162. Dec 06 14:13:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Tjere
  163. Dec 06 14:14:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a few shrines in the submerged areas, but the crawdaunts begin their warning clacking in gutso as you approach,a nd the Sharpedo nudge near the edge of hte water, swimming back and forth, mouths open.
  164. Dec 06 14:15:16 <Ululane> "Hey, you fuckers, I just want to find Ka-moho-ali'i's shrine, I mean really, what kind of asshole treats guests this way..."
  165. Dec 06 14:15:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> CLACKCLACKCLACKCLACK
  166. Dec 06 14:15:38 <Ululane> (Why is intimidate not a pokeskill...)
  167. Dec 06 14:16:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> 4d6+4+4 bonus for GROUP TEAMWORK
  168. Dec 06 14:16:11 <PsychoRoll> Aori_Radidjiu, bonus for GROUP TEAMWORK: 15 [4d6=1,1,3,2]
  169. Dec 06 14:16:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> pfffff
  170. Dec 06 14:16:34 * Ululane has her double water monsters return angry roars.
  171. Dec 06 14:18:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Now all th eSharpedo pop their heads out of the water and roar back, joining the chorus of clacking
  172. Dec 06 14:18:30 <Ululane> (Which I don't know how to roll because it isn't a thing)
  173. Dec 06 14:19:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> (what's your Intimidate, and what's your Command?)
  174. Dec 06 14:19:11 * Knox looks up as he hears some roaring and peeks his head out of the shrine.
  175. Dec 06 14:19:32 <Ululane> 3d6+4;6d6-2 Mel's intimidate and command respectively
  176. Dec 06 14:19:33 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, 3d6+4: 10 [3d6=2,3,1]; Mel's intimidate and command respectively: 23 [6d6=6,4,5,1,5,4]
  177. Dec 06 14:20:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> averaged, that's 16, which is about matching the other side. While your mons definitely put on a better show, it seems both groups are at a stalemate, glaring each toher down
  178. Dec 06 14:20:37 <Ululane> Oh, +2 for half of the command because Abe is ghost? I don't even
  179. Dec 06 14:25:35 * Mackenzie , once that meanwhile stuff is resolved, hoists Clawdia up to the edge of the mucky tub. "See if you can clean this thing out with one of your water attacks." He then realizes he can't get through to her and makes arm-shooty motions at it.
  180. Dec 06 14:26:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> SHOOTY? OKAY! Clawdia rinses out the whole thing
  181. Dec 06 14:27:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's not full of nice, clean water~
  182. Dec 06 14:27:37 <Ululane> It's not?
  183. Dec 06 14:27:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> *now
  184. Dec 06 14:29:16 <Mackenzie> 2d6+1 Is there anything of note about the tub, or perhaps any noticeable object stuck in the muck now that it's out on the ground?
  185. Dec 06 14:29:16 <PsychoRoll> Mackenzie, Is there anything of note about the tub, or perhaps any noticeable object stuck in the muck now that it's out on the ground?: 10 [2d6=5,4]
  186. Dec 06 14:30:59 <Ululane> With a sneer, Melanie turns away, beckoning her pokemon to follow. Not worth beating up all of the local wildlife yet. "...anyone see any kind of bank or treasure room? If whatever caused this place to sink was quick, maybe there are some storehouses outside of the normal shrines."
  187. Dec 06 14:31:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's mostly decayed plant matter, but rummaging through it, you find, in a dirt clod, a pendant with a shape like a water droplet. It seems to be some kind of glass, colored blue.
  188. Dec 06 14:32:32 <Mackenzie> "Hmm. Speaking of priceless cultural relics." Mack cleans the pendant off in the clean water, and then presents it in Knox's direction.
  189. Dec 06 14:36:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh, uh, durrr
  190. Dec 06 14:36:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie roll perception and Intuition
  191. Dec 06 14:36:48 <Knox> "I haven't seen anything." he calls over to Mel as he takes the pendant and stores it away as well. "Though we've been finding shit over here."
  192. Dec 06 14:36:50 <Ululane> 4d6+4;1d6-2
  193. Dec 06 14:36:50 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, 4d6+4: 14 [4d6=3,4,1,2]; 1d6-2: 2 [1d6=4]
  194. Dec 06 14:36:57 <Ululane> (Fuck you perception)
  195. Dec 06 14:37:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> You have no idea wherea bank would be.
  196. Dec 06 14:37:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Intuition was much more important there)
  197. Dec 06 14:38:06 <Ululane> No smaller, but still grand looking buildings located just to the side of any of the bigger shrines?
  198. Dec 06 14:38:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> No such things. Most of the big buildings that aren't shrines are over in the district with the barbaracles
  199. Dec 06 14:39:08 <Ululane> Are any of them fairly large but boring looking?
  200. Dec 06 14:39:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> More than a few, yeah.
  201. Dec 06 14:40:01 <Ululane> "...anyone know how friendly those uh...those...pointy...weird...hand-looking things are?"
  202. Dec 06 14:40:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> errybody roll me Pokemon Education
  203. Dec 06 14:40:19 <Ululane> 2d6+4
  204. Dec 06 14:40:19 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, 2d6+4: 11 [2d6=6,1]
  205. Dec 06 14:40:32 <Mackenzie> 3d6+1
  206. Dec 06 14:40:33 <PsychoRoll> Mackenzie, 3d6+1: 16 [3d6=3,6,6]
  207. Dec 06 14:41:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie's thoughts on them are along the lines of "holy shit are you kidding each one of these fuckers has more hands and faces than all three of us combined they're god-eating monsters from hell"
  208. Dec 06 14:41:51 <Ululane> But I don't feel anything even similar to those Kecleons...
