![]() Drufle (GM) | So! Welcome to session 10. |
![]() Cici | so |
![]() Axel | Session 10! DOUBLE DIGITS Air Horns |
![]() Cici | double the digits double the fun |
![]() Axel | yes |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Last time we had a gym battle, as well as some new acquisitions! They were pretty neat. |
![]() Jack | Look at Walter over there sulking bleeding out |
![]() Axel | poor Walter |
![]() Jack | AUGH |
![]() Axel | he got Sucker Punched suddenly everyone |
![]() Drufle (GM) | There's all the pokemon that fainted during that battle, by the way. |
![]() Axel | oof |
![]() Drufle (GM) | 6 of yours to 4 of his, not too bad. |
![]() Axel | 6??? |
![]() Jack | that's a whole team's worth |
![]() Axel | oh, total |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, total. |
![]() Axel | I was thinking you meant "6 of Axels, 4 of Jack's" that would have been a bit confusing |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Looks like 5 of Jack's and one of Axel's. Although one of Jack's was technically Axel's. |
![]() Axel | I revived one, though |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That did happen yeah. By the way Cici, that's Daryl there. |
![]() Axel | I don't think Nickel ever rejoined??? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | He's not actually in the room though. Nah, he didn't. |
![]() Axel | good use of revives good job me |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So, how much cash are we holding right now? I feel like the party is fairly rich at the moment. |
![]() Axel | I have 20000 muns |
![]() Cici | is daryl uh |
![]() Axel | that gym was lucrative |
![]() Cici | is he the repair guy from skyward sword |
![]() Axel | yes |
![]() Cici | nice |
![]() Axel | he very much is |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep. |
![]() Jack | I have 19600?? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That's basically the design I pictured him as. |
![]() Cici | my character sheet says i have 5100 |
![]() Jack | yes |
![]() Axel | wait, you have less muns than me now?? |
![]() Jack | do you need a handout |
![]() Cici | i dont know if you guys got me any more cash while i was Away |
![]() Axel | how did you manage that? |
![]() Cici | no clue i think i went shopping |
![]() Axel | that might have been it I'll be shopping soon too because now we can Fly away, whereever we want |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well a lot of your cash has been coming from loot and Gym battles. |
![]() Axel | well, I can fly |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Neither of which Cici participates in. |
![]() Axel | that is true I had half this amount before the gym for perspective |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So I think it's best for the party to stop by the Center to heal up all the poor Pokemon, and then we'll head out? |
![]() Axel | but we just give each other money anyways |
![]() Cici | i think i might have paid for someones key item come to think of it |
![]() Jack | yeah |
![]() Cici | yeah no worries m8 |
![]() Axel | lets heal up much needed |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh yes, you bought the apricorn kit right? |
![]() Axel | yus |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I forgot you guys had two key items. Ah well. |
![]() Axel | it happens |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The party leaves the gym and begins walking back to the Center. |
![]() Jack | but what's the apricorns for |
![]() Axel | pokeball machen |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, making Pokeballs. |
![]() Jack | not milkshakes? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | No, those are berries. |
![]() Axel | I don't think apricorns are edible |
![]() Jack | ok aprishakes from HGSS |
![]() Cici | apricorns are more like pinecones than berries i think theyre not edible raw |
![]() Axel | If they can be turned into balls, they have to be pretty tough |
![]() Jack | you definitely turned them into health drinks for your olympic dreams well, your mons |
![]() Drufle (GM) | As the group approaches the Center from a distance, they see a large Pokemon sitting outside of the building. |
![]() Axel | uh oh |
![]() Jack | "now what's this all about?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Before they can reach it, a man walks out of the Center, waves inside, and hops on the Pokemon and flies away. |
![]() Cici | it's donkey kong |
![]() Jack | "My machop's neck is broken" |
![]() Axel | "Flight?" woops not spoken ignore that |
![]() Jack | it used up B |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can make an Attention check if you really want to try and see what it is. |
![]() Axel | it didn't happen yes sure |
![]() Jack | I will! |
![]() Axel | everyone join in Jack: Attention |
| Check: 14
Nickel:
Attention | |
| Check: 12 | |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Does Cici remember how to make checks? |
![]() Cici | i dont remember that i ever set up my macro properly tbh Drufle (GM): Attention |
| Check: 15
No, it's there.
Click on your pog, then up in the upper left. | |
![]() Cici | whats the command for it |
![]() Axel | nice roll, Cici |
![]() Drufle (GM) | All of your checks are there. |
![]() Cici | ah right i was trying to use a /command like a NERD |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nah, that's old school. |
![]() Axel | there are not a whole lot of commands |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well Cici is the only one to actually make out the man and Pokemon. |
![]() Axel | we are bad at seeing |
![]() Cici | i've got the glasses and whatnot axel's are perpetually blurry. |
![]() Axel | I do too! |
![]() Cici | perpetually. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The man seems to be dressed very formally, with a full suit and tie with glasses. The Pokemon appears to be a Staraptor. |
![]() Cici | its steven stone i mean uh |
![]() Axel | Steven had a Skarm, not a Star |
![]() Cici | "What a massive Staraptor! I don't know that I've ever seen one that large before..." |
![]() Axel | "Staraptor? Where?" |
![]() Jack | "Is that what it was? I couldn't tell" (is it still day) |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep! You were just really far away. |
![]() Jack | "the sky's too bright" >_< |
![]() Cici | "I'm quite positive, going off the wing structure and coloration." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Also, you know, snow town. It tends to be a bit cloudy around here. |
![]() Jack | I can't look at cloud cover for more than 10 seconds my eyes water truly, I am a troglodyte |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well go on into the center! |
![]() Jack | "way's open now I guess" |
![]() Axel | "Well, alright...was it that thing flying away?" |
![]() Jack | "yes!" |
![]() Axel | "Oh..." "Speaking of flying...we might want to fly ourselves" |
![]() Jack | "I'd love to, but I don't think there's a fossil lab in this town." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | (there isn't) |
![]() Axel | "I-I'm sure Wolfram can carry us all...he's quite large" |
![]() Jack | "a shame really, I've found a lot of them just wandering around the mountains." Cici frowns at Axel |
![]() Jack | "Axel, Wolfram is like a Camerupt with a predatory streak. I wouldn't get on him for an Avaluggite!" |
![]() Cici | "Are you sure he's strong enough for that? I know Skarmory are awfully heavy, but we have a lot of gear..." "And... Yes, there is the question of his... disposition." |
![]() Nickel | "Zzzrttt" -Poor idea. Wolfram is unpredictable- |
![]() Axel | "O-oh...okay...right, silly idea...sorry" |
![]() Jack | "you might be able to. The question is, what do we do afterwards?" (Drufle assume we are in the center now) |
![]() Axel | "Well I...Chrom here is an eevee and..." |
![]() Jack | we ain't just milling around in the snow |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can move between locations yourselves if you feel like it, but alright! The Center is still empty aside from Nurse Joy, who is currently cleaning some dishes behind the counter. |
![]() Jack | i can? |
![]() Axel | walking and talking into the center Nurse Joy turns around at the door opening. |
![]() Axel | "I would like to return to a larger city, buy a Thunderstone..." |
![]() Nurse Joy | "Oh, hello again! How did the battle go?" |
![]() Jack | "Ehhh, we won, in the end" |
![]() Axel | "And I'm...not too fond of traversing the mountain...again" |
![]() Jack | "trial by fire, though" |
![]() Axel | "Oh, uh, yeah, the battle went alright" |
![]() Jack | "we've got six here that need seeing to." |
![]() Nurse Joy | "Oh my, he gave quite a fight! Let me deal with them quickly then." |
![]() Cici | "Perhaps it would be faster if we were to simply head down the mountains on the other side. Head to a new city, rather than retracing our steps." |
![]() Jack | "Sorry if we're being inconvenient." |
![]() Nurse Joy | "No no, this is my job!" Nurse Joy smiles and takes the Pokeballs. |
![]() Axel | "Jack has...two fossils now? He needs a fossil lab..." |
![]() Jack | "I need a waiver on team size! I don't want to send anyone away..." |
![]() Axel | haven't you been doing that a lot? |
![]() Jack | doesn't mean I like it :T Nurse Joy turns and talks over her shoulder. |
![]() Nurse Joy | "If you're going down the mountains the other way, you have quite a distance to go before you reach a city!" |
![]() Axel | thankfully levels are tied to trainers, not mons so you can "train" mons in the box |
![]() Jack | ture rue |
![]() Axel | ooooh that's a long trek we are at 4...which leads down to either 11 or 7 or |
![]() Nurse Joy | "There's Zirconne Village far to the southeast, Lazulin City a bit further north, and Rubellin City farther east." |
![]() Axel | all of them are really far away "Uhh...do you have a map?" |
![]() Nurse Joy | "All three of them have gyms, if you're planning on continuing the challenge!" "Oh, of course! I would've thought you all would have one by now!" |
![]() Axel | "I thought I did...did I?" Nurse Joy puts the Pokeballs down and reaches under the counter. |
![]() Jack | "honestly we ought to..." Cici sighs Nurse Joy slides a few holo-maps onto the counter. Axel looks over at Nickel. He shakes his head. |
![]() Cici | "Axel, I'm HOLDING the map." "Right now." "Here it is." Cici waves it in his face |
![]() Axel | "Oh..." |
![]() Jack | "figured as much" Nurse Joy giggles. |
![]() Nickel | "Zzt?" -When did you get that?- |
![]() Nurse Joy | "I'm glad someone on your side is prepared!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm pretty sure Aidan gave you a map in like, sesssion 2. |
![]() Jack | an eternity ago |
![]() Axel | I don't remember |
![]() Cici | yeah honestly its in the documents because we actually have one |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Precisely! |
![]() Axel | I was unaware of that but alright Cici has map |
![]() Cici | "Hm... Perhaps backtracking isn't such a bad idea after all..." |
![]() Axel | "It...looks about as long both ways..." how long would it take to fly from one place to another? |
![]() Jack | "I don't wanna walk that" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | We said it was what, one hour per square on the map at walking speed? |
![]() Axel | yes but what about flight? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Flying is much faster, so let's say it's like 5 squares per hour. Plus you don't have to follow the routes. So you can take diagonals. |
![]() Axel | I was hoping to take Jack's Old Amber and fly over to some lab and get him the aerodactyl that way |
![]() Jack | that'd be fine by me |
![]() Axel | it'd take a few hours back and forth though city 2 had the fossil lab, right? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let me do the calculation. And yes, that's Tormalia City. |
![]() Jack | this map could do with a proper grid |
![]() Axel | it does sort of? its all squares |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It's about a 3.5 hour flight from here to Tormalia. Does that seem reasonable? |
