Drufle (GM)	Oh, and for Streak's purposes. Session 4-2, Start!
Axel	Do we ask will about the gym battle? or does he just leave? 4-2 is go!
Drufle (GM)	He'll talk to you about it, yes.
Axel	Go go go
Cici	Hello yellow!
Drufle (GM)	We can have a quick discussion in the morning.
Axel	Golurk has awoken!
Drufle (GM)	In fact, hold on. There we go.
Axel	THANK YOU
Drufle (GM)	Put on the morning music.
Axel	That music had gone on far too long
Drufle (GM)	It's bright and early on Day 3!
Cici	ditto
Drufle (GM)	We're sure about this now!
Cici	in the sky praise ditto
Drufle (GM)	Ignore Copymon.
Cici	h a i l
Axel	I had to listen to that music for a half hour
Cici	I Want To Believe
Drufle (GM)	You could have asked me to turn it off!
Axel	begone copymon, we do not need your false prophecies
Cambria	You have MEEEEE
Axel	Drufle, that would've been far to logical that's not how we roll
Drufle (GM)	So the party has taken temporary residence in a local hotel, the Jelly Donut.
Jack	...that's cute
Cici	is the logo a rice ball
Axel	jelly klefki?
Drufle (GM)	What's a rice ball?
Axel	Klefki is the right shape
Cici	lmao
Jack	FOREIGN MUCK
Drufle (GM)	:P
Copper	>:(
Cici	oh shit
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, Will has something to say!
Cici	ive awakened the 4kids beehive
Axel	Will, the man
Will	"Uh, hey guys."
Clara	>:?
Will	"I need to say something about last night."
Axel	"Hm? Oh Will! Where've you been?"
Cici	i cant believe it will's breaking up with us
Jack	i forgot this was going to happen
Will	"You see, I challenged the Gym Leader, Marion."
Cici	[will] i think we should see other trainers
Axel	"The gym leader? How'd it go!"
Will	"She's great! You'll have to do really well to beat her though." "I won, see!" Will holds out his Diverse Badge.
Jack	"I was there! It was amazing!" Axel leans down to look at the badge
Cici	"Oh, it's beautiful!"
Will	"She's got a crazy fire Raticate, and a mega stone somehow!"
Axel	"Well I'll be, this is your...first badge right?" Mega Raticate? Will nods.
Axel	"Mega Raticate?"
Will	"Yeah! It was really... weird." Nickle looks slightly concerned
Will	"And super dangerous." Nickle begins writing notes
Will	"But that's not what I really wanted to talk about."
Cici	"I've never heard of a Mega Raticate... but I suppose theoretically any Pokemon is capable of mega evolution, given the proper stone."
Will	"Marion, the gym leader, told me about some laboratory in the city that could help me with my new Pokemon, Bic." Will releases his newly caught Porygon.
Axel	"Porygon? oh hello"
Cici	"Oh my!"
Will	"So... I think I'll be working with him for a while, probably longer than you guys want to stay here if you're looking for Professor Hawthorne."
Jack	":("
Axel	"I see"
Will	"I think I should probably leave the rest of you to yourselves for a while..." Cici frowns Rochelle topples into Will
Cici	"Well, if you're sure."
Will	"I'm pretty sure, yeah."
Cici	"I'm sure this business with the Professor can't take that long."
Rochelle	hey, my sprite is wrong
Cici	"We'll be back in no time!" Will smiles.
Cici	cici is so incredibly wrong Rochelle tries to get Will to pick her up
Jack	no mate what'll happen is that after years of adventures we end up pissing off dialga and we are dumped back here ten seconds later
Drufle (GM)	Axel: Fixed.
Axel	*watches Drufle struggle to correct sprite
Cici	"You have a Pokenav, right? Why don't we swap numbers?"
Axel	thankin' ya Will nods and hands Cici his Pokenav.
Cici	"You can call us whenever you're ready and we can meet back up. Er, if you want to."
Axel	"Oh, I have my number here...somewhere"
Cici	will was actually the anime character of the day all along
Will	"I'll keep in touch, don't worry!" Nickle offers to Will to input their number Cici beams
Drufle (GM)	This sure is some incredibly cheery music for a kind of sad scene.
Nickle	Since Axel can't remember it
Cici	"Well... I guess we should be off, then." "Unless anyone had anything else to do in the city?" Will nods, and starts packing his things. Nickle pauses for a second
Nickle	"Brzt zzt" Nickle points to the gym
Nickle	"Zzzzt Bzzzrt"
Drufle (GM)	And so Will is off on his own journey, to find things amazing!
Cici	"You want to check out that Mega Raticate too, huh, Nickle?"
Nickle	"zzzt"
Cici	oh he's flown away bye!
Nickle	Will used Fly
Drufle (GM)	He'll be doing his own things for a while.
Jack	"goodbye friend!!"
Drufle (GM)	But he'll be back soon enough.
Cici	will is replaced with Three Trubbish
Axel	"I suppose a gym battle wouldn't be a bad idea" "Its been a while though..."
Nickle	"zzzt"
Cici	"I don't know... I hope this doesn't take too long."
Drufle (GM)	Shall we make our way to the gym?
Axel	yes
Jack	sure
Drufle (GM)	One moment.
Axel	Isn't Romain looking to fight the gym too?
Cici	"I don't want to be the one to explain to the professor that he was stuck in a hole for an extra 4 hours because you two needed a chance to show off."
Drufle (GM)	Yes, but he seems to be slightly sleepy at the moment.
Cici	he hasnt said anything about it to me i dont think
Nickle	"zzzt"
Romain	oh no i didnt get to say anything cool Cici shrugs
Romain	damn dog
Drufle (GM)	pff Romain is always the quiet type.
Axel	"Hawthorn isn't in a hole...I don't think" "If legendaries are starting to appear...we may need the extra training" Cici sighs
Cici	"Alright, fair point."
Axel	new map
Cici	"I guess we can take our time." Nickle revs up
Drufle (GM)	The party walks to the gym at the center of Tormalia. Rochelle sits in Axel's hands
Drufle (GM)	It's quite a simple place, with little embellishment. James Guy sees the group of you, and recognizing Jack, waves the party in with a smile.
Axel	is that the grid or just the tiles? I can't tell
James Guy	"More competitors, eh? Excellent!"
Drufle (GM)	It's both!
Romain	oh
Drufle (GM)	I made sure to line them up nicely.
Romain	oh yes. right
Axel	how well known is Axel and Cici?
Cici	like are we famous?
Axel	I mean, they work for THE Proffesor of the region
Cici	we're research assistants
Drufle (GM)	Not too much, I'd imagine.
Cici	nobody knows assistants
Axel	Aiden?
Drufle (GM)	Marion recognizes you, though.
Jack	the prof gets all the credit
Cici	do you know stephen hawking's sidekick? no me neither
Jack	he writes the papers
Cici	thats the official term, sidekicks
Marion	"Oh my, look who it is!"
Cici	would we know her?
Jack	"hello again miss!" MEEE
Axel	she has a background this could get ugly
Jack	hobble over Marion smiles at the group.
Cici	she disperses the tiles with her step
Axel	"Er, um, yes, hello"
Cici	@drufle do we know her personally?
Romain	"My hair.. is lighter than hers."
Marion	"Hello again, Jack. And it's good to see the old Professor's aides!"
Drufle (GM)	Cici: No.
Axel	Yes, Romain's hair is lighter
Drufle (GM)	But she knows you!
Romain	";_;"
Cici	"Oh, uh, it's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am."
Axel	"Er um...we've met, right? Maybe?"
Marion	"My, it's been quite some time since I've heard anything about you fellows."
Axel	Axel is not used to people knowing him
Marion	"Oh no, but ol' Hawthorne has told me quite a bit about his young compatriots!"
Cici	did we establish how long we putzed around setting up the lab? i dont think we really went anywhere while we were there like a month maybe? Nickle floats there, watching
Drufle (GM)	Something like that, yes.
Cici	"All good, I hope?" Cici chuckles Marion smiles warmly.
Marion	"Of course, of course." "Now, if you're here, I'm sure there must be a reason!"
Axel	"Err...yes" "My Magnemite here showed interest in battle"
Jack	"Axel and Romain are here to challenge you"
Nickle	"zzzt"
Axel	"Also Romain?"
Marion	"Oh my, two challengers in the same day?" "What a busy week this is!"
Romain	"Me?"
Axel	"Romain, Jack, please don't confuse me" "Its too early for that"
Marion	"Well, someone is challenging me, yes?" Cici sighs
Axel	"I am, I know that"
Cici	"Axel, why don't you just go first." Marion turns and walks slowly back to the center of the arena.
Axel	"Um, sure, thanks" "Nickle, you're up" Drufle, add nickle while we're not looking
Jack	p; l plsease Nickle advances to the center of the arena
Cici	jack r u ok
Jack	one-handed typing
Drufle (GM)	(Give me a quick second, I need to put the numbers on her Pokemon.) Axel moves into a possition where I can see the field
Jack	and also being polite where axel fails
Cici	"Let's get out of the way, shall we?"
Axel	"Err right, this won't take long..." Cici motions the boys over towards the side of the gym
Cici	gonna go afk to go eat for ~15/20 min
Axel	Axel does not sound confident
Cici	have fun
Axel	Have fun at Burger Kingler
Jack	let's all go get a Whooper Nickle has his serious face on
Axel	Drufle, get Rochelle ready
Marion	"Let's all have a good fight now!"
Axel	I have a feeling I'll need her. Please
Jack	when are we gonna get a gym leader named rochelle
Axel	"Er, right. Nickle, you know what to do"
Jack	and then roxette Marion sends out her first Pokemon!
Jack	and then no more female rock leaders ever
Nickle	-A bird?- -Very well- Nickle revs up his magnets
Marion	"Alright Starly, let him have it!"
Nickle	definite outspeeded
Drufle (GM)	I have 6 speed.

Drufle (GM)	Hmph. That's annoying. Oh, right.

Nickle	it doesn't hit regardless how hold on
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I know.
Nickle	you can't double roll
Drufle (GM)	I just wanted to make sure it works.
Nickle	no cheating
Drufle (GM)	Roll your attack. Starly attempts a Peck, but Nickle swiftly avoids it! Nickle: Nickle used Thunder Shock! Target Starly Roll 3 5 2 + 6 AC 14 Damage 4 hell yes
Drufle (GM)	Yikes.
Nickle	SP ATK highstat + supereffective
Drufle (GM)	And Starly is down!
Nickle	also murderous rolling "Zzzzzrrrrrt" Nickle looms higher
Axel	"Nice shot, Nickle"
Marion	"Oh my..." "Let's try something different!"

