  1. [11/2/2015 8:49:00 PM] Dan: When we last left off, the party had just arrived at the Ledgermain HQ. Luke has gone on ahead to party-knows-where, and they've just finished watching a "greeting" from Wallace and Ashton. There are two paths that are immediately obvious: left, right, and Dennis
  2. [11/2/2015 8:50:35 PM] Craig Allen: but we don't know where
  3. [11/2/2015 8:51:39 PM] Dawn Chen: *Cori hisses.
  4. <Cori> "F-fu-friggin' coward!" Cori grabs another Pokeball, sending out Moon Cake the Teddiursa.
  5. [11/2/2015 8:52:16 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Hey girl," she says, ruffling the bear Pokemon's fur. "Can you try to help us sniff out my grandma?"
  6. [11/2/2015 8:52:23 PM] Dawn Chen: *Moon Cake tilts her head back and sniffs the air!
  7. [11/2/2015 8:53:03 PM] Dan: (( That's a perception check, I believe. Use whatever die roller you like and post the result here. ))
  8. [11/2/2015 8:53:29 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Trying to find one, invisiblecastle is down and it's the one I usually use ))
  9. [11/2/2015 8:53:43 PM] Dan: (( Wizards of the Coast has a nice one. ))
  10. [11/2/2015 8:53:56 PM] Jon Blair: ((disagree, its randomness sucks)
  11. [11/2/2015 8:54:10 PM] Dan: (( It's worked for me plenty... ))
  12. [11/2/2015 8:54:48 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Ugh, found one, but it doesn't let you save actual roll results. I got a 10, if you're willing to trust me on it. ))
  13. [11/2/2015 8:54:51 PM] Craig Allen: it's step-seeded linear pseudorandom, which works for most purposes, but there is definitely a pattern
  14. [11/2/2015 8:55:12 PM] Craig Allen: not that it matters if you don't know the pattern
  15. [11/2/2015 8:55:42 PM] Dan: (( If you have maptools open, it works too. =p ))
  16. [11/2/2015 8:56:27 PM] Craig Allen: lol. the same RNG in maptools, so I can't imagine why the wotc one bothers him and not maptools
  17. [11/2/2015 8:56:43 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Anyways, I got a 10, as I mentioned above ))
  18. [11/2/2015 8:56:52 PM] Jon Blair: ((I never said the maptools one didn't bother me, in fact I've bitched about it before)
  19. [11/2/2015 8:57:12 PM] Craig Allen: that's nota bad idea though, I can just copypasta the maptools line into skype
  20. [11/2/2015 8:57:29 PM] Jon Blair: ((but if I have a choice at this time, I'm using random.org))
  21. [11/2/2015 8:57:33 PM] Dan: Moon Cake sniffs the air, but it seems pretty lost.
  22. [11/2/2015 8:57:54 PM] Craig Allen: (( god, I can't even remember what we were doing ))
  23. [11/2/2015 8:58:30 PM] Dawn Chen: (( It's only DC 8 to track down a smell you know. It's why I asked her to track Granny Bliss specifically. ))
  24. [11/2/2015 8:59:05 PM] Jon Blair: ((I'm sure there's applicable modifiers, or DM fiat here)
  25. [11/2/2015 8:59:45 PM] Dan: (( DC8 assuming you have something with her scent on it and there's a trail to be found. ))
  26. [11/2/2015 9:00:02 PM] Dan: (( As far as you know, neither is the case. ))
  27. [11/2/2015 9:01:44 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori sighs a bit. "It's okay, you did your best." She glances around at the rest of the group. "Do any of you have tracking Pokemon of your own?"
  28. [11/2/2015 9:02:14 PM] Craig Allen: I've got Maya, have you got a scent to track?
  29. [11/2/2015 9:02:34 PM] Craig Allen: Everett says, pulling out the zigzagoon
  30. [11/2/2015 9:02:58 PM] Jon Blair: I don't think Luca's ever seen any of the missing peoples Auras.
  31. [11/2/2015 9:03:02 PM] Dawn Chen: "Do you think she could pick up Grandma's scent? Or at least any human scent."
  32. [11/2/2015 9:03:13 PM] Dawn Chen: (( I know Kenta's Lucario has though. ))
  33. [11/2/2015 9:03:39 PM] Craig Allen: "Like I said, do you have something with her scent anywhere?"
  34. [11/2/2015 9:04:09 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori searches through her pockets, trying to see if there's anything from the bakery that she hasn't touched too much. (( Luck roll? ))
  35. [11/2/2015 9:05:39 PM] Dan: (( Are you asking for GM niceness? Because in this case, I think I can fairly rule that unless you specifically have an object with her scent on it, we can rule that possibility out. ))
  36. [11/2/2015 9:06:15 PM] Dawn Chen: (( I guess it's something along the lines of "they live in the same house, anything Cori has on her was probably touched by her grandmother as well" ))
  37. [11/2/2015 9:06:33 PM] Dan: There is a loud slamming noise to the left
  38. [11/2/2015 9:07:13 PM] Dawn Chen: "...maybe we should check that out first," says Cori.
  39. [11/2/2015 9:07:33 PM] Craig Allen: Everett recalls the zigzagoon
  40. 'Sorry Maya, maybe some other time"
  41. [11/2/2015 9:07:33 PM] Jon Blair: Okay, let's go.
  42. [11/2/2015 9:08:01 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori takes the lead, charging towards the left with Pepper perched on her shoulder and Moon Cake hurrying along behind.
  43. [11/2/2015 9:08:31 PM] Jon Blair: EL Fuerte, why don't you take a break, you must be tired after that last fight. Come on out Obsidian.
  44. [11/2/2015 9:09:32 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Jon, can you use quotation marks, or put Ryouta's name in front of his dialogue? Makes it easier to tell if he's speaking or if you're speaking OOC in this case ))
  45. [11/2/2015 9:09:48 PM] Jon Blair: ((I don't really want to do this over skype tbh...))
  46. [11/2/2015 9:10:12 PM] Jon Blair: ((and I've been using parenthesis like this whole time for OOC))
  47. [11/2/2015 9:10:13 PM] Dan: The party heads to the left and sees a place where it looks like the path would have split into two. However, both sides of the path, large metallic-looking slabs are blocking the way.
  48. [11/2/2015 9:10:45 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori knocks on one slab to see how thick it is.
  49. [11/2/2015 9:11:25 PM] Dan: There are three knocks back in reply
  50. [11/2/2015 9:11:26 PM] Jon Blair: ((yea, I've used parenthesis every time for ooc...))
  51. [11/2/2015 9:11:39 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Alright, fair enough ))
  52. [11/2/2015 9:12:02 PM] Dawn Chen: "..." Cori tries doing the "shave and a haircut" knock.
  53. [11/2/2015 9:12:34 PM] Dan: The knock responds in kind.
  54. [11/2/2015 9:12:51 PM] Jon Blair: ((and how thick did they sound, you didn't answer that, that was the initial point of the knocking, I too would like to know this information))
  55. [11/2/2015 9:13:00 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori tries knocking on the other slab.
  56. [11/2/2015 9:14:03 PM | Edited 9:15:15 PM] Craig Allen: (( metallic /looking/? ))
  57. [11/2/2015 9:15:35 PM] Dan: The other door responds in kind
  58. [11/2/2015 9:16:07 PM] Dan: (( As far as you can tell, they're pretty thick. The knocks aren't particularly loud, barely making it through. ))
  59. [11/2/2015 9:17:53 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori then bends down to see if there's any gap between the bottom of the doors and the floor.
  60. [11/2/2015 9:18:39 PM] Dan: The metal doors- if you can call them that- descend into the floor. You can probably assume they came from below.
  61. [11/2/2015 9:19:01 PM] Jon Blair: Ryouta starts looking around for any hidden buttons or anything, evil lairs always have hidden buttons he thinks
  62. [11/2/2015 9:19:43 PM] Dan: (( Perception, Ryouta. ))
  63. [11/2/2015 9:19:44 PM] Craig Allen: (( I thought this was an office building ))
  64. [11/2/2015 9:19:54 PM] Dan: (( It is. Or was. ))
  65. [11/2/2015 9:20:28 PM] Jon Blair: ((7 perception)
  66. [11/2/2015 9:22:39 PM] Dan: You don't see any hidden buttons anywhere.