![]() Jack | get it all done in half a day, sure |
![]() Drufle (GM) | With the 5 square/hour flight. |
![]() Cici | are we all going to fly or just axel |
![]() Drufle (GM) | How many of you have Flying types? |
![]() Jack | just axel I think |
![]() Axel | You have made it clear that you do not trust Wolfram |
![]() Cici | tru |
![]() Jack | we'll either have to make our way to next town |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Remember that in PPP, all Flying types can use Fly. But only them. |
![]() Cici | i dont have any |
![]() Jack | or wait here and find something to do |
![]() Cici | ;x we could start walking |
![]() Axel | "I...mmmmight be able to get the Old Amber to a lab by flight..." "Then we'd have two fliers" |
![]() Jack | "really? that'd be excellent if you could!" |
![]() Cici | by the time axel gets done in tormalia we can meet him at the intersection on the way north |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Aerodactyl is... big enough for one, certainly. Dunno about two. He can probably do it. |
![]() Axel | freakin' PIDGEY can do 1 |
![]() Jack | I hate how tiny real aero's body is the anime got it right |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Bulbapedia says he's 5'11", but that seems ridiculous. |
![]() Axel | its probably length |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Besides, Pokemon have wild height differences all the time. |
![]() Axel | but my Pidgey argument still stands |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Also, were any of you planning on going to the ranchlab? |
![]() Jack | nobody wants to ride a pidgey! oh yeah that reminds me |
![]() Axel | we were going to do that, wern't we? |
![]() Jack | would their be reviving facilities at Hawthorn's lab? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I believe you have to buy that, but let me check quickly. If it isn't something you can buy, we'll just say he has one. Nope, you get fossil-reviving purposes from buying a Museum. ack! |
![]() Axel | I really hope Aero doesn't end up being ANOTHER wolfram |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Which I don't think you guys can do yet! How many Pokemon are in your collective Pokedex? |
![]() Axel | Museum seems a ways off, maybe |
![]() Jack | ok so that plan is scuppered |
![]() Axel | I have 6 mons total 1 is a dupe with Jack |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I count about 24, including all 5 characters. You need 40 to buy the Museum. |
![]() Axel | welp |
![]() Cici | dango |
![]() Axel | Cici, get to work |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You also need to buy part-ownership, which I don't think you've even done yet! |
![]() Axel | no we have not |
![]() Cici | for the pokedex tab in the character sheets |
![]() Axel | we have done -nothing- |
![]() Cici | would it then be more useful to keep track of everyone in the group's pokemon like i mean |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yes, probably. |
![]() Cici | can we use the Anime Rule that you can scan ur firends pokemen |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Of course! Go ahead and mark off everyone you have. All the Pokemon are available to you Cici, correct? For dex-writing purposes. |
![]() Cici | true |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright! So Axel is heading off to Tormalia, and Cici/Jack are heading off to the eastern side of Galens? |
![]() Axel | if you guys keep going, it'll take me a little longer to fly |
![]() Jack | I think so? or was it north? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well it's actually due south. |
![]() Axel | oh right, I need to get Rochelle back |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You're at 4. Heading down from the mountains is due south into the grasslands, and then east into the savannah. |
![]() Jack | Didn't Cici want to go to 6? |
![]() Axel | isn't 6 up north? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | If you want to go to 6 you'll probably run into Will. That's where he's headed at the moment! |
![]() Jack | oh right we're _avoiding_ him |
![]() Drufle (GM) | :P |
![]() Jack | until such a time as Streak can return |
![]() Axel | he's been taking his sweet tim eup there long, scenic route up there |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Considering 6 is in the exact opposite direction, that would be a bit more of a trek. But sure, that's also an option! |
![]() Jack | (which I don't think is gonna happen ever at this rate) |
![]() Drufle (GM) | At this point, I'm willing to let you guys go wherever you please. You could even go to the fancy locations if you'd like, but all of those are a bit far away. |
![]() Axel | once we have another flier, we'll have even more freedom |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well let's have Axel do his part, and in the meantime Cici and Jack can decide what they'd like to do. |
![]() Axel | alright |
![]() Cici | hmmm |
![]() Axel | "hey, Jack? M-may I have the old amber?" "I can get you the Aerodactyl back at Tormalia" |
![]() Jack | "only if you give me back Bluejohn's ball :P" |
![]() Cici | streak's had more free time recently |
![]() Axel | "Oh, right" |
![]() Cici | maybe we could actually meet up with him again ? Axel hands Bluejohn back |
![]() Jack | LOOK ITS THEM "thanks" Jack hands over the rock |
![]() Axel | "And I...need to grab Rochelle again" Axel acquires amber Axel grabs Rochelle's ball from the Nurse |
![]() Axel | "I'll call you when I get there, okay?" (he's totally going to forget to call) |
![]() Jack | "okay!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | If streak is capable of doing sessions again, of course we could meet up with him! Axel hops on top of Wolfram |
![]() Axel | "Okay...easy...lets...WAH!!" Wolfram launches INTO THE WIDE BLUE YONDER |
![]() Wolfram | Wolfram AWAY!!! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | By the way, I've made the executive decision in secret that you only have to make Fly checks when going to new locations. |
![]() Jack | "Dear lord he's going to die" ok |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Or flying over unknown territory. |
![]() Cici | i c |
![]() Wolfram | but what if we fail?? |
![]() Cici | you die |
![]() Wolfram | do we fall? |
![]() Jack | you fall off |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, we'll see when that happens! |
![]() Wolfram | crash land into unknown territory? |
![]() Jack | fly into one of those distortions |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You might want to have a spare character ready. |
![]() Jack | from ORAS suddenly Zekrom |
![]() Wolfram | I have Copper, I can handle a Zek |
![]() Axel | Right, here I am, at Tormalia are we in dif rooms? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | After a swift and fairly long flight, Axel and Wolfram kind of tumble into Tormalia City. |
![]() Jack | that's an oxymoron there |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Unfortunately I can't split the party like that. |
![]() Axel | alas "R-right...where is the lab?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | By swift I mean more of... dangerous I suppose. |
![]() Jack | turbulent |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, that's it. Tormalia City is very busy today! You land in the main square, where you see a number of bizarre characters around. |
![]() Axel | "Okay...I can see over...most of these heads" (Druf, I still have Bluejohn access) (probably should take that away) |
![]() Drufle (GM) | There's a man peddling some weird objects, a woman dressed in vibrant clothing dancing, and a tall man dressed in all white clothing standing on a podium shouting to the crowd. Yeah, alright. |
![]() Axel | can I see...anything? where am I even going? I don't want to keep the others waiting |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Make an Attention check to see if you remember where the lab is. Nickel: Attention |
| Check: 11 | |
![]() Jack | Only Axel would ever need this |
![]() Nickel | ah crap |
![]() Jack | and there's the result we all wanted Nickel can't see. He doesn't even know where he is |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well instead of walking towards the lab, you think "Ah, of course it's that way!" You walk through the crowd in approximately the opposite direction, towards the shouting man. |
![]() Axel | why the shouting man? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Because he's in the opposite direction of the lab. |
![]() Nickel | "Zzzzzt?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | He seems to be yelling about the legendaries that have been appearing everywhere. |
![]() Nickel | "Zrt..." -Of course- |
![]() Axel | "Hm? What is he..." we need a map, badly |
![]() Drufle (GM) | As you get closer, you can make out some of what he's saying. |
![]() Axel | why didn't we take Cici's map? oh god, its the PLOT |
![]() Strange Man | "We've received more reports lately about more mythical beasts in the mountains! Rayquaza, Articuno, some even say Palkia has been spotted high in the Galensi mountains!" Strange Man is pointing to a map of Galens next to him, with little pictures of legendary Pokemon stuck all over it. Nickel takes out his notes and writes down these names, along with "speculative" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The man is dressed very bizarrely, now that you're a bit closer. He's wearing an all-white suit, with a pale yellow tie. He also seems to be wearing a... cape? |
![]() Nickel | I smell villainry with my nonexistant nose |
![]() Drufle (GM) | He has short black hair, and a sharp jaw. He's smiling as he shouts out more rumored locations of legendaries. Axel and Nickel look at each other for a second |
![]() Strange Man | "I've even seen a Raikou myself! I was walking up north, and the beast ran right by me!" |
![]() Axel | "M-maybe this was the wrong way...how about...left?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You know, you could always... ask someone? |
![]() Axel | its Axel |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ah, that is true. |
![]() Axel | the only one with the forthought to ask a person is Nickel |
![]() Jack | Drufle |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You'd have to make a Poise check probably. Yes? |
![]() Jack | is this Solf J. Kimblee |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Wow, uh. You know I hadn't intended that. |
![]() Jack | I think there was an unconscious effort there |
![]() Drufle (GM) | But that is kind of exactly what this guy looks like. |
![]() Jack | :P |
![]() Axel | he snuck into our game sneaky bugger |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I might even use his picture if I need to. |
![]() Jack | wonderful |
![]() Drufle (GM) | But yes, I assume Axel is just going to walk around? |
![]() Axel | lets try not to take too long here everyone is waiting |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Pokemart is quite obvious, if you want t go do that first. |
![]() Axel | except phoone it seems? where did she go? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Right in the main square, with the big blue front. |
![]() Axel | Pokemart, yes that has maps, maybe "Oh...OH! A mart. Perfect" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well that, and the Thunderstone. |
![]() Axel | yes |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can just pop in and out with your items. No particular need to get anything from there. |
![]() Axel | sure 3000 to get Thunderstone, yes? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep! Maps are free. |
![]() Axel | noice "Ah...okay...oh...oh dear" "I was going...very much the wrong way" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, quite a bit. You can just leave the fossils with Dr. Cailan. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to work with an Old Amber. |