Nickle	that is a hit
Drufle (GM)	Sure is!
Nickle	2 damage
Drufle (GM)	Aipom takes a bolt to the chest, and staggers.
Nickle	I'm guessing this guy only has 4 hp max
Marion	"What a powerful Pokemon!"
Nickle	he doesn't seem that substatial
Marion	"Aipom, let's try something better!"
Axel	"Thank you...I raised him myself"
Drufle (GM)	Ready?
Nickle	do I even need to tell you?
Drufle (GM)	Giga Impact.
Nickle	roll that Drufle (GM): Aipom used Giga Impact! Target Nickle Roll 6 5 4 + 6 AC 15 Damage 2
Nickle	Thundershock, why would I change that? that is a hit Drufle (GM): Aipom used Giga Impact! Target Nickle Roll 5 4 5 + 6 AC 15 Damage 2
Nickle	wait hang on does Giga Impact get a +1 to damage?
Drufle (GM)	Giga Impact/Hyper Beam is rolled twice in the same turn.
Nickle	I know that
Drufle (GM)	It does not.
Cici	so that does 2 damage, then
Drufle (GM)	So unfortunately, I think this only does 2 damage.
Nickle	then you only do 2 damage total
Cici	yes.
Drufle (GM)	It's the best I can do! Aipom charges its energy, and rams into Nickle! How does Thundershock do? Nickle: Nickle used Thunder Shock! Target Aipom Roll 2 6 3 + 6 AC 14 Damage 2 A solid hit again
Drufle (GM)	Nice! And down goes Aipom!
Cici	dem 6 spatk hits Nickle is mildly annoyed by the powerful attack
Marion	"My, you are doing very well!" Marion watches as Aipom collapses.
Axel	"Annnnd...I know what's next"
Cici	rip magnemite
Marion	"Well then, I suppose it's time for my closest friend!" Cici leans forward eagerly
Axel	"Hang in their, Nickle" Marion throws out a Raticate!
Axel	"This next one will be tough"
Marion	"Raticate, I think you know what to do here."
Nickle	-I am aware of this one- Nickle sighs Marion grasps a small rainbow stone on her brooch. Nickle braces for impact
Cici	[raticate] runs in a circle [raticate] licks its own armpit no bad ratdog
Drufle (GM)	Raticate begins glowing white, and when the glow fades...
Nickle	fire rat appears did you get a pog?
Drufle (GM)	He reappears, his fur a crimson red, with sharp, long fangs and a mane of fire! No, still no pogs.
Nickle	no, thats fine I can imagine the glorious mane
Romain	give it the aura
Nickle	it has a speed of 6? I assume
Marion	"Mega Raticate, let's clean up!"
Drufle (GM)	Yep! My turn first!
Nickle	come on, Def, do your thing just get one attack off
Drufle (GM)	Ember!
Nickle	Thundershock special, crap

Drufle (GM)	No damage on high roll. rolling 1d6 ( 3 ) = 3 Nuts.
Nickle	pffft perfect Nickle falls to the ground
Drufle (GM)	One damage to Mega Raticate!
Nickle	"zzzzrrrrt....zzz..."
Marion	"Good, good!" Nickle eye dims out
Axel	"Okay, Copper, get Nickle out of the way. Rochelle! Its your turn!" Rochelle runs into the field, trips, and rolls over, stopping face first
Cici	wait did nickle really only have 2 hp left
Rochelle	yes
Cici	that's resisted isn't it aw i thought he had 3 bummer Copper pulls Nickle out of the battle
Cici	nickles fucking dead holys hit
Drufle (GM)	Let's have us a fight!
Rochelle	The god has fallen
Drufle (GM)	Ready?
Cambria	EXCUSE ME
Drufle (GM)	Take Down!
Rochelle	Rock Throw I'm relying on my Physical Attack this is gonna suck Drufle (GM): Raticate used Take Down! Target Rochelle Roll 2 2 2 + 6 AC 15 Damage 2 Sigh.
Rochelle	no dice
Romain	nice
Drufle (GM)	My luck is really not with me. Rochelle gets up Rochelle then shakes herself off
Drufle (GM)	Mega Raticate charges at Rochelle, but the little Pokemon dives out of the way! Rochelle: Rochelle used Rock Throw! Target Raticate Roll 1 3 4 + 4 AC 14 Damage 3
Cici	:[
Rochelle	no good
Drufle (GM)	Ooh, no dice. Next!
Cici	whiff Rochelle attempts to kick a rock towards Raticate, but trips again
Drufle (GM)	Ember!
Rochelle	Same thing Rock Throw Drufle (GM): Raticate used Ember! Target Rochelle Roll 6 6 4 + 4 AC 14 Damage 1

Cici	rock doesnt resist that right i always forget
Rochelle	it does Now she's mad
Drufle (GM)	I included the resist.
Cici	does it really
Drufle (GM)	Yep!
Romain	yee
Drufle (GM)	Ground doesn't, though. Rochelle: Rochelle used Rock Throw! Target Raticate Roll 5 3 5 + 4 AC 14 Damage 3
Drufle (GM)	Rock does.
Rochelle	Good roll
Cici	i always think that steel/rock is weak to fire
Drufle (GM)	Oof!
Cici	for some reason
Drufle (GM)	And Mega Raticate is down! Rochelle stomps the round, causing a rock to pop out Rochelle then drop kicks the rock into the Raticates face
Rochelle	Like an effing boss Marion frowns slightly.
Marion	"All these powerful young trainers!" Rochelle topples over to Axel, looking very pleased with herself
Marion	"My, I never would have expected such power!"
Axel	"That was amazing, Rochelle!" Axel picks up Rochelle
Romain	"That was exhilarating to watch. I wonder how it feels on the field of battle." Cici cheers
Cici	"Nice work, guys!"
Marion	"Well, sir, I believe this is yours, then."
Romain	"Between two trainers."
Axel	"This was her first battle, I wasn't sure I was going to win" Marion walks over to Axel and pulls something out of her purse.
Romain	a gun
Axel	"Oh? A badge? Thank you so much"
Marion	"Here you are, this is your badge!"
Cici	stick em up
Axel	"If only Nickle were awake to see it" "This was his idea"
Marion	"As I'm sure your friend Will informed you, this is the Diverse Badge!"
Romain	r i p nickle 2015-2015 Axel accepts the badge
Axel	"Ah, yes, he showed us his badge earlier"
Marion	"And unfortunately, we do not yet have the rest of the rewards." "The league is still young, you see."
Nickle	I can be remade, we have the technology
Marion	"I will make sure they reach you when the time comes."
Axel	"Oh, thats perfectly alright" "We just wanted the battle. It was intense"
Marion	"Of course, yes."
Axel	"I have never seen Raticate do that before"
Marion	"It is astounding, is it not?"
Romain	tms have not been invented yet Copper carries Nickle over to Axel
Marion	"Oh, actually, I do believe I have the monetary reward. Let me get that for you!"
Axel	oh good, we've been needing that
Drufle (GM)	Now, do I remember how much that is... I believe it's 5000 pokeyen? Let me check.
Axel	5000? Holy bejeeze More gym battles, please Romain, who will you open with?
Drufle (GM)	Yep, 5000 pokeyen.
Romain	rotom
Axel	do you want to save Candle Jack for the Raticate?
Drufle (GM)	And 2 exp, mark that down.
Axel	YES! DING!!
Drufle (GM)	Man, I hadn't even thought of that. Candle Jack is gonna be a huge pain for me.
Axel	I hope he is
Romain	tfw wall each other
Drufle (GM)	Marion returns and hands the money to Axel.
Axel	I need to choose boons now
Marion	"Now, there was another challenger?"
Axel	also, buff Nickle to 5 Attack now "Uhh...I think so" Copper points to Romain
Copper	She's learning how this works
Romain	"I am the next challenger."
Marion	"Good, good."
Copper	so 5000 yen confirmed?
Marion	"Let's have an excellent battle!"
Romain	druffle my farty if you please
Drufle (GM)	Yes. 5000 pokeyen. Farty?
Copper	choosing boons, may not say much for a while
Marion	"Oh my, Ghost types? I will have quite the difficulty with you, I'm sure."
Romain	"It is said that the incantations of Mismagius can either bring torment or happiness. Tell me, is this battle going to bring us torment, or happiness?"
Copper	give her hell, Romain Marion smiles.
Copper	Ooooh
Marion	"Shall we find out?"
Copper	What an opening much jealous
Romain	"We should." Marion tosses out Starly!
Marion	"Ah, an Electric type as well!"
Romain	sorry i was on another tab for most of the battle how to moves just say the attacks first yeah?
Drufle (GM)	Yes. I outspeed you, though. At least I think I do...
Romain	rotom has speed focus
Drufle (GM)	Really? Well then! You go first! Ready? Peck!
Romain	thunder shock
Drufle (GM)	Roll!
Romain	oops i think i forgot to click
Drufle (GM)	It happens. Romain: Laughingstock used Thunder Shock! Target Starly Roll 1 3 3 + 6 AC 14 Damage 4 no!!
Drufle (GM)	Oof. A miss! Starly used Peck! Target Laughingstock Roll 6 3 6 + 6 AC 14 Damage 1 A hit! Take your one damage, and let us continue. Ready?
Romain	"Lightning never strikes the same place twice. Please don't miss like that again, it's embarrassing! :<"
Drufle (GM)	Peck!
Romain	Thunder shock
Drufle (GM)	Peck is literally Starly's only non-Normal move. By the way. Romain: Laughingstock used Thunder Shock! Target Starly Roll 3 5 5 + 6 AC 14 Damage 4
Drufle (GM)	And there we go. Starly is down! Marion shakes her head.
Marion	"My my, where do youngsters find these..." "Aipom, please help me out."
Romain	"In abandoned buildings."
Drufle (GM)	Now, we come to a bit of an impass.
Copper	behold the mighty Rotom