  209. Dec 06 14:41:58 <Knox> One sec.
  210. Dec 06 14:42:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mackenzie has worked with a few in movies before, despite looking like FREAKS they're actually super chill.
  211. Dec 06 14:42:34 <Knox> 2d6+1 Okay spending an AP
  212. Dec 06 14:42:34 <PsychoRoll> Knox, Okay spending an AP: 5 [2d6=1,3]
  213. Dec 06 14:42:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> Just don't do anything to make them angry (and they don't anger easily) and you'll be fine
  214. Dec 06 14:42:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox thinks the same thing as Melanie
  215. Dec 06 14:43:47 <Knox> "They live in the sea and they look mean, chances are they're pretty vicious. I've seen the smaller ones from time to time on rocks near shorelines, but never attempted to mess with them."
  216. Dec 06 14:44:58 <Mackenzie> "You mean the barnacle pokemon with the... head-hand things? They're harmless as long as you don't make a serious effort to make them mad. I've worked with them before. He loved coming up with different ways to do high fives."
  217. Dec 06 14:46:36 <Ululane> "Hmmmmmkay, so they won't eat me?"
  218. Dec 06 14:47:10 <Ululane> Under normal circumstances, Melanie would never trust someone that just said what Mack said, however this was one of the few times Mack sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
  219. Dec 06 14:48:35 <Mackenzie> "If they seem unnerved by something, it's probably very important to them."
  220. Dec 06 14:48:47 <Ululane> "Alright well uh...I'm...going to go see what's up with their area...see if any of those buildings are warehouses full of priceless and terrible artifacts like the one at the end of that one movie Mackenzie was in."
  221. Dec 06 14:49:11 <Ululane> Melanie cautiously steps onto their turf, aiming toward one of the larger, duller buildings.
  222. Dec 06 14:49:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> All of their handfaces turn to look at you as you step on your turf at once.
  223. Dec 06 14:49:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...and then turn away. Meh.
  224. Dec 06 14:49:51 <Ululane> 4d6+4 Do not piss your pants
  225. Dec 06 14:49:51 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, Do not piss your pants: 15 [4d6=2,1,4,4]
  226. Dec 06 14:49:56 <Ululane> Pants successfully unpissed.
  227. Dec 06 14:51:37 <Ululane> Summoning all of her courage (a decidedly unimpressive amount), Melanie walks into one of the buildings.
  228. Dec 06 14:52:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> You walk into the first building you find that doesn't seem super official and you find...ROWS OF BEDS. It's a barracks, it seems, with some basic weapons strewn about, along with empty apricorn balls in some places. The sheets and cushioning are completely gone so it's just the frames of the beds.
  229. Dec 06 14:53:39 <Ululane> What sorts of weapons are they?
  230. Dec 06 14:53:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> mostly knives and spears of sorts.
  231. Dec 06 14:55:16 <Ululane> She looks at the knives...maybe she can replace her kitchen knife...but gotta start with a good base, these seem to be the basic soldier issue...Melanie looks for any adjoining rooms that might belong to higher ranking people.
  232. Dec 06 14:57:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> There is! It's a small room off the side, with its own window and bed and everything. There's a fancier knife on the table, the sheath and handle look a bit worn out, but hte metal is fine.
  233. Dec 06 14:58:27 <Ululane> Hmmmm, probably a better start than a modern knife to make her own...she carefully picks it up and stows it away before stepping back outside.
  234. Dec 06 15:02:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lookin' some more?
  235. Dec 06 15:02:48 <Ululane> Yep! Mel talks into her radio while wandering around Barbaracland to the next building. "Is it just me, or is it kind of weird all these water types are in this area that isn't submerged? Like...there doesn't seem to be many food sources available unless they actually leave the city to go back into the ocean. In which case...why don't they just stay in their element in the first place?
  236. Dec 06 15:04:12 <Mackenzie> "If these shrines have actual significance to different gods, they could be attracted to that."
  237. Dec 06 15:04:14 <Knox> "The prebuilt structures are probably a lot more convenient for them than random holes and caves out in the open sea."
  238. Dec 06 15:04:33 <Knox> "That, and as Mackenzie said, there could be religious significance."
  239. Dec 06 15:04:52 <Knox> "The Barbaracles specifically probably find it rather easy to live in a town meant for humans."
  240. Dec 06 15:05:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> As Mel talks about that, she notices, in one of the few pools in this district, a bunch of Binacle and Barbaracles in the pool, eating seaweed that comes throguh the current. The Barbaracles are also eating some of that glowy moss in the area that's made its way lower down.
  241. Dec 06 15:07:17 <Ululane> The glowy moss triggers a sad smile as she thinks about Reeve...and then a little PTSD as she remembers being a fishthing, resulting in a bit of a yelp.
  242. Dec 06 15:10:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> Being a fish was nice
  243. Dec 06 15:11:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Every day, day in day out, feeding on yummy moss and not worrying about being eaten
  244. Dec 06 15:11:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> but it sure was lonely
  245. Dec 06 15:11:12 * Domovoi (~Domo@Rizon-56478204.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined
  246. Dec 06 15:11:38 <Ululane> What are you talking about disembodied voice, the terror of being eaten was the only thought!
  247. Dec 06 15:17:45 * Domovoi is now known as Mako_K
