[SEASON 2] The Stalkers RPG - Main Action and Team Status [ENDED... FOR NOW]

[Krysari]

The darkness around me is fading slowly.

My head...my heart...my body. I feel heavy, burdened. This weight pressing on my chest and my mind grows ever tiresome. It consumes me, grips me, twists my feelings. However it...appears to be lifting. Clarity is becoming tangible and the terror once presiding within me feels almost...gone. Almost.


A shift in my energy allows me to wake. No longer am I a prisoner to this persistent darkness. As my eyes open, I see your figure. You are watching over me, perhaps to guard me or perhaps to imprison me once more. You are a Suicune, a mythical Pokémon whose virtues include purification and freedom. I use this knowledge to guide me as I slowly rise.

You jump to your feet, and I freeze, locking our eyes. “Do not be afraid,” I assure you, my voice deep and soothing. I carefully analyse your body language as you appear to do the same for me, and for a moment we are trapped in a standstill.

But then I sense it. I can feel the presence within you. “Are you...an agent of Mew?” I ask, and you appear marginally shocked before affirming my suspicions. Relief wraps its warm arms around me as I ascend fully into a stand. “Thank Arceus,” I sigh, giving you a low bow. “I am Krysari, the Emeraldsoul Sage.” You do not seem to be aware of what or who I am, and I wonder just how much Mew divulged to you before sending you here. “I am a Utopian Angel, my dear. One of five present in your city.”

The look of confusion on your face no longer surprises me. It appears as if I will need to discuss everything with you.

“Firstly, I must thank you. The Shadow Plague had me in its dastardly grasp, but it seems...your skills of resuscitation combined with your divine powers from Mew were able to stir me from what would otherwise have been an eternal slumber. You have my gratitude.” Another bow. No quantity of bows can convey my gratitude sufficiently. “Angels are Pokémon chosen in Utopia, the heavenly kingdom unreachable through ordinary means, to guide, teach and protect its realms. Mew is Utopia’s messiah, and the Angels are its guardians. As I disclosed, I am the Emeraldsoul Sage. My role is to inspire, pass on wisdom, and bring peace. As a sage, I have valuable possessions that I believe...were separated from me when the other Angels and I descended from Utopia.

“The Enthrallers are evil, malicious and destructive creatures who seek only to fulfil their sick agenda. I am not privy to the entire agenda, so unfortunately what I can tell you about their mission is limited. One of the other Angels I descended with may be able to tell you more... And this brings me to my next point.

“Five Angels were chosen to combat the horrors that the Enthrallers have wrought upon this city. We were certain that our strength combined would be enough to liberate the innocents of this world, but we did not move quickly enough, and our plans were intercepted by agents of the Abyss... They had already developed a weapon to use against us were we to show ourselves, and this was the Shadow Parasite. Although you dispelled the plague, the parasite still resides within me and I...will be unable to complete my duties. Therefore, it is up to you and the other Emissaries.

“I am sure you are aware of the Sin Purge Ritual. This ritual is a sacred set of instructions that must be followed in order for the city to be cleansed of the evil that chokes it. However, this ritual...is impossible without the help of all five Angels. Worse yet, none of us will be able to fulfil our roles, which means you and your fellow Emissaries must retrieve all of our possessions and complete our duties in our stead.

“I can feel the parasite within me... It saps my energy and drains my powers significantly. The only possible way to remove it is for me to return to Utopia, but I cannot do that without the help of the other Angels. We simply do not have time, which is why you must take up arms and complete what the other Angels and I started. Fortunately, you seem immune to the Shadow Parasite, although the effects of the plague still affect you...and damage your mind. I am sure you know this well enough by now.

“There are five steps involved in the ritual’s setup and completion. I can provide you with the first step, and the other four Angels will be able to help you with the rest. The first requires uncovering Hallowed Ground and blessing it with a special gift called Seinaru. Seinaru is impossible for you to learn without the help of an Angel... As I am injured, I can only teach one Emissary Seinaru right now. As you discover more Angels, more of you will be able to learn Seinaru. But for now, you must bring me one willing learner so that I may teach you how to read our language, how to speak it, and how to bless what needs to be blessed."

Krysari the Tsareena can teach 1 Emissary the “Seinaru” Ability.

“In order for my role to be completed, you must find my four holy possessions: my Rod of Light, Jadestone Bangle, Stonequarter Cloak and my precious tome, Wisdom of Ages. Oh—I can see that you already possess a page from the Wisdom of Ages, and my [Broken Jadestone Bangle]! To complete the bangle, you must find the Shimmer Crystal and Glimmer Crystal, then repair the three pieces to reconstruct it. I am able to detect that one of them resides in some kind of...vehicle hanger. The other is only one or two locations away. Both are right near the fringe of the city... I hope that helps.

“At the start of every day and every night, I will be able to detect the location of one of my possessions, of which I will notify you as the sun falls and rises. I can sense that you have other Angel objects in your possession. Allow me to organise your Team Inventory so that you can distinguish those items properly. I cannot identify which items belong to which Angel, but if you find a possession of mine, I will be able to tell you. The Enthrallers may have hidden them about the city, unfortunately..."

Utopia Angel items in the Team Inventory have been organised!

“I have done enough speaking. Please come and see me if you have further questions, as I will remain here in the safety of your quarters. I believe this place is shielded from the Enthrallers, so they will be unable to detect me here as they have been unable to detect the Emissaries. Once more, thank you, Tazz.”

Krysari the Tsareena has been added to the Discovered Utopia Angels list in the third post!
Krysari grants a +1 Sanity restoration bonus every time an Emissary uses Rest.