Cici	what a potty mouth
Copper	I tried to do a thing [] okay, those work [Aipom] "I can't deal with dis shit. You crazy, lady"
Romain	wait just a moment crippling pain
Drufle (GM)	?
Copper	ouch, that's been bugging you for a while, hasn't it?
Drufle (GM)	Did you like, break your foot or something?
Copper	I need to go eat BRB
Drufle (GM)	Mhm.
Copper	get well soon, Golurk my sheet is updated now, Drufle brb
Drufle (GM)	Good!
Romain	literally every move i make this is the worst ok let go s
Drufle (GM)	Double-Edge!
Romain	thunder shock
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead! Romain: Laughingstock used Thunder Shock! Target Aipom Roll 6 6 6 + 6 AC 14 Damage 2
Drufle (GM)	... Well then.
Romain	666
Drufle (GM)	You know, despite the fact that only does 2 damage. I think it's going to count as 3 because of your literally max roll.
Romain	THE PAIN MAKES ME STRONGER
Drufle (GM)	Aipom is down!
Marion	"Preposterous! What an absurdly powerful Pokemon!"
Romain	"That spark could revive the dead, Stock.Great work."
Marion	"Raticate, it's your turn!" "Let's finish the job!" "Mega Evolve!"
Romain	"Here we go."
Drufle (GM)	Once more, the Raticate glows, and it is replaced with a more fearsome, and flame-ridden Mega Raticate! Right! Ready?
Romain	Thunder Shock again
Drufle (GM)	Ember! Roll away!
Romain	who is faster
Drufle (GM)	You of course.
Romain	still me? ok good Laughingstock used Thunder Shock! Target Raticate Roll 5 5 3 + 6 AC 14 Damage 2
Drufle (GM)	Yikes.
Romain	hecka
Drufle (GM)	That's 2 damage to Mega Raticate! And he retaliates! Raticate used Ember! Target Laughingstock Roll 4 6 6 + 4 AC 15 Damage 2 BAM
Romain	"!!"
Drufle (GM)	The two trade elemental blows, singing each other. Ready?
Romain	"The will of the wisp has faltered." dpes rotom faint
Drufle (GM)	Ember! Does he? Oh he does.
Romain	other mons only have 3 hp right
Drufle (GM)	He's been hit before, I forgot. Yep!
Romain	"Oh dear."
Drufle (GM)	Poor Laughingstock zaps and buzzes, and falls to the ground!
Jack	'singing each other'
Marion	"Aha! Excellent!"
Romain	"I apologize for overexerting you."
Marion	"Here I was worried this was going poorly!"
Romain	"I think it's time to, as they say, fight fire with fire." "Go forth, Candle Jack!"
Drufle (GM)	Ready? Take down!
Romain	Thunder Shock
Drufle (GM)	Er?
Romain	yes i can use that
Drufle (GM)	Seriously?
Romain	it says special attack and ghost type i guess it does??
Drufle (GM)	Hot damn, you can! Impressive! Well, I believe I go first now.
Romain	"The static has rubbed off on this candle, and I think it holds a charge pretty well, don't you think?" Drufle (GM): Raticate used Take Down! Target Candle Jack Roll 6 2 2 + 6 AC 14 Damage 2 Grr.
Romain	literally zero all the time
Drufle (GM)	Wait, that hits. Good! Take your two damage. I'll check my recoil. No damage on high. rolling 1d6 ( 2 ) = 2
Drufle (GM)	Nuts! 1 hp off of Mega Raticate.
Romain	im sorry i think i misread something
Drufle (GM)	?
Romain	are type immunities are still a thing
Drufle (GM)	Technically, no. Instead of doing zero damage, immunities do -2 damage Take Down does +1 and Raticate has ATK focus. So it would normally do 4, and is reduced to 2 with Ghost immunity. It's bizarre, but that's what the book says.
Romain	ok
Drufle (GM)	Roll your thundershock!
Copper	I'm back Romain: Candle Jack used Thunder Shock! Target Raticate Roll 1 4 1 + 6 AC 14 Damage 2
Drufle (GM)	Oof.
Romain	dan
Drufle (GM)	Next!
Copper	When did Candle Jack learn thundershock? what'd I miss?
Romain	from the start
Drufle (GM)	Turns out, ghost types with SPATK focus get it!
Copper	wow that's coolio
Drufle (GM)	Dragon/Ghost/Psychic/Normal types with SPATK, actually. Or any Electric type. Ready?
Axel	I knew about Dragons getting it
Drufle (GM)	Take Down!
Romain	still Thunder Shock
Drufle (GM)	Alright, let's see how this goes. Raticate used Take Down! Target Candle Jack Roll 6 2 4 + 6 AC 14 Damage 1 Hoo hoo!
Axel	uh oh
Romain	ruh roh
Axel	who's been taken out so far?
Drufle (GM)	And down goes Candle Jack! Oh, wait. You have more than 3 hp. Nevermind!
Romain	yes
Axel	he's got a ways to go also recoil roll Reckless
Drufle (GM)	Yes, lemme do that. rolling 1d6 ( 2 ) = 2
Axel	dun forget
Drufle (GM)	Come on! Poor Mega Raticate.
Axel	Who will go down first?
Drufle (GM)	Roll Thundershock!
Axel	Candle to Take Down? Or Raticate to Takedown? Romain: Candle Jack used Thunder Shock! Target Raticate Roll 5 3 4 + 6 AC 14 Damage 2
Drufle (GM)	And that's it!
Romain	"Better!"
Axel	find out tonight on Gym Wars Weekly
Drufle (GM)	Mega Raticate is down!
Axel	or right now that works too
Drufle (GM)	The flaming rodent stumbles, and collapses!
Axel	"Romain! Congrats!"
Romain	"It's unconscious!"
Drufle (GM)	Mark your two EXP, Romain.
Romain	hecka
Drufle (GM)	And add the 5000 pokeyen ahead of time, just so we don't forget.
Marion	"Astounding!" "Most impressive, young man!"
Axel	I actually can't wait to try my new moves finally a special steel attack
Marion	"Here you go, sir."
Axel	Nuke everything with Flash Cannon I think its flash cannon Marion hands Romain the Diverse Badge!
Drufle (GM)	And the money too, of course.
Axel	Bullet Punch is iin Ultimate Steel
Romain	"So this is a badge. Ah, I feel so accomplished. "
Axel	I find this funny
Marion	"It is a testament to your ability to use variety to your advantage!" "And as your little Litwick just showed, I believe you have done quite well!"
Romain	"Now both of you, thank the nice lady for the experience." Marion smiles and squats in front of the Ghost Pokemon. Romain props Rotom up like a puppet.
Marion	"What wonderful Pokemon!" "Now, unless your other friends are challenging me..." Marion stands up again, slowly.
Axel	"Cici, Jack? do you guys feel like giving it a try?"
Jack	I can't harm this sweet old lady's pokemon any further
Drufle (GM)	Cici is currently finding a place to rest her laptop.
Jack	I don't want her to feel awful for losing three times
Drufle (GM)	:P
Jack	it was hard nough watching romain
Axel	also fire rat
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, Romain kinda ruined her. It's to be expected for a Ghost-type trainer against a Normal-type gym.
Jack	"No... I'm fine thank you"
Marion	"Very well!" "I believe I shall retire for now, then. I think I've had quite enough battling for a while, and my Pokemon are tired as well."
Jack	and they hobbled away Marion smiles and waves, and brings her Pokemon to the back room.
Axel	"That went...rather well I think"
Romain	soon: Some Guy: "What were you doing inside that abandoned building for hours???" dun dun dun Copper places Nickle on top of Rochelle, who is in Axel's arms
Jack	"Axel you have balls"
Axel	"Copper, seriously?" "Hmmm, er yes, I do have pokeballs" Axel wobbles a little under the weight
Drufle (GM)	Well I think that went wonderfully! Copper rests on top of the pile
Axel	"Copper, please"
Drufle (GM)	Cici is having some technical issues, so we'll have to excuse her for a bit.
Axel	thats okay
Drufle (GM)	So, what next? Do we do a bit more shopping? Or is it off to the mountains?
Axel	we have money to buy an item finder
Drufle (GM)	True!
Axel	lets grab that real quick so we have apricorns and items who wants to carry the item finder?
Jack	MEEEEE
Drufle (GM)	For your sanity's sake, I won't play the Tormalia theme again.
Axel	thank you
Drufle (GM)	How about something else?
Axel	this music works
Romain	can i just stay quiet the rest of the session
Axel	okay, so do we chip in 2500 to buy item finder?
Romain	i cant move
Axel	me and romain got money
Drufle (GM)	You can't move ? Oh, in real life.
Axel	he is in pain, Druf
Drufle (GM)	Uh, sure. That sounds good.
Axel	Romain doesn't talk much anyways, so don't worry
Drufle (GM)	So who is buying the Itemfinder?
Axel	I was pitching in 2500
Jack	moi
Drufle (GM)	Alright then, mark those down!
Axel	I don't think Jack got money yet
Jack	no but I shall HOLD the thing
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, he is still kind of broke isn't he.
Jack	it is a present to me from you
Axel	I've only put half up
Jack	>:(
Axel	I was hoping Romain would pick up the other half
Jack	I am actually worried abt golurk
Axel	I am too And mildly frustrated I can't help
Drufle (GM)	What's wrong with him?
Jack	he was complaining about deep chest pains earlier today
Axel	aye, and from the looks of it they haven't stopped
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear, that is really bad. I hope he isn't too hurt.
Axel	he's pretty badly hurt, from what I can tell
Jack	I assumed he just pulled an intercostal or something but it hasn't stopped
Drufle (GM)	I think we can safely say that Romain is willing to chip in the remaining cash. If not, we can do something about it. Ah, there's Cici.
phoone	no im not shh carry on
Drufle (GM)	:P
Axel	welcome back Phoone/Cici
phoone	i wont be here long seriously this will be so weird in the log
Drufle (GM)	Well then.
Axel	that puts me down to 3200 so...Ultra ball plz?
Drufle (GM)	That's still quite a lot! Of course, go ahead.
Axel	Though I may just buy them from Cici she gets the discount
Drufle (GM)	They're 600 each for her. So just buy them as such from your account.
Axel	I'll buy 2 for 1200 then
Drufle (GM)	I think we can always assume that you are buying Poke Balls through Cici.
Axel	through her generosity
Drufle (GM)	Good! So, let's move on then, shall we? Off to uh.
Axel	does Jack have the item finder?
Drufle (GM)	Whatever Route this is. Yes, he does. I hope he has a good Aptitude stat!
Axel	Also, I'd like to search for Apricorns once we leave the city
Jack	it's 6 ya dingus
Drufle (GM)	You search for Apricorns as part of Sanctuaries, unfortunately. It's not an immediate thing.
Cici	it's so quiet man the assets are loading in
Drufle (GM)	Yes, I'm going to move you over.
Axel	oh, I can't just look?
Cici	VEERY slowly