  67. [11/2/2015 9:23:24 PM] Dawn Chen: "Got any ideas about structural weaknesses for something like this?" Cori asks Everett.
  68. [11/2/2015 9:25:34 PM] Dan: You hear frantic banging on the right-side door.
  69. [11/2/2015 9:26:56 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori immediately punches the door. (( * mac rolls: 4d6 => 14 Athletics ))
  70. [11/2/2015 9:27:07 PM] Jon Blair: ((so if I use teleporter out of combat it doesn't count for my scene use correct))
  71. [11/2/2015 9:27:31 PM] Caleb: ((yes, but you have to be able to see where your teleporting to))
  72. [11/2/2015 9:27:42 PM] Dawn Chen: (( It still counts as a Scene use, depending on how the GM divides up out-of-battle Scenes ))
  73. [11/2/2015 9:27:48 PM] Jon Blair: ((doesn't say that in the move description))
  74. [11/2/2015 9:27:57 PM] Caleb: ((if your referring to using your teleporter capacity?
  75. [11/2/2015 9:28:00 PM] Caleb: ))
  76. [11/2/2015 9:28:10 PM] Dan: (( Capability ))
  77. [11/2/2015 9:28:18 PM] Jon Blair: ((obsidian gets teleporter 4 capability from teleport))
  78. [11/2/2015 9:28:43 PM] Caleb: ((Peter had the same ability, you can use it to teleport, but you still need line of sight))
  79. [11/2/2015 9:28:46 PM] Dan: (( Teleporter capability is teleport movement. The Move Teleport is not consumed by the Teleporter Capability ))
  80. [11/2/2015 9:28:54 PM] Dan: (( and yes, you need line of sight. ))
  81. [11/2/2015 9:29:27 PM] Dan: (( Think of it as shifting, but using your Teleporter Capability Value instead of Overland ))
  82. [11/2/2015 9:30:00 PM] Dan: (( So you can move 4 spaces by teleporting. ))
  83. [11/2/2015 9:30:09 PM] Dawn Chen: (( What happens when Cori punches the door? ))
  84. [11/2/2015 9:30:18 PM] Dan: (( Ah, yes. Sorry. ))
  85. [11/2/2015 9:30:54 PM] Dan: Your blow leaves a very loud "thwump" noise on the door. It doesn't budge.
  86. [11/2/2015 9:31:13 PM] Jon Blair: Here, let me try.
  87. [11/2/2015 9:31:33 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori steps back to let Ryouta try. (( don't forget the bonus from the gloves I made you ))
  88. [11/2/2015 9:32:01 PM] Jon Blair: ((will fighting moves be super effective or would I be better off using chip away))
  89. [11/2/2015 9:32:08 PM] Jon Blair: ((since its a metal door))
  90. [11/2/2015 9:32:27 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Try a Fighting move first? ))
  91. [11/2/2015 9:32:32 PM] Dan: (( Either or ))
  92. [11/2/2015 9:32:49 PM] Dan: (( AC check first please. ))
  93. [11/2/2015 9:33:21 PM] Jon Blair: Ryouta tries first to use his patented triple kick on the door
  94. [11/2/2015 9:34:00 PM] Jon Blair: ((3, 4, natural 20/17))
  95. [11/2/2015 9:34:56 PM] Dan: (( All three hit ))
  96. [11/2/2015 9:36:03 PM] Jon Blair: ((2+4+10+21 = 37phyiscal fighting damage))
  97. [11/2/2015 9:36:18 PM] Jon Blair: ((wait
  98. [11/2/2015 9:36:29 PM] Jon Blair: ((I rolled wrong db, forgot +2 from technician))
  99. [11/2/2015 9:36:41 PM] Jon Blair: ((so I get 1 more d8))
  100. [11/2/2015 9:36:55 PM] Jon Blair: ((so 43 total))
  101. [11/2/2015 9:37:59 PM] Jon Blair: ((sweet gloves that make my kicks hurt more :P))
  102. [11/2/2015 9:38:39 PM] Craig Allen: (( Can we not do to hit rolls on inanimate objects outside of combat please? It's completely asinine. Nobody fails to hit their bowl of cereal with a spoon when they have plenty of time to aim, and critting a door doesn't even make sense ))
  103. [11/2/2015 9:38:52 PM] Dan: As Ryouta lines up his patented Triple Kick and lets loose, there's a loud "thwump" noise and the doors fall down- revealing a suddenly vulnerable Luke on the other side.
  104. [11/2/2015 9:39:21 PM] Jon Blair: ((I've nat 1'd a cereal bowl before....))
  105. [11/2/2015 9:39:35 PM] Craig Allen: (( lol... like... in his underwear vulnerable, or...?
  106. [11/2/2015 9:39:37 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Cori will dive to save Luke if it looks like the doors are going to hit him. ))
  107. [11/2/2015 9:39:50 PM] Craig Allen: (( I guarantee there were other circumstances in play ))
  108. [11/2/2015 9:39:56 PM] Dan: Luke has one hand lifted up as if to knock
  109. [11/2/2015 9:40:08 PM] Dan: He's hit by all three kicks
  110. [11/2/2015 9:40:19 PM] Dan: He also looks lightly singed.
  111. [11/2/2015 9:40:24 PM | Edited 9:40:32 PM] Caleb: Lukes eyes open wide as he sees only the soles of his "ally's" foot
  112. [11/2/2015 9:40:55 PM] Jon Blair: ((the doors fall before my kicks))
  113. [11/2/2015 9:41:00 PM] Dawn Chen: (( So Cori can't dive to intercept? ))
  114. [11/2/2015 9:41:09 PM] Craig Allen: Everett stares at Luke, totally unsurprised
  115. [11/2/2015 9:41:13 PM] Dan: (( I guess she can if you want to? ))
  116. [11/2/2015 9:41:18 PM] Jon Blair: ((shouldn't I get a save to try to cancel my kicks then... I am a trained martial artist))
  117. [11/2/2015 9:41:21 PM] Caleb: ((lets just say we are totally in sync on this one jon))
  118. [11/2/2015 9:41:21 PM] Craig Allen: "So how many times do we need to tell you to stick with us?"
  119. [11/2/2015 9:41:42 PM] Caleb: Luke is still trying to recover after getting kicked across the entire room
  120. [11/2/2015 9:41:45 PM] Dan: (( You were already too far into the motion to stop. ))
  121. [11/2/2015 9:41:52 PM] Dawn Chen: (( * mac rolls: 4d6 => 12 Athletics to intercept ))
  122. [11/2/2015 9:42:10 PM] Jon Blair: ((umm... a real martial artist can go full force on a punch and stop on a dime))
  123. [11/2/2015 9:42:17 PM] Dan: Down the left corridor, you hear a Scottish voice yelling "I got it!"
  124. [11/2/2015 9:42:35 PM] Dan: (( Jon, accept the answer and move on, please. Don't argue with me here and now. ))
  125. [11/2/2015 9:42:47 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Does that work? ))
  126. [11/2/2015 9:42:54 PM] Dan: (( It does. ))
  127. [11/2/2015 9:43:14 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori dives forward the instant she sees Luke, taking the kick to her side.
  128. [11/2/2015 9:43:24 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Nnngh! Luke, what happened to you?"
  129. [11/2/2015 9:43:56 PM] Caleb: Don't.... Press.... Buttons.... Get foot.... in face.....
  130. [11/2/2015 9:44:11 PM] Craig Allen: (( lol ))
  131. [11/2/2015 9:45:00 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori rubs her shoulder, the cut from the psychic blade starting to bleed a bit again.
  132. [11/2/2015 9:45:09 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Are you okay?"
  133. [11/2/2015 9:45:26 PM] Caleb: Me.... resty........ shade.... ok?
  134. [11/2/2015 9:46:08 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "I don't know. We heard a noise from this direction and came here. We just found the doors here."
  135. [11/2/2015 9:46:23 PM] Dan: Shade the Greninja hops down from the left corridor
  136. <Shade> "I got the door open, now we can..." he looks at Luke. "Oi. Turnabout is fair play, inn't laddie?" He smirks.
  137. [11/2/2015 9:46:46 PM] Caleb: You.... set.... me.... on fire.... you jerk.....
  138. [11/2/2015 9:47:01 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...what HAPPENED while we were separated?"
  139. [11/2/2015 9:47:21 PM] Dan: <Shade> "Buttons."
