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

[EmeraldSky]

Good idea. I recommend Security peeps sticking to exploration for now - disarming items can wait til later.

Good call--sanity's one thing we all need at full power, whether we have the exorcism skill or not.

Next night cycle I can send Madder to handle Locked Door: {Apartment 397: <Lockpick> / +Fighting+} if no one has any objections.

[Morzone]

I'll go check the outside of the tower, hopefully the lantern isn't on a higher floor.

also, was I the only one who thought 'Lephley' was a male name?

[VeloJello]

I talked to Zamsi earlier. Based on what she said... I think we can eliminate her from the Embalm suspects list, unless she's an absolutely masterful liar. Plus, she was wearing a tie, something that wasn't on the laundry receipt.


Let's review. Elton's customer had washed:
1 suit
1 pants
2 jackets
2 wing cuffs
They were also a regular, as demonstrated by their laundry list. Elton's clients are as follows:
Mac - Glameow. No need for wing cuffs.
Tamtor - Shuckle. Can't wear half of what's on this list.
Blussy - Venomoth. Can't wear pants.
Bonnie - Nidoqueen. No need for wing cuffs.
Queloon - Tranquill. I'm almost positive they can't wear pants, a suit, or a jacket, but I'm leaving them on the list.
Rabukan - Druddigon. Can wear all of the things on this list.
Poko - Skarmory. Same deal as Queloon.
Jarck - Carbink. I have no idea what he could even be dropping off to have washed.
Zamsi - Flygon. Can wear everything on the list.
Nepp - Sableye. No wing cuffs.
Orein - Escavelier. No wing cuffs.


Being exceedingly loose with the definitions of "suit" and "pants", we're left with four suspects: Poko, Rabukan, Queloon, and Zamsi. The wing cuffs with Stalker energy are designed to be worn on pointed wings, which I believe rules out Queloon and his feathered wings. This leaves us with Rabukan, Poko, and Zamsi. The lock at the fire department was for a Grass-type or Poison-type - that means that our suspect is either someone who's not on Elton's list (seriously unlikely - Monty and Lephley are the only winged Pokemon who could open that locker, and they have the wrong wing shapes), or someone who could get someone else (read: Krum) at the fire department to open the locker. So the owner of the wing cuffs is almost guaranteed to be someone with access to the fire station.


All that in mind... unless I've missed something, Rabukan the Druddigon is more than likely our Embalm. I won't attempt an exorcism until I hear from the rest of you, so hit me with all the feedback you've got. If we can't come to a sound conclusion tonight, someone with Restrain needs to use it on Rabukan. The other Restrain users are busy, so... @Sacred Fire, @Speed-X, can you stand by?

Well, we were fairly sure that Philter was a grass type based on her kills, only to later directly learn that typing has absolutely no bearing on a Stalker's abilities whatsoever.

we really, *really* should just talk to Elton and confirm who owns those Wing Cuffs-if that receipt isn't even a total false lead and Elton declares he's never seen them in his life. I don't want to do the macguffin hunt. I don't like the macguffin hunt.

[SassySnivy]

So restrain? Yes or no?

[VeloJello]

So restrain? Yes or no?

Please do. Tomorrow we can try diplomacy on Elton and get his information.


That leaves me with a pretty free evening, though... anything I can get done?

[Shieldbearer]

I can't seem to make it anywhere during the day... Maybe I should lose some of my new weight.

Anywho, any places you people may need tackled bravely, with no regard for one's own well being? I mean, I'm sorry to any of the inhabitants that wished me to stay safe, buuut getting hurt in some way kinda comes with being a hero of any kind.

[Morzone]

There was a "47" in the corner of the torn page, so I think you're right there. We need to find the other half.

A summary of places where philter has hidden her Diary entries/hidout/torn note:

Torn note - Destno Public housing complex floors 41-50 (A very impoverished and ugly place)
Diary entry 1 - (in the vine lockbox) Shalerich apartment building (abandoned, small and lower class)
diary entry 2 - Destno Housing complex floors 21-30
Hideout - Starwatcher skyscraper floors 81-90 (abandoned penthosue)

The pattern I see is that Philter obviously wants to live in a penthouse, but is accustomed with poverty-stricken areas. Our best bet would be to search thrugh places specifically described as extra poor, low class, and generally run-down and ugly. Probably and apartment or housing complex, since that's also a theme.

Please do. Tomorrow we can try diplomacy on Elton and get his information.

We need to do a look around for places Philter might be hiding the second half of their note, so we can figure out the 4 digit passcode. My prime suspect is (61) Windstone housing project, because it best fits the theme of the other places we found philter's notes. There are of course other poor places, but I think this one has a lot of potential. I'm planning to look into there once I search the tower where Uru's been hanging out.

Also we need to finish going through Ironrock apartments, since we never fully followed up on that clue from early on. I expect we'll find info on some instructor, but you never know.

[SassySnivy]

Ahahah...Im still trying to catch up myself. Any particular questions I ought to ask her??