Jack	also is it an item or not it's not in the google
Axel	Item Finder is an item
Drufle (GM)	Whenever you happen upon a Pokémon sanctuary, you can search it for apricorns to collect. Roll 2d6 twice. You get two of each of the types of apricorn you rolled corresponding to the apricorn table
Cici	hi
Axel	can I do this for the santuary we already found?
Cici	everything is white
Jack	ah there it is
Cici	oh now theres music
Drufle (GM)	It's a city!
Axel	give it a second Cici
Jack	they call it the Dowsing Machine
Cici	it's been about a full minute
Drufle (GM)	There are no Apricorns in the city!
Axel	Dowsing Mchn
Cici	im gonna f5
Axel	Sancturary though
Drufle (GM)	Did you actually have the kit at that point? I forget.
Axel	I...don't know?
phoone	yeah okay everything is white and not loading in at all
Axel	when did we but it?
phoone	our user avatars are here but that's it why
Drufle (GM)	I don't remember, but I'll allow it. Roll 2d6 twice.
Axel	okay rolling 2d6 + 2d6 ( 4 + 4 )+( 1 + 1 ) = 10 8 + 2 8 and 2
Drufle (GM)	You get 2 red apricorns!
Axel	woo
phoone	noice
Drufle (GM)	Right then, how long is this walk...
Axel	ummm where are we going?
Drufle (GM)	To the mountains!
Axel	right then?
Drufle (GM)	That's where Hawthorne is, you've been told. It is quite a walk, it seems.
Axel	to the first crossroads is...
Jack	two days
Drufle (GM)	See the circle marked 3?
Axel	7 hours
Jack	isn't this a lovely view moor and mountain
Axel	from there
Drufle (GM)	That's Spinel village. That's your destination.
Axel	11 hours 7 + 11
Jack	I see no circles or threes
Axel	+ uphill climb
Drufle (GM)	On the map, Jack.
Axel	so 18 hours miniumum
Jack	oh ok
Drufle (GM)	It is going to be, quite a walk.
Jack	yeah this takes a couple days
Axel	with the battle and uphill climb, we'll likely have to sleep somewhere
phoone	there
Jack	we camp out with our hyperspatial camping gear
phoone	had to reboot browser again
Axel	you here, Phoone?
Drufle (GM)	Of course.
Cici	now it actually works
Axel	this is gonna take aaaages
Drufle (GM)	So the entire rest of Day 3 is spent wandering through the lovely polar country side of North Galens.
Axel	can I try to invent an item to quicken our pace? like a grapple hook?
Drufle (GM)	You uh.
Cici	im gonna assume everyone won the fights and then we left
Drufle (GM)	You aren't at the mountains yet.
Axel	not now, of course
Drufle (GM)	Cici: Yep!
Axel	when we get there
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right.
Cici	hooray
Drufle (GM)	Sure!
Axel	Nickle wrecked house until Raticate
Cici	i saw your fight
Axel	Then Rochelle drop kicked a rock into the rat's face
Cici	not romain's tho
Drufle (GM)	I think we'll skip the encounter for Day 3, seeing as we had two gym battles that day.
Axel	it was glorious
Drufle (GM)	Unless there are objections.
Cici	none here
Axel	I didn't see Romains though from what I hear, it was VERY onesided I like encounters, but we've had enough this day
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, Romain's battle was uh.
Axel	unless its a santuary
Drufle (GM)	Not really much of a fight. Until M.Raticate, he was just sweeping.
Jack	there ain't much sanctuary out on the highland moors
Axel	Aipom couldn't even hit him at all do we search for items on this new day?
Drufle (GM)	Right then, how about we move on to Day 4? Search? How so?
Axel	items finds finder stuff
Cici	the itemfinder works when you already roll treasure
Drufle (GM)	That's for encounter treasures!
Jack	no we search during treasure things
Axel	oh
Cici	like we just get MORE stuff with it, when we already would
Drufle (GM)	It gets you more treasure!
Axel	alrighty then, continue Nickle is awake again, being Nickle
Drufle (GM)	So the party, having woken up from their camp in the middle of the tundra's forests.
Cici	there she go
Drufle (GM)	Continue their long, arduous trek to Spinel village!
Cici	"My poor feet."
Axel	"Mountains..."
Drufle (GM)	Now, I think we'll do our encounter.
Cici	><
Jack	"Why did we pick the soggy road?!"
Axel	"Who builds a city on a mountain?" mountain encounter?
Cici	"Why don't we have a car?"
Jack	"who KNOWS what's hiding in the heather"
Axel	"Would a car even work up here?"
Drufle (GM)	Just a moment!
Cici	"If I had to guess, Jack, just more of those Spearow we kept seeing earlier."
Axel	"We'd be better off riding Nickle, honestly" Axel adjusts his hold on Rochelle
Cici	im gonna be crazy and say that we in fact saw pokemon during our 8 hour walk that DIDNT fight us
Axel	He's still carrying her
Jack	"I knew we'd make good time by freezing a path out of the mud" Cici laughs
Drufle (GM)	The mountains loom high above you, and you still can't seem to see Spinel.
Jack	"thanks, Brunt!"
Cici	"Whaddya say, Nickle? Give me a ride?"
Axel	nice song
Drufle (GM)	It's still quite a long walk.
Axel	fitting
Cici	"Pleaaase?"
Nickle	"Zrrtn" Nickle gives Cici and odd look
Drufle (GM)	Now, how about some Pokemon?
Nickle	Sure
Jack	yeahh
Cici	"It was a good idea, Jack..."
Drufle (GM)	I'm gonna do something crazy and mix up encounters!
Cici	"I just don't think the rest of us quite have the... dexterity... needed to skate along the ice like that." Cici fell down. A lot.
Drufle (GM)	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4 Nickle remembers all the walkers slipping
Nickle	all the time Nickle sighs
Cici	walkers
Drufle (GM)	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
Cici	amc's the walking pokemon
Jack	"I'm sure if you had more practice..."
Axel	"My head is already jumbled, I don't think I could handle ice too" "Also, I have to carry Rochelle"
Drufle (GM)	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Jack	"Axel. You. Have. Balls."
Cici	"Ice just isn't my thing. I'm a warm kind of person."
Drufle (GM)	Right then, I have my Pokemon. Now to get the pogs!
Jack	pogemon
Cici	"...I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that."
Axel	"I know I have balls, they're in my pocket. What are you even saying?" I just looked up Bergmite's weight
Jack	">:I"
Axel	holy cow they are HEAVY
Cici	bergmite? not roggenrola?
Axel	Roggenrolla is not even close I was comparing
Cici	ah lol they are literally small icebergs i guess ice weighs a lot
Axel	Bergmite is litterally over 200 pounds
Jack	roggo is 39.7 lbs
Cici	Big
Axel	he weighs more than all of us I thought Bergmite was a little guy. I was wrong so very wromg
Cici	dense
Jack	1 metre tall
Cici	ive run out of commentary
Axel	40 pounds of Rochelle. The chip in her head lessens the weight
Jack	big indeed
Axel	where is her pog, anyways?
Jack	yeah I thought they were half that
Axel	She's always out Brunt finally feels at home
Axel	Avallugg is going to be gargantuan
Romain	i think my skeleton wants t o escape
Axel	Has it gotten worse, Golurk? See a doctor, seriously
Drufle (GM)	You can leave if you want, Golurk.
Axel	this has gone on too long
Drufle (GM)	We don't want to keep you here if it hurts too much.
Axel	don wait go and save yourself
Cici	golurk what did you do to yourself are you being drafted to the skeleton war The Curse...
Jack	it feels the call of the hallowed eve
Cici	no but like actually what happened r u ok
Drufle (GM)	Er... what happened to the music.
Axel	its still going, donn't worry
Drufle (GM)	Ok, I can't hear it anymore for some reason.
Axel	we've got more important things to worry about
Drufle (GM)	Done! Suddenly, Pokemon!
Axel	gaps gasp variety A ryhorn?
Drufle (GM)	They show up in Mountains! Nickle looks up
Jack	oh myy
Drufle (GM)	So, who's ready for a fight? Nickle: Aptitude Check: 14
Jack	I am!
Nickle	wait wrong check Attention Check: 12
Drufle (GM)	Who's fighting whom?
Nickle	okay, there we go I'm on the Glalie
Jack	can I get another ice friend
Nickle	cause I'm a badass magnet
Drufle (GM)	Well I mean, you guys can pick. Sure!
Cici	i was writing a wooperdex
Drufle (GM)	I can have you fight a Snorunt if you'd like.
Cici	i don't want to catch any of these so ill fight whatevo
Nickle	Cici, you may not want to fight the ice types
Cici	yeah :P
Drufle (GM)	Is this good?
Cici	i could use a trubbish but still
Nickle	actually either me or Romain can handle the Glalie
Jack	fine by me
Drufle (GM)	Alright!
Cici	flavor text us up m8 whats haps
Drufle (GM)	I'll leave the music up because it seems like a good fighting song.
Nickle	I approve
Drufle (GM)	The party walks through the mountain trail, when they hear a rumbling from nearby. Nickle revs up
Drufle (GM)	A lone Rhyhorn is chasing a pair of Snorunt, and a Glalie seems to be eyeing the Rhyhorn quite angrily.
Cici	"Anyone else hear that...?"
Axel	"Ummm...yes?"
Cici	"Uh oh." Axel looks at Nickle
Cici	"Maybe we should stay out of this..." Nickle nods. We heard something
Drufle (GM)	The Glalie hears your footsteps, and rotates quickly.
Axel	"Well, they may not give us the chance!"
Drufle (GM)	It growls, and its breath is a chilling frost.
Jack	"w-why are the ALL attacking us!"
Cici	"If I had to guess, they're in a bit of a panic."
Drufle (GM)	The Glalie roars, and the Snorunt and Rhyhorn surprisedly turn to face the intruders.
Axel	"That...that is very bad"
Drufle (GM)	They rush forward to fight! Nickle gives a Stern Look to the attackers
Cici	"Odd that they're willing to work together with the pokemon who was just chasing them..." Cici sighs Nickle eyes up the Glalie
Cici	"Alright, let's get this over with."
Drufle (GM)	Now, their speeds are all 4, so you guys might actually go first!
Axel	"Is their any explanation for this, Cici?" Nickle goes first then
Jack	how do resolve speed ties
Axel	roll
Drufle (GM)	Romain seems to still be painfully MIA, so I'll just flavor text his fight. Yes, 1d6 for ties.
Jack	ok
Drufle (GM)	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3 Nickle meets the Glalie halfway
Cici	whose roll is that for
Drufle (GM)	Jack. He was the one that asked.
Cici	rooll
Nickle	K rool

