Just months ago, a group of four once unfamiliar Pokémon trainers
banded together for safety and companionship, trapped in the
lockdown Hoen region trying to return to their families.
Now they face down a violent creature from another world who
threatens their chances of ever going home again.
Schmidt, Elodie, Gimley, and Cindy are the Quacko Paco, and
this is Dunsparce and Grandpa. The Quacko Paco have never faced
a greater threat. After a grueling encounter with
the brainwashed Pokémon of the Draconid Elders, Gimley and his
newly evolved partner, Pokémon Trevor the Gigolith, forced the
ruthlessly destructive Mythical Pokémon Deoxys into a difficult
tactical situation. As a last resort, Deoxys severed
its own legs and assumed to the form of a floating, twisted
Eldritch esque Tentacled Abomination, firing arcane beams
in reaction to any hostile creature that attacks it.
After a successful intelligence check, Deoxys identified Schmidt
as having a unique attribute that qualified him as the
primary target, which Deoxys successfully rendered
unconscious. With most of the visiting
Trainers fled, the battlefield now consists of Cindy and
Schmidt knocked out on the ground, Elodie and Gimli
injured, the Draconet Elders and their Pokémon unresponsive
except for Toma Tomas Altaria, who was unfazed by a powerful
psychic attack. The only remaining Trainers
fighting with the Quacko Paco are the mysterious Scarlet and
her Absal, Scarlet having taken an injury to her leg and unable
to flee, and Zavo, the foreign traveler alongside his Zatu
whose lives were saved from a spidery fate the day before by
the Quacko Paco, Gimli, Elody, and two unfamiliar trainers are
all who stands in the way of an impossibly terrifying and
monstrous form of Deoxys seemingly hell bent on
destruction. Let's check in with each party
member before Elody takes her turn, because she is up next.
This is what I have. Let's compare.
Schmidt and Quacko are down. Jessica should still be up.
That's my notes. Is that what you have?
Jessica went for the helping hand before Quacko got knocked
out, and that wasn't an aggressive action, so Deoxys did
not react to it. So I think Jessica's floating
around. Yeah, she's still probably
floating around. OK, so she can.
Yeah, both Jessica. No, no, no.
Yeah, both Patricia and Meryl cheaper also out.
Yes, they are in poker balls. Great.
So Jessica's your last month, that is up, right?
How's she? Because you have 4?
Because that's what you're. Oh, well, Quacko.
Right. Yeah.
Yeah, you probably is. Still good, Walter.
Correct. OK.
For Cindy, Cindy's knocked out on the ground.
Fane is knocked out on the ground and solely is knocked out
on the ground. That is correct.
Right. Yes.
OK. Elodie has grape juice and
cabbage and everyone is up. Cabbage is down.
That's a good note to change.
OK, so just grape juice is up and who else do you have on your
belt, so to speak? Key Lime and bubble gum and
aubergine is in the bag. OK, got it.
But only grape juice is in combat, correct?
Yes. OK, Gimli has Trevor and Bean
and everyone's up. Bean has like 1 HP right?
Bean is recalled, Lasagna's out. Lasagna.
That's right. There was a switch.
OK, the Draconid elders are partially covered by a wall
built by grape juice, so that is something to think about.
If there is some sort of spread attack, they have partial cover.
And we also want to note that by where the elders are are there's
a portal that leads to like the bottom left part of the
battlefield where Schmidt and Quacko are lying unconscious.
That portal is still active. Is there any points of the
battlefield that you guys think I'm missing?
I think that is everything. I'll take that as that is
everything. The pile of bodies in the
corner. Yeah, the pile of bodies.
No, All of the trainers who were here, who are not the Quacko
backhoe have left, except for the two which is Scarlet and
Zavo. Their intentions for staying may
be the same, they may be different.
Who knows? So let's begin.
The axis returned to a central position.
It is facing southwards towards the majority of the Quacopaco.
The only one who is not directly South is Elodie, who is to the
West next to the Elders, who are tucked away behind a Rockwall
made by grape juice. Speaking of Elodie, it's Elodie
Stern. Hello.
Hi. Hi how you doing?
Oh, I have a bit of a plan. OK, you've been sitting on this,
haven't you? I have in fact been sitting and
I have been thinking about this OK so I hope it works.
Let's see, yeah. So I would like to action plan,
action plan yo true. I go back by action plan.
I'd like to bring out Miss Key Lime.
Key Lime hits the field. I would like to 1st talk to
Tomatomo. OK.
And ask her, like, I know a lot is going on right now and I'm
glad that you're OK, but do you think you feel well enough to
stabilize the other elders, or at least try to?
Let's have her roll. OK, she is in a terrible state.
However, she rolled a natural 16, which is a good amount.
That's pretty Dang good. Her healing as yours is based on
her health pool and she currently has seven HP that you
gave to her so she can stabilize 2 of them, which I will have her
pick randomly I think. So she's she's pretty weak.
You know, HP is kind of a a measure of how long it takes
till you're knocked out. But she's also like injured and
like you know, the, the wounds are more grievous than that.
However, she does have some healing in her.
She has the conviction. She nods and she will go to heal
two of them, which are Walker and Jenga.
Not heal necessarily, just stabilize.
They've been making death saves and now they don't have to, but
they are also unwell. Right, OK.
I just wanted to make sure they like don't die.
Yep. OK, so I for some reason don't
have it written down, but is LED's party time is a bonus
action, right? I think so.
Or is it a regular action? Let me check.
OK. What I have is just LED's party
time. So inspiration for Level 3 and
up Pokémon 1D8 and I currently have 4 out of 5 uses it says.
Of senspiration. We just changed it to LED's
party time, didn't we? Didn't we just?
Rename it, right? Yeah, right.
Yeah. Oh, you're asking if it's a
bonus action? Yes, sorry.
Awesome epic gaming moments. OK so I would like to use my
LED's party time on Key Lime. OK.
And the flavor of that will because we have our little like,
emotional telepathy situation going on, correct?
So I'm just going to like grab her little head and just instill
her with as much confidence and urgency and willpower and love,
because I love my Pokémon a lot as I possibly can.
That's beautiful. I love that.
Awesome, yeah. You do that.
Epic. OK.
Then as my sort of action, because I guess one of my
actions was sending Key Lime, I can have Key Lime do something,
right? Correct.
OK, so. I'm going to send Key Lime.
Through. The portal towards Schmidt and
Quacko. OK.
We will say that consumed 5 feet of movement.
And then what I would like to do, and I don't know if this is
possible, but kind of how we use like moves as like actions
instead of just as the move itself, I kind of, I would like
to use heel pulse to bring both of them to consciousness.
Is that allowed? Cause yeah, read me read.
Me what you have for heel pulse. OK, it says as an action choose
a target and range and administer healing to them.
Humans are healed at half potency.
This move cannot be used on the user by the user.
What's your formula for it? 5 D 6 + 3 OK.
We can spread it out. I think the penalty in my DM
brain for choosing multiple targets should be greater than
the difference of its parts, so I want to change that dice to
two. OK, you're going to round it.
Down. Understandable.
And then yes, you may do 2 targets or how many are you
trying to do? Just two.
Quacko and Schmidt. Yes.
OK. And Schmidt's healing will be
half as effective? Yes, you may.
