Stalkers RPG Main Action and Team Status [SEASON 4]

[Suicune's Fire]

Blast these infernal wounds! As I am otherwise occupied healing myself, I might as well use the opportinity to pach up a few minor stains on my allies minds and souls alongside my own.

[Use Medicine to heal Yris and Old Lace for 2 Purity each, Sparkstrike and Nicklefool for 1 point of Purity each, and Madder and Lita for 1 point of Sanity each.]

Feeling refreshed, you use your powers after the sun rises to focus on your fellow Emissaries and help to restore them to a suitable state.

First you restore purity of mind to yourself, then target Old Lace, sitting him down and restoring some of his spiritual damage. Next you target the same area in Nicklefool and Sparkstrike, then use the remainder of your energy to focus on Madder and Lita.

Yris the Ultra Necrozma restores 2 points of Purity to Yris and Old Lace.
Yris the Ultra Necrozma restores 1 point of Purity to Sparkstrike and Nicklefool.
Yris the Ultra Necrozma restores 1 point of Sanity to Madder and Lita.

I'll go have a look at (1d) Floor 5, Tower (Shilamora’s dwelling)

[Suicune's Fire]

I'll go have a look at (1d) Floor 5, Tower (Shilamora’s dwelling)

You head back to Salvage Keep, keen to see what lies in the last area that you haven't yet searched. Once you arrive, you are let in by Holly once again and head straight up to the top floor.

You begin scouring the rooms up the top of the Keep, notably Shilamora's room. There are a few off-shoot rooms here and there, but mostly the entire floor is dedicated to the town mayor as her own space. You can see immediately when you enter that she has many paintings of herself and her family, and some with friends. She has the occasional framed letter or declaration, and upon reading them, you find that they are mostly words of praise from neighbouring towns or villages. Her furniture is rather high-end and comfortable, which is quite the contrast to the other belongings that the pokémon in town possess.

One thing you find that sticks out to you is a gift-wrapped box on her desk. Curious, you make your way over and inspect it, realising that it seems to have some kind of specific lock. You quickly realise that this is an elemental lock, and it doesn't seem to specify which type is needed. You lean over and blow some fire into it, which is immediately absorbed by the lock. It pops and smokes, then drops off the box.

{Gift-Wrapped Box: +Any type+}

You slowly open the box, hoping that whatever lies inside is not something that Shilamora needs or values. As the lid comes off, your stomach drops as you see gore and guts inside the box sprinkled with glitter. Your immediate response is to gag, but you resist, instead noticing a something dark and solid beneath the entrails. The sight is burnt into your mind, and the only thing you can do is wonder where they came from and why they are in a box. The thought turns in your mind, making you more fearful by the second.

Brass the Braixen sustains 2 points of Sanity damage.

You try to push past the mental assault as you attempt to forget what you saw, and use your tail stick to slosh aside the guts to see what lies beneath it. You feel in some way that it is important, so you put the lid back on and leave with the box. Once you get back to the clubhouse, you use the tools at your disposal to clear the guts and remove the thing at the bottom: some kind of rectangular object. It takes you a while to realise what it is, but eventually identify it as a bomb. At first you nearly jump and throw it, but you maintain your calm and place it well away from where you or your fellow Emissaries typically spend time. Hopefully, this thing is inactive...

[Rectangular Bomb] was added to the Team Inventory.


Brass the Braixen (M: Fire)

[HorusMyDude]

Looks like we got ourselves a good ol' fashion hoedown. Better to be part of it, then watchin' I always say.

Action: Interview Imeida.

[Suicune's Fire]

Lillian has had a decent night, but killers are still out there. Now that Silcress has turned up dead, she's worried that the other medallion holders will be following him to the afterlife. Plus, she has a score to settle.

Lillian will take the Obsidian dagger from the team inventory and equip it.
Lillian will go to the Berry house, spending 15 SP to buy

And promptly eat the berry.

Then, it's time to take down Imeida.
Lillian doesn't even have anything to say.
It's time to FIGHT!

((And possibly talk to the Kangaskhan for diplomacy once the shiny has been TAKEN OFF HER GRRGRRGRRR))

Lillian the Lopunny equips the [E:Obsidian Dagger] and buys an [Enigma Berry]. $15 SP$ removed from the Team Wallet.

After equipping yourself with the obsidian dagger forged by Neo, you crack your neck from side to side, and down the enigma berry you bought. You jump up and down on the spot, rolling out your joints as you think of Imeida and the beatdown she's about to receive. You're ready for this, and you're not scared to show her what happens with you mess with Lillian.