  248. Dec 06 15:19:07 <Ululane> Melanie returns to the group. "I found a kniiiife!"
  249. Dec 06 15:20:19 <Knox> "Yay?" He squints through his protective visor at Mel. "Is it a good one?"
  250. Dec 06 15:20:31 <Knox> "Or maybe an old ritual knife?"
  251. Dec 06 15:21:17 <Ululane> "Nah, some sort of military issue, but like a captain or...however...ranks...work...if anyone FINDS a ritual knife, let me know, but if not, I'm going to restore this one."
  252. Dec 06 15:21:54 <Mackenzie> "I got a pendant, which appears as though it should be directly relevant to Naamaka. So I guess I'll have to see her later on."
  253. Dec 06 15:22:23 <Knox> "I found an idol of her that seemed to be untouched. I'll give it a more thorough looking-over later."
  254. Dec 06 15:22:32 <Knox> "Anyway, we going to the shrine?"
  255. Dec 06 15:23:12 <Ululane> ...oh right, Mel also neesd to talk to her. "...yes, the big one."
  256. Dec 06 15:23:46 * Knox waddles off towards the main temple area.
  257. Dec 06 15:25:18 <Ululane> Melanie pffffffts some more, while walking behind him. Every so often, she "accidentally" steps on the back of one of his flippers.
  258. Dec 06 15:25:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> TO THE TEMPLE! You walk up the stairs to the temple (it's elevated a bit) and walk up to the entrance.
  259. Dec 06 15:26:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> MAKO! You got up fairly recently (how do you know it's night if there's no sun) and have managed to get all of your soreness from fighting that crazy tubby thing out
  260. Dec 06 15:26:58 * Knox shoots glares her way every time she does it but doesn't say anything.
  261. Dec 06 15:27:08 <Mako_K> Mako is doing his morning squat reps in the doorway to the shrine, then, as is his routine. As close as routine as possible when he can't see the sun.
  262. Dec 06 15:28:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> As you bring your head up for another squat, you see, from your vantage point, a trio of SPACE SUITS, one colored green, one colored navy blue, and one colored dark purple
  263. Dec 06 15:29:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Actually, they're awfully tight for space suits, so they might be diving suits. Whatever the case, since they're tight, you can tell they're probably actually human, with one being female and two being male
  264. Dec 06 15:29:22 * Knox finally gets his ass up those damn stairs in those flippers.
  265. Dec 06 15:29:53 <Mako_K> "Maybe I shouldn't be eating the mold down here." He keeps doing his sets as he waits for them to finish waddling. Maybe he is rescued.
  266. Dec 06 15:30:04 <Knox> Do we see him?
  267. Dec 06 15:30:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> The three of you get up the stairs, and about 2/3rd's of the way up you can see a human doing squats int he opening
  268. Dec 06 15:30:56 <Knox> "...Who the fuck?" he mumbles as they reach the peak of the stairs, though it's over the radio and probably not well-audible to Mako.
  269. Dec 06 15:31:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> A rather muscular human, although he's not quite as tan as he used to be since he hasn't seen the sun in a while.
  270. Dec 06 15:32:06 <Ululane> "Ocean hobo or Aether?" Mel squints.
  271. Dec 06 15:32:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> You squint and he looks AWFUL FAMILIAR
  272. Dec 06 15:32:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> SO FAMILIAR you're probably sure you're hallucinating
  273. Dec 06 15:32:58 <Mako_K> Mako is wearing some swim briefs and is rather elaborately tattooed along his arms and torso. He's kinda sweaty.
  274. Dec 06 15:33:04 <Mackenzie> "Wait, there's someone in here? How in the world?"
  275. Dec 06 15:33:10 * Knox reaches for the gun-like weapon at his side cautiously, though he doesn't draw it just yet...
  276. Dec 06 15:35:14 <Ululane> ...she must have ocean madness. Or he has ocean madness. Maybe everyone has ocean madness. Decompression sickness be damned, Melanie tries to remove her head. Helmet. Melanie tries to remove her helmet. Whatever.
  277. Dec 06 15:36:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> This is RIGHT as the hud BEEPS at you that compression acclimation is done. Perfect.
  278. Dec 06 15:36:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mako sees one of them reach the top, hesitate, and then RIP OFF THEIR HELMET to become Melanie.
  279. Dec 06 15:36:58 <Mackenzie> Beep? Oh, cool. He takes his helmet off too, then.
  280. Dec 06 15:37:31 <Mako_K> "Ey yo, look who it is. Took you guys long enough."
  281. Dec 06 15:37:32 * Knox unlatches his helmet as well, confused by Mel's sudden clawing at her helmet.
  282. Dec 06 15:37:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> and then mack, and then who the fuck is that guy
  283. Dec 06 15:37:46 <Knox> "...Wait, he knows you?"
  284. Dec 06 15:37:55 <Knox> "Who the fuck is this guy?"
  285. Dec 06 15:38:05 <Ululane> Melanie kindasorta says his name silently, eyes widening and tears forming.
  286. Dec 06 15:38:10 <Mako_K> "Who the fuck are YOU, guy?"
  287. Dec 06 15:38:11 <Mackenzie> "Wait... Mako?"
  288. Dec 06 15:38:34 <Ululane> 4d6+4 Self focus...14+ to not faint, 18+ to not continue gibbering incoherently
  289. Dec 06 15:38:35 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, Self focus...14+ to not faint, 18+ to not continue gibbering incoherently: 15 [4d6=5,1,1,4]
  290. Dec 06 15:38:37 <Mako_K> "In the paling-by-the-second flesh."
  291. Dec 06 15:38:49 * Knox is a man in his mid-20's with dark blue hair and blue-violet eyes, and a rather grumpy-but-confused expression on his face. He seems well-built.
  292. Dec 06 15:39:16 <Knox> "Mako? What, that guy who went missing...? Holy shit, this is...?"
  293. Dec 06 15:39:27 <Ululane> " I uh...you...it...can't...but you're...uh...KNOXY, PINCH ME!"
  294. Dec 06 15:39:38 * Knox reaches over and pinches the shit out of Mel's arm.