Do that. So that would just be 1D6 for
Schmidt, correct? Question mark?
Or do you roll 1st and then take it by the end?
You might as well just roll first, right?
OK, because you're doing Quacko and quacko will get the full so.
Two and then a six, so 8 + 3. So 11 for Quacko and five for
Schmidt. We round down right.
Correct. All right, that happens.
Elodie takes a moment to consider the the situation.
She just witnessed her party member wrestle with an alien and
lose and fall unconscious, so she knows that she must do
something. She not only makes a connection
with Tomatoma and asks for her aid, which Tomatoma is has the
willpower to do so, but she also instills Key Lime.
The Curlia with a sense of determination and Curly enters
the portal and lets out a healing pulse in the direction
of Schmidt and Quacko, and they are stabilized and have some HP.
But in the good you see your turn.
Can I do just like reaction talking things real quick?
Yeah, go for it. OK awesome.
Can I have Key Lime attempt to communicate with Deoxys?
Oh that's so cool. Okay yeah that is fucking sick.
I was just not anticipating that at all.
You may what I need to know like your intention or I guess key
limes intention, Yeah. I want Key Lime to kind of probe
for deoxys intention. Okay, let it be known.
Deoxys is incredibly powerful, and it channels all of its force
through its brain. Whether or not that's in its
head is a different question, but if curlia rolls poorly, it
could be really bad for curlia. Do you accept these terms?
I accept. OK, make an intelligence check.
OK, I'm scared. Come on, High Roller.
It was a low roll so I'm using my Senspiration 14. 14 that's
total with all your bonuses and stuff.
Yes. OK, that is a OK rule.
You you want intention? Is that what you said?
Yes. OK.
Would would that be like an insight type thing?
You made an intelligence check, right?
I did. It doesn't really matter what it
is. I I guess it would be in that
category, but we're not going to add insight to that.
OK, that's fine. Well, it's tricky because, yeah,
we'll add insight. We'll add insight because that
is what you're trying to determine is an insight check.
And it just is extra hard because it's psychic.
Yeah. If you're trying to do something
else, like literally like read it's mind, I would say no
insight. But because you're trying to get
like a, you're trying to suss it out, Sure, we'll say that's
insight. So what does that change your
role to? That would just be a 15 instead.
Because that's wisdom now, right?
Oh yeah, no, that would change your role.
That would probably make it worse.
It will because my, I thought. Insight was intelligence for
some reason, yeah. Right, and my intelligence is +3
and my wisdom is +1, but I have the skill thing that my insight
is +4 I think. Yeah, if you're proficient in
it. Yes.
OK, which one do you want to do? We.
I, I don't know, I don't think you can like do insight in this
situation because you're making an intelligence connection.
Right. But we'll just keep it.
Yeah, we'll just keep it what it is.
It's fine, we'll just keep it. Last question, does is curly A
maintaining an emotional connection with LED as well?
Oh geez, let's go with. Yeah, OK.
Why not? Cool brief little one of those.
Hello. Yes.
Hello. Great.
Yeah. So Curlia takes all of the
inspiration that Elodie gave her, both literally and
figuratively, and hones in on Deoxys's evil, twisted, glowing
face, and it tries to figure out what Deoxys is trying to do.
Deoxys not speaking a human language and also Curlia not
capable of like really translating that instead just
gets images of like what Deoxys's intentions are.
And it's a lot of macabre, it's a lot of death.
It's a lot of people specifically, not necessarily
Pokémon, but individuals being slaughtered.
There's like a scene where Deoxys's tentacles form into
like a large blade and are just like slicing through people who
are trying to stop it. And it has it.
It's camera kind of turns to pan in a direction and there is a
rock. There's like a a green glowing
rock that you've seen before, you saw on top of Toma Toma's
cane. And then from above, a giant
green serpent glowing beautifully is streaking through
the sky towards the rock. And Deoxys fires a laser beam at
the rock and it explodes, and the dragon falls to the ground.
And that is the scene that you see in your head along with Key
Lime. OK.
Great. Great.
How did it go? I'm good.
OK, you're good. It's good.
Yeah. Yeah.
We're good. We're fine.
Yeah. Everything's cool.
Everything's is good. We're cool now, like.
Oh no, not that, but I'm good. Yeah.
OK, OK, cool. I believe that's it for LED.
Do you have any more flavor you want to give?
You can't really do anything significant but.
Right. I just kind of want to yell out
to the newly freshly conscious Schmidt to be careful.
You do. That.
Got it. Be careful, stupid, please.
Great. Love it.
That is it for Elodie. Quite a turn.
Gimli, it is your turn. OK, so if I remember correctly,
I, I, I want to say Deoxys was like grounded.
He wasn't just floating in the air because I threw rocks at
him. Is that is that?
The correct is what triggered him to cut off his legs.
Are you talking about a different time?
No, that after he cut off his legs, I I lowered him back to
the ground because he was floating in the air.
OK, that did happen. From the ground.
Yeah, when I dislodged him from the ground, that was earthquake
and then I rock slit. I threw rocks out of him.
And he descended knocking. That's correct.
Yes, we're going to say he's
floating, but not like super high like he was before.
Good because I need him low to the ground or closer to the
ground for my next. Moveover, he's not on the
ground, but he's. He's but like lower, yeah.
Hypothetically walked up, he could punch him in the chest.
Great. That's what I want to hear
because. Punch him in the chest.
Duo combo technique. You've been prepping 2.
What is this? The 1-2 punch.
Prepped for a while. It didn't need the Oxus.
I was just wanting to do this. OK, so lasagna with his amazing
psychic powers. If we demonstrated he painted
the house before is going to use Trevor after prepping himself
with an higher defense and a Harden, the classic, we're going
to use Trevor as a Wrecking Ball.
Hell yeah and. Swing him around and land on top
of Deoxys. Since he's close to the ground,
it should be easier to do now that he's not as high in the
air. We don't have to really lift
Trevor as far so. OK.
Yeah, we can absolutely do that. Do you have a proposed role
pattern for that? I think Carl makes intelligence
check. I think that's for sure, as I
think Trevor's got to do something.
But the question is what? What do you think is fair for
Trevor? Well, the all that we really
realistically have to do with with lasagna is pick up Trevor
above Deoxys and drop him. Trevor's gonna like kind of pull
off a belly flop, maneuver into him and like, try to land on
him. OK, so it's not like a swing
Wrecking Ball, it's like a drop Wrecking Ball.
I think a drop Wrecking Ball with the height given like is
more reasonable than the swing Wrecking Ball.
That way, Trevor's kind of interacting with it.
OK, let's do that. I want ADC 10 intelligence check
from Krussell, nothing too crazy.
Oh, he crit. Oh, OK, fantastic.
That's pretty sick. I don't, I don't know, I think
Trevor just real strength for damage.
I don't think Trevor can really miss if he's being aided by a
crit crystal, right? Like.
I would agree, yeah. So.
So what do you think would be the damage of him landing with
Iron Defense and Harden on top of him?
Let me let me think. Let me also run a quick
calculation. Yeah, because I think like him
hardening himself up would give him some kind of bonus to that.
Yeah, how was this in DMD 5E which we are not playing but our
game is simpler to a cannonball deals 8 D 10 and then you would
add strength. How does that sound?
Yeah, OK. I think that works.
