Stalkers RPG Main Action and Team Status [SEASON 4]

[Suicune's Fire]

This may be my only chance before things start to get a little more busy and dangerous. So better make this count while I can!

I'm gonna interview Typhen the Luxio ♂ and see if he's seen anything odd or anything that stands out. From one electric type to another. I just hope he can help us.

Interview Rapport: VERY POSITIVE
+1 Shared type
+1 Shared evolution stage

You are quick to find Typhen patrolling the Mercenary Guild after the sun sets, and as soon as you spot him, you approach with caution, ensuring to make yourself known so that he does not mistake you for a threat. The luxio has his eyes trained on you fairly early, and his prowling demeanour does not seem to change as you draw in closer.

He stops and watches you. "Do you seek battle, pikachu?" he asks, voice deep and serious.

You tell him that you have sought him out not to battle him or anyone else, but to speak with him about anything odd that he has seen of late. The luxio's face remains unchanged as he inspects yours, as if trying to see through a perceived guise.

"Odd," he grunts, sighing through his nose as he turns and begins prowling once more. You follow alongside him, hoping he does not intend to put distance between you. "This whole town is odd. Odder still are folk like you who approach a stranger expecting to engage in thrilling conversation."

You clench your jaw as you resign to the fact that this luxio is being somewhat difficult, so you alter your approach, beginning to ask him about what he does and why he prowls the grounds at night. At first he does not seem to care for what you are saying, but you persist, determined to get something useful out of him. The electric type continues walking, not looking at you at all.

"I run this guild," he tells you, tone bereft of pride or joy. "It gives me purpose, and I provide purpose to those who seek out mercenary work. It isn't a life most can bear. Many try, and many end up dead." He finally turns to you, stopping for a few seconds. "You're here about the Stalkers, aren't you?" You nod. "You're either brave, or you're stupid. I'm familiar with both types." He turns, and continues walking. "Some of the other guilds have become flooded with devilish shadow. If you wish to make yourself useful, I would recommend starting with that. My guild wasn't infested with it, but there rests a gate here which previously led to nothing. Now, I know it leads somewhere, and I was not the one who changed that."

He stops walking, and you do the same, only to realise that this whole time, he has been leading you to the edge of the property. You see, at the base of a hillside, a peculiar gate with protruding spikes all around it. The gate itself is large, heavy, and unwelcoming. You can only imagine that this is the work of a Stalker, and this gate most likely leads somewhere unsavoury.

Typhen turns to you, catching your eye. "Odd." He takes a seat, silent for a handful of seconds, before he speaks again. "There is one thing you could do for me, pikachu. I have battled many a foe, but one I will never beat is time. It is ever evasive, and my list of duties will never diminish. Have you heard of adrenaline orbs? I have come to rely on them to make the best use of my time." He turns to you again, eyes cold. "Which normally does not include idle chatter." He gets back up and begins stalking away, and once more, you follow. "I have run out, and I am...not on the best terms with Frinottie at this time. If you were to get one for me, I would reward you with plenty of splinters and a unique set of blueprints for a gemstone."

SIDE MISSION STARTED: Adrenaline Gives Me Wings

Spoiler:

Synopsis: Typhen is a hard working luxio who strives to get in training, errands, and professional jobs daily. He hardly takes breaks, and is notorious for working himself to the bone. He often relies on adrenaline orbs to help him get more done in the day, but he has recently run out of stock, and he asks the Emissaries to get him one in exchange for coin and blueprints for making a unique gemstone.

Objective: Give Typhen an [Adrenaline Orb].

Reward: Blueprints to a special gemstone, $Splinters$

Eventually you and Typhen reach the front of the guild, where you had met. He meets your gaze again. "Your quest to abolish the Stalkers is noble, and I wish you strength in battle and success on your mission. If you wish to get me that adrenaline orb, come and see me once you have it. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye out for anything...odd." He gives you a shadow of a smile, then turns, his tail flicking, and enters the guild building.
