Amidst the chaos caused by Team Neo Rocket Galactic's attack in
mas Deep City, it appears that the Super ancient watertight
legendary Pokémon Kyogre has been agitated and awoken from a
15 year slumber, once again threatening to drown all of
Hoenn if left unchecked. With the party separated at
greater physical distances than ever before, how will the Quacko
Paco save Hoenn? Or perhaps even the world.
The mission to utilize the ZAP Plate to bring forth the aspect
of lightning was a success. Thanks to the efforts of Cindy
and Gimli, Cindy was able to deliver the ZAP Plate from the
Atlas Stone to Canto Champion Red.
Red's Pikachu took to the sky as a mighty deity of Thunder, with
Lightning Bolt suspending him in the stormy sky as if he could
walk on air. The electrifying currents
blasting from his cheeks in his new, more monstrous form
shattered the rampaging Kyogre's defenses despite their
overwhelming disparity in size, allowing Schmidt to Mewtwo and
Quacko to nearly remove the burgled splash plates influence
from Kyogre. Additionally, thanks to the help
of Caroline's Pidgeot, Jenna Elodie has returned from the
Moon to reunite with all of the Paco besides Gimli, the three of
them in combat with Kyogre in the eye of a growing hurricane
above underwater Moss. Deep City Cindy had recently
taken a powerful origin pulse from Kyogre, knocking her off of
the back of Fame, the Salaments. Cindy is now being hoisted from
the water, her consciousness restored by Elodie's healing
powers taught by the Dragon, with solely on the back of fame
zooming the scoop Cindy out of the water.
Cindy's nefarious parents River and Beckett are somewhere in the
scene of the battle, and Archie is dangling from 1 of Kyogre's
mountainous teeth within underwater Moss Deep Gimli has
focused his attention on ensuring the success of the
protective psychic bubble with the help of Lasagna the Hawenian
Crustle and seeking out NRG fugitives per the recommendation
of Delaney and Brandon. The police from Duford joined by
a wild coughing who seems to be reveling in the powerful fumes
left behind by the jet fuel. Gimli stumbled upon a morose
Uranus claiming to have abandoned his post as an energy
admin right before the launch of the shuttle due to the abduction
of his beloved Basque Legion on behalf of the mysterious Artemis
Protocol. Where we left off, an initiative
order starts us with Schmidt floating above and behind Kyogre
using MU 2's telekinetic powers. The influence of the Aspect of
Lightning seems to be leaving Kyogre vulnerable and exhausted.
What will you do? We're just going to smack the
plate thing. OK same thing as before.
Is it going to be a combo MU 2 plus quacko going at it?
Yep, just to pick 1-2 punch. OK.
Roll like a side strike from U2 and roll any mailing move of
your choice from Quacko. If Quacko is going to get right
up next to it, give him advantage please.
OK, advantage. He did not need it.
OK. You 2 got a dirty 23 to hit and
Quacko got. I'm going to say it's a leaf
blade. OK.
Quacko got a dirty 29 to hit. Fantastic roll, I will need some
damage. If you don't mind just roll me
straight. Straight damage?
Is Quacko A crit T crit? I need to look up he.
Crits on 18 right 18 or 1717. He crits on 17 because of the
enhanced leak and leak. Yeah, well it was also since its
advantage anyways, it would crit automatically anyways.
Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, OK.
I had to make sure that it wasn't just back attack, that it
was all advantage. Yes that is correct.
In that case just roll quackos damage.
I don't really need mutus 78, OK?
My math is mapping, yeah. With the combined powers of MU 2
barraging the location of the plate on Kyogre's tail with
psychic energy, you can see these like pink purple beads
manifest and just hammer into location of the plate.
Like denting around Kyogre's body and then Quacko just
slashing at it with his leak. After enough strikes it actually
dislodges with a stroke of the leak from Quacko, it flips off
of Kyogre's tail and begins to spiral and spin and it begins to
fall off of Kyogre's body. I will ask for dexterity checks
from Quacko and Mew 2 and possibly Schmidt.
This is ADC 21 Dexterity to catch this.
OK, I said. One for Schmidt, too.
Yeah, as well. Quacko misses it OK Mew 2 still
misses it OK, but Schmidt got a 19 on the die OK, and there's a
+ 3 to decks so. Let's fucking go.
A flavor question for you as you dive for the plate.
You're being telekinetically suspended.
Would did Schmidt give an instruction to MEW 2, or did MEW
2 into it? Or did Schmidt break the link to
freefall to grab the plate? This has no real impact on
anything, just for flavor. I think Schmidt would just like
break the link and just dive at it.
That's pretty fucking sick. Yeah, MU 2 and Quacko and
Schmidt successfully remove the splash plate from being embedded
in Kyogre's body. And a couple of things happen
all at once, which is witnessed by Cindy LED Schmidt as well as
potentially in the bubble. You may notice some of these
effects as well, these rain clouds that have formed over
Moss Deep City. Rather than raining
torrentially, they just deposit all of their water at once and
there's a huge torrent of just like thousands of gallons of
water just falling from the sky all around this battlefield.
The location of Schmidt, Elodie, Cindy, and your Pokémon are not
going to be in the splash because you're kind of like in
the eye of the storm, but it's going to create these like
monstrous waves as it all just kind of plummets down into the
sea. As the water from the clouds
splashes into the sea, it also the sea level begins to just
very quickly, like within a matter of seconds begins to
recede. And in about 30 or so seconds,
it's likely that it will just be about a foot or two above normal
sea level rather than this like 50 feet.
I will ask while Schmidt is falling with the plate.
Me too, can probably grab them. I'll do a dex check later.
I want Cindy and Elodie to both make perceptions.
You got it. We're canonically so good at
this. That's why there's two of you
doing it. Yo an actual good role.
I have to do maths. Perception 9.
That's a dirty 20. OK, perfect.
I was going to say, I'm looking for 14 Elodie.
As all this like kind of chaos happens.
You just brought Cindy out of the water and gave her HP.
And then like you see Schmidt falling with the plate, you
notice out of the corner of your eye, right?
Like as Cindy is like fully coming to as her consciousness
is being restored, the amulet that she wears on her neck seems
to have a dissipating glow to it.
In a fraction of a second it just disappears, but you noticed
it was glowing for a moment. All that being said, not a lot
of time to think about it or discuss it because all this
water is coming down and Kyogre also begins to just glow in a
blue light and it shrinks. I don't want to say shrinks, but
Kyogre becomes smaller to the point of where it is the size of
a regular whale and it seems to fit the depictions that Cindy in
particular would be familiar with of Kyogre.
It is still raining, it is in fact drizzling, there's still
some lightning claps, especially around Pikachu who is still
activated, and lightning bolts are constantly like making
contact with his body. But you are face to face with a
regular looking Kyogre, and admittedly, it looks a little
pooped, a little tired. And it is it's it has a
appearance to its face. With your high perception check,
you would know that there's a bit of confusion to it.
We're going to temporarily kind of break initiative as
everyone's going to be looking around in awe of this.
Kyogre and I will ask, is there anything that you do?
I think it's Cindy's turn to catch a legendary.
What? Yo.
Is it looking that pooped? It's looking like, well, rolling
inside. 16. It is looking like it would
rather be sleeping. That is the vibe that you get.
These super ancient Pokémon tend to have a trend of sleeping for
a long time and then being active for a little bit.
You remember as a Hoennian that this Kyogre was active like 15
years ago. It was really active and it took
a lot of effort to get it to stop.
It seems like it didn't fully get its beauty sleep after that
event and so it's looking just like ready to retire.
I have two ultra balls, a premier ball, A4 tree ball.
I have a Sheninja. You guys think of an ultra ball?
Do something. Try it.
A shot bucket we ball. Can I throw an ultra ball at it?
You sure can. Before your throw, I'm going to
need you to make a contested Dexterity check not for the
throw, but for a different initiative is.
Archie trying to catch it also. Oh.
What is it? Is it Dexterity?
Yes, Dexterity. Yo. 18 OK.
Which is like really, really good for Cindy.
Like let me be clear, I have plus one index.