It's based off of Crustal's intelligence though, right?
No, that was just the initial hit.
I think crustal is the mechanism and then Trevor's actually
dealing the damage is the way that I interpret it.
I think another DM might do it differently, but.
That is 56 damage. Fantastic.
Yeah Oh my God. Deoxys knows this is coming
obviously and requests ADC 20 Dexterity check from Trevor as
this is happening. 16. 16 Great. You will still take some damage.
Oh, they got like all their dice.
That is rough. So yeah.
So Crustle being given an instruction by Gimli just
internalizes and knows the the true the truth of the action
plan. Lasagna seasoned A psychic
threat that's been devastating and decides now is the time for
action, Uses its immense brain power through its gem
crystalline shell, picks up Trevor, moves it over Deoxys and
goes to drop it the moment that Crustle.
Picks up Trevor for this technique, Deoxys already knows
what's happening and it floats in place and it starts laser
beaming at Trevor trying to like cut through his body.
Just just straight through the center gem on its core.
A second or two later, Crosso successfully moves Trevor over
the top and squashes into Deoxys.
How much damage was that again on Deoxys 5656?
OK, maybe this is kind of Fair. Then dealing 56 points damage to
Deoxys as it just gets squashed underneath Trevor, it's
tentacles still writhing. It's still active for now, and
as Trevor falls, it realizes that it's been pierced by
psychic beams for 58 points of damage.
Oh great news, sturdy procked on that I pre rolled it.
There we go. So we're taking half of that.
So that is 29 points of damage and also well, actually no,
because it's I I forgot to roll harden hold on because I
decreased that damage before it gets halved got it so that is 6
off of that so it's down to 52 and then down to 26 points of
damage correct never punished let's.
Go sturdy. Yeah, sturdy too.
Good dude. OK.
Great, Deoxys is still up. We will say I can't give this
was a very powerful attack and I don't know if we as a crit, I
don't, I think we'll say that it is prone slash pinned for two
rounds of actions. He's just sitting there.
He's just sitting on top. Yeah, because I think, I think
it'll take about 10 seconds for Deoxys to writhe out with its
with its powers. So I'm going to say not a full
round, but for the next turn of the turn after that, anything
else for Gimli? I think, I think that was
everything. I think that.
Was all the actually. Coming.
Do you have any flavor? Oh, I was, I meant to do this
when we were dead because I was like, oh, yeah, crack knuckles,
let's go. I was like, well, Gimli is like
kind of crawled away hiding in like around the bleachers area
because he's so injured. But he definitely like in
desperation shouted out. And they're just like.
And then they're like, oh, OK. Yeah.
They started going to action. Your mic kind of obliterated you
shouting, but I think that made it.
I think that made it better, kind of.
That's totally fair. No one knows what he said.
Yeah, that's it. Well, Gimley was just like,
shouting like nonsense because he's hurt.
He's like. Well, it's probably echoey in
The Cave too. Yeah, there's that as well.
Yeah, overall successful turn, very nice.
Yeah, absolutely great. Here we go.
It's the Allies turn. Scarlett's immobilized again.
She's taking an injury to her left leg.
She can kind of hobble around, but right now she's just kind of
like lying out on the ground. She instructs Absal to while
there's this opportunity to go for an attack here, going for a
night slash. It does hit.
If it was holding a scope lens, it would have crit.
That is so sad, but here we are. Pretty low roll, but it is super
effective, so that's going to be 32 points of dark type damage
pretty good. This phase of deoxys's laser
beams do ignore immunities, so apps all will be taking some
sort of damage. The reaction, well, it could
pass the deck save. Actually, let's see.
That does not. And would you look at that, It
takes the same amount as Trevor Absalt goes in for an incredible
Night Slash, cutting right into the face of Deoxys.
It seems like as the Night Slash connects, the Deoxys let's out a
terrible alien sound, the first sound you've heard from it that
wasn't a laser beam. And it immediately fires back
with a laser and Absalt falls, defeated.
For now, Deoxys is still under the rock.
And let's go to Cindy. Cindy, you are knocked out.
Make a death safe. Oh.
No. You're one up.
You're good. High Roller, let's go.
Oh no. High Roller.
Tonight, it's Cindy's first fail.
She's one and one. I should also mention that larva
* is probably in Cindy's backpack, just like chilling.
Yeah, do you do you want to role play Larva Star for a second?
I mean, I don't know how much larva star would or could be
able to do. What's their What's their
nature? Reckless.
I think they would want to go in personally.
They are not going to be giving any instructions here, so they
will do things less effectively, but I think Larva Star wants a
piece of this pie personally. Yeah, I think it would probably
try to go for like AI don't know whether it would be like a range
to attack or a melee attack. Roll roll AD 20.
I have some ideas. Roll a straight D20 for Larva
star. Can do 6. 6 larva star is
reckless, but it's also not an idiot.
It's going to use a ranged attack.
OK. So probably.
Options are Ember or Indoor. Roll indoors.
Not really range attack but it it I could see it doing it and
just do ember. Just do ember roll.
OK. What's your attack bonus on it?
+7. Make it +3.
Does the 19 hit? Yeah, it totally does.
That's pretty good. Larvae start killing it.
Does that burn? If the natural attack role is
an. 18 Oh, got it, got it. Yeah, that's the total.
It was not. So it's one DI.
Want a retcon? Not really retcon.
I I want to describe the access here as pinned and not prone,
just to get that clear. OK, so normally you'd have more
trouble hitting if it's prone because it's flat, but Larva
Star's also on the ground. It's a tiny little bug, so.
It it works vibe a little buggy bug like Oh no, mom's down.
There, take this. So yeah, roll, roll that damage.
The 15. 15 OK, that's, you know, that's pretty Dang good.
That's Larva Star's got to kill it.
It's not bad. Yeah, absolutely.
Larva Star does that and as a result, Deoxys riding around on
the ground, one of the tentacles reaches out and fires a blast.
Make ADC 20 deck save. Dex is +2 somehow for tiny bug?
Yeah, tiny bug. It's kind of a big bug.
It's a big larva, we'll say. Like 18 it's.
An 18 that is not a success, and Larva Star will be taking 41
points of laser beam damage. Is it resistant?
It is not. We're treating this as like
typeless, basically. It's typeless, OK.
OK, 41. Cool.
Yeah, Larva Star is pretty bulky, right?
Yeah, Larva Star is pretty bulky.
OK, cool. For a level 8 bug, yes.
Like let me be clear, for a level 8 bug, pretty bulky OK?
Yeah, we will. We will treat Larva Stars in
combat at the moment. Very good.
OK, I think that's all that Cindy can do is what Larva Star
is doing. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Schmidt, Schmidt, you're up.
LED told you to. So you came to consciousness.
You wake and you see Quacko also rising to consciousness.
And then you hear LED say be careful, Schmidt.
So what is your line of action here?
Also, sorry, at this point the access has wriggled itself out
from underneath Trevor. It is next to Trevor, but it is
like active so to speak it. Wasn't even a full round of
combat. I know I said two turns like 2,
not like full combat rounds, but 10 seconds is what we're just.
Saying OK, OK. I was like, what?
Yeah, yeah. OK, do I be the hero or do I run
away you. Always roll the dice.
I could. I'm going to do a coin flip.