  295. Dec 06 15:39:53 <Mako_K> "An underwater shrine? Yeah, it is. I didn't realize how underwater, but I guess you guys need fancy suits to reach it, huh?"
  296. Dec 06 15:40:16 <Ululane> She yelps. "M-M-M-Mako? You're not...dead...like...drowned and splatted?"
  297. Dec 06 15:40:18 <Knox> "We're a talking Crawdaunt with a Visiwan accent away from a Disney musical."
  298. Dec 06 15:40:31 <Mackenzie> (And then Melanie's suit was punctured and she was fucked.)
  299. Dec 06 15:40:34 <Mako_K> "Mel, I can't drown. Literally impossible."
  300. Dec 06 15:41:49 <Knox> His expression is critical of this other guy at first, but he softens up as Mel looks ready to explode. He understands, this was her old crewmate.
  301. Dec 06 15:42:08 <Ululane> "S-So...I...didn't get you killed?" She doesn't seem to quite process that he hasn't drowned. Maybe he's a zombie...
  302. Dec 06 15:42:20 <Mackenzie> "What happened after Mermaid Haven?"
  303. Dec 06 15:42:26 <Knox> "...Nicholas Knight. You can call me Knox. I'm with their group."
  304. Dec 06 15:42:57 * Knox heads to the side of the door and starts peeling off his flippers for now to replace with his combat boots.
  305. Dec 06 15:43:23 <Mako_K> "Not this time. Mako Kalama, also with their group." He goes back to squats. "Got swept overboard and into a current that popped me out here. Been dealing with Pokepolitics and trying to fix Fuujin since then."
  306. Dec 06 15:44:15 <Knox> "I'll be damned. So I was actually more or less right."
  307. Dec 06 15:44:24 <Ululane> Melanie attaches herself to Mako, the ferocity of her hug almost makes it seem as though she's trying to asphyxiate him.
  308. Dec 06 15:44:37 <Knox> "She missed you, obviously."
  309. Dec 06 15:45:05 <Mako_K> Mako hugs Mel with one arm and uses her as more weight. "I missed her, too, in a weird way. And Mack, too, of course."
  310. Dec 06 15:45:16 <Knox> "You said something about poke-politics? What the hell is going on down here? We're investigating this place because Team Aether apparently had a vested interest in researching it."
  311. Dec 06 15:45:40 * Telume has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  312. Dec 06 15:46:00 <Mako_K> He jerks his head back towards the inner part of the shrine and waddles backwards. "Take a look. Place is a shrine to all the old Wakino gods, so there's definitely some kind of divine power here."
  313. Dec 06 15:47:09 <Mako_K> "There's three major tribes of Pokemon living in the ruins - jellies, sharks, and the Barabaracles - and each tribe has a still functioning divine artifact. It's sort of like a gang territory war right now. If we can get all three artifacts into the shrine, there won't be anything to fight over and it'll help my buddy Fuujin out."
  314. Dec 06 15:47:26 <Knox> "We saw a smaller, more dedicate shrine to Naamaka on the way over, so it's easy to believe something like that. Who's this Fuujin?"
  315. Dec 06 15:48:09 <Ululane> The fact that active divine shit is happening nearly overloads poor Melanie, as she pulls away to viciously? inspect this shrine.
  316. Dec 06 15:48:10 <Mako_K> "Kantonese god of wind, pretty chill guy, but looks like he's lost some footing in this world."
  317. Dec 06 15:48:41 <Knox> "We seem to be in the business of helping out the little gods these days."
  318. Dec 06 15:48:43 <Mako_K> "He and his brother Raijin, thunder god, are my patrons. I think that's the right word."
  319. Dec 06 15:49:26 <Knox> He nods. "Fair enough. Alright then, where do we get started? Figure we should finish your business here before leaving. It'll probably help make clear what Aether was after in the meantime."
  320. Dec 06 15:50:27 <Mackenzie> "At one stop, I'd intended to take some time and pray to Raijin for you, but things have been... Not fun."
  321. Dec 06 15:50:28 <Knox> "The Sharks and crawdaunts seemed agitated at us, the barbacles didn't give two shits, and I didn't see a jellyfish anywhere."
  322. Dec 06 15:50:55 <Mako_K> "The jellyfish hide. Their leader is a tyrant with an eating disorder, I've tangled with her once already. Didn't go great."
  323. Dec 06 15:51:12 <Mako_K> "I've been trying to avoid the sharks since they're so aggressive."
  324. Dec 06 15:51:13 <Ululane> "And...these...artifacts? What do they do?"
  325. Dec 06 15:51:52 <Mako_K> Mako hums and rubs his chin. "Lady Jelly and King Barabaracle both have the artifacts implanted in their bodies. It's made them really big, really strong, and capable of speech."
  326. Dec 06 15:52:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie, there is a statue for EVERY GOD AND GODDESS in the Wakinese pantheon in this shrine's main room. Or at least, every one you know about. There isn't one that's obviously Mele, although there's a god that just has legs, seems masculine from the look of it. There's also a crude statue, more recent, that seems to be to some kind of masculine figure, the wind sweeping their
  327. Dec 06 15:52:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> hair. They look Kantonese. All of the OLD statues are worn down to some degree, but the ones that aren't completely gone are definitely recognizable
  328. Dec 06 15:53:07 <Ululane> "...does...anyone...have...clay or something?"
  329. Dec 06 15:53:30 <Mako_K> Mako blinks. "We're in an underwater cave, if there was clay we'd be dead."
  330. Dec 06 15:53:49 <Ululane> "We're also in a city."
  331. Dec 06 15:54:13 <Mako_K> "We can ask the Barabaracles. They kind of like me."
  332. Dec 06 15:54:35 <Knox> "What, are you wanting to try your hand at restoring the statues, or something?"
  333. Dec 06 15:54:50 <Ululane> She looks at Knox like he's an idiot. "I need to make my own."
  334. Dec 06 15:55:00 <Knox> "Oh, figures."
  335. Dec 06 15:55:08 <Ululane> "Yes, figure. My own figure."
  336. Dec 06 15:55:17 <Mako_K> "Are you a Wakinese god now?"
  337. Dec 06 15:55:18 <Knox> "We taking care of the assholes first, though? Seems like the thing to do."