River and Beckett also threw out 2 ultra balls.
One of them got a three, one of them got a 17.
So. Yo gasp yo.
Cindy's Ultra Ball will connect with Kyogre first, and now I'm
going to have you make the Pokeball roll.
This is just a straight D20 and add your Pokémon handling
please. +6 That's a 16. The it's.
Not going. To be enough.
The Ultra Ball encapsulates Kyogre and for a moment like the
the stormy clouds reside but the rain subsides.
The Ultra ball splashes into the water and it floats gently.
The little red light lights up on it once and then it shakes
and lights up twice and then the ball bursts open and Kyogre
emerges. The other two Ultra balls are
now going to roll to catch Kyogre.
The first one gets a 12 that is lower than your roll.
It will capture Kyogre and then we won't even shake.
It'll re emerge. Both times that Kyogre has
emerged from this pokey ball, it looks a little more and more
like it isn't willing to put up with this activity.
Beckett's pokey ball. Beckett's ultra ball will come
out and Beckett rolls a 19 on the die, which exceeds the 23.
Catch DC. The Ultra Ball will splash into
the water, it'll wiggle three times, and the light will glow
dim. And Beckett has Katherine Kyler.
No, I'm scared. I'm so scared.
This is the worst outcome. They're just going to fight her.
Parents. Yeah, it's time to fight.
They're back into initiative. There are some sounds of Glee
coming from River and Beckett as Archie, just after the first
pokey ball. He'd be in a free fall.
And now he lands on, hopefully, Tentacruel going to roll real
quick. Don't want to interrupt too much
narration. Yeah, Tentacruel catches him.
He bounces a bit. Archie looks exhausted.
And River and Beckett are just on their whiskash and melodic
and they're embracing each other and they're so happy and they
are giving each other passionate kisses and they seem oblivious
to the fact that there's a group of trainers who are upset with
them. Get a fucking room.
EW, how dare you? It is worth noting that the sea
level, as you are all relatively close to the sea or you're
flying above it, is falling pretty rapidly and in about 30
seconds it will return to where it was before.
The storm clouds are giving way, except for two which are holding
up Pikachu. You may make new initiative
roles, but before we deal with Cindy's parents, I do want to
check in with Gimli and Yuri so you can make a plan of action
while we while we do the check in.
If you wish. Gimli, you have to catch up a
little bit with the time that's happening.
So for right now, most deep is still fully underwater.
Do you remember the last thing that you said to Yuri?
It's fine if you didn't. The last thing that Gimli said
to Uranus was maybe there's a chance we could get your fish
back. Uranus locked eyes with Gimli
with a glint of hope and he asks.
Well, what do you have in mind? Well, I think if we can stop
this whole event from occurring, we can release the ghost Pokémon
from the sacrifice, quote UN quote, and then we could get
your vascular legion back. They're still like, I mean,
they're ghosts, right? So I guess they're like kind of
ethereal in a way that I would think a ghost poke will come.
It's a shot, you know? Yuri contemplates what you said,
and he's going to make a check of his own about what he knows
about the operation. He says.
Oh, stopping energy? No, it's too late.
They've already started. They're going to accomplish what
they've set out to do, but getting back vasculation could
still be possible. I don't know enough about the
process. Do you know about it?
You seem pretty knowledgeable. Do you know what the Artemis
Protocol is all about? I mean, I, I heard something
about the moon and I know you guys were collecting ghosts.
I'm no detective, but you put two and two together.
Yuri Will, he's been talking to you like on his back, looking at
you upside down and he he'll finally just himself and he's on
these like pointy craggy rocks. And he's like as he adjusts and
and tries to stands up and and he brushes dirt off himself and
he meets you more like eye to eye.
He's a little bit taller than you and he's but he's on a
downhill slope, so you're mostly at eye level.
He says well yeah, more or less so we can get into the details
of it later, but many ghost types were needed in order to
satisfy Team Galactics original ambition.
Yadda yadda yadda, bring back Cyrus, yadda yadda, you know,
create a new perfect universe that at the end of the day was
Energies goal. Whether or not going to achieve
exactly that, well, we'll have to wait and see.
I can give you more details, but as far as saving the fish, I
think you're right. I think we might have a chance,
but you're going to need my help and I want that fish.
Sounds fair to me. We both have something we need
out of it, so. Yuri will give a nod and he's
going to say, well, we have a lot of work to do and energy is
already starting. He's going to extend a slender
hand over to you. Will you shake it?
Our mad shake. OK, give him a little squeeze.
You can roll for strength on that strength their decks. 12.
OK, he also got a 12, so it's a pretty fucking good handshake.
That's awesome. Even handshake.
The kind of authority and power from this handshake between
former enemies, which may be current allies.
Question mark seems to excite coughing and he goes and he
exudes a bunch of gas. Please make a constitution safe.
22. OK, Yuri this time got it too.
Also kind of things just stick but very poor.
After shaking Gimli's hand, he inhaled some of the gas and
starts hacking and retching and releases from the handshake and
is just puts his hands on his knees and he is kind of just
coughing up a storm into the rocks.
He is trying to say words but they're not coming out.
During all this commotion, you notice while you were talking
with Yuri, the sea level outside the bubble begins to slowly
decline and you notice like the telecom bubble that surrounds
Masih City is also starting to lose integrity.
Once again it's beginning to flash but also seems like the
sea level is starting to go down.
So with this information, will you make any sort of plan or do
anything with this or what are your thoughts?
I think we got to go and head back so.
Do you invite, do you invite Yuri to come with you or do you
tell him to wait? No.
I'll invite him to come along. I think it's very needed.
OK, Gimli, Uranus and Coughing will begin making their way over
back to the gym to hopefully relieve Tate, Liza, and Lasagna
from needing to maintain this bubble as hopefully the
situation is resolving. Speaking of situation resolving,
Elodie, Cindy, and Schmidt, Cindy's parents, awoke angered
and then captured the Super ancient legendary Pokémon
Kyogre. What are you going to do about
it? Fucking throw hands.
OK. We can maintain the same
initiative order. That would make sense because
Schmidt and Gimli just went and they're pretty interchangeable.
So I guess I'll ask First things first, Ellie, what will you do?
Yeah, I can bring Cindy over to Fang so that she can go and
fight her parents and deposit her with Fang.
And then I guess, I don't know, maybe I'll go check on Archie.
He seems like he got pretty beat up from that fight.
Sure. OK, so Fane was already on his
way to Cindy, so it's going to take no time for Jenna and Fane
to link up, and it will cost you basically nothing for Cindy to
rejoin Alpha Soli on Fane's back.
You will notice that the presence of Alpha Soli's heat
energy is a lot more pronounced now that the rain has quieted
down. So, so much LED.
Now that you are with Jenna, you're going to go to over to
Archie. Yeah.
OK, he's kind of floating on his back on Montana Cruel's kind of
Jelly head, and he's breathing heavy and he's kind of panting
and gasping and he's murmuring to himself.
You can roll the perception to hear what he's saying before you
arrive if you wish. Natural 20.
Perfect. He is lamenting River and
Beckett. He says, I should have known
those bastards. They would come up and ruin my
day again. I can't believe they'd show so
disrespect us to capture Chiogra after what they did to it.
And then you arrive. He says, oh, Ality, you're a
sight for sore eyes. How are you doing?
And it's funny how his candor is so natural and calm despite the
fact he's like really beat up and he's on his back.
He's not moving, but he's like, oh, good to see you.
Are you are you doing OK? Can I can I get you some help?
Archie says. You know, I can't move my arms
or my legs, but I feel great. I've never been more alive and
I'm ready to kick ass of the damn river.
And Beckett. OK, Yeah.
Well, I think Cindy is already going to go do that, but we can
maybe we can. You know, if she needs some
support, we can. We can go over there and help
her. Archie says damn right, we're
going to go over there and help her.
I got to teach those two a lesson.
And he like wiggles his fingers and his toes, but he is not
moving his body. Okay I will see.
Would I be able to transfer some HP to him?
Sure. How much do you have left?
I have 46 left, OK? I don't.
I don't want to give him all of it.
Just want to heal him up a little bit.