OK, we need a hero. More than number hero, more than
life. How low do we think the axis is?
It's it's on its last phase and we hit it a lot.
I'm OK, Coin landed on heads. So I guess I'm here a moment.
Let's go. Give me before you do anything,
just give me a little perception.
A little perception. Just a little one, just a little
1A. Little guy just.
A little Just a little guy, just a.
Little perception, yeah. Just a little 13.
Little thirteen? Yeah, that's good enough.
You feel that. There are two pairs of eyes very
focused on you intently. One of them is Deoxys, the other
one is Altarius. Altaria is looking at Schmidt.
What you looking at me for? Do you ask that?
Will that take an action? No it doesn't.
OK, then, yeah. Altaria kind of like flops
around behind Deoxys and it has like a look of like concern and
determination on its face. That told me nothing.
You rolled a 13. OK, Concern and determination.
Yeah, it's up to you, Mr. Word. Translate though Quacko's like
an excellent Pokémon to human translator.
He's proven it before. It's so true.
Would that take an action though?
I'm going to have it. If you do decide Quacko to try
and translate it will take a bonus action.
He will not be able to do anything outside of movement
attack after. It'd be a Quacko bonus action,
correct? Well, I mean, they're all
shared, kind of, but yeah. OK.
Yes, it would be a Quacko. Schmidt would sell the bonus
action. Yeah, that's OK.
That's fair. Yeah, let's do it.
OK. Do you have Quacko initiate a
conversation real quick, or does he just turn to Schmidt and
Quack? Just turn to Schmidt and then
like try to translate what alteria this feeling.
Yeah, Roll, roll AD 20. It was a. 1515 That's pretty
Dang good. Quacko turns to Schmidt after
realizing that he's confused about Altaria because Quacko and
Schmidt have an incredible connection.
Quacko turns to Schmidt and quacks, and Schmidt knows that
Altaria has been holding its moves for like 3 rounds because
it is determined to keep Schmidt safe.
It is waiting for Deoxys to make a move for Schmidt, and it wants
to save Schmidt all from one quack.
That was pretty good, Quacko. Yeah.
That's a pretty good question. So smart, dude, Yeah.
He's the he's the mascot for a reason.
So true. Options, Options options.
Take your time. I I feel like the answer's no.
I'm on here, if I tell Altaria to do something, does that count
as Schmidt's Pokémon making an action?
Yes. OK, so since Altari is behind
the axis, would that be an automatic crit if Schmidt is?
Let's roll for it because there's, you know, vaguely
there's some sort of familial bond between Schmidt's and the
dragon. It's he is ancestrally one of
them. So being that his his preferred
style of tactics seems to be kind of derived from
dragonheads, I don't think it's completely unreasonable that
Altaria wouldn't benefit from Schmidt's commanding abilities.
But I don't think it's guaranteed so.
OK. Let's go to that.
Let's make it a charisma check with ADC of 13 Schmidt Charisma.
Also, sorry before you roll. This means you're committing to
telling Altaria to do something if you do this role.
If if it doesn't succeed, Altario was is still going to
like be your action piece. Does that make sense?
Like you can't have the crit aspect fail and then back out
and decide to do something with Quacko.
Committing to doing this, yes. Cool awesome.
OK, O just a flat 18. Flat 18, that'll do it.
That's a great role, Yeah. Whatever command given to
Altario here will get the benefits from Schmidt's
passives. I don't really know Altaria's
attacks. How do I want to communicate?
That somebody in the party knew. Oh, Schmidt.
Wouldn't know anyways. Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You could assume you have an
Altaria. So you kind of, like, get what
they're about. You just know that this one's
more fluffy and it sings. I mean, you were saying stupid.
It seems better than yours. I'm sorry.
I've seen this one shoot laser beams.
Right. It does do that, yeah.
Can I tell it to shoot a laser beam?
Yeah, you may. Please shoot a laser beam.
I just rolled the die, I don't know what for.
Yeah, no, you're willing to hit off of I'm.
I'm going to keep Altario stats a secret here.
OK, the 10 on the die. And you're going for the laser
beam? Oh, yeah, sorry.
It's crit. Is it a crit?
Well, because Schmidt time. Yeah, it's critical.
Yeah, that's absolutely correct. That's the whole reason we did
all of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Schmidt, using the familial powers of his new found
relatives, gives a command to Toma, Toma Zotaria, who is
currently behind Deoxys. Deoxys just crawled out from
underneath the boulder, and Deoxys is facing down Schmidt.
It's attention is distracted. Generally, you know, we don't
have to keep this in the recording, but in its first
phase, this wouldn't have worked.
You wouldn't have gotten the flank.
But because Deoxys is honed in, you do get the flanking bonus,
so it's a critical hit. If you're curious you can roll
the damage. Do you want to?
I kind of want you. To sure what?
This is a fairy type hyper beam and the base damage IS10D12 so
you're you're getting 1/2. 345678910.
Yeah. So you're starting with 128
damage as your base, so add to 128 whatever you roll. 128 + 70
even. Yeah, that's what you rolled
with 70. Yeah, OK, Yeah, nearly 200
points of damage as Altaria, who's been really concerned with
this whole situation, rightfully so, turns to the individual that
they've been trying to protect. And they give a command.
And Altaria, with all of the force in its body, unleashes a
powerful multi colored fairy type hyper beam into the back of
Deoxys from behind. It pierces through its back,
through its chest, seemingly obliterating the gemstone that
is within its body. And Deoxys slumps over with a
hole in its chest, and its eyes go dark and it falls to the
ground. Let's fucking go.
We did it. Guys.
Are we still initiative?
Are we? What's going on?
What are you guys doing? I don't.
Know Cindy is still laying on the ground.
That is correct. I think is it over?
Is it over? I'm still because that was
Schmidt's action, telling Alteria what to do, right?
Yes. I'm still propping an action for
Quacko in case this thing starts moving again.
OK, I don't know if we're in combat or not.
We haven't left initiative. Oh, that's awesome actually.
Oh yeah, that's great. That's actually really cool, I.
Love that tension I. Wonder what you guys are doing
what we don't know. What can we do?
Anything. Because we're still interesting.
No, I'm still gravely injured. I It's not my turn.
Yeah, it's not my turn, dog. You absolutely may anyone may
make a perception check. I would like to make a
perception check. Cool, let's.
See, I will say Cindy cannot make a that's.
True. Yeah, you, you're right, not.
Everybody can make a perception check.
Wisdom plus one, let's say 18. 18 That's a great role.
I got what was out of 14 so. OK.
Oh. Oh, for me, for my purposes,
that's two different things. Oh, we'll say Gimli's perception
check from where he is kind of hiding behind the bleachers.
He's kind of looking around, assessing the situation because
he feels a little more relieved. Question mark.
He finds a little folded up piece of parchment.
It's got a tiny little blood stain on it, and it's seems like
it is on the path that leads to the stairs that lead out of this
area. He may choose to interact with
it, or he may choose not to. Certainly interact with that.
OK, we will let you look at it. Not right now, of course.
Schmidt rules pretty well in the perception.
He is concerned that this may not truly be over.
In fact, if we were continuing initiative, this moment would
actually be the Oxy's turn, the Oxy says, still lying on the
ground and from the hole in its chest, Schmidt peers very, very
carefully, and little white specks are accumulating like
little cells of a virus combining to fill the hole in
its chest. It is not moving.