  140. [11/2/2015 9:47:29 PM] Jon Blair: And why did you split up from us again... It never goes well.
  141. [11/2/2015 9:48:18 PM] Caleb: We have.... to save... the world..... no time... for Luke grunts as he slowly gets up, supported by his shadow .... no time for looking.... at computers
  142. [11/2/2015 9:48:28 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori takes the opportunity while Luke is so close to hug him in a maternal manner.
  143. [11/2/2015 9:48:43 PM] Craig Allen: "I disagree. Often computers are the best world saving tools"
  144. [11/2/2015 9:48:51 PM] Jon Blair: We can't very well save the world without the proper supplies, now can we?
  145. [11/2/2015 9:49:40 PM] Caleb: I have all... my supplies on me..... lets not waste time, lets go!
  146. [11/2/2015 9:49:50 PM] Caleb: luke hobbles down the hallway
  147. [11/2/2015 9:49:52 PM] Dawn Chen: (( No reaction to the hug? ))
  148. [11/2/2015 9:50:17 PM] Caleb: ((he just got kicked in the face for massive damage, hes not really paying too much attention to his surroundings))
  149. [11/2/2015 9:50:35 PM] Dawn Chen: (( He didn't get kicked, Cori took the blow for him ))
  150. [11/2/2015 9:50:48 PM] Jon Blair: ((yea and you aren't paying full attention yourself))
  151. [11/2/2015 9:51:18 PM] Caleb: ((In that case, Luke is still recovering of the shock of everything that just happened))
  152. [11/2/2015 9:51:34 PM] Dan: (( Like barely avoiding a jet of fire. ))
  153. [11/2/2015 9:51:44 PM] Dan: (( Oh wait. That was shade who dodged. ))
  154. [11/2/2015 9:51:48 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Still, he should probably notice her hanging on to him when he tries to move, right? She's not letting go for a while. ))
  155. [11/2/2015 9:51:58 PM] Caleb: ((like opening a door, seeing feet flying towards him.... then cori jumping))
  156. [11/2/2015 9:52:20 PM] Caleb: luke glances to see cori hugging him "you know your not actually my mother right..."
  157. [11/2/2015 9:53:14 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...don't care." She finally lets go after a while, though.
  158. [11/2/2015 9:53:47 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Also, how injured is Luke? ))
  159. [11/2/2015 9:54:00 PM] Caleb: "Well... I'm gonna be gone from this world soon anyway, so we cant waste time on me... lets save your friend you lost...."
  160. [11/2/2015 9:55:05 PM] Craig Allen: "Hold on just a second."
  161. [11/2/2015 9:55:10 PM] Dan: (( Stat-wise, he's around half health, but not low enough to be injured. ))
  162. [11/2/2015 9:55:16 PM] Craig Allen: "How did you get on the other side of the door, and what did you find?"
  163. [11/2/2015 9:55:42 PM] Caleb: "I walked in... and pressed the fire button..... then the doors closed..."
  164. [11/2/2015 9:56:21 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori shoves a Super Potion into Luke's hands. "Drink this. We need everyone at full health for this." She grabs a Super Potion of her own and chugs it as well.
  165. [11/2/2015 9:56:43 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Ooh, when I get my hands on that Wallace-" the empty potion bottle -crack-s a bit in her hands.
  166. [11/2/2015 9:57:11 PM] Jon Blair: ... I'm sorry I hit you Cori, I didn't expect... all of that to happen
  167. [11/2/2015 9:57:22 PM] Caleb: Hands the potion back to cori "No thanks, Iv got my own" Pulls out a sparkling Lemonade and starts drinking it
  168. [11/2/2015 9:57:24 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "It's no problem. Barely felt that!"
  169. [11/2/2015 9:57:35 PM] Jon Blair: Somehow, I doubt that.
  170. [11/2/2015 9:58:34 PM] Dawn Chen: *Cori glances around the hallway they're in. Is there any way leading onwards, or is this a dead end?
  171. [11/2/2015 9:58:53 PM] Caleb: "This looks like a dead end... I'm not going back into that room though to check....
  172. [11/2/2015 9:59:15 PM] Dan: The hallway does in fact lead on further. It is not a dead end.
  173. [11/2/2015 9:59:32 PM] Caleb: ((on both sides?))
  174. [11/2/2015 9:59:51 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "No way we'd make you either."
  175. [11/2/2015 10:00:02 PM] Dan: (( Correct ))
  176. [11/2/2015 10:00:23 PM] Caleb: We need to split up though.... too much ground to cover in one group
  177. [11/2/2015 10:02:12 PM] Jon Blair: I don't think that's a good idea...
  178. [11/2/2015 10:02:35 PM] Craig Allen: If we do, keep the phones going, we need to know if anybody finds something
  179. [11/2/2015 10:03:26 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Do any of your Pokemon resist Fire?"
  180. [11/2/2015 10:04:05 PM] Jon Blair: No
  181. [11/2/2015 10:04:23 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Obsidian should, right? Since he's part-rock? ))
  182. [11/2/2015 10:04:48 PM] Caleb: I do have shade... he is a water type
  183. [11/2/2015 10:05:40 PM] Jon Blair: ((in that sense yes))
  184. [11/2/2015 10:06:31 PM] Craig Allen: Unfortunately fire is something of a bane for me
  185. [11/2/2015 10:06:56 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Where did the fire jet come from, as well? Maybe Pepper could fly over it."
  186. [11/2/2015 10:07:02 PM] Dawn Chen: * Pepper squawks at the sound of her name.
  187. [11/2/2015 10:07:15 PM] Caleb: The fire happened when I pushed the leaf button.....
  188. [11/2/2015 10:07:27 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "What other buttons were there?"
  189. [11/2/2015 10:07:38 PM] Caleb: fire and water....
  190. [11/2/2015 10:07:41 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Leaf.. button?"
  191. [11/2/2015 10:07:58 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori pulls out the somewhat-battered type chart Kenta made for her.
  192. [11/2/2015 10:08:20 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "So...does pressing a button make the opposite of that element appear?"
  193. [11/2/2015 10:08:47 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett contemplates pressing all of the buttons at once... for science"
  194. [11/2/2015 10:09:14 PM] Caleb: Shade: Ah peshed the leaf bhutton and geet fired tah
  195. [11/2/2015 10:10:00 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Where are the buttons? ))
  196. [11/2/2015 10:10:24 PM] Dan: (( Moment. Describing the room and such. ))
  197. [11/2/2015 10:12:39 PM] Dan: So. The path splits into two, divided by a wall. On both sides, there is a panel. These panels have three buttons. One red, with a flame symbol. One Green, with a leaf symbol. One blue with a water symbol. Ahead, it looks like some sort of wall has been lowered into the floor, making it possible to proceed past this point.
  198. [11/2/2015 10:13:29 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...do you think we need to press two buttons that cancel each other out at the same time?"
  199. [11/2/2015 10:13:53 PM] Jon Blair: Was that wall like that before Luke?
  200. [11/2/2015 10:14:36 PM] Caleb: yea..... lets not press any more buttons....
  201. [11/2/2015 10:14:50 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Couldn't hurt. we should try pressing leaf and fire at the same time. see if we can make steam"
  202. [11/2/2015 10:15:10 PM] Jon Blair: Why do we need to push buttons and take damage when we can keep going?
  203. [11/2/2015 10:15:20 PM] Caleb: I pressed the water button and the doors dropped....
  204. [11/2/2015 10:15:28 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Oh, whoops, misread. ))
  205. [11/2/2015 10:15:38 PM] Caleb: shade: ah lad! that's whah Ah did tae!!!
  206. [11/2/2015 10:15:45 PM | Edited 10:15:52 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Oh, right. Let's head on then."
  207. [11/2/2015 10:15:46 PM] Jon Blair: It's possible that Luke already did what may have been required in this room...
  208. [11/2/2015 10:16:01 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Sounds reasonable. I think we're done here, we should move on"
  209. [11/2/2015 10:16:18 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori sticks close to Luke as they continue on.