![]() Axel | I sure hope so I need to get back to the others -with- an Aerodactyl |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It will take a little while to fix up the fossils, would you like to do anything else in the meantime? Or just skip right back? |
![]() Axel | let the others do something, or skip skip would work |
![]() Jack | Hora, was Walter a luxio when you got him> |
![]() Axel | I can't think of anything else to do here |
![]() Cici | he was a shinx |
![]() Drufle (GM) | No, he was a little guy. |
![]() Axel | Jack: no, a Shinx |
![]() Jack | ok thanks |
![]() Axel | adorable little thunderkitten |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, that's fine with me! After about another hour or so, Dr. Cailan hands you two Pokeballs. |
![]() Axel | two? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You had a Lileep as well, remember. I sure hope you brought both of the fossils. |
![]() Axel | did I? Jack, did you hand me both? I don't think so |
![]() Jack | ................ |
![]() Axel | Another Axelism |
![]() Jack | no that was entirely my fault |
![]() Axel | no no, Axel only asked for the Amber |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, Dr. Cailan hands you one Pokeball then. |
![]() Axel | "T-thank you very much" |
![]() Dr. Cailan | "This was quite a marvelous specimen! Thank you very much for the opportunity!" |
![]() Axel | "Now, I need to go" Dr. Cailan nods. |
![]() Axel | "Have a nice day!" Wolfram beings launch sequence |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Now time for the 3.5 hour flight right back to Tanzan. Wolfram has LIFTOFF |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Unless the other two have already begun walking? |
![]() Jack | yeah |
![]() Wolfram | I imagine that fly is silly fast |
![]() Jack | I was trying to ask where |
![]() Wolfram | because of how quickly you get around in the games |
![]() Jack | in telegram but nada |
![]() Wolfram | Phoone kinda vanished for a bit |
![]() Axel | "Right...okay...I'm here..." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, at least we now have an Aerodactyl! Axel slowly falls off Wolfram |
![]() Axel | Into the snow "Hey Jack...I got it..." "You there?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, uh. I think it's fair to say they've gone south? |
![]() Axel | maybe? I would think so |
![]() Jack | I'm not sayin anything until we're all present |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That might be wise. |
![]() Axel | where did phoone go? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | For all we know, the other two are just sitting in the Center. |
![]() Cici | im back sorry i sneezed it was a mess |
![]() Jack | ah |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Pfffft. |
![]() Axel | one hell of a sneeze, then |
![]() Cici | had to go run around the house looking for tissues horrible |
![]() Jack | not enogh tissues anywhere |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So are the other two walking already? |
![]() Jack | I had that happen at work once |
![]() Cici | sure |
![]() Jack | it was awful |
![]() Cici | where are we going backtracking and then north? |
![]() Jack | been trying to ask you? |
![]() Cici | is that what we decided |
![]() Jack | that's what I thought you wanted |
![]() Cici | depends how soon we want to meet up with will |
![]() Axel | where you went will determine if Axel is alone or not |
![]() Jack | how about we stayed in tanzan and |
![]() Cici | Axel Is Alone is the third chapter of my angsty fanfic |
![]() Jack | went to the casino or something |
![]() Cici | thats the one where he loses his mind |
![]() Axel | Axel and Angsty Fanfic do not go together |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You could've just gone and talked to Daryl or something. |
![]() Axel | He is incapable of Angst |
![]() Cici | underage gambling |
![]() Jack | Cici never did meet him |
![]() Cici | can we assume that we told axel where to meet us on the road |
![]() Jack | let's do that! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm pretty sure the only casino in Galens is in Tormalia. She was there at the gym battle! |
![]() Cici | yeah i TOTALLY WAS |
![]() Jack | but not in spirit :P |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Just very quiet. |
![]() Cici | shh |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, I think it's for the best that Axel just meets up with the others here in Tanzan. |
![]() Axel | where are we even? |
![]() Cici | alright |
![]() Axel | okay, Tanzan it is where are you guys |
![]() Cici | how about jack and i go oot and aboot have a lil walkabout |
![]() Axel | say hi to your fave scientist |
![]() Cici | look for INTERESITNG SPECIMENS |
![]() Jack | yeah what IS there to do in town |
![]() Cici | i mean we had like an 8 hour wait or so we can grind for exp |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, the two of you should have your own RP segment. Since Axel was off for a bit. |
![]() Axel | I can get lunch in that time |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Do you want to go wander the mines? |
![]() Jack | a better way oh yeahhhh |
![]() Cici | ooh |
![]() Jack | we never went there! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Now that you've met Daryl, you have permissions to travel the mines. |
![]() Cici | i love having a good spelunk |
![]() Axel | boop me on Telegram if you need me |
![]() Jack | "Hey Cici, how about we have a gander at the caves?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And remember, caves/mines give you better chances for fossils. |
![]() Axel | yes, more fossils |
![]() Cici | "That sounds wonderful!" |
![]() Axel | I'll brb, eating lunch |
![]() Jack | "I need to take my mind off my not giving Axel my root fossil" |
![]() Cici | "Imagine what sort of treasures they're uncovering in there..." |
![]() Jack | "like a darn FOOL" Cici giggles |
![]() Cici | "I can't believe we forgot about that one..." |
![]() Axel | Axel is rubbing off on you |
![]() Jack | please lord helix no |
![]() Cici | "I suppose a Lileep isn't the most fascinating pokemon in the world." |
![]() Jack | oh the horror cave Cici smiles sheepishly |
![]() Jack | "Lileep are the GREATEST pokemon and I won't hear a word otherwise!" Jack is indignant |
![]() Drufle (GM) | :P Daryl shows you the way to the mines, just a bit behind the gym. Everything's locked up tight, but he opens the way easily enough. |
![]() Jack | oh I guess I have Clear now |
![]() Cici | hehe "Anything in particular we should watch out for here, Daryl?" |
![]() Daryl | "What, in the mines? Just some wild Pokemon, nothing too nasty." |
![]() Cici | "We've spent our fair share of time in caves, so I think we should be alright for the most part." "Alright! We'll do our best not to bother the miners too much." |
![]() Daryl | "Don't go in too far, I think there might be a Steelix lair far enough in there." |
![]() Jack | "I just hope all the ore mining won't have destroyed any fossils in the walls". Daryl laughs. |
![]() Daryl | "Oh don't worry, I'm sure they'll be fine." |
![]() Cici | "Mining is a more delicate process than you might think, Jack!" Daryl grins. |
![]() Cici | "Especially when it's done by hand like this, instead of with large drilling machines." |
![]() Daryl | "Well, go ahead! Find some great stuff for me, alright?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, most of the mining is by hand here. With all the rare-earth metals, it can be dangerous to go large-scale. |
![]() Jack | like sloth? :P "We'll do our best, Mr Daryl!" Cici waves |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, let's see... |
![]() Cici | "Cmon!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Time to roll up a quick Cave encounter. Cici, I swear one day we're going to go back to biomes you can use. Cici pulls out her flashlight and begins to shine it in the corners, although most of the mine passages are lit by lanterns |
![]() Cici | ehehe |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
5
)
= 5
rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5 rolling 1d6 ( 6 ) = 6 |
![]() Cici | "Let's try and find anywhere the mineshaft intersects with a natural cave- that's where we're most likely to find Pokemon." |
![]() Jack | "fine by me!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You know what, I'm not even going to question how this Pokemon is here. Sure. |
![]() Cici | oh god Jack releases Mantaro |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let me get him a friend though. rolling 1d6 ( 3 ) = 3 Mantaro is being sulky |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
6
)
= 6
|
![]() Jack | "okay there, buddy? I'm really sorry about your first battle" "it was wrong of me to expect that from you so soon" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, sure, I'll work with this. I hope you guys like 6th gen. |
![]() Jack | "so for now, it's okay if you just watch us fight." > 3> Mantaro nods |
![]() Cici | oh boy Jack inspects the walls for anything of interest |
![]() Drufle (GM) | There are entire veins of bright metal in the walls. |
![]() Cici | dang son |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Of course, I'm not sure if you guys could use any of it. |
![]() Jack | "you seemed rather enthusiastic about this, Cici. You interested in mining?" Cici shakes her head |
![]() Cici | "More the things unearthed by the dig than the dig itself, eheh." "Lots of interesting Pokemon live underground!" "I mean... we've already bumped into our fair share of those, haven't we." :P |
![]() Jack | "I guess we have!" it's a shame I can't get XP for just looking need to watch my omanyte sleep |
![]() Cici | lick the rock |
![]() Jack | don't tempt me |
![]() Drufle (GM) | (sorry for the delay, pictures are being funky) |
![]() Jack | it's fine |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You know, I was going to ask why everything is blue. Then I remembered I did that to make the mine "icier" Anyway! |
![]() Jack | didn't work for us mate :P this cave is orange! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The two of you walk around a bit, and eventually you hear some splashing! :O! |
![]() Jack | "whatwasthat?!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Seriously, this was kind of a weird result. As you turn a corner, you see a section of the mine the miners seem to have ignored. |
![]() Cici | "Is that... an underground lake?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A tunnel goes on a bit, and ends after a slight dip at a pool! |
![]() Jack | "maybe just a puddle?" |
![]() Cici | "Fascinating! What kind of strange and exotic Pokemon live in something like this?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | If by lake you mean a body of water like 20 meters across, then yes. |
![]() Jack | well |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Seriously, look at this nonsense. |
![]() Cici | hahaha what the fuck |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I rolled Poison, Dark, and Water. These were the results. |
![]() Jack | "A Skrelp, an Inkay, and a Clauncher" "okay then" |
![]() Cici | "Oh my..." "These appear to be the only three Pokemon in this pool!!" "How did they get here...??" "Skrelp can't usually survive out of the ocean!" |
![]() Jack | "maybe someone dumped them here?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | (don't ask me what the hell they're doing here the dice demanded it) |
![]() Cici | "Perhaps this is some sort of subterranean, fresh water variant?" |
![]() Jack | "or is this related to the strange legendary appearances?" |
![]() Cici | "Oh dear... you might be right :(" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You know, with all of your variant Pokemon things, that might actually be the case. |
![]() Cici | "Still, this is a rather... miniscule body of water." |
![]() Jack | don't make me draw a freshwater skrelp a BLIND CAVE SKRELP |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Perhaps this Skrelp is a lighter color, some sort of Cavernous type? |
![]() Cici | can i try and look up close at the pokemon and see if they're healthy |