It's still my turn, right? Quacko still has an action.
Yeah, you've been holding it. It is technically Deoxy's turn,
but you've held an action. Kill it, kill it, Knock it off.
Knock it off. Knock it off.
Knock off the chest. Knock.
Off iconic. Honestly deoxys is hard to held
item. Oh oh wait oh what's the the
leak? I rolled the 19th so with the
leak that makes it a crit. That is in fact a crit I.
Think that's the first thing that's ever actually let's.
Watch. Yeah, yeah, roll, roll your
damage, Super effective critical hit.
Knock it off. Honestly, iconic, iconic way for
this end. If this is the end, yeah.
If this is the actual ending. So 45 automatically, and then
I'm rolling again 11. So 11 + 4556, yeah, plus 460
still 60 even. Yep.
Good old even 60 points of damage.
Do you have any flavor to describe this?
It's fine if you don't. Quack code cuts them in half of
the sword if this is the killing blow.
OK. Like vertically because he's
already kind of bisected. Yeah, yeah.
OK, sure. Quacker goes in, leak held high,
slashes into Deoxys, slices through his body, and what was a
evil alien face is unrecognizable.
The tentacles continue to rise, and in fact, they may have been
knocked off. All 16 tentacles fall off of
Deoxy's body and one of them lines up with Quacko and takes a
shot. No have Quacko make ADC 16
dexterity save. Why did the high roll stop here
plus 4? 1313 is not quite high enough.
No. Quacko takes a low roll, takes
31 points of typeless tentacle damage.
I want you to make one more D20 rule, OK?
How much damage do I have to take before it's like automatic
death? Say it's been changed around in
my mind a lot. I'm committing here and now your
total HP negative that's. What we're doing, we're fine.
We're fine. We're fine.
Yeah, that's fine.
I rolled A4 on the D20 though. A4 on the D20.
OK, yeah, that's for a secret trick that will help me later.
Question mark. It does nothing.
The D20, to your knowledge, does nothing.
These tentacles are kind of riding, flopping about.
It seems they have no guidance and they are just shooting laser
beams. They are firing in every which
direction, not being aimed. They are piercing through the
homes, slicing through the bleachers.
None of you seem to be in imminent danger at the moment,
but at any moment you could be struck by a beam.
This is kind of a weird post mortem situation that's
happening here, and it's a little scary because there are
16 laser beams firing in every direction.
Elodie, what are you doing? That's actually a really good
question. Thank you for asking.
Secret fourth phase, OK. If anyone's about to get hit, I
really want a wide guard. Crack goes down, by the way.
Yes, Yeah. Yeah, Uh huh.
But there are also lasers. Yep, sure are.
That's true, yeah. Cindy's taking a big old snooze,
yeah. What the hell are you doing?
OK. She can also just if you no, you
can also like just make checks, right?
You can like figure out like you can do a vibe checked and maybe
I don't know, I don't know. I kind of, I kind of, I kind of
do have an idea of what I want to do.
It's just there's like like too many things to do kind of like
type deal. So it's like, well, well, you
know, Yeah. First, first, I know I am fairly
certain that I am going to go for a heel pulse from Miss
Curly, Miss Key Lime. OK, can I do the double target
thing with Crackle and Cindy now?
Yeah. Are they close enough together?
OK, what's? The range in here pulse. 30
feet, yeah. OK, cool.
Or, or you love double s. double s means I roll again, right?
No, just kidding. 8 + 3, That's another eleven, baby.
So that's 11 for Quacko and five for Cindy.
Does 11 bring Quacko to Restored?
Yes, OK, no. No.
Math.
Hold on, you said it was 31 damage earlier.
Yes, I don't know. And he was currently at 7,
right. So yeah, I don't think he's.
No, he was at 11. He's at 11.
Yeah, you still know. -31 plus. 11 still.
No, it's still like -12 OK. The best I can do.
Yeah, it is appreciated, Yeah. But is it the best I can do?
Cindy's up because she will be up.
She got 5 at HP. OK.
I don't know if I counted beyond zero.
I so it's funny, I'm treating it as like for people, it's like
you go down to zero and you're like making death saves.
And for Pokémon we haven't really done death saves yet.
So I'm still trying to figure out how I want to do that.
So and did the death saves are more important when you have a
negative HP to overcome like Quacko in the situation, right?
So we will just say that Cindy is recovered with 5HP.
Sounds. Good, I know for sure I'm
considering death stage on Pokémon is if they're attacked
when they're unconscious that is a failure.
But as far as like other mechanics, I'm still not certain
yet. That's a hard one.
Yeah, there's an answer. I'll, I'll figure it out.
We'll get to it because. I don't want to get to it, it's
a hard thing. To Yeah, it's a hard thing to
think about, yeah. OK, as my other action OK, I
would like to remove aubergine from the basket.
OK. In doing so, question though,
she was, you know, chilling in the basket with the XP gord.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now that she is out of the
basket, is she no longer holding the XP Gord?
Technically it's equipped but I don't think it's hurting her.
I also based on our conversation before, I also don't think it's
helping her either. Right.
But if I wanted if I wanted to her not be holding it anymore
easy. Is that possible or would that
take an action? That's totally fine.
She doesn't want to hold it either.
She's done with it. She's done.
She's like sick of this. Yeah.
Yeah, Is that all my actions or can she do something now?
If she has a bonus action, which I think prankster changes things
kind of right. Could I use cuz?
OK, so the way Prankster works is I can move to the top of
initiative order, Yeah, as long as I'm obviously using status
Mover, making it ability check, Yeah.
Could that be like retroactive so that she could move or?
Sure, yeah. Technically.
Like the top of initiative has already happened, but she wasn't
out, so yeah. That's totally if that's a
perfectly fine answer. OK, Yeah, we can.
We can do that one bonus action. OK.
I would like to copycat Heel Pulse on to Quacko.
Love it. That's so sick.
And she's absolutely doing flip. Yeah, she she definitely does a
backflip. 100% spicy. Yeah, that's really cool.
That is spicy formula. What's Curly's formula?
Curly's formula is 5 D 6 + 3. Yeah, OK.
And what is Purloin's intelligence?
-1. -1 OK, yeah. So that's going to be 1 D12 -. 1
is going to be your formula. Got it.
So this could potentially be nothing.
It could be, yeah. It's fine.
It just got to roll really well. It was a, it was a 2, so.
Oh. OK, so.
You're playing Cavity even though she's unconscious.
Natural two, yes. So that would be 1 damage.
One healing. Yeah, one healing for Quacko.
There you go. It's something.
If it makes a difference,
Aubergine feels proud. Good.
I'm I'm proud of her. That's great.
I think that's a reality. Yeah, that's it for me.
OK, make AD 20 roll. Awesome, I love making random
D20 rolls 4/4. That's the same that Schmidt
got. Go Synergy.
Yeah, you're vibing. The rule doesn't mean anything
to you at the moment to make. I want Ellie to make a
perception check. We did it for Schmidt.
I want you to add one too, OK? That's fair. 18. 18 Yeah, Ellie
sees something she wishes she hadn't seen.
Oh no. Tomatoma is tending to the
relative elders. It seems like Walker is gravely
hurt, Jinga is gravely hurt. Tomatoma is sitting over Renza
and crying and he is not moving. Oh no.