  210. [11/2/2015 10:17:21 PM] Dan: (( Is the party going left? Right? Splitting up? ))
  211. [11/2/2015 10:17:30 PM] Caleb: ((good question))
  212. [11/2/2015 10:17:55 PM] Dawn Chen: (( There's only one path up ahead, right? ))
  213. [11/2/2015 10:18:25 PM] Dan: (( Nope. The two corridors continue to split off ))
  214. [11/2/2015 10:18:25 PM] Jon Blair: ((yea i'm under the impression that only 1 wall fell from your descript))
  215. [11/2/2015 10:18:40 PM] Dan: (( Sorry. Walls on both sides fell ))
  216. [11/2/2015 10:19:13 PM] Craig Allen: (( I'm super confused. Any luck getting 1.4 to open? ))
  217. [11/2/2015 10:19:44 PM] Dan: (( I can make it open, it just can't run enough memory for the whole campaign file right now. ))
  218. [11/2/2015 10:20:07 PM] Jon Blair: ((and even if he could Hamachi is still telling me tunneling error
  219. [11/2/2015 10:20:14 PM] Dan: (( Yes, that too. ))
  220. [11/2/2015 10:21:36 PM] Dan: (( There are two corridors that continue on. Up to this point, each side has been identical. They are still split, and it is possible to continue down both hallways if you so desire. It is also possible to go back to the lobby and try the other path as well. ))
  221. [11/2/2015 10:22:42 PM] Caleb: I'm... gonna go down the left path....
  222. [11/2/2015 10:22:51 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "I'm coming with you."
  223. [11/2/2015 10:23:05 PM] Jon Blair: Then we should all go that way.
  224. [11/2/2015 10:23:27 PM] Caleb: what about the right path?
  225. [11/2/2015 10:23:39 PM] Jon Blair: We can always come back if this is the wrong way...
  226. [11/2/2015 10:24:07 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Yeah, as long as we remember which way we've gone already."
  227. [11/2/2015 10:24:43 PM] Caleb: your call...
  228. [11/2/2015 10:25:20 PM] Dan: (( So everyone is going left? ))
  229. [11/2/2015 10:25:25 PM] Jon Blair: ((aye))
  230. [11/2/2015 10:25:30 PM] Dawn Chen: (( I guess ))
  231. [11/2/2015 10:25:40 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Unless Craig disagrees ))
  232. [11/2/2015 10:26:04 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett pulls out a piece of chalk from his kit and draws a little X on the wall by the door, both sides*
  233. [11/2/2015 10:26:28 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "There we go. if we see this, we've been here before"
  234. [11/2/2015 10:26:52 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett stares at it for a moment, erases the X on the inside of the door and draws an O*
  235. [11/2/2015 10:27:00 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "And we know which way we wnet"
  236. [11/2/2015 10:27:28 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "X is where we've gone already, O is where we came from"
  237. [11/2/2015 10:28:32 PM] Dan: The party travels down the left side corridor and... are met with a wall. Similar to the ones at the entrance of this area, this one seems to come from the floor.
  238. [11/2/2015 10:29:37 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori looks for more buttons.
  239. [11/2/2015 10:29:42 PM] Craig Allen: (( That's it? just... a wall? ))
  240. [11/2/2015 10:30:47 PM] Dan: Yep. There's a wall.
  241. [11/2/2015 10:31:17 PM] Caleb: buttons.... probably on other side....
  242. [11/2/2015 10:31:22 PM] Dan: ...As a hint, I designed this place to have the party get stuck being split up along two different paths.
  243. [11/2/2015 10:32:19 PM | Edited 10:32:26 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Should we check out the other path?"
  244. [11/2/2015 10:32:22 PM] Craig Allen: (( Well don't ruin the surprise ))
  245. [11/2/2015 10:32:40 PM] Dan: (( That's not the whole surprise. It's me throwing you guys a bone. ))
  246. [11/2/2015 10:32:42 PM] Caleb: ill stay here.... to see if you guys can open the door or not
  247. [11/2/2015 10:32:43 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett, having verified that there are no buttons, is already walking the other direction*
  248. [11/2/2015 10:32:47 PM] Jon Blair: If theres nithing here we may as well
  249. [11/2/2015 10:32:52 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Other path"
  250. [11/2/2015 10:33:18 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Keep in contact, Luke."
  251. [11/2/2015 10:33:18 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett walks back and grabs Luke's hood*
  252. [11/2/2015 10:33:26 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Sticking together until we know what's going on"
  253. [11/2/2015 10:34:18 PM] Caleb: luke resists
  254. [11/2/2015 10:34:24 PM] Caleb: HEY!
  255. [11/2/2015 10:34:26 PM] Dan: (( Combat, both of you. ))
  256. [11/2/2015 10:34:35 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...I'll stay with him then." Cori tries to separate the two of them.
  257. [11/2/2015 10:34:38 PM] Caleb: I only survived that last trap because shade and I split up
  258. [11/2/2015 10:35:20 PM] Craig Allen: (Craig rolls: 2d6+2 => 3 + 2 = 5)
  259. [11/2/2015 10:35:24 PM | Edited 10:35:47 PM] Craig Allen: (( well that was special. I fold ))
  260. [11/2/2015 10:36:06 PM] Caleb: (my body stat means I auto beat that lol
  261. [11/2/2015 10:36:13 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "I suppose Ryouta and I'll go over there, you keep Kenta"
  262. [11/2/2015 10:36:16 PM] Dan: Okay then. Luke easily resists Everett's puny muscles
  263. [11/2/2015 10:36:37 PM] Jon Blair: Ok, let's go Everett
  264. [11/2/2015 10:37:22 PM] Caleb: ill sit here with kenta you all go ahead
  265. [11/2/2015 10:37:39 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "I'm staying with you two."
  266. [11/2/2015 10:38:00 PM] Caleb: fine
  267. [11/2/2015 10:38:51 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "man, we really should get a chansey or something for situations like this"
  268. [11/2/2015 11:15:18 PM] Dan: Everett arrives in the left corridor
  269. [11/2/2015 11:15:25 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett shouts from down the hall*
  270. [11/2/2015 11:15:32 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "HEY. Small problem"
  271. [11/2/2015 11:15:44 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "What is it?"
  272. [11/2/2015 11:16:31 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Ryouta's stuck in between two doors with a rope and somebody's bird"
  273. [11/2/2015 11:16:44 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "He went on ahead to check out the rope while I was trying button combinations"
  274. [11/2/2015 11:16:58 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "And I uh... found the right one"
  275. [11/2/2015 11:17:40 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Are you talking about Pepper? She had a note for you two."
  276. [11/2/2015 11:18:06 PM | Edited 11:18:34 PM] Caleb: did you try this button combo gestures to the wall
  277. [11/2/2015 11:18:08 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "yeah, she showed up by Ryouta... I didn't get the note"
  278. [11/2/2015 11:18:38 PM] Dan: ((( She showed up on your side. Ryouta was the one who didn't get the note. ))
  279. [11/2/2015 11:18:40 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "It's too hard to yell through the door"
  280. [11/2/2015 11:19:15 PM] Craig Allen: (( wait what? ))
  281. [11/2/2015 11:19:22 PM] Dawn Chen: (( what wall? ))
  282. [11/2/2015 11:19:26 PM] Craig Allen: (( Oh, in that case, I bring pepper back ))
  283. [11/2/2015 11:19:59 PM] Dan: (( I'm confused what made you think Pepper was on the other side. ))
  284. [11/2/2015 11:20:08 PM] Craig Allen: (( and shout "LEFT, RIGHT, MIDDLE" as I approach "AND ALSO WE HAVE A PROBLEM"))
  285. [11/2/2015 11:20:40 PM | Edited 11:21:42 PM] Craig Allen: (( You never mentioned me actually finding pepper, I assumed I missed it in the flow of chat and Ryouta was doing something with it, sorreh ))
  286. [11/2/2015 11:21:10 PM] Craig Allen: (( And then I explain the above and hand Cori the note back ))
  287. [11/2/2015 11:21:59 PM | Edited 11:22:30 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "What kind of rope?"
  288. [11/2/2015 11:22:34 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Dunno. Just like... a length of rope sticking out of a hole in the wall. He pulled on it, but... nothing"
  289. [11/2/2015 11:23:12 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Also, before you hit those buttons, let me run back over to the other panel, I have a feeling it's going to close that door and open the one leading to Ryouta"
  290. [11/2/2015 11:23:51 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett says pointing to the door in the floor just behind him*
  291. [11/2/2015 11:24:16 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori nods, before heading back down the corridor, making sure that Luke is with her.