![]() Jack | blind cave everything this is canon now |
![]() Cici | there can't be much to eat down here |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Sure! They seem to be playing in the water, and the Clauncher seems fine. The Skrelp is idly spouting water and the Inkay is just kinda lazily floating around. Cici lies down on the cave floor and crawls up to the water's edge, gazing down at the Pokemon below |
![]() Cici | "Hello there!" |
![]() Jack | "well that Skrelp looks too weird to be a normal one. it's probably rare!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Pokemon jolt up when they hear your voice. The Clauncher hops out of the water and starts clacking its claws. |
![]() Jack | "I'd rather not catch anything like this unless they want it. maybe we can ask for a battle?" |
![]() Cici | "Oh dear..." "This Clauncher does seem rather aggressive." "I do hope you're all doing alright. Have you been down here long?" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Clauncher is kind of glaring. |
![]() Jack | "maybe if i.." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Inkay and Skrelp are just staring curiously. Jack releases Cambria |
![]() Jack | "talk to them if you can, Camby" |
![]() Cici | tell ur squid to make friends with the other squid |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The other Pokemon seem surprised by the Omanyte suddenly appearing. Cambria moves to engage in Discourse with the group |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The Inkay and Skrelp seem happy to join with the new guy. Clauncher is still very suspicious. |
![]() Jack | I wish I had a charisma stat win over converts |
![]() Cici | start ur own cult |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well, you do. Cambria doesn't. |
![]() Jack | that's what I meant really. Use something of mine in her instance |
![]() Drufle (GM) | If you'd like to use yours for her, that'd be fine. It's Poise if you remember. |
![]() Jack | ohh Poise |
| Check: 10 | |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh dear. Cambria only incited anger with her Helixist dogma! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Pfffft |
![]() Cici | "Er..." |
![]() Axel | hi, I'm back |
![]() Cici | "Whatever she's said, it seems to have riled them up even further." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The other two are back to being confused. |
![]() Axel | what's happen |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Clauncher starts snapping at Cambria. |
![]() Axel | happening |
![]() Cici | "This is getting ridiculous." "Hey!" Cici shouts at the Clauncher |
![]() Cambria | Cambria is trying and failing to convert the heathen |
![]() Cici | "Don't be rude!" |
![]() Axel | Cambria pls |
![]() Cambria | god I'm gonna have to give in |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The little crab turns to Cici. |
![]() Cambria | and make a cambria gijinka |
![]() Axel | Cici is gonna get wet |
![]() Cambria | with all the trimmings |
![]() Drufle (GM) | He waddles over to Cici and looks directly up at her. Cici gives that lobster the fucking staredown of his life Clauncher CLACK CLACK CLACK |
![]() Axel | he clacks Clauncher stares intsntly. |
![]() Cambria | "Cici I think you might want to back away!" Cici begins rhythmically snapping her fingers Clauncher also stares intently. |
![]() Axel | its time for a SHOWDOWN!!! |
![]() Jack | whoo[s |
![]() Cici | west side story bitch |
![]() Axel | Rap Battle Cici on one side, Clauncher on the other who can drop the best beats who will slip on their own tounge Clauncher continues staring at Cici for a few more minutes, and then nods. Clauncher turns to Skrelp and Inkay and clacks something at them in a sort of morse code. |
![]() Jack | "Cici, do you have" Cici sighs and exhales deeply |
![]() Jack | ""any" idea what just went down?" |
![]() Axel | sick beats, yo |
![]() Cici | "Sometimes it's best to stand your ground!" Clauncher walks back to the group and clacks at Cambria. |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Some sort of agreement seems to have been met. |
![]() Axel | Cici speaks Clauncher, who knew |
![]() Jack | how should cambria respond |
![]() Cici | "This Clauncher is fairly small, so I thought intimidating it might help resolve things faster." "It seems to have at least some sort of respect for us now." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Cambria should probably walk away. |
![]() Jack | "well that's good to hear" |
![]() Axel | X-naut salute, then walk away the deed is done Cambria acquiesces, and shuffels backward |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The underwater cave party is willing to join you, if you'd like. |
![]() Cambria | cool! |
![]() Axel | seems fishy |
![]() Drufle (GM) | But watch out for that Clauncher. |
![]() Cici | "Cmon. Let's get you out of this cave." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | He's a fesity one. |
![]() Cici | i LIKE this clauncher |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Also feisty. |
![]() Cici | hes got STYLE |
![]() Axel | no one wants any of them? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Clauncher is very bad at spelling. |
![]() Axel | Skrelp is poison |
![]() Cici | me 2 buddy me 2 do we have to roll capture checks |
![]() Jack | Cici wants the clauncher I think, I want the skrelp tbh |
![]() Cici | you can have him :> ive got lots of poison types |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Uhhhh no, I think you can just have them if you'd like. |
![]() Jack | ok! we'll buy them all! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I usually consider capture checks to entail some sort of resistance. |
![]() Axel | all the puppyfish Cici places 3 pokeballs on the ground and backs up |
![]() Axel | do you have enough balls though? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Who's taking who? I need to put the characters in. |
![]() Cici | ive got 2 actually fuck jack pls tell me u got a ball |
![]() Jack | dibs on blind cave skrelp |
![]() Axel | we got a poison/water who turns into a poison dragon |
![]() Jack | Bitch I be Trippin Balls |
![]() Axel | a dark/psychic |
![]() Cici | i dont think i can teach inkay uhhh |
![]() Axel | and a pure water |
![]() Cici | like anything |
![]() Axel | water seems to be more Jack's thing I technically have Magical Training |
![]() Jack | 5 pokeballs, 1 great, 8 ultra I really should share these... |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Fun fact: M.Clawitzer is Water/Fighting. |
![]() Axel | but like...that doesn't do much for poor inkay |
![]() Cici | fucking ripped |
![]() Axel | M.Clawitzer goes FALCON PAWNCH look at how big that claw is |
![]() Cici | oh i have some moves which dark types can use actually ill take inkay and clauncher |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And Jack takes Skrelp? |
![]() Jack | yah |
![]() Cici | indeed did we ever identify the rock the gardevoir gave us btw its still in my inventory |
![]() Axel | we're only half way through this session holy cow umm, rock... is it in the notes? did it get a name?/ |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh man that uh. |
![]() Cici | 'a mysterious stone bestowed by a gardevoir' |
![]() Jack | "so, Mantaro, I guess, umm, not every battle has to be solved with a fight!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm going to honestly have to go back and find that again. Mantaro is baffled |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Because I do not remember what I intended that for. |
![]() Axel | Mantaro does not understand the art of not-fist |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I believe it might be Plot. |
![]() Axel | Plotstone evolves Pikachu into Plotchu the Plot Pokemon Its ability to win and lose is solely tied to the needs of the story it requires no skill of its own |
![]() Cici | i remmeber we made checks to try and identify it once or twice and like we all failed lmao |
![]() Axel | give it to Nickel again maybe he can manage |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, sounds about right. |
![]() Mantaro | well bring it up in dialogue when we're all together andd we'lll hash out a plan |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alternatively, it might've just been a special Dawn Stone for the Ralts. |
![]() Mantaro | hm that sounds plausible |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I can check quickly if you'd like. At the moment I'm just adding your Pokemon in. |
![]() Axel | I still don't know where I got my Dawn Stone or why |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright! There we go. Everyone has some new friends. Hey Jack, roll Attention. |
![]() Axel | mon count increasing Jack: Attention |
| Check: 13 | |
![]() Axel | I think I have the least now |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Cici has such an obscene pile of Pokemon. |
![]() Cici | c: |
![]() Axel | its her job to have ALL OF THEM |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, make an Aptitude check. |
![]() Cici | do we magically teleport pokeballs to the ranchlab Jack: Aptitude |
| Check: 18 | |
![]() Cici | nice |
![]() Axel | good god |

![]() Jack | high roller |
![]() Axel | the mines are full of GOOOOLD |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So I think you guys just found like. A hidden pirate cache or something. |
![]() Cici | good shit |
![]() Jack | do we have to give Daryl any of it |
![]() Axel | he doesn't have to know |
![]() Jack | "Hey look Cici! At the bottom f the pool!" |
![]() Cici | what daryl doesnt know wont hurt him |
![]() Drufle (GM) | No, he was willing to just let you take anything you found. |
![]() Cici | :O! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So long as you're not stealing the minerals. |
![]() Jack | the fool |
![]() Axel | its a mine, there's enough for everyone this is probably just normal always a loot stache |
![]() Jack | "my treasure senses are tingling! Cambria, go down and have a look!" |
![]() Axel | in fact, I bet its a loot stache mine specifically for finding naturally occurring loot here comes a big list its going to be amazing you might want to make a note for this, druf |
![]() Drufle (GM) | 3 hyper potions, 3 potions, 1 ether, 3 revives, 4 full heals, 4 ultra balls, 2 great balls are all the items gimme a sec for the cash |
![]() Cici | nice |
![]() Axel | good find now for the absurd amount of muns |
![]() Drufle (GM) | sorry its 4 revives |
![]() Jack | noted |
![]() Cici | split evenly ? |
![]() Jack | oh sure we're here |
![]() Axel | I'm not there, so it'd be half-half with you guys |
![]() Drufle (GM) | you also find a whopping 24k pokeyen |
![]() Axel | good arceus |
![]() Jack | "It's the motherlode!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
1
)
= 1
|
![]() Axel | just a treasure chest |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(

)

|
![]() Axel | its still going |
![]() Cici | "Oh, my..." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Also! A Cranidos fossil! |
![]() Jack | yay! |
![]() Axel | adorbs |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And that is all. |
![]() Jack | "there's the thing!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Unfortunately no 6's, so no mega stones for you guys. |
![]() Axel | they'll find one next time |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Your only other available Pokemon is Clear I think. |
![]() Axel | especially with rolls like that |
![]() Jack | yah and clear ain't here |
![]() Axel | if I were there, Wolfram and Copper would've been available |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well remember, he gets the one treasure roll for his Attention check. And then you get an extra roll for every 2 over 10 you get with the Itemfinder. You got freaking 18 which is an extra 4 rolls. |
![]() Axel | I don't think he's failed a single one of those |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I don't think so. Alright! That's all for the cave I believe. Unless, you'd like to keep going? |
