Welcome to the Cali Rex Game Corners Pokémon DND campaign
featuring Cindy, a young Vagabond from the Hohen region
with pyromaniac tendencies, Gimli, a stocky Burley miner
from Sino looking for his lost son, Elody, an enthusiastic
foodie and Baker from Carlos, and Schmidt, an enigmatic man
from Johto with a duck. My name is Rich and I'm the game
Master and this is Dunsparse and Grandpa.
You've made it. Ask the the rocky cliffs into
Route 113. This is a very interesting
route. Soot is constantly falling like
rain is very interesting. Something leads you to believe
that when Mount Chimney erupts, the natural air currents of Hoen
tend to deposit all the soot right here, and as a result, it
is also very lush. There are still rocky cliffs all
around you, and there's a desert nearby.
However, the plant life here is incredible.
It is thriving. Must have something to do with
the volcanic soil. This is just kind of like a
nature path. There appears to be 1 domicile
further down the way, but besides that you there are just
sounds of wild Pokémon wrestling in grass.
Does anyone have any certain things that they wish to do here
while they're here? I personally don't mind carrying
on unless someone wants to check out the nature.
I think I'm good. All the ninja kids are of
course, trapped with you because Key Lime is out.
How is Elody just like holding Key Lime in front of her or
like, how is this working? Like the arena trap's just
going. Yeah, she's just holding Key
Lime, OK, And Key Lime just making the arena trap happen.
Cool. Key Lime doesn't even really
know exactly like what's going on.
Like Key Lime just kind of existing and be like, oh, I
guess I am doing a thing that's interesting.
Just very natural for Key Lime. I'm assuming Schmidt's gotten
off the ground is no longer curled up in the fetal position,
it's falling. Reluctantly, but yes.
Reluctantly cool, cool, cool Cindy Roll perception.
All right, Perception 16. 16 You see the ninja kits, they are
looking at a certain alcove here on this route and you can see
that one of them is like making funny hand gestures and two of
them are saying on either side of them, it's Yosef actually,
who's like gesturing just out into the into the distance just
towards the northern right direction.
If there's a recipient of these, you don't know, but you
witnessed some sort of hand signal communication happening.
Is the hand signal a communication I'm familiar with,
or is it like made-up ninja hand gestures from this group of
kids? I could have you roll for it.
The check would be super high if you want to.
Could be funny. Sure.
OK, Yeah. What?
What model? I got a four.
Never mind, I know nothing. Yeah, you cannot interpret it.
You think it's a language. Maybe they're just playing a
game. You don't know.
I do point this out to the party.
I'm like hey that looks a little suss and I really say it on the
the nature of the hand gestures. The nature of them.
Like are they trying to more like are they trying to like
summon more of their buddies to get them out or like, like
that's that's what I mean, like insight.
Yeah, do an insight check. 11. 11 You're not really sure.
You cannot tell what the intention is.
Well, I do let the party know what's happening.
OK, Do they care? Feel like we should.
I don't want to deal with it, but it's a problem.
Does anybody want to like perceive more about it can.
We just intimidate the kid. Yeah, I was going to say can.
We, I mean like Gimli can like ask them and they're pretty
afraid of him. Yeah.
Yeah, sure. What's all those hand gestures
there? Is this a conversation or do you
wish to intimidate? Intimidating them?
OK. Like, I know they're up to
something like yeah, 14. OK, yeah, you startle one of
them and they say nothing and then Yosef says it's not your
business, old man. The ninja clan has their ninja
way. Just you wait and see.
They're very defiant all of a sudden.
All right, so they're up to something.
They they got back up and they think they're hot shit.
They cannot leave my magical entrapment though like.
How could more people come in? Yeah.
OK. One way door type thing.
Can I look where they were making the hand gestures and see
if I see anything? Absolutely.
It's that perception. Yeah, You don't know what you're
looking at. So that would be Perception
1818. Yeah.
You see out in the forest, the very lush forest, it looks like
there's a tree house. There's a little construction
out there and that seems to be the direction that they were
signaling. You do not happen to see any
individuals though, just. Yell out into this and say
what's happened to your parents too.
Yeah, it echoes throughout the the cliffs, but no particular
reaction. The Yosef is just kind of
smiling. He thinks that he's he's done
something clever. I guess we continue walking them
home. Just look out for things like
pitfalls or the net traps of whatever.