You head back to Imeida's house with Old Lace by your side, your mind focused and your skills honed. You lost once, but now you're prepared, and as you approach the seemingly disorientated kangaskhan pacing back and forth outside her home, you call her name, getting her attention. She snaps to you, fire in her eyes, as you flick your head at her and goad her into battle. The normal type snarls, charging right at you as the rematch begins.

HOSTILE ATTACK!

Lillian, Medium, Normal type. 10 HP, 30% dodge rate, 1d4 attack die. 105 Speed. Lucky
Imeida, Large, Normal type. 12 HP, 20% dodge rate, 1d6 attack die. 90 Speed.

Fight!

Lillan goes first!

Lillian rolls 19%, miss! LUCKY ACTIVATE; reroll!
Lillian rolls 28%, hit! 1 point of damage, +2 from Obsidian Dagger = 3 points of damage.
Imeida: 9HP remaining.

Imeida rolls 53%, hit! 1 point of damage, -2 from Enigma Berry = 0 damage!

Lillian rolls 36%, hit! 1 point of damage, +2 = 3 points of damage.
Imeida: 6HP remaining.

Imeida rolls 41%, hit! 4 points of damage, -2 = 2 points of damage.
Lillian: 7HP remaining.

OLD LACE STEPS IN!

Old Lace rolls 63%, hit! 1 point of damage, doubled = 2.
Imeida: 4HP remaining.

Imeida rolls 96%, hit! 4 points of damage.
Old Lace: 8HP remaining.

Lillian rolls 42%, hit! 2 points of damage, +2 = 4 points of damage.
Imeida: 0HP remaining.

LILLIAN AND OLD LACE WIN!

After a little cooperation from Old Lace, Imeida goes down. As she plants into the dusty ground, you rip the medallion from her neck and cringe as its shadowy power courses through you. You frown, noticing that this one seems to be stronger than the last, and wince as it seems to dig its influence into your mind and burn through your soul. You manage to shrug it off as you feel the enigma berry kick in, but someone without your resistance would otherwise be affected.

You quickly stuff the medallion into your pack, trying to separate yourself from it as best you can. Once it's tucked away, you feel like you can breathe again, and focus back on the kangaskhan now unconscious before you.

[%Medallion of the Baleful% 2P DMG] was added to the Team Inventory.

It takes Imeida a little while to wake up, but when she does, you ensure that she is made compliant.

Imeida the Kangaskhan is now COMPLIANT.


Lillian the Lopunny (M: Normal)

Health: 7/10 | Sanity: 8/8 | Purity: 10/10
Battle Stance: Fight
Perk: Diplomacy
Trait: Lucky
Equipment: Obsidian Dagger, Enigma Berry (until Day 5 Day Cycle)

Looks like we got ourselves a good ol' fashion hoedown. Better to be part of it, then watchin' I always say.

Action: Interview Imeida.

Interview Rapport: COMPLIANT.

After helping Lillian deal with Imeida, the two of you manage to rouse her once more and Lillian starts to talk some sense into her. It's then that you begin to ask her some questions, but it seems that her mind is still hazy and there is not too much you can get out of her. The first thing she tells you is that a large, cloaked pokemon gave her the medallion, and once she put it on, it changed her mind. She could no longer think clearly, she had little control over her actions, and she ended up hurting Lillian twice. She turns to Lillian, pain in her eyes.

"I am so very sorry," she says, shaking her head as she eyes the ground. "I never wanted to hurt you." She then looks at you. "Or you."

You tell her that you understand, and that the both of you are aware that it was not her choice. She seems thankful for your understanding, and you ask her if there is anything further that she could think of that might be able to help you on your mission. She looks mildly uncomfortable.

"I know this...sounds awful, but I think Kannari has been different to me since my awful incident with my boy. I hate to say it, but...last time I stopped by her house, there were strange scratches all over her table and her workshop gave me the creeps. She has always been a good friend of mine, but something about her lately has not been sitting right with me." She looks away. "It's awful of me to talk about my friend that way."

She does not seem to have much more information to you, and excuses herself quite quickly afterwards while mentioning how exhausted she is. She does, however, apologise for attacking the both of you, and offers you up two berries.

[Oran Berry] and [Sitrus Berry] were added to the Team Inventory.

"If I think of anything more, I will contact you...I promise," she says, trying to muster a smile before apologising one last time and heading into her house.

[Truly]

I'd like to talk to Dee'Mang. From what I gather he's pretty young and I want to approach him like... an equal. I want to see if there's anything he really likes to do, anything he can teach me, and then maybe we can do it together while I get to know him. I don't want to pressure him too much about the Stalkers initially. Just talk to him about his friends, family, and maybe if the accident comes up in passing, we can touch on it.