![]() Jack | Cici you can have all the money |
![]() Cici | :O thanku |
![]() Jack | I am loaded |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You guys have so much cash. |
![]() Cici | ill let you keep the fossil and the better potions then |
![]() Jack | I love the Monty Haul |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Seriously, start the labranch. |
![]() Axel | we should probably use some of that |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You guys probably have over 50k between you. Well maybe not quite that much. |
![]() Jack | "man we've got SO MUCH cash from this" |
![]() Axel | 17000 from me |
![]() Cici | Jack: Skull Fossil, 3 Hyper Potions, 2 Revives, 2 Full Heals, 2 Ultra Balls |
![]() Cici | 3 Potions, 2 Revives, 2 Full Heals, 2 Ultra Balls, 1 Great Ball, $24000 |
![]() Jack | "we could start our own lab! heck, a whole town!" thanks |
![]() Cici | "I'm not sure this is quite enough money for THAT... But it is quite a lot!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | (you literally could) |
![]() Cici | god damn lmaop |
![]() Drufle (GM) | (it's only 32500 cash to rush for the town) |
![]() Cici | jesus christ |
![]() Axel | absolutely increadible |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Anyway! Further into the mines, or are we good here? You've got quite a haul in both treasure and Pokemon. |
![]() Jack | I think that's enough for now |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I promise you there's no plot in here, so going further is just more goodies. |
![]() Jack | while I do love goodies, I do want to hurry along and see my new dinosaur *pterosaur |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Right! I should also add him in. |
![]() Cici | we DO have 8 hours but i suppose we can assume nothing else interesting happens |
![]() Axel | it takes 8 hours to haul the treasure out of the mines |
![]() Jack | I like to think the cave too several hours |
![]() Cici | we could easily say those items were scattered all around |
![]() Jack | money is heavy |
![]() Cici | instead of all in one spot |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, that's understandable. |
![]() Cici | and then we took a nap Axel is standing around, looking worried |
![]() Drufle (GM) | By the way the chat archive isn't loading so I can't check right now. I'll look in the threeums later. We return to Tanzan Village! Everyone's got some neat stuff now. |
![]() Jack | "Ah, Is that Axel over there?" Axel has his back turned from where the others are Cici waves |
![]() Cici | "Hey!!" |
![]() Jack | "HOooooooooy!" Wolfram Wolfram sees the others, and caws |
![]() Axel | "WAH!! What? Oh?" |
![]() Jack | Wolfram von Wolfram |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Current Pokedex Count: 29. |
![]() Axel | "JACK!" "I got it!" Axel holds up the Aerodactyls pokeball |
![]() Jack | "great!" |
![]() Cici | did we gain any exp for that encounter btw even though it wasnt a fight i forget how that works |
![]() Axel | you probably do |
![]() Jack | you should for your diplomacy |
![]() Axel | I'd say you do |
![]() Jack | I did no thing |
![]() Axel | You were there though, Jack Cambria did stuff |
![]() Jack | cambria failed at her job she gets demoted |
![]() Cici | you gained exp from how badly she fucked up that poise check i think tbh |
![]() Jack | to zealot, third class |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Sorry hi I'm back. |
![]() Cici | was it low enough actually |
![]() Axel | hoi druf |
![]() Cici | it was pretty low but i forget |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, 2 exp for that encounter. |
![]() Jack | yey |
![]() Cici | sick |
![]() Axel | I think you onle get fail EXP from to-hit things |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And yes, that's correct. |
![]() Cici | aw |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Otherwise you could just spam Attention/Poise/Aptitude checks for exp. |
![]() Jack | four more to go! |
![]() Axel | a shame, but that's our lot in life already? wow |
![]() Cici | same |
![]() Axel | you're catching up |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Remember how he got like 3 failure exp last time? |
![]() Axel | yes |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, that was a help. |
![]() Axel | I remember that fondly |
![]() Jack | three-eyed snake WAAH |
![]() Axel | anyways, Jack, get your dinobird woah |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Big Mon. |
![]() Cici | Lorge Jack released the Aerodactyl! |
![]() Cici | "Oh, my..." Axel falls over |
![]() Jack | "Big BOY" |
![]() Axel | Everyone falls out of their balls |
![]() Jack | "or girl! I dunno yet!" Rochelle topples into the snow |
![]() Cici | powerful nonbinary dinosaur |
![]() Aerodactyl | SKREEEEEONK |
![]() Cici | oh myg od Chrom rolls around in the snow |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You guys can name them at any time. |
![]() Chrom | gimme that thunderstone Chrom wants to evolve RIGHT NOW |
![]() Aerodactyl | I can't think of things! |
![]() Cici | chrom fucking eats it just bites it in half with his Manly Jaws Chrom jumps into Axel's back and grabs the thunderstone |
![]() Jack | "wow, someone's eager!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | FLASH |
![]() Cici | "Oh, how wonderful!" Chrom begins hopping around, glowing a brilliant white |
![]() Chrom | Yay |
![]() Cici | c: |
![]() Chrom | now I need to update EVERYTHING |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Why are every single one of Axel's Pokemon more intelligent and quick than him? |
![]() Chrom | What moves do I gain, what do I lose? Nickel is a good teacher Aerodactyl takes off in surprise |
![]() Chrom | also, should I change my highstat? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Whoosh, off he goes. |
![]() Chrom | oh dear |
![]() Jack | "don't be scared, it's just a Jolteon!" |
![]() Chrom | what are my options for highstat? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You have to, Axel. ATK isn't an option for Jolteon. Speed or SPatk. |
![]() Chrom | oh, I literally can't keep it hmmm let me weigh my options while you guys...handle the dinobird |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, what's up with Aerodactyl? He's having a good time. |
![]() Chrom | I assume I can keep Lick? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yes. |
![]() Chrom | Double Slap? Jack beckons the Aero down with delicious meat substitute ribeye steak |
![]() Jack | "Fortunately I came prepared" |
![]() Cici | how does jolteon slap things |
![]() Chrom | paws |
![]() Cici | with its tiny little paws ??? |
![]() Chrom | yes |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Sure, go ahead. |
![]() Chrom | okay Metal Claw and Iron Head came from ATK highstat |
![]() Jack | somehow, this dog can pronate its limbs! |
![]() Chrom | what happens to them? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Are those the same move mechanically? |
![]() Chrom | no Iron Head can Flinch for PP |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ah, alright. I think those are both fine. |
![]() Chrom | right |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The coverage would be nice. |
![]() Chrom | I am about to get a ton of moves oh, Helping Hand what do I do with that? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Hm. I suppose that can stay. |
![]() Chrom | okay |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let's work the rest of these out later. |
![]() Chrom | so I lose...no moves and am about to gain things keep going while I figure this out |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright! |
![]() Axel | I'll try to chime in when I can |
![]() Drufle (GM) | We now have two fliers. So! Are we heading south? West? Somewhere else? |
![]() Cici | are we avoiding will or trying to find him i feel like thats an Executive Decision |
![]() Axel | we could either try the Fly roll and go somewhere new |
![]() Jack | I want to go do lab stuff |
![]() Axel | ranchlab seems good |
![]() Cici | yea same kinda actually |
![]() Jack | largely so drufle is satisfied :P |
![]() Cici | lets do that |
![]() Jack | "alright, time for the test flight!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, sure! I'd love to finally do some ranchlab stuff. |
![]() Rodan | SKREEEEE |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ooh, Rodan. Very nice. |
![]() Rodan | it's the only choice |
![]() Axel | nice name onward |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well since you all know where the labranch is, there's no reason to make a check. |
![]() Axel | Wolfram, prepare for liftoff |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let's go! |
![]() Wolfram | -3, 2, 1...- Wolfram launches straight into the sky, making jetplane noises |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It now occurs to me that I'm not even sure if I have a map for the ranchlab. Let's find out. Rodan takes off clumsily after Wolfram Jack already feels sick |
![]() Cici | who are these fuckers Axel is holding on for dear life |
![]() Jack | past selves! |
![]() Cici | fuckin time paradox |
![]() Jack | food! back in a bit |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright there we go. Ok! Now if any of you actually remember, this is actually where we started the game. Which is a good map for the labranch since it is canonically right next to Hawthorne's lab. |
![]() Axel | a ranch maybe |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, later on I can get an actual map. For now, I think this will suffice. |
![]() Axel | wow I get...pretty much nothing new for moves no matter what highstat I chose |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Better move to Electric Focus/Ultimate Electric. So! Here we are, back at the ranchlab. As the group of you lands and I forget to loop the music, Aidan comes out to greet you. |
![]() Cici | :D |
![]() Axel | "Is it over?" Axel is still holding on for dear life Wolfram is mildly annoyed |
![]() Aidan | "Well, look who it is! Wow, what an incredible group of Pokemon you guys have!" |
![]() Cici | "Hiya!" "We've amassed quite a few!" "I've taken some notes on the region's ecology which I think you'd find quite fascinating..." |
![]() Aidan | "Yes, I certainly can see." "Of course! I'm always ready for some new information on the region." |
![]() Cici | science talk |
![]() Wolfram | Chrom now knows Thundershock that is all that is new |
![]() Aidan | "Ah yes, I see, quite!" "These seem to be not what we expected, are you sure about this?" Axel finally falls off Wolfram Aidan continues babbling on about the notes. Nickel has joined the conversation |
![]() Nickel | he has notes too |
![]() Cici | i tell him what the professor siad too is the professor back yet actually i forget if he was gonna head back here or not |
![]() Aidan | "Oh, thank goodness he's safe." "I was very worried! At least he's alright." |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nah, Hawthorne's gonna keep moving around. Gotta find all the best hints, you know. |
![]() Nickel | that's what got him into trouble in the first place! never learns |
![]() Aidan | "So, what brings you back here? Need new supplies?" |
![]() Nickel | "ZzzzzrrrT" We are very rich sir we bring funding |
![]() Axel | "W-well, actually...the reverse, really" |
![]() Aidan | "Oh? Are you bringing supplies?" |
![]() Axel | "We are...very rich right now" "Jack kept finding rare things" Aidan raises his eyebrows. |
![]() Aidan | "Is that so? Well that's very nice!" Axel shows Aiden the amount of money he's carrying |
![]() Axel | "This is...less than a third of what we have" Aidan widens his eyes, his mouth agape. |
![]() Aidan | "Wh... where did you find so much money?!" |
![]() Axel | "J-jack would know better" "He found a lot of it" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | (Jack ain't here right now.) |
![]() Axel | "B-but I've also...fought a few gyms, which might have helped" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | (Food to eat.) |