Yeah, fair. Basic ninja things.
OK, you continue on the route. Yeah, yeah.
Great as we're walking kind of like I don't know if make a
perception check to like actively perceive any traps.
Sure. Yeah, do it.
God, my roles when they matter don't.
That's just a 10. OK.
Yeah. You don't really notice anything
in particular as you're walking up some steps.
Continue the route. Let me see.
Ella, do you give me a perception?
Got it 17. You notice all 5?
No, there's eight of the kids, right?
Because we trapped them. 3. 3 all the way, right?
33 all the way before they were in trapped.
That's correct. All five of the kids, they keep
walking with you. They're still compliant, but you
notice all of them Don hoods, do they?
They pull their cloaks over their heads at the same time and
they look downwards. I.
Don't want to deal with whatever bullshit's about to have.
Why you guys pulling your hoods up?
Yosef says wouldn't you like to know pocket sand and he throws
pocket sand at LED right in her face and she has to what the
heck, she has to make a constitution save.
It's ADC 10. Let's go.
I got an 11. 11 cool. Yeah you get sand in the face.
Was not too bad. As he pockets sands, all the
little ninja kids hop on the ground and they put their face
in the dirt and you notice as the soot above you starts to
feel a little bit heavier. Roll Constitution saves all of
the people and Pokémon please. Oof.
So just me, Let's see. I would assume everyone else is
away except for Larva Star 'cause he's in my bag, yes.
So I got a six and Larva Star got a 14.
OK. Would. 1515 for Gimli.
Yes, OK. Aubergine also have to make one.
She's in my basket. She's in your basket.
What's your basket like? Describe it.
Like a a a bag, like a basket. OK, Yeah.
It's like a closed picnic basket or like an open.
OK, it has a cover. Yes.
OK, we're we'll say Aubergine's immune.
It's fine. OK, all right then.
I got an 8 and Key Lime got a 17.
OK. Schmidt got an 18.
Quacko got an 11. OK.
And Sam. Sam failed.
This was ADC 15 Constitution. Say Cindy, Eledy, Quacko and Sam
lose their ability to move. They feel completely stunned or
paralyzed, the other remaining people being Gimli, Key Lime,
Schmidt, and Larvastar. They may look upwards and notice
that a moth is flying around and dropping spores on them.
And you here in the distance. I told you this wouldn't be the
last time you messed with Calvin and a boy walks out of the woods
a very. Familiar 1 He.
Locks eyes with Schmidt and he points at Schmidt and he says
our business hasn't finished yet.
Venomoth, you sludge mom. And he's going to have Venomoth
attack Schmidt here. Let's see, what's Schmidt's
armor class? What is?
Oh, that's a good question. He crit.
Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter though.
Let's roll this damage. How much HP does Schmidt have?
Currently 44. OK, cool.
I don't think he's going to kill you with this.
Yeah, but yeah, Kelvin. Kills.
Schmidt Oh my God, you imagine that is the whole 16 points of
poison type damage. And Schmidt feels sick as the
sludge covers his face and it's really bad actually.
And Calvin says you thought you could mess with my new friends.
This is the last time that you mess with me.
And he's standing there posturing and his little
ventinette has clearly evolved and floating above you and
dropping spores. If no action is taken, Those who
did not succumb to the stun sport, we'll have to make
another constitution safe as Venomoth is preparing to drop
some more spores. Also, excuse me.
The five ninja kids spring out of action, and they are just
like running around. All of the people and everyone
who's been stunned, Cindy and Elodie and Sam, they are tying
their wrists together. Oh.
My God, you guys get tied? Yeah, you get tied up.
Children mean business. Can the larva star like fire the
the ropes? Yeah, Larva star, I can try.
This is going to be a pretty dexterous thing for a baby to
do, but it's possible. Because he's in Larva Star is in
my bag kind of poking out, so OK.
So he'd be like point blank for Cindy, right?
Yeah. Yeah, he still has to dex it,
but yes. Come on, Larva Star, it's a 15
on the dice 16. 16 yeah, that's good enough.
He singes the ropes enough where if Cindy could move, she'd be
able to break free, but she's still currently stunned at the
moment. Great.
I'm gonna pull out Sonia and Trevor again and we're we're
machine gunning this venom off. OK, go for it.