Jack	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2
Cici	alright

Jack	bah

Drufle (GM)	So Axel, I believe you outspeed this glalie?
Nickle	oh
Jack	wondering where I wuz
Nickle	I outspeed, yes
Cici	lol
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead!
Nickle	Got some new toys me? or Jack?

Drufle (GM)	Well that's a stark improvement.
Nickle	Sitting up is good maybe
Drufle (GM)	If you'd like to participate, you're up first! You outspeed Snorunt's 4, I imagine.
Romain	oh boy ice types
Nickle	yep
Romain	its a tie
Drufle (GM)	rolling 1d6( 1 ) = 1
Nickle	roll 1d6
Drufle (GM)	Sigh
Nickle	sry Druf
Romain	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
Nickle	when you needed it most, you just couldn't get it Ember them to oblivion
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead! It's your turn first. Romain: Candle Jack used Ember! Target Snorunt Roll 3 3 2 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4 welp
Drufle (GM)	Ah well.
Cici	:[
Drufle (GM)	So close.
Nickle	pray for no rock attacks there is a Rhyhorn on the team Drufle (GM): Snorunt used Icy Wind! Target Candle Jack Roll 3 6 4 + 6 AC 15 Damage 0
Jack	rock slide, everyone dies
Drufle (GM)	Freeze on high. rolling 1d6 ( 1 ) = 1 Nuts!
Nickle	excellent work, Snorunt
Drufle (GM)	Alright Nickle, your turn!
Nickle	truly an inspiration to us all the electricity surrounding Nickle turns into a brilliant light Nickle used Flash Cannon! Target Glalie Roll 1 2 1 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear. Mark 1 exp! Nickle launches a bomb of light, but misses
Nickle	1 EXP?
Drufle (GM)	Learning from Failures!
Nickle	oh, cool
Drufle (GM)	Whenever you roll a 2 or 3 on a non-spammable roll, you get 1 EXP. The Flash Cannon misses Glalie by a mile, and it crashes into a nearby mountain.
Nickle	wow, I did not know that
Drufle (GM)	It rumbles a bit.
Nickle	"zzzzt..."
Jack	we keep forgetting Cici tenses up
Cici	"Axel, please tell me you didn't just cause an avalanche." Nickle seems mildly frustrated
Axel	"I...where?"
Jack	"Axel!! please be more careful!"
Axel	"Oh...there...uh...oops?" Drufle (GM): Glalie used Sheer Cold! Target Nickle Roll 2 3 4 + 6 AC 15 Damage 5 That does not hit.
Jack	8(
Axel	damn it I was hoping it didn't know that
Drufle (GM)	Rhyhorn!
Axel	Revenge of the santabird
Cici	"Here it comes, Clara!" Drufle (GM): Rhyhorn used Rollout! Target Clara Roll 5 2 3 + 6 AC 15 Damage 1
Axel	high Def, go go go
Drufle (GM)	Nuts!
Axel	Rollout, cool
Cici	"Swing and a miss!"
Drufle (GM)	Clara, your turn.
Jack	vhere I com frum, we EET things as smol as yu
Axel	may want to switch to special attacks
Cici	"Alright, now, give it a Razor Leaf as it comes around for another pass!" i dont have special grass moves
Drufle (GM)	pfff
Cici	how do i use these newfangled macros
Axel	"Uh, Cici, you're dealing with a very hard pokemon. If you have a special attack, now would be the time"
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right.
Axel	Axel doesn't know that
Drufle (GM)	Click on Clara, then on Physical-Attack.
Axel	wait, did Clara just hit herself? no wait dang it
Drufle (GM)	No, she's attacking Rhyhorn. Hopefully.
Axel	I am not paying attention Cici: Clara used Razor Leaf! Target Rhyhorn Roll 4 4 5 + 5 AC 14 Damage 7 i think i did it right...
Drufle (GM)	Uh.
Cici	>7
Axel	Ryhorn is not max Def?
Cici	what
Drufle (GM)	That seems concerning. It's damage mod you put in.
Axel	4x weakness doesn't work like that
Drufle (GM)	Not attack mod.
Cici	oh
Drufle (GM)	I mean you hit anyway, and it faints.
Cici	what do i put in for damage mod then
Drufle (GM)	But just as a future note.
Cici	i thought that was using my attack but i guess it's already on the pog so that makes sense :x woops
Axel	do you put anything in damage mod?
Drufle (GM)	Well I think it's just +1 for that attack. Because weakness.
Axel	Steel + rock is neutral
Drufle (GM)	Um.
Axel	oh wait, not steel
Drufle (GM)	Rhyhorn is ground/rock.
Cici	oh that'd be weakness and high attack then right
Axel	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Yep!
Cici	alright
Drufle (GM)	So Rhyhorn is out!
Cici	"Nice hit, Clara!"
Drufle (GM)	Jack, your turn!
Clara	>:U
Drufle (GM)	Or my turn, I forgot who won that roll.
Cici	you did druf
Axel	you won, druff
Drufle (GM)	Good!
Axel	I hope you're proud of yourself for beating on a little boys pokemon you monster Jack: Brunt used Ice Fang! Target Snorunt Roll 1 6 1 + 6 AC 14 Damage 2
Axel	not enough
Jack	I didn't put in any damage mods should I have Drufle (GM): Snorunt used Ice Beam! Target Brunt Roll 1 4 4 + 6 AC 14 Damage 1 Yes, Ice resists Ice.
Axel	what is your highstat?
Jack	def
Drufle (GM)	We both miss terribly!
Axel	-1 then
Drufle (GM)	Back to Romain!
Jack	"this might take a while..."
Drufle (GM)	(You can switch to Bluejohn or Cambria, you know.) Is Romain around?
Axel	bluejohn would be good
Romain	meme
Jack	bluejohn has no rock moves I have no boons for them
Axel	oh welp
Drufle (GM)	Oh, that's unfortunate. Romain, you're up.
Axel	Cambria?
Romain	"Snorunt. Those evolve into Froslass don't they..."
Jack	cambria might be a help
Axel	"Err...I think so?"
Cici	"Froslass and the Glalie here both." Romain: Candle Jack used Ember! Target Snorunt Roll 6 2 4 + 6 AC 13 Damage 3
Cici	"Only the girls, though."
Drufle (GM)	And that's Snorunt down!
Cici	"Not sure how you'd tell."
Axel	good hit
Drufle (GM)	Man you guys are just cleaning up.
Nickle	-My turn-
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead Nickle! Cici has relaxed after her fight and is just sort of expositioning now instead of helping
Axel	"Hey Nickle, fly higher!"
Drufle (GM)	Try not to cause an avalanche this time.
Axel	"I don't want you hitting more mountains"
Cici	"I mean these ones look a bit different than the Snorunt I'm used to."
Jack	yeah aim down
Cici	"Maybe you could ask them if they're girls." Nickle complies without looking around, and aims another attack Nickle: Nickle used Flash Cannon! Target Glalie Roll 2 6 2 + 6 AC 13 Damage 4
Drufle (GM)	And that's a hit! Nickle launches a powerful beam of light
Drufle (GM)	Glalie teeters and totters, hardly staying in the air.
Nickle	downward this time, not at mountains of course it lives
Drufle (GM)	His previous snarl has weakened to a contemptuous frown, staring angrily.
Nickle	Watch Sheer Cold hit now Drufle (GM): Glalie used Sheer Cold! Target Nickle Roll 3 6 5 + 6 AC 14 Damage 5 Nickle glares down back at the Glalie
Drufle (GM)	That's uh. 15! I actually hit! Nickle sees the freezing cold, and can't avoid it
Drufle (GM)	Luckily for you, you don't go down though. Due to special technicalities. Nickle closes his eyes and takes the impact, feeling his insides freezing up Nickle still floats in the air, but only just
Drufle (GM)	OHKO moves in PPP don't instantly knock a Pokemon out; instead, they just do as much damage as you have HP. Since you resist it, you are left with 1 hp!
Romain	tfw sturdy
Drufle (GM)	Jack!
Axel	"Nickle! Are you okay!"
Drufle (GM)	Your turn!
Nickle	"Z-z-z-z-tt--t-t---..."
Drufle (GM)	You can switch to another Pokemon, or have someone assist if you'd like!
Jack	"Ok Brunt, I think this isn't going to go well like this" "come back!"
Cici	wait i can help nickle out first
Jack	"Let's see what you can do, Cambria!"
Cici	right i can join fite
Drufle (GM)	On his turn, yes.

Drufle (GM)	Cambria, go ahead!
Jack	"do the thing!" Nickle 's eye begins to flicker Cambria shivering in the cold, she releases a water gun!
Nickle	poor girl she's not used to this cold
Cambria	does stab apply
Drufle (GM)	Yep! That just gives you the advantage, of course.
Cambria	what value?
Nickle	it gets the 2k roll
Cambria	so no damage mod
Nickle	it doens't add damage, it gives and advantage
Drufle (GM)	Your damage is normal, unless you have SPATK focus.
Nickle	the move should handle that on its own Cambria: Cambria used Water Gun! Target Snorunt Roll 4 6 2 + 4 AC 13 Damage 2
Drufle (GM)	A hit!
Nickle	nice hit
Drufle (GM)	The Snorunt goes down!

Drufle (GM)	Ground is weak to Ice, not Rock.
Cici	"...Do you guys want help, or...?" Nickle revs up with a newfound sense of vengence
Jack	stupid
Nickle	does Cici want to assist?
Cici	do they
Jack	"I'll holler when I'm dying, Cici!"
Cici	do i
Drufle (GM)	pffff
Cici	rock beats ice mopp
Nickle	now is the time
Romain	do i
Nickle	cause I'm about to attack
Drufle (GM)	Jack is so out of it right now.
Cici	how did we decide this works can i throw out terry and have him take a shot instnatly
Drufle (GM)	You may switch and still attack in the same turn.
Cici	or do i need to use clara
Drufle (GM)	That was our final decision.
Cici	"Alright, let's give this a shot!" Cici pulls out a pokeball from her waist, and checks the label
Cici	"Go, Terry!"
Drufle (GM)	This decision was mostly for speed purposes.
Cici	hug
Nickle	what speed is Terry? 4?
Jack	throw trash at goalie
Terry	"Trubbish!"
Drufle (GM)	The Glalie suddenly notices the Pokemon flanking it, and lazily rotates around.
Terry	Speed focus!
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead!
Nickle	ooh Terry moves like a god damn trash ninja
Nickle	after you then Nickle notices Terry, and moves behind the Glalie
Terry	"Give it a Poison Fang, Terry!"
Nickle	XD
Terry	terry motivates himself internally fuckin pumped Terry used Poison Fang! Target Glalie Roll 4 6 3 + 5 AC 14 Damage 2 de_stroyed
Drufle (GM)	And that's it! They are all down. Nickle falls to the ground
Jack	except for me
Terry	"Trubbeeeeeeeeeeesh!"
Cici	OMG YOU FORGOT AGAIN
Nickle	"zzz-z-zz-rr--r--r...."
Drufle (GM)	Shhhhhhh.
Cici	im laughing so hard
Drufle (GM)	It was a joke!