I'll give him 15. Sure, you may deduct that from
your HP total and it will restore his.
Which is great because he was sitting at 3.
So now he has 18 HP and he kind of slowly begins to sit up.
And he says, you're full of surprises, Elodie.
I don't know how you did that, but I feel way better now.
Time to kick some ass. And he goes to step up and he
slips and he falls on his belly on Tentacruel.
And he will admit that perhaps he's not quite ready yet.
Maybe he needs to rest after all that fish wrestling A.
Good idea. Elodie, anything else you would
like to do? You technically have another
action if you would like to do something with one of your
Pokémon or make a check of some sort.
Are Schmidt and Quacko like in the water?
I know that at this point they would still probably be in the
sky. Schmidt would be falling, and
then it's kind of up to Schmidt if MU two would telekinetically
grab him before he hits the water or where exactly they are.
But they were. They're not in the water yet,
no. Gotcha.
OK. I had sent out bubble gum to
kind of go towards them if I could have her swim towards them
and then maybe do like try and do a sparkling Aria to help heal
them. Heal.
I was hearing River and Beckett who you wanted to heal.
I was like, no, you said it right.
It was just my brain was doing it wrong.
Sure. Yeah.
Use that. I don't know if we've used that
effect yet. Have we healed with sparkling
Aria? I don't think so.
OK, yeah, it's probably time. Bubble gum.
The Pre Marina, this beautiful, elegant Siren Seal Pokémon can
certainly swim over to where Quacko MU 2 and Schmidt are
suspended in the air as the sea level rapidly recedes, and can
sing a beautiful song up into the sky that will actually have
a healing effect on Schmidt and his Pokémon.
You are welcome to roll that. Cool.
Whatever healing is done is halved for Schmidt.
Yes. So that's 17 total.
So that's halved to 8 for Schmidt, and then Quacko get 17.
Yeah, and MU 2 as well if MU 2 did take damage, right?
Yeah, he took some damage. He he yeah, MU 2 too.
The HP pool is so high it was not that significant.
Yeah, I can imagine. But I don't want Cracko to die.
Or or Schmidt. Sure, sure.
OK. Yeah, it was what, 1716?
Yeah, 17 and then OK, 8 for Schmidt.
Gotcha. Perfect.
Any other flavor or bonus actions or anything for ality?
No, we're chilling. OK, at the end of we're
stretching the six seconds by quite a lot because of the
length of the conversation with Archie.
But at the end of this period of time that lasts one round of
initiative, you can see that with the rapidly receding water,
the bubble around Moss Seep is becoming more visible.
You can see like the top of the, I don't know what to call it.
I almost said garage, the part of the Space Center that like
holds the shuttle before it launches.
What do you the tower? I don't know what you call that.
That is starting to be visible through the semi transparent
pink Dome and you can kind of see the rest of the city below.
The sea level is quickly receding, the rain is calming
and there's no lightning besides the lightning up from the 2
clouds that are holding Pikachu up in the sky.
Cindy, your parents captured Kyogre.
How dare they? What are you doing?
So Cindy goes Super Saiyan. OK.
No. Screaming and the hair.
And that's like the aura that she would give off as she's like
barreling towards them on Fang, just screaming, probably
incoherently. Approaching them at a high as
high a velocity is like Fang can muster.
Sure. Do they, do they see me?
They notice me. You can roll a free
investigation. Invest.
Oh, I am investigative. Investigative in in Yeah Yeah
17. 17 is high enough to know they notice no one but each
other. They are snogging, they are,
their mouths are intertwined and they are running their hands
through each other's hair, and they are passionately kissing
and embracing each other. It's a little awkward because
one of them is on the back of Wiscash and they're the ones on
the back of Melodic. And the two Pokémon, the
watertight Pokémon are doing their best to kind of like keep
the position right? So they can embrace each other,
but they do not see you whatsoever.
How close am I able to get to them?
It's interesting because with how fast the sea is receding and
they are like on top of it and you are flying, you're kind of
going at a diagonal, which I'm going to suggest like increases
your speed. I think that you can pretty
easily get to them within we'll say 30 feet of movement.
I think Fain's fly speed is like 40 or something.
I think so, yeah. You can get into melee range of
them no problem. Fabulous.
I don't want to get quite to melee range, but like close
enough and I'm going to have solely to use a flamethrower.
Okay, perfect. Just generally targeting all
four of them. Yeah, okay, you may.
Well, they're going to make saves.
Apologies. So solely's in alpha form.
Aspects of flames? Yes.
Aspect. The hot aspect.
Both are correct, I just wanted to elaborate.
Yeah, so she has +5 to decks. Currently it's ADC 17 deck save.
Is that increased by the aspect? Yeah, so.
Like is the DC increased? Yeah, so 17 right now is the
current DC. So we'll just.
Say we'll just say it's 23. OK.
It's going to be really. Hard to save.
Yeah, sure is. I don't think anyone besides
Beckett can even possibly not fail it, so we'll see how much
they fail by. OK, Wiscash gets A7, Melodic
gets a 13, River gets a 12, Beckett gets a 7.
They all fail by a lot. You are welcome to roll damage.
So if they failed by 5 or more, they're burned.
So they're all burned. They're all very badly burned as
an incredibly powerful fire type Pokémon just lets loose on them.
However, they're still quite wet and still quite damp, so it
won't like kill them necessarily, but the water.
Non non lethal fire damage. I mean, we'll see how much.
We'll see how much you deal. Actually, the water Pokémon
resist, and your parents are humans, so everything is
effectively resisted. But I have double damage and
double dice. Actually I have in my notes.
You also proc weakness policy so.
Yes. Oh God, you might just kill your
parents. Unless you don't want to.
Let's. See, let's see how the damage
goes and. They need to die.
This is so funny. You'll feel Ellen inherit.
They're Pokémon. Yeah, that's crazy.
OK, Yeah. I mean, this is Alpha Soli.
It's she's fucked up. She's the first aspect that you
guys like. So I have advantage.
So they would have gotten to. I mean, they all failed by more
than enough anyway. Let's.
See if any of them like get crit yeah, so not a crit, not a crit,
not a crit, not a crit. None of them get a natural one
on their save. So yeah, you can roll, roll
resisted damage, but it's going to be a lot because we're
doubling. Doubling that is multipliers.
OK, it's resisted, but you're going to have four times the
dice and four times the modifier.
So you're going to keep the quadruple modifier, whatever
that is. And then just for my knowledge,
how much dice is flame thrown normally?
What? Is the 3D10. 3D ten.
OK, And then what's the bonus? What's the damage bonus?
+9 but that's I don't know if it changes due to being aspect.
Form it will be, it'll be. Does weakness policy influence
the damage bonus? I forget.
Weakness policy UPS the dice 1D. Oh, it doesn't double.
No, it makes it need twelves instead of D 10s.
OK, well, you still could. Kill.
So it's 66D12. We'll start there.
Yes. So it's 43 right now, Plus is it
still +9 or is it higher because she's in?
It'll be 36. Added is your damage bonus.
Oh, OK. Is that with it doubled?
Yes. OK, OK, so we got a double.
I rolled 43, so 43 doubled. 86. OK, 86 + 36.
So you said? Yeah, Yeah, that's your damage
bonus, yeah. OK, 122, yes, so it's resisted,
so it's haft. Yeah, we can do that instead of
saying it's. Right, that's usually how
resisted works. So divided by 261. 61 A lot of
math for a still pretty big number considering the
resistances. And now they're no longer
resisted because Solis cracked. Yeah, solely has a passive where
once a creature takes fire damage, it is no longer
resistant to fire damage. Yeah, incredible.
So on the back of a dragon, Alpha Soul Leader unleashes a
gout of flame that impacts with River and Beckett as they are in
a loving embrace. And while Wiscash and Melodic
are doing their best to keep them supported, but also with
the sea level falling, they are feeling very clumsy.
It is making things very difficult for them. 61 damage
impacts and River, Cindy's mother is knocked unconscious
immediately. Whiskash takes an incredible
amount of damage. Beckett gets all singed up, and
Melodic seems to actually be doing kind of OK.