Oh my God. Oh no.
Very, very sad. Also, she notices that Altaria
is not done. Altaria is recovering from a
Hyper Beam and it's panting heavily.
It doesn't have much energy, but it is staring down the corpse of
Deoxys and it is certainly not finished.
Gimli. I mean, I think we're going to
start gathering these tentacles up.
I think what I want to do is use lasagna psychic energy to kind
of gather the tentacles into like a pile and then rock slide
on top of them to kind of contain them.
OK, yeah, I like that. Yeah.
So yeah, yeah, that works. You're making like a tomb, kind
of. Yeah, essentially.
OK, sure, sure. So I roll for each of them,
Yeah. Also, sorry, also roll or one
D12 + 4 before you do that. OK, that's an 8.
OK, cool. Continue with your other stuff.
So the 13 on Lasagna's gathering, OK and then cover on
the rockside, crit them. Fantastic.
Crussell manages to collect six of them, which is a good amount,
and as they are interacted with with Kressel's brain, they start
firing in random directions. However, because of Trevor's
crit, he can immediately cut off their beams and corner them into
a little pile. So that's a number of them dealt
with. In fact, it's all the ones that
are like on the southern side of Deoxys, and the other ones that
are riding around are kind of going towards like the northern
wall. What else are you doing?
That's probably it. That's all your actions, right?
Yeah, that's all my actions. OK, with a majority of the
tentacles dealt with Toma, Toma mourning the loss of her family
and seen. Altaria is not finished.
This is the allies turn by the way.
She gives a quiet command and she Shields her eyes and Altaria
musters the last of its energy and dashes over in flight to the
body of Deoxys. And it uses an ability that
isn't quite an attack and that you may not fully recognize.
But I do want LED to make a wisdom check.
Got it. OK. 14.
That's high enough. OK, so LED see something that
maybe not everyone fully understands besides her and
Toma. Toma, who gave the order.
Ataria flies over and just tackles Deoxy's limp body on the
ground. As it does so, there's a
brilliant light blue and pink flash, and in a moment there is
a small bubble centered around Deoxy's body.
The northern tentacles still kind of ride around and whatnot,
and Altaria flies out of the bubble and falls and it stops
moving. That's the Allies turn.
Cindy can now act. Cindy's going to return Cookie
and Fang OK, and give Larva Star a little pat on the head.
Little pat pat on the head. It's probably about time to
actually catch Larva Star. Sure.
I think we're still in initiative.
That is correct, there are still 10 tentacles.
Tentacles. Tentacles.
I mean, you don't have to do anything about.
Them. They are kind of writhing and
beaming away from your direction, but they are still
there. Yeah, I feel like Barbara Starr
can't really do much given the circumstances of the.
I mean, I guess endure makes the target speed reduced so the
tentacles would. Endure makes.
Slower. Endure makes Lava Stars speed
reduced 'cause it is like bracing.
On a hit, the target speed is reduced by 10 for one minute.
You you're looking at Stringshot.
That's the Stringshot description.
Oh yeah, I never put indoors stuff on there.
I guess you did not. I sent you.
Endure, right? I did, yeah.
You just didn't put it on. It's fine.
How did I mess that up on an? OK, She's not taking damage
though. Yeah, yeah.
I don't know. You can just pass or just like
hold to. It's also an option.
OK, we can hold. Sure.
And then you can just like, pop in after an ally specifically,
which, yeah, that is the that is that.
OK, Schmidt, what's up? There's no clear imminent
threat. Altario just dive bombed Deoxys,
made a small bubble around it and then fell beside it.
And there's 10 tentacles that are just kind of flopping
around. I want to run grab quacko first
and if I have if I can grab Altario as well because that
pass the fuck out right? Yeah, it is not moving.
Yeah, I just want to grab both of them and try to get them out
of harm's way. OK, current priority.
OK, you're talking like Tomatomo zlataria or your.
I'll tell you yours is returned. That's what I thought.
OK, you're scooping up Tomatomo Zlataria.
Roll Just a strength. It's kind of a big bird, so it's
mostly fluff, but it's got some weight.
Why my rolls got to be garbage 2.
Two. Yeah, not only is it really hard
to pick up Altaria, it is completely limp.
OK, OK, other things. Jessica is still out, correct?
That's so stupid. Altaria made a big bubble,
right? It's actually.
Small small. It made a bubble that's
basically just the size of deoxys corpse and it is
surrounding deoxys. OK.
Send the bubble through the portal.
Can I the portal's the other side of it's still here.
Oh yeah. Is the axis like healing inside
of this bubble? You want to peek inside?
Yeah, make. A peeking, peeking inside like.
From a distance. From a distance, yeah.
With it like investigation, doing things to the bubble, OK.
Yeah, you don't have to touch it if you don't want.
You can. Like proficient in Yeah plus
4/16. 16 You see, there are where Quackos split Deoxys in
half vertically. It seems like it might be coming
closer together. Motherfucker, do you interact
with the bubble at all? No.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Well, not yet at least.
Could the bubble be moved by outside forces?
Do you want to try it? I don't, no.
OK, Yeah, you don't have to. There's no, no, this is just.
As a as a thought experiment, not as an action.
Say if I like hurricane the bubble far away.
Yeah, like. Use the attack Hurricane.
Yeah. You could do that.
That's something you could do I Whether or not that move would
depend, but. Compromise the bubble.
I don't know. Is this an LED move?
Hi hello. Are you trying to communicate
with LED? Does Schmidt know that LED has
this move? Because I feel like like shit
all just went down in a second. Sure.
I mean, canonically, Schmidt wouldn't know.
Yeah, I mean, you can RP whatever you want for this
situation. I just don't know how this
bubble works. I'll hold an action for now.
That's it for Schmidt. We're still in initiative order.
This is Deoxy's turn. Nothing happens, Elody.
Hello hi is is hugging a free action?
Yeah, you can hug for sure. I'm gonna hug Toma Toma.
OK, Yeah, you do that. She really appreciates it.
OK, good. The other the conscious track
and it's offer like they just like put their hand on your
side. They are comforting.
Man, all right. If you want to, if you want to
communicate something and you don't really want to do it, I
can do Adm summary. I don't mind doing that at all,
just as a. As like, see I'm I'm willing to
describe what this is, I just don't know if that would be
like. Weird reality to just be like
hey guys so basically this just happened.
Yeah, I mean, you can do it privately.
I mean, no one's stopping you. We are.
Here's the thing. We're in initiative order.
There is no like, sentient hostile threat.
So you can kind of take as much time as you want at this point.
I didn't want to just drop that before we it was Deoxy's Turner.
We saw it did nothing. But at the moment, there is no
hostile creature that is actively attacking you.
There's hostile creatures, but they're kind of just fucking
around so. The tentacles, yeah, are just
fucking around. They probably shouldn't be left
alone, they're kind of laser beaming the buildings and stuff,
but they are not pointed in your direction so right.
If they get to the wall. Maybe they turn around and then
but. So, yeah, we definitely should
deal with the tentacles. Yeah, I think, I think at this
point it would probably be fair to kind of describe.
This. Divine sanctuary OK to my
friends. Sure.
Do you want me to do that, or do you have words for it?