Cici	people ARE GUIVING ME WEIFDR LOOKS
Nickle	XD
Drufle (GM)	Seriously, I wouldn't forget this another time.
Cici	well theres only one person still around but HES LOOKIN AT ME
Drufle (GM)	That would be embarassing. Jack: Cambria used Water Gun! Target Snorunt Roll 2 5 2 + 4 AC 13 Damage 2
Cici	i should probably go back to my dorm Copper hands Drufle the Derp Award
Cici	im not catchin anything you guys clean up gimme a sec
Drufle (GM)	Well, that unfortunately misses.
Jack	wah
Drufle (GM)	Let's see what Snorunt does! Axel drops Rochelle and rushes out the Nickle Drufle (GM): Snorunt used Ice Beam! Target Cambria Roll 2 1 2 + 6 AC 14 Damage 1
Axel	if Cambria keeps having trouble, Rochelle will join
Drufle (GM)	GRRRR
Jack	rochelle rolls down a crevasse Rochelle rolls over into Jack's fight
Drufle (GM)	Alright, your turn again Cambria!
Jack	the snorunt is shivering too much Rochelle joins the fray
Rochelle	unwittingly
Jack	"you can do this girl!"
Rochelle	or is it? Jack: Cambria used Water Gun! Target Snorunt Roll 5 6 5 + 4 AC 13 Damage 2
Rochelle	alright, thats a hit I was not needed
Drufle (GM)	And that's actually it!
Rochelle	pick me up please Rochelle nudges Jack
Drufle (GM)	There we go, that was quite a fight.
Jack	"hooray! that was great Camby!"
Drufle (GM)	Everyone toss on 2 more EXP! Axel is rumaging around for a potion
Axel	EXP yes slurp Cambria prays in thanks to Helix
Drufle (GM)	So, who's catching Pokemon?
Cambria	i ham
Axel	That Rhyhorn is tempting
Drufle (GM)	Click on yourself, then press Capture.
Axel	whats its catch rate?
Drufle (GM)	Good question! It's 34, I believe.
Axel	34... can I get that with a Pokeball? Drufle (GM) throws the Master Ball at Glalie! Drufle (GM): Master Ball go! Capture Roll 113 Capture DC 48
Jack	input strength is for mon or ball?
Drufle (GM)	That's how they work, by the way. It's for the ball!
Jack	so poke is 20
Axel	20 + 2d6 + 6 would be my roll
Drufle (GM)	20 for Poke, 30 for Great, etc. Jack throws the Poké Ball at Snorunt! Jack: Poké Ball go! Capture Roll 36 Capture DC 30
Drufle (GM)	Fantastic!
Axel	I'll give it a shot
Jack	:D snorunt get
Drufle (GM)	And so another member joins the squad. Axel throws the Poké Ball at Rhyhorn! Axel: Poké Ball go! Capture Roll 33 Capture DC 34
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear...
Axel	sigh that's fine
Drufle (GM)	You sure?
Axel	Rhyhorn isn't a fave
Drufle (GM)	Alright then.
Axel	I'll let this go
Drufle (GM)	I believe Golurk wanted to catch the other Snorunt?
Romain	nah
Axel	I don't want to waste Ultras
Romain	literally zero moves haha
Axel	not even for the potential? of a ice/ghost?
Drufle (GM)	Alright then.
Romain	"Farewell, you shivering imps."
Drufle (GM)	So, treasure! Copper is mildly disapointed with not catching a mon
Copper	Jack, this is all you
Romain	good thing copper cant catch anything Hannan shivers in confusion
Axel	Hannan, that is an interesting name
Drufle (GM)	There, you should be able to control Hannan now.
Jack	so how to treasure again
Drufle (GM)	So, who makes the Attention roll?
Axel	Jack
Jack	me I guess
Axel	go Jack, win the game
Jack	it's the mountains
Axel	you can only succeed here we believe in you
Drufle (GM)	Click on yourself, and then Attention in the top left. Oh, whoops. I forgot, I never put in Jack's stats.
Axel	seriously?
Drufle (GM)	I didn't have them available!
Axel	we lost a phoone
Jack	even after I put them in the thing
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, I forgot!
Axel	just roll normally while Drufle sorts this out 2d6 + 6
Jack	rolling 2d6 + 6( 5 + 6 )+6 = 17
Axel	welcome back phoone
Jack	dat good?
Romain	it only takes a few seconds...
Axel	dat looks good you almost rolled max
Cici	wow i uh was about to refresh
Jack	"ahahaha! the mountains are my domaaaain!"
Axel	Romain, its seconds that can be spent in parrallel
Cici	ready to go through that whole ordeal again and it just reconnected
Axel	"Ummm...you okay, Jack?"
Drufle (GM)	Alright, one sec. Axel and Nickle look mildly concerned
Drufle (GM)	I'm still setting up your macros.
Cici	what have i walked in on Jack is overhwhelmed with Treasure Vision Rochelle steps away form Jack
Drufle (GM)	There!
Axel	we'll use them next time
Cambria	'with her master preoccupied, Cambria inches over to Hannan and ordains him'
Drufle (GM)	So, a 17?
Cambria	yah
Drufle (GM)	That is a damn huge treasure cache you just found.
Axel	wooo
Jack	fear my power
Drufle (GM)	Everyone roll 1d6.
Axel	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Jack	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
Cici	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4 and knuckles
Drufle (GM)	The 4 kids get Big Pearl, Hyper Potion, Revive, Potion
Romain	rolling 1d6( 1 ) = 1 good
Drufle (GM)	Jack gets Star Piece, 2 Full Heal, 2 Great Ball Romain gets 4 Potion, 5 Pokeball, 2 Revive, Ether Now Jack, make an Aptitude roll.
Axel	big pearl is worth what?
Drufle (GM)	For the Dowsing Machine. Big Pearl is 3000.
Jack	rolling 2d6 + 6( 4 + 4 )+6 = 14
Axel	I use a potion on Nickle
Drufle (GM)	Alright Jack, roll 1d6 two more times.
Cici	star piece was... $2000?
Drufle (GM)	4000.
Axel	I'm back up to 5000 pokeyen jeeze Cici probably has more now
Cici	noice
Axel	so much money
Cici	didnt i spend 2k on your apricorns
Drufle (GM)	Jack, get more treasure!
Jack	rolling 1d6( 1 ) = 1 rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5
Axel	we gotta start the labranch
Cici	wow yeah even with that money gone im at 5100
Drufle (GM)	Alright, you get one more each of the Star Dust and 4 Potion treasures I mentioned earlier.
Cici	so hows itemfinder work? ooh sick
Axel	each? all of us?
Drufle (GM)	Those entire caches, not just the Star dust and the Potions.
Cici	earlier?
Drufle (GM)	No, just Jack. Yes, the ones I listed about 3 minutes ago.
Axel	okay, that makes sense jack is suddenly rich
Cici	oh star piece not stardust
Drufle (GM)	The Itemfinder allows you to make an Aptitude check whenever you find treasure. For each 2 above 10, you get another treasure roll.
Cici	jacks the money man
Axel	wow thats crazy
Drufle (GM)	So Jack has just gone from being near-broke. To probably the richest member in the party.
Axel	yep uncontested
Cici	thats uh 8k
Drufle (GM)	Jack seems to have fallen over from the exceedingly high amount of money.
Cici	and a ton of items holy shit
Drufle (GM)	The Dowsing Machine is incredibly powerful!
Axel	"What...did you find there?"
Cici	​Cici: 1 Hyper Potion, 1 Revive, 1 Potion, $3000
Axel	1 Hyper Potion, 1 Revive, 1 Potion, $3000​
​Jack	4 Full Heals, 4 Great Balls, 4 Potions, 5 Pokeballs, 2 Revives, 1 Ether, $8000
​Romain	4 Potions, 5 Pokeballs, 2 Revives, 1 Ether
Drufle (GM)	Granted he rolled fairly well.
Cici	i tallied it up in mah notes
Axel	good thing Jac is a scientist
Jack	"I can't find my wallet"
Drufle (GM)	Thank you very much Cici.
Jack	thank you cic
Drufle (GM)	Jack is just, swimming in goods. Cici thumbs up Copper has Jack's Wallet
Copper	"kekekekkekekkee"
Cici	"Wow." "I knew pokemon hoarded items, but I never thought to check under the snow." "Good investment, that dowsing machine."
Jack	"give that back you... you electric drill chuck key!" Copper flies just out of reach
Copper	"Kekekekekek" "Jingle-lingle"
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately, nobody rolled a 6. So we don't get cool things yet.
Cici	99 Master Balls Axel is too busy with Nickle to notice Copper
Cici	we found: missingno
Axel	I need to check what Apricorns I need
Drufle (GM)	So, now what. We still have an hour left.
Axel	travel forth?
Drufle (GM)	How's everyone doing?
Cici	dis ocokir cookie so good
Axel	I'm fine, just Nickle is a bit beat up
Cici	i dont want to put irt down so im typing on ehanded
Drufle (GM)	Ocokir, huh?
Jack	can't I make a fossil check
Cici	new pokemon
Drufle (GM)	That's only if you get a 6 on the treasure roll, unfortunately.
Jack	ohh fair do's
Drufle (GM)	I changed the rules a bit for caves, since they would be more prevalent there.
Jack	ok
Drufle (GM)	So let me think. We don't really have enough time to do the event I have planned in Spinel. Anyone up for a sanctuary?
Jack	yeah im content to stop now or a sanctuary snow grotto
Axel	I mean, should we make camp then? who knows how long it takes to climb instead of normal-walk
Drufle (GM)	That's true.
Cici	base camp "Arceus, it's cold." "I wish I'd known that we were going to end up all the way up here... I should have bought winter clothing."
Axel	"Its certainly a bit colder than I remember it"
Jack	did the encounter have a backstory like the venipedes
Drufle (GM)	Hm?
Axel	"I had to travel across here when I first arrived"
Jack	"you had all the time in the world to do that back in town!"
Drufle (GM)	It had a backstory in that you happened upon a group of Pokemon that were particularly frightened.
Cici	"I didn't expect the road to end up... quite so cold, if I'm honest."
Axel	"R-r-r-romain? Could Candle Jack help start a fire?" Cici sighs Clara:
Drufle (GM)	The party sees a cave off to the side.
Axel	"We've not even gone that far up yet, and its already freezing"
Clara	:(
Drufle (GM)	Shall we move into the cave to get away from the bitter winds?
Axel	yes, but Axel wouldn't notice it
Drufle (GM)	Ah, true. Terry who has been hanging out since his stellar performance earlier, spots the cave Nickle: Attention Check: 15
Drufle (GM)	Nickle and Terry sure do.
Terry	"Trubbish! Trubb!" Nickle guides Axel to the cave Terry tugs on Cici's jacket sleeve.
Cici	"Oh? What's this?"
Jack	ah drufle see I started assuming that the glalie was the mummy of the two snorunt
Axel	"Hm? What is it?"
Jack	and the rhyhorn was being a bully
Cici	"Maybe we can take shelter in there." Axel picks up Rochelle and follows Nickle
Cici	"I hope it's safe..."
Jack	and now I feel AWFUL again
Drufle (GM)	Jack: That's sort of correct. Not entirely, but close.
Jack	I'd be a terrible pokemon trainer
Axel	Rhyhorn was playing? maaaybe? this is a neat cave "I-i-i-ice everywhere?"
Jack	is this a kings quest background
Cici	i think it was stampeding and the snorunt were just unfortunate enough to get in the way oh my god is it
Drufle (GM)	It is not a KQ background.
Jack	huh