Beckett holds River in shock as if like, how could this happen?
We were just having the greatest moment of our life, how did you
get all burnt? And then Beckett turns his head
and sees none other than his daughter on the back of a dragon
with a magically enhanced 9 tailed fox just erupting all
over them and they are experiencing some despair.
Beckett will begin to reach for the Ultra ball that he captured
Kyogre in, and if he is not stopped, in one more action he
will send out Kyogre. Cindy, what do you do?
So you said I would have had enough movement to get into
melee range? Yes, if you want your jet plane
plane fame that you used to bomb the Russians to not only carry
your flamethrower solely, but also collide and the potentially
attack at the end of that turn, you're welcome to do so.
I was either going to like get close enough to like smack him
just like little smack smack or just take the ball out of his
hand. OK, so those would be two
different things. You'd be either rolling an
attack or you'd be asking Fang to make a slight of hand, which
would not be easy. I don't know if the big big
dragon mouth and or hands are going to be great at that, but
it is a good idea to do whatever you do on your.
Hand based on Dexterity. It's Dex, right?
Yeah, Fang has got +5 to Dex. OK, if you wish to roll that,
I'm going to look for a 15 to take the ball.
Any lesson you might bat it away and less than that you will not
remove the ultra ball. I don't.
Think it's worth a try? OK, because adding it away still
does the goal, still let's we can recover that later.
Potentially, yeah. Yeah, I don't.
Lose it to the ocean. Roll your DC-15 Sleight of Hand
check. That's a net one, Chief.
Oh no, yeah, same. Wait, wait, wait, aren't you?
Proficient. Yeah.
Hold Cindy has a passive that I can re roll any Nat one once per
long rest. What is that passive called?
I don't know because I didn't write down a name for it.
OK. Yeah, I think.
Cindy is a chaotic gremlin child and does stupid shit.
I think that was obtained around the Draconid arc, so and it
hasn't been used at all. I don't think so.
Now's a great time to do it. 1313, not the 15.
It's not 15. For the record, this passive is
called Yeet Energy and it is essentially like Lucky.
It's like the Lucky feat and it was given in March of 2023 and
it just hasn't been used yet. So that's pretty funny.
Using Yeats energy, Cindy encourages Fang to try again,
perhaps with his jaws or with like his tail or something, to
get the ball that was so egregiously missed.
Fang does so and with a flick of his mighty tail, launches the
Ultra Ball out of Beckett's hand before he's able to send out
Kyogre. It goes flying about 25 feet to
the north, and he looks at Cindy with rage as she zooms by on
Fane's back. Fane's trajectory was not in
this direction, so it's going to be a kind of a race to get to
the ball. Anything else on Cindy's turn?
Is flipping the bird a free action?
Yeah, it is. So as she's zooming past, just
double middle fingers. Perfect roll Charisma on that
with advantage because you knocked out your mom.
Oh good, because my first role was in that one Charisma 17. 17
That's pretty great. This whole time, Beckett isn't
quite sure. Like, is this my daughter?
Because as we and Cindy and the listeners know, Cindy's parents
are not very affectionate or loving.
But after seeing the double bird being flipped from Cindy,
Beckett knows without a shadow of a doubt that this is his
daughter who has come to seek some sort of revenge and or stop
his perfect date with Cindy's mom.
Speaking of double bird, Schmidt, you are falling towards
the sea. If you wish, you can have you to
stop you from hitting the sea, or you can splash if you want
and you are holding your hands. Something that is all too
familiar. It is a plate.
This is the splash plate that seems to be enhanced with water.
When it was embedded in Kyogre's tail, it seemed to have a like a
arcane swirling energy about it. And right now it seems quite
mundane. Seems kind of like a blue rock.
What will you do? How far away am I from the River
and Beckett drama? Just to keep things fun, we'll
just say about 30 feet. About 30 feet.
Actually that's pretty accurate because they were right under
Kyogre, so that is pretty much perfect.
I have kind of a complicated maneuver, and I might not have
the action economy for it. Can I just explain what I want
to do, please? Then we decide roles later.
Yeah. OK.
So I want to send out Gabriel. I want Quacko to fly Gabriel
over. To which one's standing with the
Kyogre Ball River? Beckett's River is knocked out.
Beckett Yeah, and then I want Gabriel to use Thief.
To steal the Kyogre ball. The Kyogre ball has been
launched from Beckett's hand and it is now.
It's going to start sinking pretty soon.
It is mid air and close to the water.
OK, well actually then I will have MU 2 telekinetically going
to the ball and just let Schmidt crash into the ocean.
OK, I was going to say, if he tried to do that while
maintaining all the telekinesis, he may struggle a little bit
more. But if that is just what you
want to do, then sure. Me too can drop the link and
Schmidt will go spiraling down into the sea.
He already fell a little bit and he was suspended by telekinetic
energy. So on impact, I'm going to ask
him to roll 2D6 bludgeoning damage as he impacts into the
waves from about 20 feet up. I'm alive.
That's what matters, bitches. How much speed do you have?
Six. Wow.
Yeah, pretty good, Schmidt. You will notice as you get
smacked, like you fall into the sea and like despite it being
water, it feels almost like stone hurts your body quite a
bit. You notice that as you think
that while you are holding the plate, there is like a bubble of
air around you and you are kind of suspended in an aquatic
bubble in the sea. It is quite interesting.
That being said, MU 2 is going to go and try and
telekinetically grab this ball. He is a legendary Pokémon much
like Kyogre. He's very good at these kinds of
things. You can choose either decks or
intelligence to to get this ball.
I'm only asking for ADC 15 decks or intelligence.
I bet intelligence is probably higher.
Intelligence is definitely higher.
It was a dirty 21. That is more than enough.
MU 2 will outstretch A3 fingered hand and just clasp the Ultra
Ball before it sinks into the sea with psychic energy.
It glows in a pink light and it is suspended in the air, and as
it's floating there you can see the sea descending below it as
the sea level continues to decline.
I'm assuming Quacko can just kind of fly because he doesn't
need the telekinetic link to be suspended, correct?
So yeah, MU 2 successfully grabs it.
It's not in his possession, but it is at least not in the sea
yet. You have one more action.
We're chilling. Can we just have a beat to yoink
the the ball like out of that immediate area?
Sure. Like bring it back to me too.
Yeah. Did you want to do it with a
teleport or just by dragging it through the sky?
Just dragging it through the sky.
OK, cool, yeah, it'll go into me to sand.
It looks a little uncanny as his three fingered hand holds an
ultra ball. It's a little mysterious
looking. It's almost as if Mewtwo
themself is a trainer. Quite curious, any other flavor
or things you want to say on your turn?
Nope, we're chilling, OK? River makes a death save, fails,
It's a 7. Red and Charizard are going to
collect Pikachu. Red actually recalls Pikachu
here and two of if you were able to see it from how high up he
is, it's like a very dusty, well loved, kind of damaged and
dented up classic Pokeball recalls Pikachu and the storm
clouds go away completely. The rain is actually fully
stopped and the clouds themselves are partying and
morning sun is starting to come through.
Gives you the impression that it might be around 6:00 AM seven AM
Red will begin to fly down towards LED on Charizard's back.
Archie is going to make a paralysis save.
He's still paralyzed, his muscles aren't working the way
that they should. And then Beckett's will be
outraged. He will say no, I had it, it was
so close. And he will grab River and throw
her onto Melodic as the sea continues to decline.
And he will have Melodic use Hydro Pump on MU 2.
Please have me to make ADC 17 dexterity save.
I passed. OK.
It was a dirty 20. OK, still we'll be taking half
damage on a succeed save. Unless it was an actual 20.
This attack from Melodic will deal 21 damage.
Not a whole lot. 21 points of water type damage on to MU 2 and
MU 2 will not be pushed back by any sort of repellent force.
You 2 takes it quite handily and a psychic little like shield
even operates slightly after the move connects, preventing most
of the damage. And Beckett will be swimming on
Melodic with river draped over the back.
She's getting like water in her mouth and stuff.
She's she's having a tough time and Whiskash is slowly coming up
behind. But Whiskash took a lot of
damage from solely earlier. Very good.
