Stalkers RPG Main Action and Team Status [SEASON 5]

[Neo Emolga]

So where to next now that you slept the whole night?

Ahaha... whoops!

I was thinking I'd interview 4. Crez the Whimsicott. I'm a grass type so I think that'll help in the good will department.

Oh and since I'm a fairy type that should help even more right?

....

Oh right I have to stay behind. Okay well have fun.

I'll stab anyone that gets too close to the base!!! Ehehehe!!

(At this rate they'll think you're a Stalker)

Interview Rapport: POSITIVE
+1 Shared Type

You head south toward the Exacta Military Compound, knowing that’s where you’re going to find Crez. Only thing is, from what you’ve heard from the others, getting into the compound itself is very tricky business and they don’t give everyone the grand tour of the place.

Thankfully, the dusty wind isn’t as much of a nuisance today as it was yesterday when you were searching the Shaymin Café. As you walk on all fours toward the compound, it definitely feels nicer with less dust and dirt getting all over your grassy back and stuffed in your Gracidea flowers.

When you get to the compound, you quickly find they were telling the truth. Aurorawatch keeps a close guard on the facility and only authorized Pokémon can enter, meaning the only chance you have at catching Crez is if and when he leaves the building. With a gruff and heavily armored Nidoking and a battle-seasoned Beartic standing guard at the front entrance, you figure a Shaymin asking politely is not going to be very effective today.

It takes some waiting around, but eventually you find your opportunity as the Whimsicott leaves the base for his turn at guard duty. You come to greet him and you find the very cotton puffy Pokémon actually has a very happy-go-lucky demeanor to him, which seems unusual for an Aurorawatch Paladin. You introduce yourself to him and he smiles when he sees you.

“Hey there, Noble!” he smiles to you. “Nice to meet ya! What’s happenin’?”

You explain you’re working with a team of Pokémon that are trying to get to the bottom of finding out what’s going on with the Stalkers and how to put an end to them. You then ask if he’s figured out anything from his side.

“Oh man, ya’ll doin’ us a big favor, Noble!” Crez sighed with happy relief. “Ya have no idea! Ya see, as much as us dudes and gals would like to get to the bottom of that, our hands are too full tryin’ to keep defense goin’ for the refuge. And yeah, if work gets at all light, which is crazy rare, focus is spent on tryin’ to secure the Northern Reach to get at that power plant. I can’t remember the last time I was bored!”

“See, nice thing about Commander Axken is he really appreciates volunteer efforts,” Crez informs you. “Heck, I do, too! We need more of that! I tell ya what, if ya want, I could sit down and train ya or any of ya volunteer buddies a thing or two about persuasion and gettin’ others to cooperate when ya need ‘em. If a civilian has a skill or proficiency we need that no one on the team has, hey, it’s not shameful to ask them to help. I can tell ya how to convince ‘em ya really need it and it helps ‘em as well. In the meantime, ya offer ‘em ya protection and it’s a win-win for ya both!”

4. Crez the Whimsicott has been recognized as a teacher of Escort!

You make a note of that, figuring Crez’s experience in civilian task management and leadership charisma might be very beneficial to look into…

“Hey, ya know, there’s another somethin’ I could use some help with,” Crez smiles a bit bashfully. “It would mean like everythin’ to Aurorawatch… no, all of Exacta City if we can pull this off! If ya’ll willin’ and able… we need some radio equipment. We have decent short-range radios we use all the time for patrol reports and ghoul or chimera sightin’. But that’s it. We need long-range communications! For the past three years, heck, we haven’t been able to contact a soul outside this city and anythin’ that we had that could reach outside the city either got busted or can’t get enough power now! They might be thinkin’ we’ve all become ghouls or we’re all just plain dead! But if we can set up communications, we can radio for help, supplies, and maybe even evacuate some of the children and elderly to a safer town.”

“I’m thinkin’ the Exacta Broadcastin’ Company Offices might just have somethin’ that can do that!” Crez tells you with a bit of excitement. “I mean, I’d go, but I’m needed here and I’ve already been filed for way too many special assignments. Like I said, helpers are golden around here!”

“But if you can check the place out and if we can hook up a workin’ communications system,” Crez’s eyes went bright and wide, “whoa, I’d definitely reward you handsomely for that! Hey, I’m talkin’ a good chunk of my team resource budget and some pretty decent Aurorawatch equipment.”

SIDE MISSION STARTED: Hello? Anyone Out there!?

Spoiler:

Crez needs someone to investigate the Exacta Broadcasting Company Offices for any equipment or devices that might help Aurorawatch establish long-range communications with nearby towns to request help.

Rewards:
$3000 Sochas$, evenly split among all players.
[|AW| Aurorawatch Combat Vulcan] (Adds 1d10 +5 damage to successful attack rolls)
[|DF| Aurorawatch Versatility Armor] (Reduces incoming Health Damage by 4 points each time Health damage is taken)

“Well, I gotta go,” Crez smiles and shrugs. “Noble, it’s been a pleasure to meet ya, and let me know if ya feelin’ up for that trainin’! It’s totally cool, we support our volunteer efforts! Catch ya later!”

He then heads off to his post after waving you goodbye. You feel you got a lot of good insight and a possible opportunity even though he didn’t know too much about the Stalkers specifically.

You decide to head back and make your preparations for tonight.