Drufle (GM)	I certainly don't remember any icy caves from KQ.
Cici	"This is... much larger than I expected..."
Drufle (GM)	Unless there was one in 7, I remember little of that game.
Jack	there was the mountain
Drufle (GM)	Oh do you mean the music? I thought you meant the picture.
Jack	no the picture
Cici	no he meant picture
Drufle (GM)	The mountain from 6? That didn't have any ice. Copper , still holding Jack's Wallet, wanders about
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, we're in a nice little cave!
Axel	Is that hole in the ground actually there?
Jack	5
Axel	I smell legendary powers
Drufle (GM)	Would you like to find out? Rochelle: Attention Check: 12
Cici	"Be careful, everyone..."
Rochelle	apparently not Cici: Attention Check: 12 me neither actually that's a 6 what the fuck Romain: Attention Check: 17 Jack: Attention Check: 13
Cici	oh that was only one 6 still made the box blurp
Romain	i got two 6s
Drufle (GM)	You did! Axel wander around, not really looking where he's going
Drufle (GM)	This is a rather roughly hewn cave in the ice of the mountain. Rochelle isn't really paying attention either
Drufle (GM)	It's filled with numerous pits and crevasses here and there.
Cici	roughly hewn? does it look natural?
Drufle (GM)	Romain doesn't think so. Axel suddenly slips into a hole in the floor
Drufle (GM)	It has smooth edges at unusually clean angles.
Axel	A large one at that
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear!
Cici	"The Professor probably came this way..."
Axel	"WhaahaHEYEHEHEY!!! AAAH!!"
Cici	"Axel!" "Oh no!"
Drufle (GM)	Axel, not paying attention, slips on the ice and falls down a pit!
Jack	why Rochelle falls out of Axel's hands before he falls down Rochelle looks down the hole
Drufle (GM)	He falls onto a small slope, and slides down about 20 feet before abruptly stopping at another floor.
Nickle	"ZzZZZZTTRR!! Nickle rushes after Axel
Drufle (GM)	He hears an odd clanging from around him.
Axel	"Uh...guys...are you there?"
Jack	"Axel I respected you once but now... I can see you're an utter moron!"
Axel	"Oh dear..." Axel hears Jack
Axel	"I" "I can't argue with that..."
Jack	"ALWAYS pay attention to your surroundings when spelunking!" Jack is SO MAD
Drufle (GM)	Axel, try an Attention check. Rochelle topples down the hole intentionally Rochelle: Attention Check: 10
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear.
Axel	wrong impersanation but yeah, I see shit its too dark
Jack	rochelle beans axel on the noggin and smites him
Drufle (GM)	You don't see the Regice coming up from behind you then, huh?
Jack	aaaaaaa
Axel	FFFFF
Romain	hi reggie
Cici	haha what the fuck his body
Axel	I KNEW THIS WAS A BAD IDEA
Cici	it's regi
Axel	MY BODY IS NOT READY!!
Drufle (GM)	The Frozen Pokemon beeps and buzzes a few times, examining Axel.
Romain	in the tub with regice Axel freezes up Jack dies right here
Nickle	no way you guys can see this
Jack	"NOw what are those weird noises?!"
Nickle	"ZZZT, ZZZT, ZZZRT!!"
Drufle (GM)	Regice spins effortlessly around to the front of Axel, and stares down at him.
Cici	can we actually see what's down there btw
Drufle (GM)	Make Attention checks! Nickle comes face to face with the Regice...maybe not a good iea
Jack	if we move closer maybe
Romain	"Have you found a robot embedded in the ice?" Cici: Attention Check: 16
Nickle	-Uh oh- Romain: Attention Check: 13
Cici	hell yeah
Drufle (GM)	Wow, Cici absolutely sees what's happening.
Axel	"Um...Yes I have" Cici represses her gut instinct to scream
Axel	"Sort of?"
Drufle (GM)	Regice pokes Nickle.
Cici	"A-Axel. Don't make any sudden movements." "It seems to be friendly, s-so let's keep it that way."
Axel	"Uh..okay...Nickle, careful please" Nickle rest on Axels shoulder, watching teh Regice
Regice	"RrrrrEEGGICE"
Cici	cici is a hoenn native so she's fully aware of what this thing is and how dangerous it can be
Nickle	-I do not dare make a move-
Cici	"Axel? Maybe you should... talk to it?"
Jack	so what the hell do we do Regice makes a small ball of ice and places it on Axel's lap.
Axel	"T-t-t-talk?"
Jack	"maybe Nickle can communicate"
Axel	"Umm...thank you?"
Jack	"they both beep. don't they?" Axel eyes the chilly ice ball
Regice	"REGIIIIICE"
Nickle	-I don't run on the same software Regice looks up through the hole. Cici laughs nervously
Axel	"Umm...okay...I recognise this game"
Cici	"H-hello!"
Axel	"Maybe..."
Cici	"Sorry our friend dropped in on you!"
Jack	8I Axel picks up the ice ball Regice blinks its numerous eyes.
Axel	"Ummm...do you want to play? Is that what this is f-f-f-for?"
Romain	a marriage proposal
Axel	Dang it Romain, Axel is scared out of his mind and your making marriage jokes Regice stares expressionlessly at Axel and then points one of its hands up the hole.
Romain	"Should I fish him out?"
Axel	"Ice ball up to the hole?"
Cici	"I think it wants you to toss it up?"
Axel	"Umm, okay, here it goes"
Jack	if this involves swap-porting im gonnna scream Axel attempts to toss the ball up to Cici Axel: Human Capacity Check: 9 oh dear
Cici	"U-uh..."
Drufle (GM)	Cici, make an HC check. Cici leans out to catch the ball
Drufle (GM)	He was terrible at it but maybe you're good enough?
Cici	im gonna fall on top of him Human Capacity Check: 17 Axel attempts to toss the ball, but does a very bad job of it
Cici	or not
Drufle (GM)	You catch the ball!
Jack	hell yeah
Axel	does my throw even reach high enough?
Cici	~supreme baseball champion~
Jack	GM sez yes
Axel	how? you know what, fine, go with it
Cici	"I-I got it!" Regice turns back to Axel and blinks all of its eyes at once.
Cici	"Whew."
Axel	"Uhhh..." Regice grabs Axel by the sides and proceeds to slide up the slope.
Cici	lmao
Jack	slide up
Romain	regicescalator
Axel	"Uh, what? Uhhh...." Axel feels the bitter cold of the Regice's grip Nickle hangs on to Axel
Drufle (GM)	Hanging upside down from the ceiling above the others, Regice drops Axel back into the cave above.
Jack	Popsaxel Rochelle watches from below
Cici	"Axel!!"
Rochelle	she's still down there
Axel	"Oof" "Umm...thank you"
Jack	"I didn't expect that"
Rochelle	save me?
Cici	"Are you okay?"
Regice	"REEEEEEEEGICE"
Cici	"Uh uh um." "Thank you, Regice." Rochelle hops around, trying to get up the slope Jack strides over to Axel, slaps him in the face, and takes rochelle's ball
Cici	"Axel say thank you." Cici grunts through gritted teeth
Jack	"get in, rochelle"
Axel	"I-i-i-i-did"
Romain	"You should check your skin for frostbite."
Cici	"Say thank you again!!"
Drufle (GM)	Regice stares down at the party, still upside down on the ceiling.
Cici	"It's not leaving!" Cici is sweating bullets
Axel	"Uhh...Thank you!"
Cici	despite the whole cold thing
Axel	"That was...fun"
Romain	"If Regice froze your nerves you won't feel anything..." Jack gives rochelle back to Axel Cici whispers now wave
Axel	How did you get Rochelle?
Romain	good thing candlejack is in its poke ball eh
Cici	"Let's back away very slowly." Axel waves to the Regice
Romain	regice wouldnve been so offended Regice blinks its eyes in an inward pattern and proceeds back down the slope.
Jack	I took your ball offf your goddamn belt and returned her
Cici	lmao
Jack	your welcome
Cici	11/10
Axel	was she in range?
Jack	it's a laser beam!
Cici	regice is actually one scary motherfucker
Axel	okay fine
Drufle (GM)	Also, it's only like 20 feet down. With a straight line of sight.
Axel	"Ummm...alright...I think we need to go" "Thank you again, and sorry for disturbing you"
Cici	"We should leave. Immediately."
Drufle (GM)	You hear the beeping fade away from below you.
Jack	could we have caught that Cici sighs
Cici	"That was close."
Axel	holy cow can't get a read on that guy
Drufle (GM)	I doubt it, but you could try if you want.
Cici	no it would have literally killed us
Axel	so robotic
Jack	no
Drufle (GM)	You can't actually control it though. Not without the Legendary Training Boon.
Jack	ohhhh well then
Axel	maybe someday we could return
Cici	itd be like yellow in pokemon special
Axel	and you could try to gain its favor
Cici	where mewtwo just kinda hung out with her
Drufle (GM)	It's a 58 to catch him, by the way.
Axel	ultra ball
Cici	"What was that thing it tried to give you anyway?"
Romain	ez
Axel	Actually, turn it into a Dusk Ball first to help
Cici	"I nearly collapsed trying to grab it..."
Drufle (GM)	With an ultra ball, you need a max roll.
Axel	oh
Drufle (GM)	40+18.
Axel	never mind then need better stats + better balls
Drufle (GM)	With a 6 Aptitude. Yes, what is that ice ball?
Axel	Cici has it
Jack	regi egg? Rochelle pops out of her ball and sits in Axel's hands
Cici	meanwhile ive finished the wooper pokedex
Axel	"I don't know..." "It looks like ice?" Attention Check: 12
Romain	sperm package
Axel	no wait, thats aptitude
Drufle (GM)	That sure does look like ice. Axel: Aptitude Check: 14
Jack	"maybe it's never-melt ice"
Axel	slightly better
Cici	"You think it's a present, then?"
Axel	"I think so"
Drufle (GM)	The ball seems to be... not cold, actually.
Romain	"A good luck charm."
Axel	"I mean, it didn't take it back"
Drufle (GM)	It's very slippery and extremely round, but not as cold as you would expect.
Axel	super ice? nevermelt?
Cici	"I didn't really get a clear view, Axel."
Axel	I dunno
Jack	does it look like a giant marble
Cici	"It just sort of... materialized this?"
Axel	"Err...yes"
Cici	plot twist: lustrous orb
Axel	That'd be cool
Cici	we've summoned palkia
Jack	I was thinking Mega Stone but w/e
Cici	big fucking mega stone holy shit
Axel	Mega stone would be amaze
Cici	aren't they like marble sized
Axel	but yeah, its kinda big roll appt?
Drufle (GM)	Mega stones can vary in size.
Cici	how big are mega stones actually
Axel	I rolled 14
Jack	I always thought Key Stone were marble-sized
Cici	i mean rq ate his
Jack	but Mega Stones themselves were dragonball-sized
Cici	how do the pokemon hold them if they're that big hard 2 fite
Axel	most evolved mons are big
Drufle (GM)	Axel: I gave you all the information you can get with a 14.
Romain	theyre all marbles
Jack	attached to funny hats
Axel	oh "Its very smooth..."
Cici	should the rest of us roll drufle
Drufle (GM)	Sure!
Romain	mega stones even have the marble swirl thing Cici: Attention Check: 11