The sea level, it's almost back to normal.
And I'm kind of curious how this plays out.
Gimli, are you OK with just being skipped for one round?
Because Yep, OK, you're making your way with Uri and coughing
over to the Pokémon Center, and it's taking about this much
time. As you're walking, you can look
outside the bubble and you can see that the sea level is
restoring itself. It's returning to normal.
You also see the sunrise coming through in the east.
Seems like your allies have done a great job quelling the threat.
And to your knowledge, like maybe the Pako Kyogre or maybe
Kyogre descended back into the sea.
You don't know. You don't know what's going on.
You just know that crisis averted.
Back to the top of the order LED.
What are you doing? Good question.
Red is making his way over to me.
Yes, we can. Just we can just say that Red
arrives and he does not speak. Espion is not out, but he holds
out a hand and he is holding these ZAP plates and he expects
you to take it. OK, yeah.
I'll be like, oh, oh, thank you. Yeah, we should.
We should get these safe, shouldn't we?
Red gives you a nod and makes eye contact, and then he taps
Charizard's neck and Charizard blasts over towards ma steep
City like, faster than Jenna even.
Just in the blink of an eye, an incredibly powerful Charizard
Red is gone. You have the plate.
What will you do with your turn? Oh my goodness.
Well, seems like the situation with Cindy's parents is going
interestingly. Do they seem like, I mean, I
think you guys have the situation handled.
I will try to help Archie get back to Moss Deep.
OK, cool. What is your method of doing so?
I guess I could have bubble gum come back over and maybe try and
help his Ted to cruel swim him back over.
Sure, just kind of provide support.
Yeah. Yeah, that we can call that a
help action as opposed. That's fine.
Granted, you want that to be one of your actions.
Yes. OK.
Yeah, Premarina can absolutely do that.
We'll, we'll swim up, look at Archie with a concerning gaze
and kind of push 10 accrual and encourage 10 accrual to bring
Archie to safety. I would also like to give Cindy
a Elodie's Party Time D8 for whatever she's going to do next.
For crimes. Yeah, for her crimes.
For patricide. Yeah, exactly.
Everybody needs. We already did.
Patricide. Oh baby.
No. Perfect.
Yeah, please enjoy that you have any flavour for what that looks
or sounds or it even smells like.
Good question. I believe I have cabbage out.
Sure, why not? What is Cindy's favorite scent?
I know she she likes the berries.
Maybe you waft a Berry scent over to her and be like, get
them Cindy. That's awesome.
Yeah. Cindy, Elody does this.
And you feel kind of inspired. You're hit not only with, like,
the nostalgia of the Berry farm itself, but also the nostalgia
of who you Revere as your true parents, Goji and Asai, your
grandparents who raised you on the Berry farm.
That is, until you became a vagrant and just kind of did
whatever you wanted. But they treated with you with a
lot of love and respect, unlike your parents.
And that fills you with determination.
Elody, anything else for you? That'll be it for me, OK.
Jenna is hovering nearby, her feathers all kind of wet.
She sees what you're up to and that you're sitting on
Tentacrill as well, right? Yeah, I'll hop off.
Okay, yeah, Jenna will kind of give a little COO and look at
you. Do you say anything to Jenna?
Are you wanting to return back to your home?
Jenna gazes over towards the southwest with kind of like a
awning concerned look. Yeah, that's that's probably for
the best. Thank you so much for your help.
I I really appreciate it. I wouldn't have gotten here
nearly as quickly with my Pokémon.
Jenna gives you a very kind of comforting and acknowledging
look, understanding what you said and let's out a brilliant
and takes off to the sky. Not quite at Mach 4, but you
know, maybe Mach .75 making good time but not straining herself
too much and she goes up in the sky and heads back towards
presumably little root town. Any other flavor for your
turnality? No, I think that'll be it.
OK Cindy, you witness MU 2 safely grasp the Ultra Ball that
contains Kyogre. You also saw your father have
Melodic unleash a Hydro Pump on a mew to feeling not a whole lot
of damage. He is definitely in like
somewhat of a fit of rage. River is knocked out, she's not
doing well. Whiskash also seems to be kind
of struggling, but Melodic seems to be doing fine.
What will you do? I I want to hit him with another
attack, so I want to hit everybody but not my mom because
she's already down, if that makes sense.
I mean the best I can do is terms and conditions.
Yeah, if you want to. She is your mother.
She's not like a like she sucks, but you can in your mind flavor
hers. Maybe not an enemy and you.
Could she is no longer Yeah. Right.
She's not like a threat, so if you want the terms and
conditions to prevent her from taking damage specifically, you
are welcome to do so. OK, can I pop off another solely
flamethrower? Absolutely, you're more than
welcome to with the intent to hit all four hostels minus
server. Yeah.
So the three remaining. OK, yeah, they will roll with
disadvantage. Whiskash gets a 12.
That's actually pretty good. Not enough, but pretty good.
Beckett gets a nine. Melodic gets a natural one.
Melodic will get crit. Additionally, none of these Mons
can resist fire anymore so re rolled that flow of damage.
Did they take burn damage on their turn?
Oh, great reminder. They were all burned.
Yeah, I can do that right now. They will all take their
proficiencies worth of burn damage.
Very good. I just wanted to make sure
because that could at this point could affect where we're at.
I have a feeling based on their lost resistance that it won't.
I'm, I, I think I will still treat Beckett as like the human
resistance to damage from Pokémon isn't like a type.
It's just kind of how the world works in my head.
Oh yeah. No, no, I wasn't expecting that
to change. Got it.
It was. More so for the Pokémon.
Yeah, Melodic and Wiscash will take full damage, so roll that
full flamethrower with Melodic. And crit.
Oh shit, a crit is a full all the dice.
Yeah. So that's 6012, that's. 60. 12,
yeah, OK, quick maths. I'm not that quick.
I have to use a calculator That's so that's 72 base on
melodic. That's crazy.
OK. So we got 32 * 2, right?
Because everything's doubled. 32 * 2 is 64.
Plus you said 36 was my bonus. That's multiplied already.
Yeah. So that's 100 straight 100
damage. Oh man, for the one that didn't
get. Crit for whisk cash.
And then 50 for Beckett. Yes.
And then for the crit with Melodic, that's 100 plus. 72.
So 100. And 72 damage, is that the
highest damage roll 170? Two it might be, but I don't
remember what iron valence was, but that is a lot.
I don't think it was that high. I think that's the highest it's.
Really close to 200. That's fairly significant.
Melodic almost outright dies by 5HP, so that is something to
consider. Beckett and Wish Cash never sit
a chance. They essentially go up in
flames. A majority of Beckett's clothing
gets singed off entirely. Melodic flops on its back as
does Wish Cash and River, and Beckett's River actually manages
to float. Beckett begins to slowly sink.
Can I don't know if I can make it work with like the action
economy, but is there any way I can like, I don't know how good
salomons is at swimming, but just kind of like get to the
like water's edge, try to get them so that way they're like
not sinking. Sure.
I would suggest that as a dragon.
Dragons are kind of attuned to all sorts of kind of elements.
Buoyant even even just float. Like Salomons has a couple
things going for him. One, his body type kind of in
the long tail that could serve as a rudder suggests like OK
swim ability. And I think the stronger point
for Salomons is that he's mostly blue.
So if you combine those two factors, I think you'd be a
pretty decent swimmer. So you're welcome to roll
strength with advantage to see if you can kind of like scoop up
these guys and bring them to safety somewhere.
Strength is +4, Dirty 20. OK, fantastic.
That will be enough for fame. I'm assuming you're kind of like
looking for him to just gently descend into the water and maybe
use his wings to kind of like push the folks not drowning, OK?
Just kind of like stabilize them.
Make sure that they don't just straight up die.
Yeah, well, I don't like them. I don't want to actually kill
them. I just want to get them, like
get them out of the water. I don't think I have the action
economy to find their pokey balls and return their Pokémon.
But if I did that, that would either be what I'm going to do,
what I would do, or what I'll do next turn.
OK. Like I'm not moving yet.