Trevor first rock blasting. I want Elodie to say what she
wanted to say though. OK.
Yeah, you can. Are we could aubergine go for a
copycat with the stuns 40? Yes, absolutely.
Yes, OK. I'll do that first.
And it it will go first because of Prankster.
I don't think we're initiative yet.
I don't think we need to, OK. Cool, I do not have the stuff
for sun sport so. Oh, sure, sure, sure.
I I do not know what to roll for that.
Yeah, that would be me, I think. I know, but give me a second
just to make sure. No worries.
Sounds like it's sending out a a check for ADC 15 gon save.
Yeah, I mean, yes, that is correct.
The the con save is built on the Pokémon that uses it though.
So what is what is this based on?
Hold on. OK, It's based on either wisdom
or Yeah, it's based on wisdom. So what's Aubergine's wisdom
score? +2.
OK, so it's ADC 14 on, it's targeted on the Venomoth anyone
else? Can I target it on the kids too?
Yeah, that's reasonable because it's like kind of a column.
Well, imagine that Aubergine just kind of like does the cat
flip thing. And it also like flips into the
air and it kind of summons A fascinating prankstery power
where it is able to duplicate a move that has occurred and
sprinkles spores vertically onto hostile targets.
So Venomoth saved. I'm going to roll for each
individual kid I suppose. Yosef saved, kid 2 failed, Kid
three really failed, Kid 4 crit kid 5 failed.
So two of the ninja kids, or I should say 3 of the ninja kids
are also now stunned. Venimoth and Yosef and one other
ninja kid are still moving around.
I heard rocks were coming. Yeah, so Trevor shoots out rocks
at the Venom off does a 13 hit. It does not.
OK, lasagna will do the same and lasagna gets even worse so that
does not hit. Dang, very close.
Yeah, those are bad rules. It's not enough unfortunately.
I want the stunned humans and Quacko to retry their con saves
and then we probably will do just a quick initiative I think.
It seems like it would be a short battle.
Yeah, Cindy LED Quacko and Sam after all for Sam.
Sam fails. Yeah, still fail.
OK, Quacko. Quacko also failed.
Wow. Everyone who was stunned is
still stunned. That's kind of crazy.
OK, let's get some initiative going.
Just a quickie. My roles are fast tonight.
All of our initiative is real bad.
Oh wow, I'm assuming that Schmidt has higher dex than
Gimli, correct? Yes.
Dang, I forgot to roll for Sam. OK, the baddies go first.
Calvin thinks for a moment, and he decides to try and get
positioning. Gosh, how are we going to do
rules for Rena Trap here? Because we're in a new combat.
But it never returned to the Pokey Ball, and it's been
active. So I want to say Rena Trap's
still going. Does that sound right?
Does that sound fair? Yeah, that's what we were using
to keep the case. Yeah, yeah.
I would say until it returns to this pokey ball or it gets
knocked out, it will keep that ability.
So Calvin looks to reposition and then notices what I I can't.
And there's like a little wall. He entered it, but he cannot
escape. Listen here, Calvin, once we
lock eyes, we have to battle. I'm giving you inspiration.
Oh hell, I. Am that's really good that was
amazing yeah, that's very good he.
Huffs and he puffs and he is just going to charge his body at
Schmidt. Oh my.
God really trying to. Count.
Yeah, this. Is a this is a street fight,
Yeah. An unarmed strike with a natural
19 should connect. Oh my God.
OK. I need to Kelvin count your
blood. Yeah, Schmidt's also still
poisoned, correct? Yes.
OK. We'll just talk that on the
turn, I think. He's a child, so his strength
isn't that good, but he's a ninja now, so his dex is pretty
good. OK, cool.
With no weapons, he should be dealing this amount, so let me
roll it. Charges into Schmidt, pushes him
over, dealing eight points of damage.
Maybe not pushes him over, but like knocks him.
He's not prone or anything, but he charges basically into
Schmidt's waste because Schmidt is very tall.
OK, Schmidt's feeling sick, right?
Yeah, doesn't feel great. Can Schmidt throw up on him?
You can fail a con check if. I fail a con check?
Hell yeah. You.
Yeah, If you do too well, you're going to keep it in.
Odd. Damn it, I rolled them 11.
Yeah, you feeling queasy? Maybe you like spit a little
bit, but you're you don't. Do not vomit.