![]() Axel | yes, I just remembered |
![]() Aidan | "My, they must be giving out piles of cash as a reward these days! Incredible!" |
![]() Cici | "We've done an awful lot of spelunking lately, it seems." |
![]() Aidan | "So are you planning on helping expand our land here?" "You can buy some of the land yourself, you certainly have the cash for it!" |
![]() Cici | "Yes! We've got enough supplies to last us a while, so I think we can take the time to invest into the lab." "We were thinking of maybe setting up a ranch for our Pokemon, now that we've got so many." |
![]() Aidan | "Excellent! Well I'll call up the renevations group, anything you'd like to do, just tell me!" |
![]() Axel | right, options what can we do |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So, first things first. |
![]() Axel | part ownership |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Gotta pay that 3k for the land and ownership. |
![]() Axel | I'll do that |
![]() Moppy | "I just have a knack for finding loose change, I guess" XP |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The amount of land you buy can hold up to 900 Pokemon. Trust me, you'll be fine. |
![]() Axel | Mopp, you aren't supposed to be IN the game yourself be Jack |
![]() Drufle (GM) | No, it's the god above. HELLO I AM GOOD AT MONEY |
![]() Jack | be the other guy |
![]() Axel | so I spend 3k to buy the land |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ok, uh, first off you can hire Retainers if you'd like. They're 1.5k each, and they basically help to keep the land tidy, and have their own Pokemon. |
![]() Axel | so a staff, basically |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, I don't remember what they're required for. |
![]() Jack | let's get one staff each |
![]() Axel | I can manage that |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I know you need a bunch to start an evil team, but I think they're for something else. |
![]() Axel | lets not be evil there already is an evil team lurking anyways, 1.5k from me for a retainer |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, that's actually the only thing retainers are required for. |
![]() Axel | oh wait nvm what else do they do? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They will do what you ask, within reason, so long as it does not involve leaving the ranch for more than 6 hours. If they find one of your requests to be unreasonable, offensive, or otherwise objectionable, they will refuse, and if you insist, they will cease to be your retainer, returning 500 Pok�dollars to you. |
![]() Axel | huh |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They are two levels lower than you are. |
![]() Axel | I'm not sure what we'd need them to do |
![]() Drufle (GM) | They basically just act as a sidekick that sticks by the ranchlab. |
![]() Jack | so we can't turn this into Salo, then |
![]() Drufle (GM) | No, unfortunately. They have to pretty much stay here. |
![]() Jack | they stayed there in Salo, as well |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can build a Villa for 5k. |
![]() Jack | largely the problem |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It houses 10 people and is quite a nice place. |
![]() Axel | that is on the way to the town, right? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It isn't required, but it helps. |
![]() Jack | what would benefit our pokemon more? |
![]() Axel | right, think mons first |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well there's more options, just a second. |
![]() Axel | we have...more than enough muns |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A battlegrounds costs 5k. |
![]() Axel | a place to fight trainers? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep. You can customize it with terrains and hazards. You can also buy festival grounds for 5k. |
![]() Axel | For Festive things? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah. |
![]() Axel | sounds festive |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Later on you can hold festivals to bring in lots of cash. |
![]() Cici | :o neat !!! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can also do some wilderness cultivation. |
![]() Axel | hmm for the wilds, eh? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It costs 3k to make a patch of wilderness. |
![]() Axel | that's not too bad |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It either grows berries, grows apricorns, or it acts as a sanctuary. You can harvest/search for Pokemon once a day. You can also build some condos for 6k, which is just a bunch of smaller houses. That would help grow towards the Village. |
![]() Cici | lets spontaneously make wilderness |
![]() Jack | I'd like an apricorn orchard |
![]() Cici | good idea |
![]() Axel | Apricorns sound nice |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You also need the condos for the Pokemart. |
![]() Axel | I have the kit, too |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright! Someone mark off 3k for an apricorn orchard. |
![]() Cici | is that 3k total or from each of us |
![]() Axel | who's paying for the orchard |
![]() Jack | mee |
![]() Cici | part ownership was 3k each right |
![]() Drufle (GM) | No, it's just the one payment of 3k. |
![]() Axel | I already paid for part ownership |
![]() Cici | oh ! ok then lmao |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Unless you guys plan on each having your own stuff. If you want to make three separate Villages, go ahead. |
![]() Jack | and go to war |
![]() Axel | right next to each other? that seems silly |
![]() Jack | I think one is enough |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'll keep track of the upgrades you buy. |
![]() Cici | one is fine |
![]() Axel | lets not spread ourselves out too thin |
![]() Jack | thank you |
![]() Cici | theres a spot in the character sheet to keep track of em too |
![]() Jack | present us with the bill later |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Indeed! |
![]() Axel | now we have Apricorns nice |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Let's see... You can also buy "beautifications". |
![]() Axel | those seem like extras |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Those are just generic nice looking things. They have the bonus of being worth more than you pay for them. They cost 1.5k, but count as 2k for the purpose of higher upgrades. |
![]() Jack | hm |
![]() Axel | we'll use those if we need them I don't think we need the higher stuff yet |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright! Most of the higher things basically just need you to spend lots of money. Would you like to buy anything else? |
![]() Axel | sure |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Or will that be all. |
![]() Axel | more muns throw them all around |
![]() Jack | could you summarize? |
![]() Cici | what else is Goode |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Of course! |
![]() Jack | what we have so far |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh, what you have? You just have the apricorn orchard. |
![]() Jack | ok so owenership and the orchard |
![]() Cici | how does depositing/withdrawing pokemon here work btw |
![]() Axel | use a PC |
![]() Jack | I would like a villa and a battleground |
![]() Drufle (GM) | 1.5k per retainer, who work the land. 5k for a villa, which holds 10 people. 5k for a battlegrounds. 5k for festival grounds. 3k for cultivated wilderness. 6k for condos. 1.5k for beauty stuff. That's all the low-tier options. |
![]() Axel | battleground sounds like its on the path to a gym |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Also, your Pokemon are just around! |
![]() Axel | they hangin out |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The point of all this land is to have them scampering about and having fun. |
![]() Jack | 3 + 3 + 5 +5 + 4.5 = 20.5k |
![]() Drufle (GM) | We're in quite a nice location for a variety of biomes as well. |
![]() Jack | maybe scrap the battleground |
![]() Axel | don't include the part ownership cost I already paid for that |
![]() Jack | oh ok |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh also, a pokemart costs 2.5k, and requires the condos. |
![]() Jack | 17.5l k if we split that then we're good! |
![]() Axel | so we're getting a Battleground and a Villa? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You're capable of building an official gym as well, I believe. Alright! That sounds good to me. |
![]() Jack | Cici? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | By official, I mean unofficial. You don't have the Pokedex reqs for the actual gym. |
![]() Cici | hmmm are we restricted to one wilderness |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nope! Very few of the upgrades are one-only. The villa and condos are some of them. |
![]() Cici | lets get a berry patch and a pokemon biome too then ill pay for those |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright! 6k for more nature. |
![]() Axel | hmmm |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And 10k for the villa and battlegrounds. |
![]() Axel | we basically have everything at this point |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'll mark those down, if everyone is up for that. |
![]() Axel | except Condos |
![]() Jack | 235000 |
![]() Axel | add Condos |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That sure is an extra 0. |
![]() Axel | I can pay for that |
![]() Jack | 23500 |
![]() Axel | right, what does that leave us? |
![]() Cici | jack are you paying the 10k for villa + battlegrounds |
![]() Jack | yeah |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I have 19k worth of improvements so far. |
![]() Axel | I'll pay 6k for Condos |
![]() Cici | ok ill buy the next thing then ive spent the least |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Not including the part-ownership. |
![]() Cici | after hte condos |
![]() Axel | shouuld I just update my thing? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm keeping track of everything here. |
![]() Axel | okay then |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You guys need to keep track of your money then. |
![]() Cici | will do |
![]() Jack | ok so -10k for me |
![]() Axel | I'm down to 8000 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Your ranch is currently worth 25k! |
![]() Axel | right, did we unlock anything? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | This opens up quite a few things. |
![]() Axel | yessss |
![]() Jack | this will all take a week in-game to finish |
![]() Axel | oh dear |
![]() Cici | the economy in this region is fucked |
![]() Axel | we just dumped a huge amount of money into this we will MAKE this region |
![]() Cici | we built a bunch of condos for the price of 3 ultra balls |
![]() Jack | hahaha |
![]() Axel | ultraballs are expensive, holy cow though aren't we using yen? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can build an unofficial gym for 3k, build a pokemart for 2.5k, build a superstore for 10k (requires the pokemart), buy a radio station for 3k (requires the superstore), start a company for 3k (requires the superstore), open a resort for 5k, attract a village/pokemon center for 6k there we go Most of the rest requires Pokedex stuff, which you're a bit low on right now. |
![]() Jack | can we do that later |
![]() Axel | Hmmm |
![]() Jack | this is a good start |
![]() Axel | I feel like I want one more thing |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can literally just pop a town for 7.5k at this point which is hilarious. |
![]() Axel | lets just...do that I guess? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I think that should require a bit more time in-game though. You can begin attracting a village if you'd like, but the rest will have to wait for later. Just to make this seem reasonable. |
![]() Cici | ill pay for a pokemart for the last thing |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, Pokemart it is! |