I'm just like getting them out of the water so they're not
sinking, not drowning. We're just chilling.
Speaking of action economy, there are no hostels and for the
first time in maybe like 6 sessions, we are out of
initiative. Wowzers.
Please describe the things that you would like to do in whatever
order that you'd like to do them so.
Schmidt started this initiative drunk.
Yeah, he's going to throw up. Yeah, Hell yeah.
OK. Roll roll for throw up.
Yeah, actually roll for throw up, OK.
I'm. Rolling it's I got an 8 on AD
20. OK, yeah, Schmidt like it all.
Well, you're underwater still, right?
I'm in a bubble. Oh God, It's like down in a
bubble, Doug. It's the.
Sequel to the. It's it's the vomit bubble that
sucks, dude. Yeah, shit's nasty.
You're not, like, super actively swimming or sinking.
You're like, you know, a foot or three under the water floating
in this bubble. But yeah, it all, it all hit
Schmidt at once. Like, holy shit, that was like,
a lot to deal with. And his stomach can't handle it.
And reasonably, like anyone might, he vomits a bit.
You said you got an 8. Yeah.
OK. Not quite low enough to lose
consciousness, so that's a good thing.
Cindy's going to find like pill like rifle through her parents
pockets and try to find the pokeballs to the Pokémon that
are fainted. OK.
Yeah, Role investigation please. 12 That's with my inspiration
and with my provisions. Sure.
Yeah, with the 12 you are able to find.
Are you searching River or Beckett or both?
The the goal is both to go through both of them and return
both their Pokémon. OK.
You will find Wish Cash's pokey ball.
You recognize it vaguely. You may have remembered this
wish Cash as like a small baby slash toddler when it was a bar
boach. And you find the pokey ball and
you return it and it's probably a good decision that you did.
So. You do not find a lot of spokey
ball, however you do find like a wet Polaroid photograph.
Do you take a look at it? Yeah.
It is a family photo from around the time you were born and you
are being held in Rivers arms, but someone has very
intentionally just kind of cut you out.
So I'm going to kill them now. So it's just kind of actually
going to kill them. Oh.
My goodness, that's like really not cool because like I have a
picture of just the two of them from their old locker from the
magma place. It's it's quite a lovely photo.
It's by the river that's pretty close to the Berry farm and
there's just a bunch of cool looking water type Pokémon in
the background and they seem to be very fond of it.
They're wearing nice clothes, but Beckett is wearing the Aqua
bandana in the photo and clearly you would have fit there, but
it's just been snipped. Speaking of wanting to kill
them, here's a question. Do you wish to stabilize river?
Because if not, she needs to make another death save.
I'm just so I am not good at medicine and I would hate to
fail that check and Otto give her a death death.
OK, so great right? That's how that works.
If you like, do poorly. Yeah, we haven't come up on it
quite a lot, but I would just treat it like I would just treat
it as if you were rolling her death safe basically with your
medicine skill. So either you can let her roll
it, or you can roll it. How?
Where does feeding unconscious
people go? I think we've tried this before.
You can you can give it a whirl. It will require a different kind
of check. You're going to be kind of like
forcing something into their mouth, and if it goes wrong you
could end up asphyxiating. OK which berries?
Heal people or heal? I know it won't do as much
healing as it would a Pokémon. Yeah, so.
Like. I have a citrus.
I have two citrus berries. Yeah, around four years ago we
tried this, I think on a person and it did not work.
I'm not saying it won't work, but it's depending on your
method. It may be difficult to get
healing for a human, but you're welcome to give it a try.
I just think that's the only thing I got because I don't
think potions work on people. OK, Yeah, you are welcome.
I will need you to describe before I ask you to roll.
I want to know how exactly you're feeding this like you
proper. Job.
Just shove it into the throat, squish like the juices out of it
into her mouth to make it easier to go down.
Sure. And then like try and feed it to
her as she's like maybe getting something out of the juices sure
does that. What is What is your medicine?
Plus one. That's why it's a little spicy.
Perfect. The juicing method is kind of
what I was going for, for a lower DC.
So you can roll a basically, you're pretty much no, you're
looking to stabilize. Yeah, roll ADC 10.
We'll keep it straightforward. Medicine.
Check to see if you can stabilize, prevent.
Medicine. 16 River is not in danger of dying, but she
probably does need some medical attention.
Also, for what it's worth, your father's also knocked out as
well, but he hasn't rolled his safe yet.
He'll be fine for now. I will pan a little bit because
the party's still split. Gimli, you are walking over to
the gym with Yuri and coughing. And as you're strolling over
from the opposite side of town, all the way from the Space
Center, you see that the sea level has finally returned to
normal and the sun is rising and the bubble is kind of starting
to flicker and fade. And you also notice a whole
bunch of people, some of the refugees from Duford, some of
the people who just live here, all those people who are on the
Taurus and all the kids on the field trip and stuff, they all
emerge. And while they don't necessarily
recognize Yuri, a lot of them are looking directly at you.
And some of them are like smiling.
There's a kid who like jumps and raises a fist.
And a a few older people, some adults are applauding and they
say, thank you, you saved us. Find your friends.
We want to thank them. Thank you, Sir.
And they are very, they're feeling very indebted to your
efforts. Well, I mean, just like brush of
embarrassment, not doesn't want this much attention, but also
like kind of just like waves and continues walking and.
Like. Sure, give me a charisma just
for fun, yeah? That was pretty good 21.
OK, yeah. As you wave a group of school
trip children from the ages of like 12 to 15, they all start to
cheer and hoot and holler and they go, yeah, that's our guy.
And you can hear in their shout some of them actually know your
name. Some of them are like Gimli.
Gimli. Yeah.
And they're all really excited and they look exhausted but also
very, very relieved. Gimli additionally, also with
the the telekine Dome kind of beginning to fade, you can see
predominantly the fiery hot tail of red Charizard.
He's kind of hovering on Charizard right outside the the
bubble and perhaps waiting for something that's kind of hard to
tell exactly what he's doing. As you're walking to the gym,
Gimli and TMF also rendezvous. You can see Archie and Steven
wave at you from inside the gym and they are expecting you to
come in and discuss with them. Are you going to do that?
Yes. OK, cool.
You enter the gym and you see Crustle lasagna, the Hoennian
Cressel just kind of looking no different than he usually does.
But his gem is going crazy, so that suggests that maybe he's
busy concentrating on something. And Tate and Eliza, just
drenched in sweat, meditating, holding hands in a chamber that,
like, links, like, all the psychic energy together.
And they are like, about ready to pass out.
What do you do? Gagging.
What's the What's the update going on here?
You asked this to Maxi and Steven.
Yeah, like are they, are they doing all right?
They'll move together. Steven says it looks like
they're quite exhausted. But unless you know better than
I do, I I think the crisis is over.
I think we can snap them out of it.
Yeah, I agree. I think we can.
We can get them off the Dome. Maxi Maxi says while in
meditation and while they are so weak mentally, they may be prone
to mental damage. I would recommend that you
instruct your Crustle to give the command that they can
release their meditation. Yeah, that sounds perfect.
All right, what do you do to suggest or tell Cressel that
they can give it a rest? Well, I won't have Cressel tell
them. I'll just open up Cressel's
mouth and yeah, tell them. Guys, I think we're safe.
You guys can start to calm down now.
I love that message. I think we're safe.
I think we're good. Yeah.
Have Cressel roll ADC 8 Intelligence please.
Oh yeah, I got a nine. OK, that is still a success.
Yeah. Upon that, upon giving me kind
of opening Kressel's mouth and shouting into it as he as he
shouts into the mouth, Maxi and Steven can see that like the gem
on Kressel's back reverberates like with the sound form of the
sounds like Emily's making. And then there's a deep sigh
from Tate and Liza, and they just kind of collapse and fall
asleep. It doesn't seem like they're
necessarily hurt or in danger, but they just really, really
need to rest. Additionally, Lasagna kind of
just slouches. All of his legs just kind of
split out and his claws flop and his expression doesn't change.
But that's because his his expression never changes.