  338. Dec 06 15:56:00 <Ululane> "I...um...yes? Mostly? Kind of? It's...a thing at least. Also, seeing as how Mack mentioned cliches earlier, how do we know taking care of assholes wouldn't make bad things happen?"
  339. Dec 06 15:56:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie, you get the sense that if you were to DIRECTLY change anything here, something extraordinarily bad would happen. It's just you that it'd happen to, nothing stopping the others.
  340. Dec 06 15:56:23 <Knox> "Her and Lesieli both."
  341. Dec 06 15:56:32 <Ululane> "Lesieli already was." Seriously, idiot.
  342. Dec 06 15:56:59 <Mako_K> "Obviously."
  343. Dec 06 15:57:07 <Knox> "She didn't pull all that divinity shit until Jackknife, though."
  344. Dec 06 15:57:26 <Knox> "...anyway I doubt this place is just going to fall apart when we beat the hell out of who we need to."
  345. Dec 06 15:57:36 <Mako_K> "Taking care of the assholes has been cleared by Raijin and Fuujin, so don't worry about that."
  346. Dec 06 15:57:41 <Knox> "Let's get to work."
  347. Dec 06 15:58:02 <Mako_K> "I suggest the jellies first, then the sharks."
  348. Dec 06 15:58:18 <Ululane> Melanie frowns at the shrine, pulling away from it cautiously. "Is pitting them against each other not an option?"
  349. Dec 06 15:59:22 * Mackenzie thinks about gods and stuff.
  350. Dec 06 15:59:41 <Mackenzie> 2d6+2 Wasn't someone making a fuss about Eileen during one of the important battles?
  351. Dec 06 15:59:41 <PsychoRoll> Mackenzie, Wasn't someone making a fuss about Eileen during one of the important battles?: 9 [2d6=2,5]
  352. Dec 06 15:59:54 <Mako_K> "Once we remove one, the other two may start fighting, but right now it's a Mexinovan stand-off."
  353. Dec 06 16:00:12 <Mako_K> "They won't commit to a fight because the third faction will clean up. Tactics."
  354. Dec 06 16:01:49 * Mackenzie sends out Eileen over Clawdia anyway. Fun and adventure!
  355. Dec 06 16:02:30 <Knox> Oscilla stays out for now, Mako would probably notice the Malamar hanging around him.
  356. Dec 06 16:02:34 <Ululane> "Alright...so...time to beat up some assholes?" Melanie peels off her diving suit to change into her fancy new clothes and slides on the half-mask...which I will dig up the things for I guess so Domo has some kind of idea of the things. She is much too focused on jelly-covered assholes to be embarrassed.
  357. Dec 06 16:03:11 <Knox> "Right. You need a weapon or anything?" he calls over to Mako.
  358. Dec 06 16:03:31 <Mackenzie> "Mako IS a weapon, as far as I recall."
  359. Dec 06 16:04:01 <Mako_K> "Nah, I'm good." He picks up a volleyball from a corner of the shrine and releases a Rotom piloting a dyson fan. "Come on, Volt, we got jellies to beat up."
  360. Dec 06 16:04:10 <Mako_K> "And then free from their dictator."
  361. Dec 06 16:05:10 * Knox keeps his diving suit on - it's made a bit sturdier than the ones the others are wearing.
  362. Dec 06 16:05:28 <Ululane> Mel turns back down the stairs to return Aidos, leaving her lovable water/ghost Feraligatr Abe. "Anything specific we need to know?"
  363. Dec 06 16:05:36 * Knox then gets ready to follow Mako.
  364. Dec 06 16:06:42 * Mackenzie puts his coat thing on over the suit. He's just gonna have to put the suit back on anyway, so whatever.
  365. Dec 06 16:06:49 <Mako_K> "Uh, she's really strong. Like clearly not just a normal Pokemon anymore strong?"
  366. Dec 06 16:07:15 <Mako_K> Mako hops down the stairs to the shrine and leads the group towards the lady's building.
  367. Dec 06 16:07:25 <Ululane> "But she did not...eat your own power or anything?"
  368. Dec 06 16:07:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's quiet as you approach the plac.e There's barely a sound besides the sounds you yourselves are making
  369. Dec 06 16:08:06 <Mako_K> "I don't think so. I've only been getting more and more weird since I've been down here, so I think I'd notice if she took some."
  370. Dec 06 16:10:11 * Knox walks towards it without much fanfare. No point in really being sneaky. The jellies likely already have the best hiding places.
  371. Dec 06 16:12:17 <Ululane> Melanie pauses briefly as they walk to let Aidos back out alongside Abe. Shenanigans are always fun.
  372. Dec 06 16:12:36 <Mako_K> Mako heads for the double doors he went through last time, no attempt made at being stealthy. "Knock knock, bitch, I'm back for round two!"
  373. Dec 06 16:14:19 * Mackenzie produces his windy blade of windness and has Mako's back.
  374. Dec 06 16:14:53 * Knox unholsters his boltgun.
  375. Dec 06 16:14:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> Juuuuust a sec~
  376. Dec 06 16:18:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> You pop open the door and there is a MORBIDLY HUGE female Jellicent with a purplish stone in her forehead, along with two male jellicent, who both look more competent than the random jackoffs Mako was beating up yesterday. "OOOOOOOOH, eyeeeeee, ssssseeeee, yew've come back for miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~"
  377. Dec 06 16:18:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "And yew brought friendssssss, too!"
  378. Dec 06 16:18:58 <Knox> "So that thing in her head is a relic of what?"
  379. Dec 06 16:19:17 <Ululane> "...I have seen Mackenzie's movies, and this is still the most disgusting thing I've ever seen."
  380. Dec 06 16:19:47 <Mackenzie> "That doesn't even make sense."
  381. Dec 06 16:20:00 <Mako_K> "Yeah, the rock in her face. She calls it her third eye, it's clearly a rock."
  382. Dec 06 16:20:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=yfbgE41gkWk#Chaotic_Dance_2_-_Baten_Kaitos_Origins_Music_Extended "Eyeeeee'm tired of talking, let'ssss eat~!"
  383. Dec 06 16:21:00 <Ululane> "So...does she fight like a normal Jellicent? Ooooo-oooh god, it's just disgusting..."
  384. Dec 06 16:21:41 <Knox> Give me Oscilla, please, speed 21
  385. Dec 06 16:22:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Done~