  292. [11/2/2015 11:24:44 PM] Caleb: luke follows cori
  293. [11/2/2015 11:24:57 PM] Caleb: maybe I should go... my shadow might help ryouta
  294. [11/2/2015 11:25:17 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Trade places, then?"
  295. [11/2/2015 11:25:29 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Sounds good to me."
  296. [11/2/2015 11:25:31 PM] Caleb: sure
  297. [11/2/2015 11:25:40 PM] Caleb: *luke heads off towards ryouta
  298. [11/2/2015 11:25:51 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Alright, I'll stay here then"
  299. [11/2/2015 11:26:10 PM] Dawn Chen: (( I thought Everett was heading down the left with Cori? ))
  300. [11/2/2015 11:26:16 PM] Craig Allen: (( should I drop out of the Right corridor chat and get added to the left? ))
  301. [11/2/2015 11:26:35 PM] Craig Allen: (( that's what I meant, as in, stay with this group ))
  302. [11/2/2015 11:26:58 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett follows Cori back down the hall*
  303. [11/2/2015 11:46:08 PM] Jon Blair: ((did those gloves cori made give +1 or +2 to power)
  304. [11/2/2015 11:46:31 PM] Dawn Chen: (( +1 to power, +2 to athletics checks ))
  305. [11/2/2015 11:48:06 PM] Dan: As Cori and Ryouta pull on the ropes, they both feel something give way, and continue to pull their ropes out. Slowly, the walls that were blocking their way rise up and clear the path, leading into a single room where everyone is able to gather again.
  306. [11/2/2015 11:48:45 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Should we wait for Craig a moment? ))
  307. [11/2/2015 11:49:26 PM] Jon Blair: ((it is almost midnight too))
  308. [11/2/2015 11:50:17 PM] Dan: In this room is what appears to be a series of what looks like elevators. Each of them has two signs in front of them, one sign in each of those pairs marked with "Trainer Capacity 1". The other signs have symbols: There is a fist, a ghost, a gear, some sort of shiny-looking square, and a question mark.
  309. [11/2/2015 11:50:26 PM] Dan: and this is where we'll end for the night
  310. [11/2/2015 11:51:17 PM] Dan: So! Trainer Experience! 4 for everyone for completing a series of challenging puzzles that required you to work as a team.
  311. [11/2/2015 11:51:47 PM] Dan: I am also granting you all 200 Pokémon experience for your pools, which I hope you share the love.
  312. [11/2/2015 11:52:43 PM] Dan: There is more to talk about, concerning this next part, but I'll talk about that tomorrow, after we've all gotten some sleep. But for now, good campaign everyone!
  313. [11/2/2015 11:52:44 PM] Craig Allen: (( sorry, back))
  314. [11/2/2015 11:52:52 PM] Craig Allen: (( damnit ))
  315. [11/2/2015 11:53:02 PM] Dan: (( It's k. You didn't miss much. ))
  316. [11/2/2015 11:53:10 PM] Dan: (( Just wrapping up for the night ))
  317. [11/2/2015 11:53:11 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Cori had a question for Everett ))
  318. [11/2/2015 11:53:17 PM] Dawn Chen: (( In the side chat ))
  319. [11/2/2015 11:53:22 PM] Dan: (( He is welcome to answer it. ))
  320. [11/2/2015 11:56:03 PM] Craig Allen: (( sorry, yeah, getting that ))
  321. [11/2/2015 11:58:06 PM] Craig Allen: (( there we go. ))
  322.  
  323. [11/2/2015 10:36:54 PM] *** Dan has renamed this conversation to "Tamers Left Corridor" ***
  324. [11/2/2015 10:37:15 PM] Dan: *Luke and Cori are left alone in the Left Corridor.
  325. [11/2/2015 10:37:55 PM] Dawn Chen: (( And Kenta, right? ))
  326. [11/2/2015 10:38:07 PM] Dan: Sure
  327. [11/2/2015 10:38:53 PM] Dawn Chen: *Cori leans against the door.
  328. [11/2/2015 10:40:23 PM] Dawn Chen: "Luke...like I said, I care about you. I don't care whether or not I'm your real mom. Family's...really important to me, you know."
  329. [11/2/2015 10:41:51 PM] Caleb: Yea.... but... its kinda creeps me out... you treat me like I'm your son... but theres no relation..... and Iv only known you for like a week
  330. [11/2/2015 10:44:02 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori pauses. "That's true..." she says at last. "But...I mean, you called me 'mom' first."
  331. [11/2/2015 10:45:38 PM] Caleb: I also had someone holding me up in the air by my neck ready to kill me....
  332. [11/2/2015 10:46:41 PM] Dawn Chen: "I wasn't sure about your intentions then. I'm really sorry for scaring you like that."
  333. [11/2/2015 10:47:31 PM] Dawn Chen: "And...from what you've said, your life in that other world wasn't that good. So...it's just a general desire to give you a better family. I don't just feel that towards you, after all."
  334. [11/2/2015 10:49:04 PM] Caleb: It wasn't bad... just lonely.... I was promised so much over here... but it all turned out to be just like a 2 week vacation with people then its over....
  335. [11/2/2015 10:50:57 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...promised by who, anyways?"
  336. [11/2/2015 10:51:12 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Professor Oak?"
  337. [11/2/2015 10:51:41 PM] Caleb: Yea... didn't he tell you?
  338. [11/2/2015 10:52:10 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "He told us what we'd have to do initially, but not about you appearing."
  339. [11/2/2015 10:53:03 PM] Caleb: well... it was kinda last minute.... it was kinda confusing... they started shouting... alarms started blaring....
  340. [11/2/2015 10:53:19 PM] Caleb: something about one of them falling or something like that
  341. [11/2/2015 10:53:44 PM] Caleb: then they gave me stuff and shoved me through a portal
  342. [11/2/2015 10:54:06 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "They? You keep saying that...so it wasn't just Oak?"
  343. [11/2/2015 10:54:26 PM] Caleb: Oak... my parents... theres a few of us over there... not many though
  344. [11/2/2015 10:55:02 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...what do you mean, 'not many'?"
  345. [11/2/2015 10:55:28 PM] Caleb: well.... compared to here... no matter where you look there are so many people!
  346. [11/2/2015 10:55:31 PM] Caleb: all in one place
  347. [11/2/2015 10:55:36 PM] Caleb: like everywhere!!!
  348. [11/2/2015 10:56:28 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...yeah, I guess it'd be weird, if you weren't used to that."
  349. [11/2/2015 10:57:05 PM] Caleb: yea... theres like maybe 15 of us in my home town.... and for quite a ways
  350. [11/2/2015 10:57:25 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...if it's not too much...what are your parents like, then? They let you go on this mission all by yourself?"
  351. [11/2/2015 10:58:45 PM] Caleb: well.... I get this feeling they don't exactly know what they are doing.... they were always busy doing work with professor oak, leaving me up to my own devices most of the time... that's how I met shade.... exploring the wilderness!
  352. [11/2/2015 10:58:50 PM] Caleb: shade nods acknowlingly
  353. [11/2/2015 10:59:22 PM] Caleb: he was the one who helped me learn to be a ninja... a person of the dark.... to embrace the darkness.... Lukes shadow starts walking around
  354. [11/2/2015 10:59:38 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori watches the shadow for a bit.
  355. [11/2/2015 11:00:48 PM] Caleb: But I really don't know what my parents or oak were up to... always working... monitoring stuff... talking about the corruptor or what not..... I was too busy trying to keep myself busy... no other kids around you know
  356. [11/2/2015 11:01:21 PM] Dan: The metallic slab you call a door suddenly slides into the floor below. On the other side, you see the corridor continues, and immediately on the other side, there's a machine with three buttons and a signpost
  357. [11/2/2015 11:01:36 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Can we post calls in the main chat? ))
  358. [11/2/2015 11:01:45 PM] Dan: The signpost reads "Green, Emerald, Crystal"
  359. [11/2/2015 11:01:50 PM | Edited 11:02:03 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori gets up and approaches the buttons.
  360. [11/2/2015 11:02:04 PM] Caleb: well... that doesn't help at all......