After these three psychics release their energy, the bubble
fully dissipates and Moss Deep is exposed to a gust of fresh
air. You can even feel it inside the
jib. It feels so delightful and
rejuvenating and something that you didn't realize that you were
missing out on. In fact, the coughing falling
behind you seems a little disappointed.
I know we said we're done with initiative and I will truly let
you all free, but I want to know if Gimli wants to say or do
anything in this moment while he still has the privacy of his
solo mission. I think I'll get a debrief the
gang on Yuri here so it's not super weird.
Sure. Yeah.
It seems like they haven't even questioned it.
Do you want to RP it or you just kind of want to summarize it?
I just want to summarize. It Sure, Yeah.
You let them know what's going on.
Yuri used to be an admin. He lost his fish.
Now he wants revenge, yada yada yada.
I will roll a Christmas for Yuri.
It's not going to impact too much.
Oh, he gets a 19? That's fantastic.
Yeah, everyone believes we kind of trust him and they, even
Maxi, will like, give an acknowledgement.
Like, I'm sorry that you lost your partner Pokémon.
That really sucks. And Yuri is now hanging out with
the Allies. Speaking about the rest of the
group, Fang is ushering River and Beckett and their Pokémon.
I guess wish cast has returned, but melodic over to the shore,
the northern shore of Musteep City, as is pre Marina and
Tentacruel with Elodie and Cabbage and Archie.
And I guess my first question, I know we're not initiative, but I
have a question I need resolved. What is Schmidt doing in the in
the Puke bubble? Can Schmidt like UN UN bubble
himself and like wash himself off in the ocean?
Yeah, you get the feeling that like if you stuck your finger
through the bubble, it would pop.
OK, I'd do that. OK, the moment you do that, just
like some serious pressure but not like enough to hurt you just
lets the water in to fill in all the space around you.
The vomit gets washed away and you are thoroughly soaked, but
you are clean besides salt water.
Awesome. I'm going to return me to OK.
He was holding the pokey balls. So what do you think?
He's going to take the pokey ball.
OK. He's going to send out Diana
himself, the Gyarados. A Mutu is going to send out
Diana. No, no, no, Schmidt is.
OK, OK, OK. Just give all my Pokémon to.
Mutu, Yeah, Mutu is the player now, Yeah, OK.
And we're just going to ride Gyarados, we're going to pick up
Cindy and whoever else we need to, and we're just going to swim
our way back to the shore. Excellent.
Does Schmidt or Cindy or Elodie have any flavor of things they
want to do before they arrive back on land in Moss Deep City?
Schmidt is going to give the Coyote or Pokeball to Cindy, OK?
It's like, I think this is yours.
Yeah, I'll take it. Very good, you can add it to
your inventory. Kyogre ultra ball.
Is LED with us or is LED LED made it to shore already right?
LED was moving a little bit faster than Fang was with
Archie. But we can say that you all
arrive together, or you can say something to her, or do whatever
you like. OK, I think we've got a lot of
motherfucking plates we need to VCR in this one rock.
Yeah, I was gonna. Say, yeah, we can.
We can do that. Even if we're over the ocean, we
we're able to probably do that. Yeah, I'm not going to enforce
any checks on you for this. This is just something that you
can do. This costs actions, but we're
out of initiative, so it's fine. You will return the ZAP plate as
well as the newly obtained Splash plate and perhaps the
Flame Plate as well. Yeah, I'll return solely and put
the flame plate in there as well.
OK, might be a funny question, but are there any other plates
that we want to VCR now? Which plates the BBC have any
others? The Aqua plate.
And the flame plate. And the ZAP plate.
I also. Have the fairy plate.
Oh, LED possesses the Pixie plate.
This may be a new site for Cindy and Schmidt, but you're welcome
to VCR that as well. Cindy's gonna say nothing about
it and just be like, yes, of course you got another plate
like. Yeah, I got this from the moon.
So casual weird question, not not like super question.
I say in my notes. I have a water necklace I think
CJ told me. Is is it a mystical Mystic
water? Mystic water, that is correct,
yeah. OK cool, I've just been sitting
on this water necklace. Can I give it to Kyogre one day?
Sure, I think. I don't know if that wasn't
anything for him, but. Yeah, I it's, it's the same idea
as like the other as charcoal. It gives the same boost but for
water, so OK, yeah, you're welcome to do that.
Neat, that's not a right now thing.
I just wanted to make sure that it's actually a thing and not
just like some cool necklace. No, yeah, it it has a use if you
wish. Can I ask Archie if there's
anything he wants to do to my parents while they're like,
unconscious slash pseudo unconscious?
Archie let's. He thinks about it, and then he
shakes his head. He says it won't be a fair
fight. As much as I despise them, I
couldn't let that happen. Let's wait till they're
recovered and then I'll show them what these fists want to
say. And he tries to hold up his
fists, but he's still feeling kind of paralyzed.
So instead his elbow just kind of go up and his hands are limp.
He flails them around and he looks a little embarrassed, but
he he will give them a piece of his mind once they are returned
to health. Neat.
So I was not able to return melodic.
We would say we could say in due time that you could eventually
find the ball it it was in there.
OK, so. It just took me longer to do it.
Yes, it would take some time out of initiative just because you
didn't find it right away. But yeah, you can return
melodic. They are all in stable
condition. Well, we didn't roll for
Beckett, but we have LED, LED. Just give me a quick D20.
Just tell me what's on the D20. You got it, one.
OK, I'm going to ask you. You will need to sacrifice one
of your HP if you want to stabilize Beckett.
I guess. OK, you rolled 1 so.
Yeah. That's the price that you pay.
Yeah, Becca can can be stabilized.
You have enough control over this arcane process that you
like. He doesn't need to be brought
back to consciousness, he just is not in danger of dying.
Very good. OK, finally, for realsies this
time. I'm.
I really want to let you loose for the last part of the session
and do what you need to do. Cindy, Eledine, and Schmidt.
As you return to shore and eventually meet up with Gimli,
you will be approached by the strange sight of Uranus just
hanging out and people like generally vibing with him.
Seems like he's a pretty charismatic guy.
What do you say? I just start approaching him
like fists ready to go. Emily, this twink needs
obliteration. Schmidt, do you have anything to
say about this? Schmidt's still going to be like
on edge, be like, if this guy does anything, we got to fucking
go. But no.
Absolutely. He's holding, he could watch it,
but he gives us a good insight into what's going on.
Yeah, he's refraining from taking action ATM.
Can Cindy attempt to intimidate him, saying I knocked out my own
parents? I will do way worse to you.
Absolutely, absolutely. Please roll that for sure.
Cut my granny off if she don't see it how I see it. 14.
OK, yeah. He holds up his palms in like a
non offensive gesture. He's like, listen, I get it,
it's all right. I'm not out to get you.
I I believe you. He isn't like terrified, but he
understands that you mean business.
I also assume that my unconscious parents are with us
so he can actually see them unconscious.
Sure, yeah, he vaguely recognizes them, but since he
was a leader in his former position and they were simply
grunts, he doesn't know them by name or anything.
He just believes that they could have been NRG members for sure.
As the Packo reunite on the northern shore of Mas Deep City,
the crowd that it was gathering around to celebrate the saving
of the day has become full-sized.
All of the people who entered this town prior to the cataclysm
are present, including Delaney, Brandon Calvin's mom, all the
people who are refugees from Duford who are here, all the
people on vacation. All the local residents,
including Tate and Liza emerging from the gym, gather around and
cheer and applaud and even throw flowers at the Quacko Paco.
They let out an applause that lasts for easily 3045 seconds,
up to a minute even. How does the Packo handle this?
I imagine cabbage is also out and we're just, like, waving to
the people, like, thank you. Thank you.
It was nothing. Princess wave.
Yeah, the Princess Wave. Perfect.
Are we still all in swimwear? Yes, you are.
I'm a fan of an astronaut costume.
Just a casual day. Yeah, it is focused on bed.
On what? On bed.
Interesting. Schmidt's feeling exhausted.
Yeah, for sure. For sure, Schmidt.
Quick perception. Oh great, love it.
I want a 13. Well, you're going to get a
natural one. OK, Schmidt's exhausted, man.