![]() Axel | I can't afford a superstore oh well |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Aidan is just staring wide-eyed at these plans you're drawing up. |
![]() Axel | we have the muns, good sir |
![]() Cici | "...We have a lot of money." |
![]() Axel | trust us, we are proffessionals |
![]() Aidan | "Goodness gracious, you're basically building a new village with all this money!" |
![]() Jack | "Hey Aidan, is it alright if we lay out the foundations for Jackopolis over here?" Nickel actually manages a chuckle at all this |
![]() Jack | "just kidding!" |
![]() Aidan | "Condominiums, a battlegrounds, even a Pokemart! Incredible!" |
![]() Jack | I could be using this to pay for college |
![]() Axel | what does a resort do? |
![]() Aidan | "I'll call the renovations company right now!" |
![]() Axel | question for the future |
![]() Aidan | Uhhhh |
![]() Jack | no doubt I will find more |
![]() Axel | yeah, seriously there will be money |
![]() Aidan | You basically make a resort around the Villa/Condos, and people can pay to go there. You can collect cash there once a wekk. |
![]() Jack | Axel-land |
![]() Aidan | week* |
![]() Axel | a very unsure theme park rides that don't quite make it |
![]() Jack | the rollercoasters just end like in that one game multiple casualties |
![]() Aidan | I just checked and you guys do now have the cost requirements for everything. |
![]() Axel | nice we just need more mons |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Aidan is very knowledgeable about building things. |
![]() Axel | anyways, I want to get into a battle |
![]() Jack | it all falls to pieces without the aide |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep, the only thing stopping you now are Pokedex requirements and Building Reqs. |
![]() Jack | is the heatran still down there though will he object |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Who knows! Aidan hasn't felt any more rumbles recently. |
![]() Axel | a good sign |
![]() Cici | god i cant wait until our town gets fucking wrecked by Hungry Hungry Hetran |
![]() Axel | don't worry, we have Copper |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Pfffft. Also I just remembered. You guys can have ranch adventures! |
![]() Axel | huh? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You can roll 1d100 if you have a Pokemon hanging out at the ranch. And they'll do something! |
![]() Axel | well, I can't do that |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It's not usually anything too interesting, just some flavor most of the time. If you're lucky you can get items out of it. |
![]() Cici | :> |
![]() Jack | oh good |
![]() Axel | it'll probably be adorable |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Do Cici/Jack want to roll for that? And who would you roll for? |
![]() Jack | right now> ? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Uh, actually no. You're meant to do this as like an update apparently. Like you call Aidan and go "hey man whats this pokemon up to" And he tells you what weird stuff they've been doing. |
![]() Cici | aww |
![]() Axel | he's right here |
![]() Cici | hehe |
![]() Axel | ask him |
![]() Jack | right I suppose the mons are here already |
![]() Axel | you guys have been using the PC, they have to be |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Would you guys like to just have a quick fight out in the nearby grasslands? |
![]() Axel | YES |
![]() Jack | sure also Drufle |
![]() Drufle (GM) | We have an hour left, we can squeeze in a quick fight. |
![]() Axel | YES PLEASE |
![]() Cici | can i swap my team out while we're here |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep! |
![]() Jack | since I have Rodan here, Bluejohn is in ranch |
![]() Cici | i wanna pull out an eevee i htink |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Righto, Jack. Take whoever you wish! |
![]() Axel | poor bluejohn |
![]() Cici | was i going to give other people some of my trubbish i forget |
![]() Jack | someone's gotta go! |
![]() Axel | pull out all the eevees |
![]() Jack | and Moraine's pulled more weight |
![]() Axel | become eevee master |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Now, here's the thing. |
![]() Axel | wasm |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I specifically picked this area because a lot of biomes coincide here. |
![]() Axel | wasn't one of those eevee for Will? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So pick between Grassland, Freshwater, Forest, or Mountain. And yeah, one of the Eevee was for Will. |
![]() Axel | Hmmm More Mountain? or wait we've been on a mountain for a very long time |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Mountain is available, but I think we've had enough of that. |
![]() Jack | enough mountain |
![]() Cici | forest pls |
![]() Axel | Forest, sure |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Forest it is! |
![]() Jack | same |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
4
)
= 4
|
![]() Axel | we search the woods |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
1
)
= 1
|
![]() Axel | for mons and muns |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
5
)
= 5
|
![]() Jack | ONE SEC PLZ |
![]() Axel | Sec granted? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
6
)
= 6
rolling 1d6 ( 3 ) = 3 rolling 1d6 ( 4 ) = 4 |
![]() Axel | I think you can hide the rolls, druf |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nah, this is more fun. rolling 1d6 ( 2 ) = 2 |
![]() Axel | okay then |
![]() Drufle (GM) | rolling 1d6(
5
)
= 5
Alright, I got them. Time to go picture hunting. |
![]() Axel | I sense the presence of bugs |
![]() Drufle (GM) | There is indeed one bug here. |
![]() Cici | ive swapped out armstrong for felicia the eevee |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The other two are not! |
![]() Cici | she cant do anything besides struggle and toxic but she has HEART |
![]() Axel | what highstat did you choose??? to cause such moveloss |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Pfffft, what did you do? |
![]() Axel | maybe you'll evolve after this fight |
![]() Cici | speed |

![]() Drufle (GM) | Almost done, just a bit more. |
![]() Cici | uhh |

![]() Cici | not much i dont think |
![]() Axel | you need that eevee to evolve really badly |
![]() Cici | atk high stat would get me gunk shot |
![]() Axel | OH MY GOD |

![]() Drufle (GM) | BUG |
![]() Axel | yes, that is a bug a weedle, to be precise |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Did you know the forest has electric types? I didn't know that. |
![]() Axel | yeah, I'm a bit surprised by this |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I almost got a joltik. |
![]() Axel | Ferro, maybe heck, even Joltik |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Who's ready for a brawl! |
![]() Axel | but Mareep??? ROCHELLE GET IN THERE |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Weedle's the boss by the way. |
![]() Jack | of course Axel decides to send in Rochelle the mighty |
![]() Cici | "A fight, I suppose?" |
![]() Jack | "Forest wanderers! get in there Brunt!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A group of Pokemon leap out at you! Rochelle topples out into the grass |
![]() Cici | "Cmon out, CLara!" C. Lara |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Now I'm actually pretty sure I go first here. |
![]() Cici | im speed 4 |
![]() Rochelle | oh? |

![]() Jack | before we go how do we regen PP? |
![]() Rochelle | drink ethers? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I think it's a daily refresh thing? Lemme look. |
![]() Axel | we lack fire this will make Ferroseed a bit difficult |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ah, here. |
![]() Cici | it refreshes daily as i remember |
![]() Jack | that's why I'm havin him |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You restore PP at Pokecenters. |
![]() Jack | ok so is that just a given or is it specific for us to ask |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It just happens! |
![]() Jack | okay! good to go |
![]() Axel | just being there gives you PP magically |
![]() Cici | well technically its the pokemon being healed because theyre the ones doing the effort :p |
![]() Axel | right so which of these jokers goes first? Drufle (GM): Weedle used Poison Tail! Target Leafmaster Chomp Roll 1 5 6 + 5 AC 15 Damage 3 Leafmaster Chomp? |
![]() Axel | oof PFffaahahahahaa |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Sure, why not. |
![]() Jack | that is unfortunately a hit Drufle (GM): Mareep used Thundershock! Target Brunt Roll 4 4 6 + 4 AC 14 Damage 3 |
![]() Jack | and one dead bug |
![]() Axel | does clara have a DEF highstat? Clara is starter, has more than 3 HP |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Probably, I think. |
![]() Jack | oh right |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And I just barely pull out three damage on Brunt. |
![]() Axel | lots of offensive highstats here |
![]() Jack | when are you going to fuckin hit him with a physical attack |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'll do it right now, fine! |
![]() Cici | clara has spdef high actually :x |
![]() Axel | welp almost Drufle (GM): Ferroseed used Vine Whip! Target Brunt Roll 4 2 4 + 5 AC 15 Damage 2 |
![]() Cici | uhh is bug/grass weak to poison |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Grass is. Bug is not. |
![]() Cici | does bug resist tho |
![]() Jack | ok that missed anyway no it does not |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It does not, no. |
![]() Cici | so i should have taken super effective damage then |
![]() Jack | yes |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That was the super effective damage. The +1. |
![]() Cici | ohh i thought it had atk high |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Axel! I believe you are next. |
![]() Axel | Right, okay "Right, Rochelle, its been a while...but-" Rochelle: Rochelle used Rock Tomb! Target Weedle Roll 6 6 6 + 5 AC 14 Damage 4 |
![]() Cici | holy shit |
![]() Jack | JACKPOT |
![]() Cici | fucking destroyed |
![]() Drufle (GM) | What the actual fuck. Rochelle cuts him off with a sudden rock tomb out of nowwhere |
![]() Rochelle | Rocks goddamn falling from the sky |
![]() Drufle (GM) | +2 is from super effective and ATK focus? |
![]() Rochelle | yup half his health, just gone |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I'm going to give you another +1 from that flawless roll. |
![]() Rochelle | just...fuckin gone nice |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Clara? |
![]() Jack | "I could have picked you, back then.." :( |
![]() Rochelle | I critted |
![]() Cici | hmmm |
![]() Axel | "Oh...oh dear" "She seems...a bit more amped up than usual" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Man, Rochelle was ANGRY. |
![]() Cici | how do status effects work again specifically sleep/paralyze im trying to decide which to use |
![]() Axel | sleep is a 50% chance every turn to wake up I know that much |
![]() Jack | that's freeze |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That's also sleep. |
![]() Axel | sleep and freeze are identical in ppp |
![]() Jack | ok |
![]() Axel | because reasons |
![]() Jack | I thought we said otherwise |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Paralyze gives them a 50% chance to just not do their action, and also -3 speed. |
![]() Jack | the last time this happened |
![]() Axel | Paralyze seems like the more debilitating status |
![]() Jack | I'd slow them down |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Don't bother hitting Ferroseed though! |
![]() Jack | oh yea grass |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Both grass and steel types are immune to spore effects. |
![]() Jack | AND steel?! |
![]() Axel | steel too? wut |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Aren't they? I thought that was a thing. |
![]() Axel | only Grass is in the game |
![]() Jack | not in the real game no! |
![]() Cici | nope |