  361. [11/2/2015 11:02:12 PM] Dan: Strangely, phone calls are being blocked in this area. You'll have to get creative with your communication methods
  362. [11/2/2015 11:02:32 PM] Dawn Chen: (( Can I just say that Cori has paper and pencil on her? ))
  363. [11/2/2015 11:03:07 PM] Dan: (( I think that's fine. ))
  364. [11/2/2015 11:03:46 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori looks at the buttons, before scribbling a description of them, along with the words on the signpost, on a piece of paper, and handing the paper to Pepper.
  365. [11/2/2015 11:04:29 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Pepper, take this back down that way, and go down the other corridor until you find Everett and Ryouta. Show this to them and give them a chance to write a reply before bringing it back."
  366. [11/2/2015 11:08:01 PM] Dan: *Pepper nods and heads off with the note.
  367. [11/2/2015 11:09:03 PM] Dawn Chen: (( What do the buttons look like, btw? ))
  368. [11/2/2015 11:09:39 PM] Dan: (( Just plain white buttons with no markings whatsoever. ))
  369. [11/2/2015 11:09:42 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...I can't believe he actually took the time to create so many elaborate puzzles."
  370. [11/2/2015 11:10:37 PM] Caleb: Yea... this doesn't seem practical in any way for base defences....
  371. [11/2/2015 11:11:34 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "...I hope this isn't a wild-goose chase meant to distract us."
  372. [11/2/2015 11:12:14 PM] Dan: (( I make no such promises. ))
  373. [11/2/2015 11:12:41 PM] Caleb: ... it does sound like something some lunatic would make just to watch us suffer as he gazes on from above through his computer....
  374. [11/2/2015 11:12:58 PM] Caleb: luke looks around for any cameras
  375. [11/2/2015 11:13:10 PM] Dan: (( I'm kidding. There is rhyme and reason. ))
  376. [11/2/2015 11:13:18 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "I mean, doesn't he WANT to meet up with us? What purpose does this serve except...oh. He might be trying to have us use up our healing items before facing us."
  377. [11/2/2015 11:13:30 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Or stall for time for some other purpose."
  378. [11/2/2015 11:13:57 PM] Caleb: This is probably just for his own sadistic pleasure
  379. [11/2/2015 11:14:35 PM] Caleb: I mean... this hallway is taking up... what? most of this building he had to redesign without causing the entire building to collapse?
  380. [11/2/2015 11:26:09 PM] *** Dan removed Caleb from this conversation. ***
  381. [11/2/2015 11:26:14 PM] *** Dan added Craig Allen ***
  382. [11/2/2015 11:27:01 PM] Dan: (( And thus, Everett switches with Luke ))
  383. [11/2/2015 11:27:25 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "So where are these buttons?"
  384. [11/2/2015 11:27:30 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori looks a bit awkward as she heads down the corridor with Everett.
  385. [11/2/2015 11:27:42 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Where'd Kenta go?"
  386. [11/2/2015 11:27:44 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Oh-um, right there!" She points to a set of buttons right up ahead.
  387. [11/2/2015 11:28:00 PM] Dawn Chen: (( I assume he's still there? Unless Dan has other ideas. ))
  388. [11/2/2015 11:28:07 PM] Dan: (( Yes, he is. ))
  389. [11/2/2015 11:28:17 PM] Dan: <Kenta> "I'm still here."
  390. [11/2/2015 11:28:38 PM] Dan: (( Just a little focused on all the back-and forth between the two groups. ))
  391. [11/2/2015 11:29:17 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori leans against the wall a bit. "So...um...the two of us actually haven't talked much, have we?" she says to Everett.
  392. [11/2/2015 11:30:13 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Not really. I suppose I've been following Ryouta around since this whole mess started, keeping him out of trouble"
  393. [11/2/2015 11:30:56 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Heh...hope he doesn't get into too much trouble with just Luke beside him."
  394. [11/2/2015 11:30:56 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett doublechecks the sign to be sure it says "Green Emerald Crystal" then presses the buttons calmly, Left, Right, Middle
  395. [11/2/2015 11:31:14 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "How did you know that anyways?"
  396. [11/2/2015 11:31:30 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Well I figure, if they're going to blow something up, at least it's an abandoned building"
  397. [11/2/2015 11:31:41 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Know what?"
  398. [11/2/2015 11:32:21 PM] Dan: The wall pulls itself up out of the floor, preventing you from going any further back
  399. [11/2/2015 11:32:25 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "The order of the buttons...and my grandmother is here as well, you know. As well as Archie, but he can probably take care of himself. And maybe the other members of Legerdemain."
  400. [11/2/2015 11:32:42 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "You... sent me a note?"
  401. [11/2/2015 11:33:30 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "I meant, which ones to press."
  402. [11/2/2015 11:33:45 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Oh. Right."
  403. [11/2/2015 11:34:29 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "We're in the evil lair of the pokemon nut brain-boy from school. he's using the generations of games as numbers"
  404. [11/2/2015 11:35:27 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Red/Blue/Green/Yellow is 1, Gold/Silver/Crystal is 2, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is 3, and I guess if we get a 4th button at somepoint, he'll use Diamond/Pearl/Platinum"
  405. [11/2/2015 11:35:44 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori nods. "Good to know. Shall we head on then?"
  406. [11/2/2015 11:35:51 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "And the buttons are 1, 2, 3, left to right"
  407. [11/2/2015 11:35:57 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Indeed
  408. [11/2/2015 11:36:18 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Or... actually I guess we're blocked in now"
  409. [11/2/2015 11:36:28 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "All that did was close the door behind us"
  410. [11/2/2015 11:36:58 PM] Dan: Further ahead in the corridor, you can see what looks like a knotted rope just barely sticking out of the wall.
  411. [11/2/2015 11:37:13 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "So...that the same rope that Ryouta got in trouble with?"
  412. [11/2/2015 11:37:27 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett Facepalms*
  413. [11/2/2015 11:37:27 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Maybe we just need to pull it at the same time?"
  414. [11/2/2015 11:37:33 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "I think it's the other end of the rope"
  415. [11/2/2015 11:38:08 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori walks over to take hold loosely of the rope and see if she can feel it being pulled.
  416. [11/2/2015 11:38:27 PM] Dan: The rope is currently quite loose, actually.
  417. [11/2/2015 11:38:30 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "He probably gave up yonking on it a while ago"
  418. [11/2/2015 11:38:42 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "give it a pull and see if he gts the idea"
  419. [11/2/2015 11:38:55 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Maybe... two short tugs?"
  420. [11/2/2015 11:40:06 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori tugs the rope twice.
  421. [11/2/2015 11:41:37 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "If we get further in, remind me to come untie the rope and take it out so we have a hole to shout through"
  422. [11/2/2015 11:42:46 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori nods.
  423. [11/2/2015 11:42:53 PM] Craig Allen: (( brb, bathroom ))
  424. [11/2/2015 11:43:46 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "So...um...I've been making enchanted items for everyone else, that sort of enhance their natural abilities. But...well, I'm not quite sure what to make for you. You have so many talents. So...I guess I should just ask you if there's any enhancement you want?"
  425. [11/2/2015 11:45:11 PM] Dan: Cori, the rope suddenly pulls back in your hands. Hard
  426. [11/2/2015 11:46:01 PM] Dawn Chen: * Cori yelps and tries to hang on to the rope. (( * mac rolls: 4d6 => 13 Athletics ))
  427. [11/2/2015 11:48:12 PM] Dawn Chen: (( How big is the hole the rope is sticking out of? ))
  428. [11/2/2015 11:54:11 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Erm... I dunno. I'm not really familiar with magic of any kind."
  429. [11/2/2015 11:55:44 PM | Edited 11:57:54 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Got anything that would help with all this new technology? I've been pretty stumped on what to do with all these strange gadgets and pokemon powers lately. Does that even work magic and technology? Or maybe just a good luck charm? we've been having an awful set of bad luck lately"
  430. [11/2/2015 11:58:50 PM] Dawn Chen: <Cori> "Luck I can do, definitely. As for technology...I'll have to work on it a bit more, I'd guess." She pauses. "Could I borrow that scouting device of yours sometime? I think I could add an enchantment to it without damaging its base effect."
  431. [11/3/2015 12:01:29 AM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Sure. just let me know before we leave. I don't actually get a lot of use out of it at home."
  432. [11/3/2015 12:01:43 AM] Dawn Chen: * Cori nods as they head on into the larger room.
  433.  