Yeah, I can describe it. I'm assuming you kind of move
away from the Dragons and you kind of get everyone like, OK,
hold on, this is what's happening.
Right. Yeah, basically.
So this is a divine sanctuary, Yes.
And Alteria basically sacrificed its life to create.
Very powerful force field with 869.
Actually, sorry. Nice.
So. Oh, never mind.
That's specifically for cabbage. To cabbage.
I just realized that as I was saying it.
Out of context, can you guess why that number?
Because it's nice. Because it's is that.
No, it says Pokémon number. That's correct.
Hey. That's cool, but what's
Altaria's Pokémon number? It's different.
It's. Lower, nificantly lower, yeah.
It also may just behave differently for Altaria.
So right, that's fair. I would not expect it.
That's not the HP, that's a passcode, yeah.
Bubble Vault, but as far as we're aware it's a very high HP
bubble, so we probably don't have to worry about destroying
it. However, the axes upon
regeneration may eventually destroy it.
Question mark. But the way that Sanctuary
functions is friendly. Creatures can exit, but they
can't enter. So we can't go into it, but it
can't leave. All damage is resisted so.
You'll get to it. Keep yeah, keep reading through
Sanctuary. You'll see something important.
And then hostile creatures. Oh yeah, Hostile creatures
cannot damage Sanctuary from the inside, So yeah.
So it actually, yeah, it's stuck in there for good as long as we
don't attack it. Or anyone.
Else to the point of its death and for clarity and this.
Sanctuary was a technique taught to LED by Tomatoma so LED was
able to decipher what had happened in this situation.
It was like. Three months ago.
So I wanted to remind everyone that it's not just crazy LED
foresight. Just like Brain blast.
I know like this. She she's familiar 'cause she
talked with Tomatoma about it. And it also lasts obviously
until the HP is depleted or until the user is laid to rest
as a ritual or relatively near where the user Pokémon consider
his home. So probably would be best to do
something about this Yaxi so that we can do that for Alteria.
We are a funeral service after all.
So yeah, I think probably the best course of action would be
to send this bitch to outer space via perhaps portal or some
other. The situation.
Gun. Be a gun.
So it's it is it is stuck in there, right?
Yeah. So.
And it's going to keep regenerating as long as it has
cells, right? Probably.
OK, what if we just obliterate every cell of its body and.
What can we do that like? We.
Take we take some time, get a
long rest. If it'll stuck in there then we
alpha solely again and everybody just hits it with a big laser.
It's I don't want to say that's like literally impossible.
Can't we not go in? Well, if we lay Alteria to rest,
then the the sanctuary will go away.
Right. I'm not saying lay alteria to
rest, I'm saying we rest. Right, but I'm saying if we want
to be able to attack it, we either need to destroy the
bubble itself by depleting its HP, which might be a lot, or lay
Alteria to rest. Well, there's a caveat with lay
to rest. Near where the Pokémon considers
home or with a ritual. It's it's the same thing.
I'm sorry. So either it's OK.
So yeah, as a ritual, either at its home or near its home.
Oh I read that as ritual or near home.
I'm sorry, it's that's me not having reading comprehension
skills. No, it's fine.
It was worded confusing. OK, which do we know?
The ritual. I'm guessing Toma Toma does, but
she might need a minute. Yeah, we we have to recollect
ourselves before we're just addressing this because it can't
escape the bubble. You can't escape the bubble.
We have a minute. We can take a rest, get everyone
healed up, all the Pokémon, all the people that are still.
We we should call the boy the. Boy.
Oh, so that's another thing. So consider.
Calling the boy. Yeah, so Schmidt, when I, you
know, had my little one-on-one, my little Kiki with Deoxys,
basically there was like a fun, super awesome green serpent
thing and Deoxys destroyed your little lower keeper rock, which
I'm assuming would be a very bad thing.
My rock was destroyed. In, in, in my vision, in my my
vision of Deoxy's intention. So that's what it.
Wants he wanted to destroy your rock.
OK, Schmidt's like checking his pockets and he's like, the
rock's right here. What the fuck are you talking
about? No, no, no.
Just in my in my vision. OK, what do I have this again?
It was given to you off of the top of Toma Toma's Cane I.
I understand that. Oh, it's a rhetorical question.
Yes, well, I was. Gonna say we can ask Walker but
like, he's probably not gonna be like super.
It's rhetorical for the players. Schmidt has no fucking idea why
he has this. Rock it.
Was never properly explained to him but everyone just assumed
like you're the law keeper. He's like I what is that?
I don't even know what that. Is and he's like.
Yes, someone requests like I don't know what to do with this
stupid ass rock. Schmidt never played the Delta
episode. He has no.
Fucking idea what's going on? Right.
Yeah, yeah, there's info you could.
Put in elders can help him summon Raquesa and have Raquesa
take because we. Can always ask the elders.
I say heal up first because this is the sanctuary.
We have time. I say use that time to recoup.
Yeah. I don't think if we minutes like
this will take a long time for it.
I'm not saying we have like weeks, but I'm also like we
don't have just like minutes. We got time in.
Game terms saying maybe a short rest, potentially a long rest.
You cannot rest here because you are.
While there's no hostile creatures, you are in danger of
taking damage. And danger ticks, so we got to
deal with the tentacles. You have to deal with the
tentacles. 10 tickles. They're still blasting, they're
just kind of not in. Your how many tickles are there?
There are 1010 tickles. And 10 tickles, OK.
Left. Yeah, yeah, there's 10 left.
OK, what's everyone's Pokémon look like?
I'm good. I can keep sweeping.
I'm. Pretty sure I only have a lot.
Well, I can. I can heal people up with.
Key line. I can put my mods on January
duty. I have no unconscious.
Gimli roll me, roll me do 20 plus strength 15.
Yeah, with L DS healing. These things are not
intelligent. Gimli will be able to clean them
up. If he just says he's doing that,
it will be fine, OK. Janitor Gimli cleaning up the
stuff. Are you?
Are you tubing them in rocks like you did the other ones?
Yeah, we're just going to tune them.
You notice that like when they're covered in rocks, they
just kind of stop. Like, oh, OK, I guess it's over.
Yeah, so there's a pile of rocks South of the stage that has 6
tentacles in it, and then there's a pile of rocks in the
north that has 10 is what I'm picturing.
And then in the middle, in the center of the ceremonial stage,
there's a shattered meteor and Deoxys is regenerating corpse
inside a little bubble that is the environment.
So that's dealt with. I just want to kind of reset the
stage. We are out of initiative.
The elders are all kind of just like trying to get up, trying to
stand up. Jenga is just a hugging Renza on
the ground. Scarlett's kind of like being
annoying and she's like get up. Like she's trying to like move
around and like it's not really working super well and Zavo just
kind of creeps up behind the Packo and is just kind of like
standing there and he looks like he wants something to do but
he'd like doesn't know what to do.
Also, Gimli has a thing. You don't have to do anything
with it right now, but since there's so much time, I will
send it to you. You guys are in free RP for the
first time in a while. Yeah, OK.
Recovery game plan. There is something I would like
to do before. What is the what?
Now can I know how it works? Kind of.
I would like to take the Uber ring and try to find Sam.
Oh, interesting. So you, so you're going to
you're going to grab the open portal, correct?
Yeah, like try and close it. Yeah, you do that.