![]() Drufle (GM) | That definitely feels like it should be a thing. |
![]() Jack | they're immune to poisoning |
![]() Axel | Grass is immune to all spore effects Steel is immune to Poison period |
![]() Cici | let the robots sleep |
![]() Jack | and electric is immune to paralyisis too, so don't stun spore the mareep! |
![]() Cici | okay you know what im just using an attack lmao |
![]() Jack | too much choice |
![]() Axel | ferro can't have thorns yet no ability until it evolve |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep! I actually kind of like that feature. |
![]() Axel | but steel/grass is...very hard to get around |
![]() Jack | I can hit it for neutral, leave it to me! Cici: Clara used Razor Leaf! Target Mareep Roll 3 4 2 + 5 AC 14 Damage 2 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Not quite! |
![]() Cici | thanks for the shitty rolls rng lorde |
![]() Axel | don't worry, its Brunt's time to shine! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Rochelle stole all of the luck. |
![]() Axel | get em, Brunt |
![]() Drufle (GM) | She's secretly Vriska. |
![]() Jack | you weren't here to see that absulte shenanigans of the gym battle |
![]() Axel | the gym battle was... yeah... and the fight BEFORE IT |
![]() Jack | uphill climb, both ways! |
![]() Axel | just...horrible luck |
![]() Jack | me now then? |
![]() Axel | yus |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yep! |
![]() Axel | make us proud, Brunt |
![]() Jack | "Stop it in its tracks Brunt! Avalanche!" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh no not the Avalanche again. |
![]() Axel | always more avalanche |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You learning Ultimate Ice is going to end up being the biggest pain, I can already tell. Jack: Brunt used Avalanche! Target Ferroseed Roll 6 4 1 + 4 AC 13 Damage 2 |
![]() Axel | welp |
![]() Drufle (GM) | A hit! |
![]() Axel | yes druf, you expect correctly |
![]() Jack | right! freeze the thing! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Off he goes. |
![]() Axel | stuck in a block of ice Brunt fails to care about the whims of the gods |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Well then, Weedle's turn! I am so going to get that rock. |
![]() Axel | give it a shot Drufle (GM): Weedle used Fury Cutter! Target Rochelle Roll 4 4 3 + 5 AC 16 Damage 1 Oh wow. |
![]() Rochelle | lol nope |
![]() Drufle (GM) | You upped your Defense? |
![]() Rochelle | yus |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Disturbing indeed. Wait, to 7? |
![]() Cici | powerful... |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Hot dang. That's scary. |
![]() Jack | Solid rock Rochelle stands there as the Weedle desperately tries to get through her rock hard bod Drufle (GM): Mareep used Thundershock! Target Rochelle Roll 2 2 6 + 4 AC 14 Damage 2 Oh, poor Mareep. |
![]() Jack | too bad Rochelle Rochelle doesn't even move. The Mareep just misses |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Rochelle! |
![]() Rochelle | I need to stop doing that |
![]() Cici | rochelle |
![]() Rochelle | right then! we'll fix it in post Rochelle used Rock Tomb! Target Weedle Roll 5 5 4 + 5 AC 14 Damage 3 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Lord, are you going to miss any time soon? Rochelle unleashes more rocks from the SKY |
![]() Jack | is it dead?! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Where did all of this luck come from? |
![]() Axel | "I...think you know what you're doing" |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, the Weedle is out! |
![]() Jack | I told you! she stole it from Blue! |
![]() Axel | Rochelle has all of blue's luck |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I think you're stealing luck from your past selves. This is where it all went from the gym battle. Clara! |
![]() Cici | razor leaf again if it aint broke keep razor leafing |
![]() Jack | that'll break it good Cici: Clara used Razor Leaf! Target Mareep Roll 3 4 6 + 5 AC 14 Damage 2 eat leaf |
![]() Axel | :D |
![]() Jack | yay! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nooooooo |
![]() Axel | all the luck its here |
![]() Drufle (GM) | These poor woodland creatures. |
![]() Cici | both of them are on 1 hp now i think |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Brunt! |
![]() Cici | lmao brunt do some sort of showy double kill |
![]() Axel | if only we had a spread move |
![]() Cici | slam their heads together like coconuts |
![]() Jack | can I hit each of them with Icicle Spear silly question perhaps |
![]() Drufle (GM) | .... I don't know actually. |
![]() Axel | you can't in the games, but this isn't the games |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I mean, I don't think there's a reason you can't? |
![]() Jack | well let's do it for the sake of experimentation! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | The move doesn't say you have to hit the same target both times. |
![]() Cici | its whole Thing now is that you get to attack twice yea |
![]() Jack | ain't no rule |
![]() Cici | so it makes sense to me that you could do a spread shot |
![]() Jack | "Okay Brunt, I'm gonna need you to try and spread your fire a bit. let's go for a double kill!" |
![]() Axel | Brunt becomes Reaper and uses his ultimate |
![]() Cici | ICE ICE ICE edgy brunt Jack: Brunt used Icicle Spear! Target Mareep Roll 5 6 1 + 6 AC 14 Damage 1 |
![]() Cici | nice |
![]() Axel | nice hit |
![]() Drufle (GM) | One down! Jack: Brunt used Icicle Spear! Target Ferroseed Roll 3 3 6 + 6 AC 14 Damage 1 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And another! |
![]() Jack | "Whoohoo!" |
![]() Cici | pOW haha |
![]() Axel | "That was some very fancy shooting there, Brunt" |
![]() Cici | that weedles mine fuckers |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Brunt really is amazing. |
![]() Axel | want to catch Ferroseed and Mareep Brunt doesn't know how to react |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yes, you have to actually catch them. |
![]() Cici | im getting my atk focus mega beedrill |
![]() Axel | right Brunt ... actually won a fight Brunt starts crying |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Ferroseed needs a 30. |
![]() Axel | what are their rates? 30 and... |
![]() Jack | "aw buddy!!" Jack hug Brunt |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Weedle needs a hilarious 19. |
![]() Axel | can you even fail that? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Nope. Mareep needs 28. |
![]() Axel | hmmm |
![]() Cici | uhh |
![]() Jack | I kinda want to try for the ferro |
![]() Axel | right, pokeballs are +20, right? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | So yeah, you can literally just have the Weedle. There's no way to fail it. |
![]() Cici | "no attribute found for TARGET:target|BST |
![]() Axel | I want the Ferro I am specialized in steels |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Oh yeah, don't use the macros. |
![]() Jack | you have more electric types now! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I would have to individually put in everyone's BST and screw that. |
![]() Cici | ok i used a great ball bc its the weakest thing i have |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Here ya go! |
![]() Axel | I can just hand you a pokeball I have some |
![]() Cici | ill just use the great ball hehe |
![]() Drufle (GM) | And yeah, if you'd like to use a Great ball, those are auto-catches for both of the other two. |
![]() Cici | its ok ooh |
![]() Axel | Pure electric is handled by Chrom |
![]() Jack | "Right Axel, if you fail this catch I'm having that ferroseed, ok?" |
![]() Cici | ok ill trade ya |
![]() Axel | Okay |
![]() Cici | thats sensible |
![]() Axel | "Cici, can I borrow a greatball?" Cici tosses one over |
![]() Axel | "T-thank you" |
![]() Jack | oh well then Axel catches the Ferroseed |
![]() Axel | with a ball that cannot fail to do so |
![]() Jack | another time! |
![]() Axel | do you have any steel or grass boons? |
![]() Jack | no... |
![]() Cici | :c |
![]() Axel | didn't think so |
![]() Cici | no pokemon for jack....... |
![]() Jack | s'alright |
![]() Axel | I'm behind "Now...mareep" |
![]() Jack | oh hey whatever |
![]() Axel | I'll try a pokeball on mareep |
![]() Jack | AAAAHHH |
![]() Axel | I'm so sorry |
![]() Jack | the ENTIRE log filled with error messages |
![]() Axel | what do I roll? oh, oh dear |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Just 2d6+aptitude+ball stat |

![]() Drufle (GM) | Congratulations! Now Jack, how about we get you even MORE money, huh? |
![]() Axel | I need to restock on balls |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Who has the highest Attention? I think it is actually Jack. |
![]() Axel | mine is only 5 or rather Nickel's is 5 Axel is like...2 or something my guess is Jack but he might be ERRORed into oblivious at the moment *oblivion |
![]() Cici | guys guysss |
![]() Axel | hi |
![]() Cici | weedle evolves at trainer level 1 er 2 |
![]() Axel | wut |
![]() Cici | hit the wrong bbutton lol |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yeah, that is indeed a bug. |
![]() Cici | kakuna evolves at 3 |
![]() Axel | get him into a fight then two fights |
![]() Cici | two fights and i got a beedrill :> |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I need to make a point here, then. It's kind of a silly rule, and you guys can decide if we want to ignore it. |
![]() Axel | right, the HP thing |
![]() Drufle (GM) | By the rules, you have to have at least 3 days between evolutions. |
![]() Axel | or is it not that oh |
![]() Cici | :o |
![]() Axel | that's a dumb rule |
![]() Cici | fine by me tbh |
![]() Axel | lets not |
![]() Drufle (GM) | One of the perks of the Evolver persona is that you get to ignore that. |
![]() Cici | ill just not use the kakuna for a little while if nothing else |
![]() Axel | 3 days is like...3-4 sessions |
![]() Cici | well given all the time it took to get here |
![]() Jack | back again |
![]() Cici | it's probably night here now isnt it |
![]() Jack | rolling |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It is! It's quite late, actually. |
![]() Axel | who's keeping track of the time? Jack: Attention |

![]() Axel | hmmm do we even know what day it is? |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, make an Aptitude check. I had a time-table in the threeums. Jack: Aptitude |

![]() Cici | its just gravel ewww |
![]() Jack | the legs |
![]() Cici | so thats where it comes from............... GDSHFDISHG |
![]() Rochelle | this doesn't seem quite right there we go |
![]() Cici | im dead |
![]() Drufle (GM) | I keep just overlaying them. And hoping it covers them up. |
![]() Jack | transitonal phase |
![]() Drufle (GM) | It never does. So we have a Boldore! |
![]() Axel | "Oh! Rochelle!" |
![]() Cici | 33 pokedex count :> she big... |
![]() Jack | Congratulations! |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Boldore's ability is unfortunately not that great. Rochelle jumps onto top of Axel for hugs |
![]() Jack | " " |
![]() Drufle (GM) | But at least she has +1 hp now! |
![]() Cici | axel fucking dies |
![]() Drufle (GM) | CRUNCH Axel is smothered by rock |
![]() Jack | *flattened |
![]() Axel | don't worry, its pokemon nobody dies what is her ability? |
![]() Jack | we are all very durable |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Yes, nobody dies. Her ability is Sturdy! Which is not very good in this game. On the round she comes in, if she is hit by an NVE attack, it does no damage instead of 1. That's all. |
![]() Jack | pish |
![]() Axel | for someone with only 4 hp that's nice |
![]() Drufle (GM) | True. So that's all for session 10! |
![]() Cici | can i have my weedle |

![]() Cici | https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O00mvFPFjlsXA6lxyyLzY5wheSz17CDGiEobehl5heM/edit#gid=0 |
![]() Drufle (GM) | Alright, all permissions should be correct. I also fixed their stats to be appropriate. That'll be all for now, so go ahead and hop out. |
![]() Cici | later nerds |