I'm sorry. That would have been a great
reaction though if you really want to, you probably want to
save it because you have inspiration, but you could use
that inspiration negatively. I would offer that if it's worth
it to you to get this vomit off, but maybe it's.
Not I'll save it, I'll save it. Cool, Venomoth.
What's Venomoth doing? Let me decide.
I think it's just going to go for another sprinkling.
It's going to sprinkle some more sports.
The ninja kids realize this and three of them are stunned, but
Yosef and his friend tuck back into their cloaks and everyone,
including Calvin. Will wide guard that oh he's a
new encounter so that does not fail.
That is correct. You're right.
How much PP do you have left? There got to be 1 left, right?
OK, yeah, the it's not typically a spread move, but how it's
using in this flavor, it is. So Dwebbel's magical jemmy Wall
of protection arises this time horizontally to block the sports
from falling from above. And wouldn't you know it, no one
gets bored. Very impressive.
Yeah, Yosef and his friend are just going to try and be
disruptive. Yosef is going to make a couple
checks as part of this combination attack.
He eyes at Gimli. He's going to make a stealth
check. He hits A7.
That's not a pass, and he is going to attempt to tie his feet
together with a Dex check of A10.
I'm going to say that barely does not succeed.
Well, let's do a contested Dex. I think that's better.
I think it's better flavor. Just got to beat A10.
Should be fine, yeah. Well, you.
Think, but 13 does beat it. OK, cool, that does work.
Yosef does not successfully tie his feet together and then as a
reaction. Yeah.
Yes, it'll be a high check. Yeah, 'cause we failed his
stealth. So that's true.
Kind of saw him coming. Yeah, that's true.
That's true. Yeah, you can.
We can call it strength. That's fine.
Dirty 20. OK, yeah, you got him.
All right, crap. Like what are you doing?
Enough of this. We're taking you home.
OK, yeah, he's, he's scared I'm going to make a con check for
pee. He credit.
So he's fine. He will not be himself.
Yeah, he's holding it in. Yet.
Yes, he's not peeing yet. He's still feeling defiant.
The other kid, What's the other kid going to do?
He with everyone like stunned. It's very interesting.
I think he's going to hide. He's going to make a self check.
E credit 2 crits in a row. Very cool.
Yeah, he unbeknownst to any of you, he just seems to have
disappeared. He clearly has not left the
arena trap, but he is snuck somewhere who knows where.
OK, that's all the baddies. I think it's Elodie's turn to
try and break free from being stunned.
Got it. We'll say that the check
diminishes as time passes, so we'll give this to you for 13,
Ron. No, I rolled A2, so that's going
to be a no. Still stunned, still tied
wrists. Yes Foggies.
Sam is going to see if she breaks.
It's a 2. This stun Sport's really
effective. That's crazy.
Very. Powerful.
Yeah, now it's Schmidt Stern. Wait, where did I put Cindy?
Oh, Cindy, did I get initiative from Cindy Five?
Yeah. Sorry.
Cindy goes here. This is Cindy Stern.
Great, I need to roll to get out of my situation.
Oh, 19. 19 good and your wrists are not bound, so you're able to
get up and you may do a thing. You see that this boy has
tackled Schmidt. I guess burning the children is
frowned upon, right? This is your world that you're
playing in. You can do whatever you want.
You too are also a child. That's true.
Cindy is gonna send out solely OK, and we're gonna have the
solely used flamethrower. OK.
In the direction of Is Calvin touching Schmidt or is there
like space between him and Schmidt?
Yeah. So all this discussion happens
in a matter of a few seconds. So he's either just made contact
with Schmidt or it's been like half a second since he's made
contact with Schmidt. OK, so we're gonna have the the
40 foot cone not touch Schmidt, but hit like try to hit Calvin
and Venom off. OK, And if the child who's
hiding is caught in the code that he's caught in the code,
this is. Flamethrower.
What is this? Flamethrower, yeah.
OK, even though it's been a couple weeks for us, Solely is
still exhausted. Yeah, it's been not enough time
to recover from that. So I'm going to give them
advantage on their saves. The DC-14 decks.
OK, so Venomoth is above you so. Who are you talking to?
Get? I'm sorry.
Yeah, that also Calvin and Venom.
I mean Venomoth is like the main target.
OK. 40 foot cone though, right? It is a 40 foot cone.