Drufle (GM)	Ah, there's the number I was looking for.
Axel	woo
Cici	god we suck at attention rolls good thing someones here to pick up the slack :B
Jack	"According to my extensive mountaineering knowledge..."
Drufle (GM)	Jack notices that there seems to be inscriptions shallowly written into the surface of the ball.
Romain	Curse Ball
Cici	according to my research... aw man what was her name
Axel	oh?
Cici	that girl from magic school bus
Jack	"a script... but who wrote it???"
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately for him, it certainly isn't written in English.
Jack	Miss Frizzle?
Axel	"Writing?"
Cici	no the one with the book
Jack	penny?
Cici	who said 'according to my research' all the time
Drufle (GM)	DW?
Cici	DW was the sister on arthur

Drufle (GM)	DA
Cici	DA! yes
Axel	Mysterious ball?
Drufle (GM)	Dorothy Ann.
Cici	deviantart the student mystery solved
Drufle (GM)	It sure is mysterious!
Cici	next up: what the fuck is this shit
Axel	is that all the info we have?
Cici	"Script, Jack?"
Axel	we gotta look this up in the next town
Cici	"Mind if I take a look?"
Jack	"go ahead"
Axel	also, did we ever figure out the Eviolite?
Cici	is it by chacne
Drufle (GM)	Do you happen to understand Regice's written language?
Cici	braille
Drufle (GM)	GASP
Cici	i dont think id know braille but i think id be able to tell what it is
Drufle (GM)	My plot twist!
Axel	Braille obviously
Romain	wheres the other orb
Axel	Its what they're known for
Jack	qyuick find a blind man
Drufle (GM)	Other orb?
Cici	"This... this is Braille."
Axel	Axel doesn't know this, of course
Romain	what is with tabletop games and orbs
Axel	"Brail?"
Drufle (GM)	Orbs are cool!
Jack	yeah the yellow one on the wall
Axel	incorrectly pronounced
Cici	"Braille. It's a written language used nowadays for the blind." "But supposedly it dates back to ancient times."
Axel	"How do they...oh wait"
Cici	"If I can get a Pokenav signal, we could look up how to translate this..."
Jack	why couldn't it have given us a rosetta ice slab
Cici	"It's raised bumps."
Axel	"Top of a mountain would get good signal, no interfearance"
Cici	"So you can feel it, rather than see it." "That's probably why we almost missed it."
Axel	then we shall climb
Cici	"I was worried because of, well, you know, the stories, but..." Cici is excited so she's babbling a bit
Cici	no one else even knows what that was she hasnt really explained lmao
Axel	"Cici...slow down" "I don't understand half of what you are saying"
Cici	"If it gave us something with language on it, it must be trying to communicate, and maybe this message is-" "Er. Sorry."
Axel	"I got that last part"
Drufle (GM)	The party exits the cave, hoping to find a better place to spend the night than a confused legendary's haven.
Axel	Later that night, Regice secretly builds then an igloo
Drufle (GM)	Luckily for them, there's an uninhabited offcropping nearby.
Cici	"I was hoping we'd find signs of the Professor in there, but now I'm really hoping that he didn't go in there at all." Cici sighs worriedly
Axel	"I...don't think the Regice was malicious"
Drufle (GM)	Would you like to attempt the translation now, or later?
Axel	Translate nw now
Golurk	the sphere is actually a tracking device
Cici	"They're not really malicious, per se, but they were created to be weapons."
Golurk	the regice was a guy in a costume
Cici	"That's how the stories go, at least."
Axel	"Oh...oh..."
Cici	"They're the ultimate security guards, really."
Axel	"I guess that explains a few things..."
Cici	"Unless it's been displaced like the other legendary creatures, there's something in there that someone didn't want found." "Now why don't we take a look at this inscription?" Cici looks for a Pokenav signal
Axel	"I got a gut feeling that the other regis are on this mountain somewhere..."
Drufle (GM)	The signal seems to be quite strong!
Jack	btw drufle I dinged
Cici	"Yeesh, I hope not."
Axel	Jack dinged@
Drufle (GM)	The open air lets the signal move quite easily.
Axel	get rock moves
Drufle (GM)	Jack: Excellent!
Jack	I now ave 5 in phys training
Axel	you've been wanting those, yes? Cici opens up Moogle and searches for Braille, and begins translating
Drufle (GM)	Put in your boons and extra point whenever you like.
Jack	and mountain boon
Drufle (GM)	Noted and added.
Cici	when did you ding? from snorunt?
Axel	almost the same thing I did
Jack	yah
Axel	More attack, get boon
Cici	or did we get more exp and i missed it ok
Romain	http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Regigigas_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Biology fuck
Cici	biology fuck
Drufle (GM)	Your attack, at least.
Cici	u little shit
Axel	oh...oh dear
Drufle (GM)	I don't have anywhere to put the points, really.
Axel	that sleeping Regigigas
Jack	regigigegg
Cici	spoilers much we're all trying to translate this inscription
Drufle (GM)	You know, I'm going to be honest.
Axel	Did Regice just hand us its master?
Cici	and romain just googles 'big scary sphere'
Drufle (GM)	I hadn't even considered that.
Cici	and is like 'holy shit guys'
Drufle (GM)	But thanks for the future idea!
Axel	oh, thats find Drufle
Jack	keep it in mind then :P
Axel	maybe Registeel
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, that transcription! How about an Aptitude check?
Axel	all of us?
Drufle (GM)	Just as a general "how good am i at translation" thing Anyone that wants to. Nickle: Aptitude Check: 16 I am the master of translation Cici: Aptitude Check: 16 16s for days Nickle watches over Cici's shoulder a bit, before trying to work the pokenav himself
Drufle (GM)	Man, you guys really want this thing translated.
Cici	im a professional
Drufle (GM)	That's good enough for me!
Nickle	Teamwork
Cici	"Alright, so it looks like it says..."
Drufle (GM)	Through a significant amount of combined effort, you find the translation!
Cici	D I C K B U T T
Romain	H e y I m G r u m p
Drufle (GM)	"Your imagination is your weakness. Your beliefs, a downfall. Your hope, an end."
Cici	Y O U R A D H E R E P R O J E C T W O N D E R F U L "Well... that's a downer."
Jack	oh that's much more ominous
Drufle (GM)	And I think we'll end it there!
Jack	imscared.png
Cici	the party goes to sleep to the sweet tune of existential dread
Axel	"Well..." "I'm...not sure I expected that"
Jack	imagine if we hadn't fallen down there HMMMMMMM Nickle writes in Axel's Notebook
Cici	say who has the eviolite that hasnt been identified
Drufle (GM)	Hm?
Nickle	Drufle, Nickle needs his own notes section
Drufle (GM)	Somebody has an eviolite?
Cici	did we ever do anything with that or does will have it
Nickle	its getting larget
Cici	drufle: that pink rock that we forgot about entirely
Jack	will prolly has it he will need it more
Cici	lets say will has it i guess
Nickle	I dunno
Drufle (GM)	Oh, that isn't an eviolite.
Cici	oh really
Nickle	oh

Cici	i have it
Drufle (GM)	Nickle has a handout, now.
Nickle	woo
Romain	what
Drufle (GM)	Alright, everyone can go now if they'd like.

Jack	pls
Romain	ok ._.
Cici	night mopp
Jack	thanku and goodnight
Romain	nigth
Drufle (GM)	ftaghn
Cici	so who wants to hang onto the Sphere Of Sadness let's give it to axel
Drufle (GM)	Seems like a good idea.
Cici	is it like the locket from harry potter does carrying it just make you sad
Nickle	I guess I could carry the orb
Drufle (GM)	Let's keep the mysterious gem-looking things spread out amongst the party.
Nickle	Axel I mean if you don't say who has it, Nickle automatically gets it its a law
Drufle (GM)	Right, I think that's enough for now. Let's shut this down.
Nickle	yes
Drufle (GM)	Session end!
Nickle	is it day 4? I'm writing in my notes