  434. [11/2/2015 10:37:44 PM] *** Dan has renamed this conversation to "Tamers Right Corridor" ***
  435. [11/2/2015 10:38:32 PM] Dan: The pair of you head down the right hand corridor. There is a machine with three buttons on it, and a sign.
  436. [11/2/2015 10:39:08 PM] Jon Blair: ((what does the sign say))
  437. [11/2/2015 10:39:25 PM] Craig Allen: (( is the sign blank or can we just not read it? ))
  438. [11/2/2015 10:39:28 PM] Dan: The sign reads three words: Ruby, Blue, Silver.
  439. [11/2/2015 10:39:42 PM] Craig Allen: (( what kind of buttons? ))
  440. [11/2/2015 10:40:14 PM] Dan: The corridor also continues further along the way. Ah, also important, you went down some stairs to get here.
  441. [11/2/2015 10:40:29 PM] Dan: The buttons are unmarked and a plain white color
  442. [11/2/2015 10:40:38 PM] Craig Allen: Floor B1, Check.
  443. [11/2/2015 10:41:02 PM] Jon Blair: Well does this make any sense to you Everett, or should we keep going down this hallway?
  444. [11/2/2015 10:41:55 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "My instinct says release order, so middle, right, left. I'm not sure, though. what's down the hall?"
  445. [11/2/2015 10:42:32 PM] Craig Allen: *Evrett scratches his chin*
  446. [11/2/2015 10:42:33 PM] Dan: In the distance, you can see some stairs leading back up.
  447. [11/2/2015 10:43:08 PM] Dan: (( brb gotta grab laundry ))
  448. [11/2/2015 10:43:09 PM] Jon Blair: Lets see where it leads or if its a dead end
  449. [11/2/2015 10:43:24 PM | Edited 10:46:14 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett walks own the hall and pokes his head up the stairs to take a look*
  450. [11/2/2015 10:46:21 PM] Dan: (( And back ))
  451. [11/2/2015 10:46:31 PM] Craig Allen: (( wb ))
  452. [11/2/2015 10:46:47 PM] Dan: There appears to be another wall similar to the last ones, and a length of rope.
  453. [11/2/2015 10:47:10 PM] Craig Allen: (( just lying on the ground or is it connected to something? ))
  454. [11/2/2015 10:47:28 PM] Dan: The length of rope is protruding from the wall (sorry, should have mentioned that immediately)
  455. [11/2/2015 10:48:34 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Well... do we want to press buttons or pull a rope?"
  456. [11/2/2015 10:49:02 PM] Jon Blair: I guess we could try the buttons...
  457. [11/2/2015 10:49:28 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "yeah, we should probably do something with those before we forget them"
  458. [11/2/2015 10:50:05 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Stand back a sec"
  459. [11/2/2015 10:50:07 PM] Craig Allen: *wandering back down the stairs, Everett takes a look at the buttons
  460. [11/2/2015 10:50:25 PM] Craig Allen: *and presses the middle one, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth*
  461. [11/2/2015 10:51:11 PM] Dan: there's a beeping noise, as if confirming the button press. Nothing happens.
  462. [11/2/2015 10:51:32 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett raises his eyebrows, then presses the right button*
  463. [11/2/2015 10:52:01 PM] Dan: There's another beeping noise
  464. [11/2/2015 10:52:05 PM] Craig Allen: *and the left*
  465. [11/2/2015 10:52:31 PM] Dan: There's another beeping noise, followed by a loud buzzing. Nothing happens.
  466. [11/2/2015 10:52:54 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett scratches his chin*
  467. [11/2/2015 10:53:08 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "you wanna try?"
  468. [11/2/2015 10:53:20 PM] Jon Blair: Maybe the buttons are in order of generations or whatever, and the sign is the order to push them
  469. [11/2/2015 10:53:22 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Obviously they're not a fan of pokemon"
  470. [11/2/2015 10:53:36 PM] Jon Blair: I don't know the orders though...
  471. [11/2/2015 10:54:12 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Red/Blue, then Gold/Silver, then Ruby/Sapphire" I just tried that, though.
  472. [11/2/2015 10:54:24 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Maybe newest to oldest?
  473. [11/2/2015 10:54:41 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett pushes the buttons, left, right, middle*
  474. [11/2/2015 10:54:58 PM] Jon Blair: You push buttons I'll go to the rope, maybe they are connected
  475. [11/2/2015 10:55:00 PM] Dan: Bzzzt
  476. [11/2/2015 10:55:09 PM | Edited 10:55:16 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Yep, obviously not a pokemon fan"
  477. [11/2/2015 10:55:25 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Lets try brute force. there's only 8 combos"
  478. [11/2/2015 10:55:32 PM] Jon Blair: Ask the other guys if anything happened?
  479. [11/2/2015 10:55:34 PM] Dan: Ruby. Blue. Silver.
  480. [11/2/2015 10:55:42 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett pushes the buttons again, left, middle, right*
  481. [11/2/2015 10:56:01 PM] Dan: Bzzt
  482. [11/2/2015 10:56:20 PM] Craig Allen: *left right middle*
  483. [11/2/2015 10:56:46 PM] Dan: (( Are you seriously gonna just type up combinations until you get the right one? ))
  484. [11/2/2015 10:58:05 PM | Edited 10:58:27 PM] Craig Allen: (( well there's only 8 combinations, and the sign clearly isn't labeling which place in the order each button should be pushed in ))
  485. [11/2/2015 10:58:55 PM] Dan: (( ...this is why I should remember to put in punishments for failing puzzles. ))
  486. [11/2/2015 10:59:23 PM] Craig Allen: (( and yes, nothing bad appears to be happening when we get it wrong ))
  487. [11/2/2015 10:59:52 PM] Craig Allen: (( so I guess... unless something changes, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321 ))
  488. [11/2/2015 11:00:01 PM] Dan: When you punch in right, left, middle, a large metallic slab appears from the celing, blocking the path. It looks identical to the doors you've encountered.
  489. [11/2/2015 11:00:21 PM] Jon Blair: Oh great, so we've locked ourselves in...
  490. [11/2/2015 11:00:30 PM] Dan: Unfortunately, this actually splits you up, since Ryouta went on ahead to mess with the rope
  491. [11/2/2015 11:00:39 PM] Craig Allen: (( blocking the way back to the others, or the way forward? ))
  492. [11/2/2015 11:01:38 PM] Craig Allen: (( Ah. ))
  493. [11/2/2015 11:01:46 PM] Jon Blair: ((so it's me, and a rope stuck between 2 metal doors?)
  494. [11/2/2015 11:02:02 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Ohh... that could be a problem"
  495. [11/2/2015 11:02:36 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett presses the buttons again, 3 1 2*
  496. [11/2/2015 11:02:40 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "Maybe it's a toggle"
  497. [11/2/2015 11:02:41 PM] Dan: (( I'll at least be nice enough to say you can hear each other. ))
  498. [11/2/2015 11:02:56 PM] Dan: Nothing happens
  499. [11/2/2015 11:03:13 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "HEY RYOUTA. TRY PULLING THE ROPE"
  500. [11/2/2015 11:03:15 PM] Jon Blair: ((don't we have our phones anyways)
  501. [11/2/2015 11:03:25 PM] Jon Blair: Ryouta pulls the rope.
  502. [11/2/2015 11:04:03 PM] Dan: The rope extends a fair ways out before becoming stuck, still firmly in the wall.
  503. [11/2/2015 11:04:29 PM] Jon Blair: Ryouta texts Everett: Nothing happened
  504. [11/2/2015 11:04:35 PM] Craig Allen: (( Oh, right, phones ))
  505. [11/2/2015 11:04:48 PM] Craig Allen: (( do we have service in here? ))
  506. [11/2/2015 11:04:59 PM] Dan: (( Nope. Get creative. Speaking of which... ))
  507. [11/2/2015 11:05:31 PM] Dan: Down the hallway, you hear a fluttering noise of wings. A grey bird-like pokemon approaches, bearing a sheet of paper in its mouth.
  508. [11/2/2015 11:05:38 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett taps on the actual walls of the corridor*
  509. [11/2/2015 11:05:51 PM] Craig Allen: (( what is the rest of the hallway made of? ))
  510. [11/2/2015 11:06:01 PM] Dan: (( Unobtainium ))
  511. [11/2/2015 11:06:14 PM] Jon Blair: Obsidian, let Everett know nothing happened.
