Stalkers RPG Main Action and Team Status [SEASON 4]

I need to speak with 12. Mittlee the Mimikyu. As a fellow Mimikyu, I think the interview would go great.

But we're going to proceed with caution, just in case whatever Arrow said Mittlee found is dangerous.

Mittlee is fairly easy to find during the day, thanks to your companion previously having spoken with Irston. The two fairy types work together at Fabulous Furnishings, which you pay a visit to early afternoon.

Irston does a double-take as you walk in, but once he confirms that you are, in fact, a customer, he is eager to greet you. He introduces himself and you ask to speak with Mittlee. He gives you pause then nods, spinning around and running a few metres through the furniture store.

“Mittlee! You never told me you had family!” he shouts, and you hear a quiet response followed by scuttling.

Soon the mimikyu pokes her head out from between some bed frames and begins shuffling toward you. The first thing you notice is the half-missing ear of her pikachu costume, fashioned much like your own but more of a dull green. “Hi...” she begins, voice quiet but eyes very obviously taken by your appearance. “I...I don’t have family. Irston knows that...”

You explain who you are and why you have come to speak with Mittlee, and she watches as you talk, almost entranced with your every movement. When you stop talking, she stares for a little longer before snapping herself out of it.

“O-oh, oh, okay, sure. Um, sorry...it’s just that I’ve never... You’re the first mimikyu to visit Salvage Keep...besides me.” She is clearly unsure how to feel, but tries to shelve her thoughts as she continues. “Well, I’m Mittlee...and I work here. Not much that’s interesting happens around here but those Stalkers are a big problem. I—I found this strange thing the other day,” she starts, reaching with one of her extending shadow hands into the pack she carries and pulls out a strange-looking plastic toy which looks to have melted under intense heat. “I think it’s a cleffa. I don’t know who it belongs to but when I touch it, it just gives me the chills. Please take it if you think it will help.”

[Melted Toy Cleffa] was added to the Team Inventory.

“D-do you know the cluster of broken houses just south of the crater? Well...please be careful if you go there. All the houses there are scary and evil, especially the rotting cottage. That one is flooded by shadow spirits. I've seen it!" she whispers loudly, fear in her voice. "I mean...not all the houses are bad because I live in the small one, and, well, it’s the only one that makes me feel safe. Whenever I'm there, I feel happy and peaceful, like an angel herself is watching over me there. It’s...hard to explain.” She thinks for a second before continuing. “I think Juparl could use some peace right now. She's very tense...and acting strange. I went to go and study at the Scholar's Guild and she just ignored me, and wouldn't stop muttering...”

The mimikyu turns slightly as Irston calls out to her, reminding her about the family discount they offer. She shouts back meek confirmation then looks at you again.

“I...I really should be going now. But just so you know, if you want to learn some extra skills for your investigation, well, I’ve been very specially trained in private eye practices! Please tell one of your friends if any of you ever want to come and learn how I do it.”

Mittlee has been discovered as a teacher for Investigate.

SKILL UNLOCKED: INVESTIGATE!

Spoiler:

INVESTIGATE - 1 Day Cycle & 1 Night Cycle (ANY CYCLE)
This action provides a highly advanced amount of intel on what a civilian does on a day to day basis as you watch and record everything they do while hidden from scrutiny. Using Investigate will allow you to fully learn where that pokémon lives, where they work, their personality traits, their likes, dislikes, friends, profession, what their hobby is, and if they have any items of interest within their possession.

As a result of the time needed to conduct this level of work, using this ability will take two consecutive Cycles to complete. It can be started on the day cycle and carry on to the night cycle, or started on the night cycle and carry through to the day cycle. Because this means you will be tailing your target almost all day and all night, you will be required to make a stealth check (a percentage roll) to see if you remain hidden. You will need to exceed 50% or above to remain hidden, and your dodge rate is taken as your stealth rate. These checks are made automatically and do not require user input, and will be made once at the end of each Investigate. If you pass the stealth check and remain hidden for the entire investigative process, your target does not spot you and you will return back to base with all the information you were after. If you fail the stealth roll, you will still get the information you learned, but the pokémon you are tailing notices you and either confronts you or flees, based on their personality. This may result in a -1 to your rapport score with that pokémon. This negative effect does not affect any other Emissary's rapport with this pokémon.

LUCKY STRIKE: It's possible to get a "Lucky Strike" with Investigate. This will happen when you use Investigate on a pokémon and it just so happens that they're either the Stalker who makes an attack during the Night Cycle, OR they just so happen to be the victim during that particular Night Cycle. If you manage to pass your stealth check and you happen to be following either the attacking Stalker or the victim, you will witness the murder and will be 100% sure of the attacking Stalker's identity. If you fail the stealth check, the pokémon will notice you before they attack or are attacked, and you will not know if they are a Stalker or a Stalker's victim.

How to use:
Investigate takes 1 day action (the second day action) and 1 night action to perform. Simply state, "Investigate #27, Dalex the Bulbasaur." You won't get the outcome results until AFTER the second Cycle has passed, however. You're also free to abort the Investigation early if you feel the need to take a different action during what would have been the second Cycle, but you will only get limited information on them, such as just learning their workplace.

"Also, I know that Delta and Vye both have a special skill, too. Maybe you could meet with one of them to learn it." She nods. "Anyway, thanks for meeting with me." Mittlee extends a stretched, long, black hand to you, and you do the same. She gives you a high-five, then retracts her hand and scurries off into the store.