He doesn't see anything. He's he, he, he can feel like
the attention from the crowd and maybe it feels good, but he's,
he's a tired guy. He's been through a lot.
In fact, all of you starting to feel pretty tired.
But there may be business to attend to.
All of your allies, Gimli, TMF, Maxi, Steven, they all kind of
personally thank you. Maybe there's some handshakes
going on, some hugs, and then eventually it quiets down a bit.
People decide it's time to rest. They've been up all night and
you're standing in a five piece with Gimli, Schmidt, LE, Cindy
and Yuri. What's going on?
Could I have handed off my parents to Delaney?
Sure. And Brendan to be like, they're
criminals. They they're the ones who summon
Kyogre. They also need medical
attention, but like the police kind.
Yeah, they acknowledge this and they say we know exactly what to
do. Ella, do you see Brandon for the
first time in a while? He looks like shy and ashamed
and embarrassed and doesn't want to make eye contact.
Do you say anything about this? Oh gosh, I will address both him
and Delaney and say thank you guys so much for your help with
everything that's been going on. Delaney will not and say don't
mention it. We're all on a team here, just
looking out for each other. Brandon gives you a little
smile, but he doesn't say anything.
OK, I won't push it. There's a lot going on.
I will not push it. Perfect.
Excellent. Anyone else?
Make out in the face of a crisis.
Hey man, I've seen too much making out.
Today, so Yuri will take the opportunity to reintroduce
himself. He says.
Listen, I know we got off into a bad foot that time that I ambush
you outside of the Berry farm. Listen, a lot has changed.
I lost my vascular lesion. Gimli and I had a chat and it
seems like we could be of use to each other, me getting my fish
back and you all perhaps saving the world.
Question mark. I think whatever you're planning
to do, you're going to need my help.
So let's get down to business whenever you're ready.
If you need to go to sleep first, that is fine, I could use
an app too. Or if you want to get down
discuss some details. I'm ready when you are.
Respectfully, we would like to take some time to lick our
wounds. Diary accepts this and he says
OK, very well, I don't blame you whatsoever, just come find me
when you're ready. And it seems that you, if it is
the order of business for the Taco to rest, take at least a
six hour nap. They would certainly have free
admittance to any hotel and even maybe even people's homes.
Like they are so enthralled with you that they're willing to put
you up if needed. I.
Think we still. Have our hotel room.
We got it for a couple. Days you do, and there's a line
in Butler as well, so you can always return to that.
Before we go, I want to like ask him about my grandparents.
Like what do you know about where my grandparents are?
Very good. They were taken by energy.
Yuri will say, well it kind of depends on if they were a high
priority captive or not. Could you give me a description?
I will describe them. Yuri will roll.
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. They're they're old, they kind
of look like you because they're your grandparents, etcetera,
etcetera. He will roll history, he will
say, Oh yes, those two. I am not certain the exact
reasons they were abducted has something to do with that farm
that you're from and them being in possession of an artifact.
Could have been a plate. I didn't get that much details.
I know that they are being kept on the Renegade, the NRG
mothership in one of the highest security prisons, but I can tell
you that they're alive. They did have a plate.
We have it now. Yuri will not be surprised at
this statement. He knows that it was kind of an
arms race between NRG and the Quacko Packo to collect as many
places they could. And he looks at you kind of
solemnly, like he wishes that he wasn't part of that.
But also at the same time he was part of it and he is partially
responsible for why you don't have them.
So he kind of wants to apologize, but there's nothing
to say because he's part of the problem.
To avoid confronting that reality, he'll ask if anyone
else wants any immediate information about loved ones or
other people that might be in NRG possession.
Do. You guys have my wife.
You're just going to make a role not just for history.
Yes. So two different roles did well
in history. But he also, after you ask about
your wife, he looks at you and he says, Oh my goodness, you're
you're a Sinoan miner, right? Right, He says.
I know a lot more about this one.
Your wife, Gemma's her name, right?
Yeah. So she was kind of central to NR
GS plan, not just for the knowledge that she has for
working for the association that you worked for in cinema.
What was it called? The Orgeberg Mining Association.
Is that correct? That's right.
Yuri says. I can get the details later, but
more or less NRG needs to use this specific type of space.
And by that I mean a location that is particularly synergistic
with the plot that they're trying to unfold.
One of those places is Mount Coronet and clearly Energy did
not have easy access to that. So we I, I hate saying we, but I
was responsible, so I'm going to take responsibility.
Part of Energy's plot, while I was a member, was using her
knowledge to identify a different synergistic location
in which we found one and it's ever Grand City.
And that is where this procedure, this plot will unfold
and NRG is hoping to achieve their final ambition.
So she's safe. Yuri will slow down.
He'll say yes, Yeah. She's also in the high security
prison. She's very well taken care of,
actually, perhaps more than any of the other prisoners because
NRG relies on her information so much.
OK, well, that's a relief. Yuri again, kind of is dodging
the like. He wants to apologize, but it
makes no sense for him to do so because it's his fault.
So it is confirmed that the Packer wants to return to the
seaside resort that they were in before.
OK, they return to the hotel as they do that immediately as they
open the front doors, the front double doors, there is the
floating elevator bronze on and it is holding with its psychic
powers for different platforms that have like these lush,
lavish like decorated super soft comfy chairs on each of them
that it's levitating with his mind.
And it seems to drop them to the ground and ask that all four of
you sit in one of these chairs. Do you do so?
Yes. Yeah.
OK as you will sit in these chairs of bronze on will use its
telekinetic abilities to lift you gently and carefully through
the elevator shaft as like a private elevator delivery and
then brings you into a room at the very top of the building.
A fancier one than you were in before gives a complete
sprawling view of the entirety of Moss Deep city.
Out the windows you can see Shoal cave all broken up, the
roof blown off in the distance, and if you look way off to the
South you can even see this strange mountainous looking
white crater out in the middle of the sea.
The view is spectacular. There are 4 full lavish beds and
there is not one but two lining butlers in this room and there's
plants and flowers and there's like a whole buffet laid out on
a big table. And this is clearly the fanciest
treatment that anyone has gotten in MAS Deep City for a long
time. What is your order of business?
Big sleepies. Big sleepies.
From Cindy, What else? Maybe some food?
Yeah, I'd like a. Sandwich Big sleepies as well.
Yeah, I was thinking food when we wake up.
Yeah. Yeah. 430 made it.
All right, go to Wing Yeast. Does everyone want a sandwich?
I'm just going to start eating, OK.
I don't even care what's on the table, I'm just eating it.
OK, The lining butlers made it. I'm eating it.
Yeah, the lining butlers have really cute tiny little gloves
on, and they start preparing ingredients and like putting
them on plates really quickly. They're really excellent at it.
But Cindy just goes in and starts grabbing, shoveling
sandwich ingredients into her mouth, and eventually everyone
gets a sandwich on their preferred type of bread, their
preferred type of meat or protein in general, vegetables.
It's all perfectly laid out. It is so satisfying and
refreshing, and it only makes you even sleepier.
There are four beds. One is with red sheets, one is
with blue sheets, one is with pink sheets, and one is with
brown sheets. Which ones do you pick?
Wait. What were the colors?
Pink, blue, red and brown. I think red and brown are, Yeah,
I think it's all obvious. Yeah, it kind of all lines up.
Yeah, Blue. I'll take the brown sheets.
Yeah. OK.
Red bed. Red bed.
Pink Time red. Bed Redemption.
Red Bed Redemption OK and. Then doesn't this equal where
I'd kill my parents again? No.
And then confirming Ellie and Schmidt's pink and blue and blue
government assigned gender beds. Let's.
Go. I was.
I was just. Curious.
I was curious if you guys were going to deviate on that at all,
but no, that's fantastic. At about 6:00 in the morning, in
a much more quiet, safe, calmer Mas Deep City, the Quacko Paco
settles down for a decent nap, if not like a many 8/10/12 hour
rest, for they know that what awaits them is going to be
serious planning and coordinating for their final
attempt at stopping Team Neo Rocket Galactic.
That is where we will end today's session.