  512. [11/2/2015 11:06:36 PM] Jon Blair: ((Obsidian is a telepath, and Everett receives the feeling of nothingness))
  513. [11/2/2015 11:06:47 PM] Craig Allen: (( oh, good, then they're nice and breakable ))
  514. [11/2/2015 11:08:37 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett looks back down the path, to see if he can still get back to the rest of the group*
  515. [11/2/2015 11:09:09 PM] Craig Allen: <Everett> "HOLD ON A SECOND. I"LL SEE IF I CAN FIND SOMEONE TO HELP"
  516. [11/2/2015 11:09:16 PM] Dan: You recognize the bird as Pepper, one of Coriander's mon. The note reads out some information she's uncovered: The wall went down into the floor. There is a machine with three buttons. A sign reads "Green, Emerald, Crystal". Not in the note, Pepper is also holding a pencil.
  517. [11/2/2015 11:10:03 PM] Jon Blair: ((brb))
  518. [11/2/2015 11:10:23 PM] Dan: (( Never seen that one before. ))
  519. [11/2/2015 11:10:46 PM] Jon Blair: ((it happened when I typed It in the double parenthesis, on that note tho, brb))
  520. [11/2/2015 11:11:02 PM] Craig Allen: *Everett walks back down the corridor to see if he can reach the other group*
  521. [11/2/2015 11:11:18 PM] Dan: ((...are you just ignoring the messenger bird?))
  522. [11/2/2015 11:11:35 PM | Edited 11:11:52 PM] Craig Allen: (( I'm guessing you're talking about an emoticon, because parentheses and things I can't see ))
  523. [11/2/2015 11:12:09 PM] Craig Allen: (( (I disabled emoticons and rich text formatting) ))
  524. [11/2/2015 11:12:36 PM] Dan: (( Messenger bird was not an emoticon. But yes, the brb thing is an emoticon. ))
  525. [11/2/2015 11:13:27 PM] Craig Allen: (( so while he's thoroughly reading the note, is there a path back? ))
  526. [11/2/2015 11:14:03 PM] Dan: (( Yeah. The path back isn't hampered. ))
  527. [11/2/2015 11:14:28 PM] Craig Allen: I guess I'll go find the other group and inform them that shit just happened
  528. [11/2/2015 11:14:56 PM] Dan: (( Alright. I think you can post that much in the main chat ))
  529. [11/2/2015 11:19:14 PM] Jon Blair: ((back)
  530. [11/2/2015 11:25:48 PM] *** Dan removed Craig Allen from this conversation. ***
  531. [11/2/2015 11:25:54 PM] *** Dan added Caleb ***
  532. [11/2/2015 11:26:29 PM] Caleb: luke shows up to survey the situation
  533. [11/2/2015 11:26:35 PM] Caleb: Ryouta....?
  534. [11/2/2015 11:26:38 PM] Dan: (( and thus, Luke switches with Everett ))
  535. [11/2/2015 11:27:04 PM] Jon Blair: ((where are you and how loud did yous ay that, I may not have heard you)
  536. [11/2/2015 11:27:21 PM] Caleb: ((Its pretty loud, hes calling out down the hall))
  537. [11/2/2015 11:27:32 PM] Dan: (( He just arrived in the corridor where the wall dropped down. You can hear him. ))
  538. [11/2/2015 11:27:43 PM] Jon Blair: What?
  539. [11/2/2015 11:27:51 PM] Caleb: What happened?!
  540. [11/2/2015 11:28:06 PM] Jon Blair: Everett pushed some buttons and the door shut
  541. [11/2/2015 11:28:42 PM] Caleb: hmmmmm do you know what buttons he pressed?
  542. [11/2/2015 11:28:55 PM] Jon Blair: How should I know, I was nowhere near him
  543. [11/2/2015 11:29:50 PM] Caleb: Does Green, Emerald, Crystal mean anything to you?
  544. [11/2/2015 11:30:17 PM] Jon Blair: Not at all. Everett mentioned something about generations, I think it has to do with the Pokémon video games
  545. [11/2/2015 11:30:38 PM] Caleb: so.... as someone who has no idea what any of that means... what order are they in?
  546. [11/2/2015 11:30:51 PM] Jon Blair: I don't have a clue, I've never played the games
  547. [11/2/2015 11:32:03 PM] Caleb: You hear a loud thunk... like a very very hard facepalm
  548. [11/2/2015 11:32:49 PM] Dan: The wall suddenly goes upwards into the ceiling, allowing you to continue unhindered.
  549. [11/2/2015 11:32:59 PM] Caleb: Hey! it worked!
  550. [11/2/2015 11:32:59 PM] Jon Blair: ((who)
  551. [11/2/2015 11:33:12 PM] Jon Blair: ((what wall)
  552. [11/2/2015 11:33:38 PM] Dan: (( The one that was splitting Ryouta off from Luke. ))
  553. [11/2/2015 11:33:59 PM] Dan: (( The door further down the corridor is still closed ))
  554. [11/2/2015 11:34:02 PM] Jon Blair: So we are back to square one...
  555. [11/2/2015 11:34:07 PM] Caleb: But you are not trapped
  556. [11/2/2015 11:35:16 PM] Caleb: does that rope burn?
  557. [11/2/2015 11:35:23 PM] Jon Blair: Yea, but I was safe, we are no closer to helping find Cori's family
  558. [11/2/2015 11:35:27 PM] Jon Blair: and no, the rope did nothing
  559. [11/2/2015 11:36:13 PM] Caleb: This really is starting to feel like we are just the playthings of some mad lunatic from high up above..... in this building
  560. [11/2/2015 11:37:12 PM] Dan: (( Yes. In this building. ))
  561. [11/2/2015 11:38:50 PM] Jon Blair: Well I can try pulling on the rope again, see if anything changed
  562. [11/2/2015 11:39:09 PM] Jon Blair: You should stay over here in case I get locked in again, so you can let the others know
  563. [11/2/2015 11:39:39 PM] Caleb: good idea, also we should probably send one of us over to see what they did
  564. [11/2/2015 11:39:54 PM] Jon Blair: Well let me pull the rope first, then you head back
  565. [11/2/2015 11:40:05 PM] Jon Blair: Ryouta goes up the stairs and pulls the rope
  566. [11/2/2015 11:40:27 PM] Dan: As you grab the rope, it suddenly gives two short tugs in towards the wall.
  567. [11/2/2015 11:40:54 PM] Caleb: looks on perplexed
  568. [11/2/2015 11:41:02 PM] Jon Blair: ((you can't see this if you stayed behind
  569. [11/2/2015 11:41:20 PM] Dan: (( He hasn't left yet. ))
  570. [11/2/2015 11:41:39 PM] Jon Blair: ((but I thought we agreed for him to stay behind the wall in case it closes, and the rope is up stairs))
  571. [11/2/2015 11:42:10 PM] Dan: Well, the wall didn't close. I can say that much.
  572. [11/2/2015 11:42:29 PM] Jon Blair: ((but nothing happens other than the rope acting differently))
  573. [11/2/2015 11:42:38 PM] Jon Blair: ?
  574. [11/2/2015 11:42:56 PM] Dan: (( Correct. You felt two sharp tugs on the rope. What does that tell you? ))
  575. [11/2/2015 11:43:05 PM] Caleb: Luke calls up Did anything happen?
  576. [11/2/2015 11:43:13 PM] Dan: (( No cell signal ))
  577. [11/2/2015 11:43:20 PM] Jon Blair: Yes, I think someone is on the other side pulling the rope now
  578. [11/2/2015 11:43:33 PM] Dan: (( oh, that kind of calling. Proceed. ))
  579. [11/2/2015 11:43:54 PM] Caleb: OOO TUG OF WAR!!!!
  580. [11/2/2015 11:44:08 PM] Caleb: can I help or do you got this
  581. [11/2/2015 11:44:40 PM] Jon Blair: I don't even know if pulling back is the right thing, but I'll try. You should stay down there, I'm pretty strong I should be able to handle it.
  582. [11/2/2015 11:44:46 PM] Jon Blair: Ryouta pulls hard on the rope
  583. [11/2/2015 11:46:36 PM] Dan: You can feel the rope pulling back. You're more than strong enough to deal with the extra weight
  584. [11/2/2015 11:47:29 PM] Jon Blair: ((aye I can drag up to 760 lbs so npnp)