Just want to make a connection here.

Kids see things, you know?

Also if he has anything really cool (an item, or something like that), it'd be pretty cool to see it. Though, I won't take it from him if he doesn't volunteer it.
Friendly friend stuff.

Interview Rapport: POSITIVE
+1 Shared evolution stage

You find Dee'mang hanging around Reuse and Recycle, the large plot of land containing an extensive amount of reused rubbish put together by Sebbit, the drilbur who lives there. You briefly meet him, but he moves aside for you to speak with Dee'mang. The pikipek seems curious at your arrival, and cocks his large, tear-dropped shaped head. He stares at you with one eye.

"What are those for?" he asks, his gaze trained on your pincers. You tell him what you use them for, then turn away from him briefly, angle one pincer into the sky, and fire off a shot of water. The pikipek watches in amazement as the water trails off and eventually drops to the ground many metres away. He flaps his wings in excitement, yelping, "That was awesome! Can you teach me?!"

You maintain a gentle tone with him as you explain that it's something only water-types can do, which he seems a little disheartened by. You then offer to go and shoot some water with him, and he responds excitedly, trying to grab your pincer with his long beak as he leads you to another part of the Reuse and Recycle junkyard. Eventually he collects multiple empty cans, which he lines up on a broken piece of furniture that almost makes a flat surface, and tells you to fire at them. You start doing so, watching as he gets more and more excited as you go. You take the opportunity to ask him about the things he likes to do and, enthralled by your skills with water, begins to tell you.

"Well, Sebbit is my best friend, but Mama doesn't like him very much. One time she said he was dangerous and said to stay away from him but I said no, and then she tried to punish me with her electricity. But I'm faster at flying than her, so I flied away and she couldn't catch me." He begins to use his left foot, which you notice is missing a toe, to scratch at the ground here and there. "She's not my real mummy, you know. She's just my new mummy. My old mummy died when I was just hatched." You can tell that his words carry sadness, but more so than anything, they are matter-of-fact. He points with his wing at the last can remaining excitedly. "Shoot it!"

You turn to the can and angle your pincer, firing off a shot of water. The can spins multiple times before hitting the pile of rubbish behind it, and Dee'mang cheers, flapping over to the cans to reset them while laughing in surprise. The final one is too bent to place, so he finds a replacement, sets it down in place, then returns to you again.

"Thanks for playing with me," he says to you, a smile across his beak. "Everyone at school is mean to me, and that's why I'm bad. Now they don't want me back...but Miss Willow is mean and Pakki is a bad friend. She didn't let me join any of her games..." His face curls into a frown, and you watch him become slightly detached. "Maybe a Stalker will get her." He looks distant for a moment before he looks back at you and smiles. "Shoot it again!"

You're having mixed feelings about this now, but continue to entertain him, hoping to get something more out of him. At one stage you ask him if he has anything for you, and he nods frantically and flutters off, only to return with a circlet of leaves. It doesn't look crudely crafted, so you wonder if it was something he found amongst the rubbish and decided to keep. He gives it to you as a present, and the moment you touch it, you feel something sinister emanating from it. You don't know how you can tell, but this is an item related to a Stalker.

[Leaf Crown] was added to the Team Inventory.

You spend the rest of the afternoon hanging around with Dee'mang, but gather nothing further from him. Eventually he tells you he has to get home, so you say goodbye and the two of you part ways. You're not sure what you can use this leaf crown for, but you decide to hang onto it just in case.

But the action submission period is now closed! Thanks for submitting.

[Suicune's Fire]

Just as the sun begins to set, all of you are back at the clubhouse, discussing your findings and planning your next moves. It was a long day filled with a lot of interesting finds, all of which you feel the need to share with one another so that each of you can make informed decisions come nighttime. Suddenly, all of you hear a rap on the door and each of you turn to one another, falling silent. There's no movement in the room as you hear yet another knock, and a few of you slowly shuffle to the door, curious to see what's going on. One of you looks through the peephole and see the form of a grey-bodied, large-winged bug pokémon with only one antenna.


Orin the Vivillon.


None of you open the door as you whisper about what you should do, before you hear him speak from the other side.

"I know, How did he get here? and Do we let him in? but trust me, you're going to want to hear this." There's silence before he follows up with, "Come on. Just let me in."

Still, nobody budges as all of you ponder how he knew where your clubhouse was, and what he is doing here. It's then that he says the most disturbing thing of all:


"Alright, fine. I'll say it from here.

I'm a Stalker."