  389. Dec 06 16:23:18 <Ululane> (We also need access to our poketokens)
  390. Dec 06 16:23:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> (did I fuck that up)
  391. Dec 06 16:23:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> (sorry)

  414. Dec 06 16:29:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> Miss!
  415. Dec 06 16:29:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox!
  416. Dec 06 16:29:41 <Knox> "No better time than the present to test this out." he moves to the side and lines up a shot with his Boltgun at the massive creature.
  417. Dec 06 16:29:52 <Knox> 1d20
  418. Dec 06 16:29:52 <PsychoRoll> Knox, 1d20: 4 [1d20=4]

  421. Dec 06 16:30:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Aidos!
  422. Dec 06 16:30:30 <Ululane> Mel spends 1 AP to lift frequency restrictions for commanding two mons.
  423. Dec 06 16:31:23 <Ululane> 1d20+1;1d20+1 Fire pledge and Water Pledge respectively via the Pledge interrupt thingy on fatty

  430. Dec 06 16:32:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Unfortunately, Fatty has WATER ABSORB, but that doesn't negate pledge bonuses
  431. Dec 06 16:32:19 <Ululane> And a Rainbow forms for 5 turns, giving allies +3 effect range!
  432. Dec 06 16:32:32 * Aori_Radidjiu has changed the topic to: Rainbow 5
  433. Dec 06 16:33:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> She doesn't seem fazed in the least. "Oh, what a nice light sssssshow!"
  434. Dec 06 16:33:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eileen!
  435. Dec 06 16:34:01 <Mackenzie> Eileen begins by infatuating the boss with her aura.
  436. Dec 06 16:34:19 <Ululane> (Oh -5 damage on each of those rolls, woops)
  437. Dec 06 16:34:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh maiiiiiiiii, what a cute little lady~"
  438. Dec 06 16:34:44 <Knox> "Ugh."
  439. Dec 06 16:34:53 <Ululane> "Make it shut up!"
  440. Dec 06 16:34:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> Volt! ...who was supposed to go before Eileen, whoops
  441. Dec 06 16:35:51 <Mackenzie> It doesn't really specify whether ot not that actually consumes an action
  442. Dec 06 16:35:52 <Mako_K> Volt fires a beam of light through the rainbow to dazzle the Abyssal Mother. Confuse Ray~
  443. Dec 06 16:36:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Magic Bounce! It reflects, deflecting off her blubbery skin and going right back to Volt!
  444. Dec 06 16:36:33 <Knox> Aroma Veil!
  445. Dec 06 16:36:39 <Knox> Allies within ten meters cannot be confused!
  446. Dec 06 16:36:46 <Knox> A sharp scent wafts out from Knox.
  447. Dec 06 16:36:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> fizzle
  448. Dec 06 16:36:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mako!
  449. Dec 06 16:37:04 <Mako_K> Mako sniffs. "That's new."
  450. Dec 06 16:37:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox smells nice~
  451. Dec 06 16:37:29 <Knox> It smells like a cologne, of a sort.
  452. Dec 06 16:37:40 <Ululane> Too many smelly people in this group.
  453. Dec 06 16:38:32 <Mako_K> Mako charges forward and stops with a little slide. Water droplets bubble up out of his skin. Aqua Ring! And then, with a crackle of electricity, he sidearms a volleyball at the Mother and the northern jelly. Multi-tasking - Thunderpunch!
  454. Dec 06 16:38:37 <Mako_K> 2#1d20 Mother Jelly
  455. Dec 06 16:38:38 <PsychoRoll> Mako_K, Mother Jelly: 20 [1d20=20], 3 [1d20=3]

