Stalkers RPG General Chat Thread (Emissary Clubhouse)

[Truly]

Also, I'm making a note here- apparently there is no thief skill, so in order to get that Silcress the Zweilous to take off his amulet of madness we either need to knock him out or try a diplomacy force. Since he is a night time only kinda pokemon, and approx the same size as Lillian, I'm willing to try a diplomacy check (and if that fails, she'll probably survive the battle).

Is he wearing an amulet? I can't find anything about this.

Im also curious- if we are fairly sure that Orin is a stalker, do we want to assassinate him? Do we want to put people with him every night on a protect duty so he cant sneak off and do a murder?

I don't think we we want to assassinate him yet! He's either a Stalker, or our best source of information (or, honestly, both).

I would expect someone who knows or is interested in removing brains would be on our suspect list too, if only we could figure out who has been behind all those weird anatomy book borrowings in the library...

Maybe we should also ask specifically if townsfolk notice any particularly lethargic behaviour, and question pokemon who haven't shown up to work or socialise in a while-- was there somebody like that mentioned in the grookey interview?

And also in the interview with Eclipse, the houndour therapist! He mentioned Vex, specifically. And Timpani also might be worth looking into based on this lead.

The town doctor or medicine expert would likely have to know a good deal about anatomy-- we could ask who that is, or ask them if anyone's been asking them about anatomy or if anyone helps them out.

I believe that's Kaskin, the croagunk at the Black Dart Apothecary. But I doubt Kaskin is the mysterious surgeon we seek.

[Edit]
However, I'm staring to come around on this idea. Based on the Confessional Note 1 (in the post above), my go-to suspects here are Yasha, Eclipse, and Kaskin, and Kaskin is the only one of them we haven't interviewed yet.
@LKWayvern would you consider talking to him? I think you should have +2 on the interaction...


@Scytherwolf
Do you think you could take a look at Finichi's body and "brain?" I can do instead, if you think it's too risky. I'd really like to get this undersea area searched, but we don't have any pressing leads there yet, so maybe I can shelf it for now. [edit] Thanks Suicine!

Just a note, for things that you can take a look at, you generally have to see an interactive set of brackets like so: {Destroyed Brain Fragments: <Technical>} or something. If there are no brackets, you can assume that it is not a possible action. You can still search the location it happened at, but there is no guarantee for specifics like this.

. . . ow. That was a tough robot. That letter doesn't seem of much use, but I hope we can find a place to use that key.

Is there anyone or anywhere I should focus on in the morning?

[LKWayvern]

Take a rest if you need, Morzone, think you earned that.

Alternatively, we have the money to buy that medallion from Frinottie now, if you'd like a low-stakes action to take.

Anything I need to do?

Anything I need to do?

You're Lita, correct?

I don't think we have anything with Security right now, but I bet you'd get a very good success if you went to chat with Typhen the Luxio -- oop, but that's only at night.

If you're looking for something to do, what do you think about going ahead and learning the Clairvoyance skill from Yasha? At this point, we've got some stuff that we're not sure where to use it next, like the Alpha Key Card, or places like the Bootleg Keyhole that we don't have the keys for.

Other than that, I'd search one of the Guild Sleeping Quarters areas (frequented enough that it's unlikely to be impure or insane), or speak with somebody... but at best you're going to get a +1 and modest/intimidating. The only +2 is gonna be on Typhen I think.

[Edit] But we are really curious about the graffiti at the (43) Rusty Shine Units, and I'm really curious about the "poetry" at the Yellowback Huts! ((30a) Cluster of Huts <UNSEARCHED>)

To all: I think we need more money. I'm uneasy about stealing from these Pokemon, but it might be really handy to have things like the Aqua Gear (depending on what's inside the Barred Cave) but I feel like we could be a lot more efficient with restoring our wounded -- in body, psyche, and soul -- if we could grab the first-aid kit from The Invincible Drifter. Resting seems like a waste, especially considering we only get one action per day!

[EmeraldSky]

@Truly: I could learn Clairvoyence for the day action, then check the graffiti.

[ARandomTool]

Alright, I'm assuming the darkness around Trinket Tower is a Seinaru dispel - Of course, noone's scouted there yet so I might be wrong... but in any case cash money and loot is good stuff.

[Morzone]

Ok now that we've found that chest we definitely need to go buy that medallion from Frinotte.

I think I'll go and explore one of the other stores, I want to see if we can find a place that sells under-water gear so we can go search those underwater areas.

The shops were at the bottom of the map post in the main thread, but I'm going to move them to the item thread since that makes more sense now; the Invincible Drifter sells Aqua Gear!
