[SEASON 2] Stalkers RPG General Chat Thread (The Secret Clubhouse!)

[Noblejanobii]

Caagu the Numel needs to be diplomacy'd on, and then escorted to a lock. Madder is on 3 Sanity, so it boils down to which of the two of us can be more easily replaced tomorrow, Laura. Diplomacy and Escort/Protection peeps, what are you guys up to during tomorrow's day cycle?

We have to be careful though. If I use exorcism right now I'll probably be captured by other stalkers. So one of you should probably do it.

Darn, I was really rooting for Finichi to be innocent :/

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Ultimately, my personal thoughts say Laura. I don't want to assume that we can casually allow Madder to Exorcise if there are any other ways to raise the Stalker's awareness of us, AKA Dark Event 2. Also, as Diplomacy costs no sanity, Laura can actually remain active until she needs to do anything other than Diplomacy, which is considerably more flexible and also doesn't involve others needing their actions to rescue Madder.

Oh, yeah, Madder's not on the table. Three sanity is not a fire I want to play with. I was saying that between Laura and I, one of us will have to have a role that we were going to play tomorrow, replaced. Someone needs to use Diplomacy on Caagu, or get a good rapport with them, and only after that will someone be able to Escort Caagu to that lock we want to take them to. I've got a bee (Beedrill?) in my bonnet about getting this done tomorrow because I don't feel like Caagu getting killed, which will make opening that lock cost more turns than it ought to, and I don't feel like having to waste a night action on protecting Caagu again.


TL;DR we need to queue up someone who's not Laura to use Diplomacy or get a good Rapport with Caagu right away tomorrow, or have Laura use Diplomacy on Caagu, have me do the exorcism, and have someone replace me on Escort duty.

I think we are in less need of Escorters than we are Diplomats (and push come to shove Laura can be an Escorter if she doesn't need to use Diplomacy), but with how few of us are left active, the honest truth is that we might as well consider Caagu's removal of those locks to be a multi-cycle process.

With that said, you should probably do the honors.

@Shieldbearer @Speed-X @Soups
I believe you three also have Diplomacy. Any of you willing to volunteer?

I agree with your first point, but not your second. With so few of us, we need to be as efficient as is possible - Rapport->Escort->That stupid door is open, and then my night cycles are free.


Let me see what the other Escorters think of all this. @Bulbasaur, @Chibi Altaria, @azura evley, @Shruikan, and Aurimas (since you've already been mentioned), thoughts?

Kames might be able to get a good rapport with Caagu, too, so I'll drop them a line. @Spiderc, thoughts?

All of that said, bear in mind that the rapport/Diplomacy must happen before Caagu is Escorted if we're gonna pull this off in the most efficient way.

[azura evley]

i can escort caagu, but i don't know where to escort them

[LKWayvern]

So then I suppose I can use Diplomacy on Caagu, followed by @azura evley Escorting them, and @Velocity doing the Excorcism if no one has any objections or better ideas?

[VeloJello]

Provided this is the plan we're going with, you'll be escorting Caagu to (89c) Macanan Textile Manufacturing Floors 21-30, where Type Conductors: +Fire Type+, +Ground Type+ block the path to potential valuable info. Note, you will need to do this after Laura, or someone else, has used Diplomacy on Caagu, or it will fail (since we need to have a rapport or have the Pokemon be compliant). Gimme one second, though, because I have to check something - see below.

This should work, but I went over the logs and there was a trap in the area. Katzu isn't healthy enough to take damage from that trap, though, so I need to ask the Emolga and/or the Flareon if there's any way to know the trap's disarmed.