  459. Dec 06 16:39:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> first a crit, then a miss~
  460. Dec 06 16:39:24 <Ululane> "Good to see you didn't get lazy down here..."
  461. Dec 06 16:40:07 <Mako_K> He catches the ball as it rebounds off the mother. "I don't like bullies."
  462. Dec 06 16:42:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> MASSIVE DAMAGE on the normal jelly! The Mother doesn't seem too phased, though!
  463. Dec 06 16:42:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Oscilla!
  464. Dec 06 16:42:21 <Knox> Oscilla moves into melee with this thing and unleashes a Psycho Cut to test her typing!
  465. Dec 06 16:42:36 <Knox> And with her positioning, that's four combatants... should be flanking!
  466. Dec 06 16:42:37 <Knox> 1d20+2
  467. Dec 06 16:42:37 <PsychoRoll> Knox, 1d20+2: 10 [1d20=8]

  471. Dec 06 16:43:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> She barely seems to notice. Melanie!
  472. Dec 06 16:43:36 <Ululane> Already Focused Commanded.
  473. Dec 06 16:45:34 <Mackenzie> "So if we take her down... Would the others continue fighting? I only ask because of your choice of the word 'dictator' earlier."
  474. Dec 06 16:45:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh roit
  475. Dec 06 16:46:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Abyssal Mother!
  476. Dec 06 16:46:48 <Mako_K> "She supposedly protects them, but she's more of a dictator than a queen."
  477. Dec 06 16:48:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Press! She loses some HP! +1 SAt Stage, +1 Spd Stage! And then she attacks...with SLUDGE WAVE
  478. Dec 06 16:50:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 She moves left one to hit Mako and Knox, then diagonal one to hit Mack, right to hit Oscilla, diagonal another to hit Eileen, and then BURSTS with poison to shove everyone away outside of her!
  479. Dec 06 16:50:01 <PsychoRoll> Aori_Radidjiu, She moves left one to hit Mako and Knox, then diagonal one to hit Mack, right to hit Oscilla, diagonal another to hit Eileen, and then BURSTS with poison to shove everyone away outside of her!: 11 [1d20=11]

  483. Dec 06 16:50:21 <Knox> "Ahahahaha, you think that'll work on me? That's adorable!"
  484. Dec 06 16:50:25 <Mackenzie> And infatuation
  485. Dec 06 16:50:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 to actually strike Eileen
  486. Dec 06 16:50:40 <PsychoRoll> Aori_Radidjiu, to actually strike Eileen: 1 [1d20=1]
  487. Dec 06 16:50:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> She intentionally avoids hitting Eileen
  488. Dec 06 16:50:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> she hits everyone else though
  489. Dec 06 16:51:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> 3d8+10+37+8

  492. Dec 06 16:51:34 <Ululane> Already Pledged.
  493. Dec 06 16:51:40 <Knox> Knox barely seems barely bothered.
  494. Dec 06 16:51:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh right
  495. Dec 06 16:51:49 <Mackenzie> Barely.
  496. Dec 06 16:51:54 <Ululane> Bearly.

  502. Dec 06 16:53:11 <Mako_K> Mako wipes some sludge off his pecs. Gross.
  503. Dec 06 16:53:29 <Ululane> Abe is barely still up barely.]

  717. Dec 06 17:33:18 <Knox> Knox continues to barely care.
  718. Dec 06 17:33:25 <Mako_K> Mako weaves into position, then whistles as he underhand lobs the ball towards Volt. The Rotom sets it up over head for Mako as he jumps up and spikes it back down at the jellies. Thunderpunch on Volt, Jelly, and Mother!
  719. Dec 06 17:33:34 <Mako_K> 2#1d20 Mother, Jelly, Volt auto takes it

  724. Dec 06 17:34:10 <Mako_K> Volt's Motor Drive activates, raising speed to 37
  725. Dec 06 17:34:47 <Knox> Knox goes to 23 speed.
  726. Dec 06 17:34:58 <Knox> Oscilla it doesn't matter because burn and I want a new pokemon out anyway.

  731. Dec 06 17:37:03 <Knox> Anyway, as Oscilla goes down, Incognito comes out!
  732. Dec 06 17:37:10 <Knox> Imposter to the Abyssal Mother!
  733. Dec 06 17:37:16 <Knox> and his turn is skipped for now.
  734. Dec 06 17:37:32 <Knox> because Oscilla intercepted
  735. Dec 06 17:37:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Hokay

  841. Dec 06 17:54:52 <Mackenzie> Then Mack needs to recharge, and Cindy has no command to use
  842. Dec 06 17:55:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knoxy!

  951. Dec 06 18:13:01 <Ululane> Melanie hardly shivers.
  952. Dec 06 18:13:15 <Mako_K> The ice doesn't stick much to MUSCLE.
  953. Dec 06 18:13:24 <Ululane> 1d20+1 Gator appears out of the shadows to devour the jelly
  954. Dec 06 18:13:24 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, Gator appears out of the shadows to devour the jelly: 21 [1d20=20]