You put your hand in and it's weird cuz you can see your
fingers like on the other side of the opposite portal, but then
once you like pull on it, it just like descends into a
regular bracelet. And so now you're trying to
create a portal and what is your intent?
I would like to go to Sam's location.
OK, you internalize Sam's location and you're holding the
Hooper ring and a little purple portal starts to form and then
it flickers out. It seems like it tried to do
something but it it didn't. OK, that's fair.
I just wanted to see if it would work.
Yep. So is it doing that because?
Yeah, I guess. Or right I'm guessing.
It's there's not a, there's not a location.
It's probably because we don't know.
Right. Like we don't know the actual
place. Like we knew where, like we
like, I want to make a portal from here to there.
It's like very obvious where. Like if you've never been there
and you don't know where you're going, you can't go there, Which
is not unreasonable for a portal.
OK, yeah, that's fair. I just wanted to try.
OK, my thought process is we couldn't go to Sam because there
is no longer a Sam but. That's also possible.
We we all have a reasonable understanding.
You know what it is? I'm going to.
Can I just do it again and just say I want to go to Sam's body?
Yeah, you get the, you get the same result, OK.
OK. It's just because we don't know
copium. Copium.
Only we can reach out to Kaz. Schmidt wants to sit down with
the dragon heads, OK, and just have them explain fucking
everything. I like that you do that.
Schmidt walks over to the dragon heads.
They are mourning, but there's also like a little bit of hope
in their eyes. They're all pretty hurt.
A blanket has been draped over Renza.
He has not been moved and you sit him on them and they are
happy to see you. We will do the the fill in the
next time that we gather. I guess maybe just like I wanted
to stop initiative, but maybe just like little wrap up time.
I know it's around that time where we should kind of like
decide our actions. So what are we thinking?
Well, like, I know Schmidt's doing the like talking to the
track and it's kind of what I, I, oh, is Cindy still in?
Cindy conscious or unconscious? What's happening there?
Cindy's conscious. Yeah, she's 5HP, baby.
Yeah, she's like bad shape. She's she's rough.
She's. After nearly dying twice.
Yeah, she looks exhausted and like brittle and just yeah,
sorry. You can RP.
That bruised, bloodied like. I'm not going to distract
Schmidt with this, but I'm going to.
I'm going to put this in the chat anyway because it's the
note I found. Cindy might have a couple broken
ribs. Someone can read it out loud and
that can definitely be me. I I would be most appropriate if
it's either you or me, Gimli. So do you have a preference?
Yeah, you can do it. That's fine.
OK, Gimli opens up a little note.
Does he say anything before he reads it out?
I think I I found this and it's it's a little concerning.
It's about Sam. Yep, you're welcome to share it
in the chat and I will read it as people read it.
Here we go, it says. It's not opening properly.
Oh, yeah, I'll wait for you to post it.
Or I can also do it. Actually, it might just be
easier if I do that. You got it.
OK. This is what the note says.
Hey, sis. I'm glad I managed to find you
here in Hoen. I wanted you to know that I know
how hard your job is, and I'm worried it's really taking a
toll on you. I know that Dad is proud of you.
He wouldn't have agreed to that whole idea if it weren't for
your careful planning and execution.
I think it was a scheme that outdid the width of his own.
I know you say you don't care about him, but you've really
accomplished a lot. Maybe it's time to take a break.
Knowing you, you'll never give up.
But I'm I'm just worried as all all the stress can't be good for
you. You're not invincible.
I just want you to be careful. I know you've done your research
and you're so confident it'll work, but I still don't believe
finding your father is possible. What I do know is that if he
were watching you right now, he'd be incredibly proud of how
far you've come and he'd want you to take care of yourself.
You don't have to come see dad but you should know he thinks of
you a lot and he'd love to see you in cause some time.
He's retired obviously so he's not going anywhere.
He'll be waiting in Tojo town. Please take care of yourself.
Love S. I'm, I'm sorry, scheme.
Scheme, Scheme. Hashtag Schmidt was right.
Scheme. Yeah, that's she's, she's doing
something. That doesn't mean she's like,
evil. No, no, no, no.
I, I, you know, I just the. Road to Hell is paved with good
intentions. Just means she's scheming well.
Is her first. Scheme is trying to find her
like biological father. I think those are those are two
separate paragraphs. I'll just like to point out I'm
more implying that I think her father's actually dead, but or
in a dimension or some shit. Like.
We, we, I think we already gathered that.
Right. Just by even just by, yeah, even
just by like reading through this, like it's just like you'll
find your dad. He's not miss.
He's like missing in a sense of like my, my dude did research.
It got sucked into an interdimensional portal type of
research type of shit. Did I post my conversation with
Sam in Group notes? No, I.
I did. I spoiler tagged it in Group
notes. Sam seems OK from Blackthorne.
Software engineer. Father passed.
Mother took it so hard that Sam had to be adopted.
So what? We knew before the father
passed, but apparently she's still searching for him.
Yeah. But it was just like going to
hell. I think Cindy would want to
catch larva star basically like good job and just like hold out
a pokey ball because I have one pokey ball and be like, do you
do you want to you want to be my friend?
Yeah, Larva Star doesn't even think twice.
Larva Star already loves you. You are its mother.
Really. I mean, you didn't create the
egg, but it's the first thing that Larva * saw when it
hatched, so that's a weird thing to say.
Cindy is the first thing that Larva * saw when it hatched, so
of course it wants to enter your ball.
Cool. You do that.
I think you might have to send someone back.
Yes, and everybody's fainted, so let's send Fang.
Fang goes to the box. Anything else for Cindy?
I think that's pretty much it. OK, Elodie, how will you wrap up
this dreadful night? So two things.
One, she's probably just trying to heal up everybody as much as
she can with Key Lime and aubergine.
Yeah. The other thing is a question,
which is that is the journal. Is Sam's journal still here
around? That is correct.
It is face down in a little puddle of blood.
I shall perhaps pick it up. OK, you do that.
What you see as you pick it up on the first page is an
illustration of dragon and village with meteors in the sky
and two people standing next to each other.
One could easily be Symetra and one could be Schmidt.
Is that it for? Ellen it's very cute and it
makes me very sad. And probably, yeah, we can leave
perhaps rifling through the journal to another time.
Right. Makes you sad.
Perfect. After a long, terrible night,
the hardest challenge the Quacko Packo has ever had to deal with,
the sun begins to rise through the holes in Dragon Village.
Success overall, but not without great cost.
The Quacko Paco will seek to gather more information, tend to
the weakened elders, and continue their journey based on
this information that they still have to decipher.

It's true, yeah. Cindy's taking a big old snooze.
Yeah, uh huh. You seem stressed.
You can. Also your rent is due this.
Week. Absolutely yes.
Yep. You also forgot to renew the
tags on your car. No, on my car.
And don't forget your final next week.
Yeah, I never want to take another final in my life.
So that the refrigerator might be a jar that you can tell and
now everything is going bad so. Just like everything is going
wrong. What do I do?
Yeah. Oh.
My God, I gotta roll dice. Big stretch.
A big stretch. Here we go.
Here we go, Wind it up, wind it up.
I was just handed a little piece of cake.
Oh, eating the Oxus celebration cake.
Yay, it is so much joy. Bunch of bodies.
Definitely not death and despair.