  957. Dec 06 18:13:43 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, VICIOUSLY: 87 [8d10=5,9,2,2,9,3,6,5]
  958. Dec 06 18:13:50 <Mackenzie> Bitch you think you can freeze an ice pokemon?
  959. Dec 06 18:14:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> CONSIDERING HOW HIGH ITS INJURIES ARE...
  960. Dec 06 18:14:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> AIDOS RUSHES IN, GETTING A BIG BITE IN ON HER
  961. Dec 06 18:14:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> and
  962. Dec 06 18:14:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> she
  963. Dec 06 18:14:50 <Ululane> Abe
  964. Dec 06 18:14:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> deflates
  965. Dec 06 18:14:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> ABE
  966. Dec 06 18:15:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> PFFFFFFFFFFEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
  967. Dec 06 18:15:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> she flies around like a deflating baloon
  968. Dec 06 18:15:23 * Ululane tries to catch the balloon telekinetically to recover the artifact without looking like the three stooges.
  969. Dec 06 18:15:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> the big orb in her forehead falls down to the ground, popping out of her head once she starts deflating
  970. Dec 06 18:16:34 <Ululane> Well in that case, Melanie just pulls it to her hand and looks at it.
  971. Dec 06 18:17:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's a dark purple color, with runic marks engraved in,a nd the occasional pulse of energy. On one side, it has a set of markings made to look like a face, somewhat resembling Kanaloa's Manaphy form's face
  972. Dec 06 18:18:14 <Ululane> Oh, the asshole she's trying to steal a domain from? Huh...
  973. Dec 06 18:18:30 <Knox> "Kanaloa, huh? Cute, considering we beat the real thing a while back."
  974. Dec 06 18:18:41 <Ululane> "Not at full power though..."
  975. Dec 06 18:19:18 <Ululane> Melanie tests how hard the orb is to see if she can scratch out the face.
  976. Dec 06 18:19:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> They're GROOVES in the orb
  977. Dec 06 18:19:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> Can't do that without some SERIOUS toosl
  978. Dec 06 18:19:59 <Ululane> Hey, that's why she was testing the hardness! Do you even streak test?
  979. Dec 06 18:20:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> it's basically a relief
  980. Dec 06 18:20:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> you definitely can't do it with your hands, and it'd take a lot of work to do it with a pokemon
  981. Dec 06 18:20:53 <Knox> "Well, whatever, bitch is gone. You're welcome." he calls out to basically no one. "I guess we get this thing to the shrine, or prepare to go on the sharks. Either way..."
  982. Dec 06 18:21:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> It pulses yellow again, energy running through the grooves, and it shocks you. This thing has some kind of electrical component! Maybe some internal machinery?
  983. Dec 06 18:21:21 <Ululane> "...or just take it with us. He doesn't need any more power."
  984. Dec 06 18:21:39 <Ululane> Eep! She drops it.
  985. Dec 06 18:21:40 <Knox> "Mako was collecting these for Fuujin."
  986. Dec 06 18:21:42 <Ululane> "Nevermind, it's bullshit."
  987. Dec 06 18:21:54 <Knox> "...and that may be why."
  988. Dec 06 18:22:10 * Knox picks up the orb, avoiding the grooves.
  989. Dec 06 18:22:13 <Ululane> "Maybe someone else tried claiming ot FOR Kanaloa..."
  990. Dec 06 18:22:17 <Ululane> *it
  991. Dec 06 18:22:20 <Mackenzie> "I'm honestly not sure if we can handle two more fights like that, without some time for relief."
  992. Dec 06 18:22:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> You drop it and it floats carefully above the ground, not touching it. Knox manages to grab it safely
  993. Dec 06 18:22:40 <Ululane> "Well not if you keep running into the middle of fights like a bull."
  994. Dec 06 18:23:14 <Ululane> "Also the impression was that the Barb....Barbsicle things weren't much of a problem."
  995. Dec 06 18:24:03 <Ululane> "But having access to...something to make us stronger down here would be nice..."
  996. Dec 06 18:24:22 <Ululane> "The real question is whether we just broke a stalemate or not."
  997. Dec 06 18:24:30 <Knox> "Yeah, one more fight, not two. ...You know, we keep running into these people and pokemon capable of fighting our entire fucking group on their own. Whether it's through cybernetic enhancement, divine relics or just wheaties... shit, that's got to be nice."
  998. Dec 06 18:24:39 <Knox> "Anyway."
  999. Dec 06 18:26:28 <Knox> "Let's briefly rest up, make sure our resident fluffhead didn't decide to follow us after all after waking up, and get ready to throw down."
  1000. Dec 06 18:29:02 <Knox> "...You might want to throw healing Mako's way." he mentions to Mel.
  1001. Dec 06 18:29:15 <Mako_K> "Yeah, we need a break." He holds Volt's fan body under one arm.
  1002. Dec 06 18:29:42 <Ululane> "What, you don't have any medicine?" Melanie is almost offended at the implication that she's the group healer.
  1003. Dec 06 18:29:50 <Ululane> That was pointed back at Knox.
  1004. Dec 06 18:30:21 <Mako_K> "I think I have a few potions if they haven't gone bad."
  1005. Dec 06 18:30:25 <Knox> "I just have the shit Lecia gave us." he shrugs.
  1006. Dec 06 18:30:39 <Ululane> "I'm not just a font of healing!"
  1007. Dec 06 18:31:10 <Ululane> "I don't even know what 'antiseptic' means!"
  1008. Dec 06 18:31:11 <Knox> "Fine, I won't ask again."
  1009. Dec 06 18:35:30 <Mako_K> Mako heads back to the shrine to guzzle his hidden potion stash. Two potions.
  1010. Dec 06 18:37:23 <Ululane> Melanie follows too...administer healing...where necessary...because she is apparently the group healer...
  1011. Dec 06 18:37:26 <Ululane> -o
  1012. Dec 06 18:37:56 <Knox> All Knox meant was for her to use her heal pulse, he wasn't even trying to implicate it was a role!
  1013. Dec 06 18:38:06 <Knox> Probably better saved for later anyway.
  1014. Dec 06 18:38:26 <Ululane> Definitely getting saved!
  1015. Dec 06 18:38:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> You all take a rest in the shrine, where despite the growing tension outside between the barbaracles and the sharks + crabs, you feel safe
  1016. Dec 06 18:39:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> And for NOW, unless you guys want SUPPLEMENTARY DIALOGUE, I'll call </session>