Because Venomoth over 40 feet above Calvin.
No, but Calvin is. Soli's going to have to walk
right up next to Calvin, basically, which I guess works,
but yeah, sure. Yeah.
We don't have a map, so that's fine.
Not it's Venomoth is not 40 feet above, but it's above.
Like Calvin is horizontal to you all and Venomoth is vertical to
you all. If you aim a Calvin, you're
shooting a cone straight out. You're not in the air.
You it's not a Dome, it's a cone just directly in front of you.
Or if you aim at venomalts, it would be directly above you, but
it's not gonna hit Calvin on the way in.
That's not how cones work. Cones are like triangular ish so
it goes out. I guess I'm confused on the
which part of the cone is 40 feet?
It's like the length of it. Yeah.
The. Circle part at the bottom of the
cone about how big are we talking?
Oh gosh. Because that's the part I
thought was. 40D. Yeah, What is D&D math?
It's definitely the distance, because you're supposed to be
thinking about it vertically, like from a bird's eye view,
like that's the 40 foot cone. But as far as the diameter of a
40 foot cone, I don't know. Let me see.
I'm sure someone's asked this question before.
The cone extends in a width equal to its length.
OK. So it's 40 feet by 40 feet.
Yep, That's crazy. So, yeah, So Soli, I think in
through the arena trap right now, too.
If we're going to assume that Roltz is in the middle of this
battlefield, can Soli get far enough back?
Yes. Soli is going to be kind of on
the edge of the arena trap. She's going to have to go 25
feet according to my brain and my map.
Does that make sense? Can we agree with that?
OK, so let's say does she want to go east or West?
Doesn't really matter. No, she has to go West because
she has to. She OK, Math Solo's going to
move 25 feet West and then cast flying through in a 40 foot cone
enough to hit Calvin and solely and precisely not hit Schmidt.
You're going to hit Schmidt. There's no way you don't.
OK, we get DC-14 deck safe with advantage.
OK, yeah. Are you ready, Schmidt?
Friendly fire. Have to OK.
You have advantage. Then a moth passes and the
Calvin does not. Calvin's getting burnt, Schmidt.
What'd you get? My answer I I I think you
failed, right? Yeah.
It's advantage. Yeah, humans.
I've been I've been calculating human.
Damage should be half that's. Correct, but Schmidt's been
taking some damage so I'm a little worried about him.
Right now so. So for all your damage.
So it's 17 damage OK on a fail. So anybody who failed or any
Pokémon who failed 17 damage. OK.
Yeah. So.
So it's half that for Schmidt. And Venomoth passed, but it's
super effective, so it's gonna be 17.
Also, if you failed by 5 or more, you're burned.
Did you fail by 5 or more? Yeah, OK.
Cool. Is burned stack on?
Poison or. It's because it's D and DI Think
we're going to stack it, I think.
I think Schmidt needs a hospital.
What? What kind of berries do I have?
Hopefully with math real quick at the 17, are we rounding up or
down? We round down.
Right down, OK. So that's 88 guy.
Schmidt has 12 HP and he's burned in poison.
Yeah, he's. Oceans.
But those are from Pokémon. Cindy does have berries.
I don't know if she has a Berry that heals poisoning or burned.
OK, Calvin did fail, but not by 5 or more.
But he's going to take that full damage and he's hurt.
He has burns not not doing well. Also Quackos Paralyzed.
Yeah, that too. That's the world that we live
in. Is there anything else for
Cindy? I shouldn't, can I?
I feel like at the very beginning I was given like a
Berry bag but it wasn't like determined what was in it unless
we did. I definitely did.
I do have two lumberries that I know.
I have a lumber Ross and orange. Yeah, I have a Lumberry.
I can actually cure and heal them with technical.
I think we all have a Lumberry because my turn's coming up next
and I can eat it. OK, because I wouldn't.
Be able to do anything else because Quacko's paralyzed and I
got a role for that? Cool.
OK, Cindy's turn is done. She does like finger guns, like
God he. Said oh.
Wow. OK, after we did all that
agreeing today. I was trying to hurt Calvin.
What? The.
Hell hurt he is. You used your super tired 9
tails. He really deserves a break.
I'm. Giving her one of our allies.
I'm not used to for every other encounter, but I needed more
spread to hit the Venomoth too. OK, I want LD to make an
intelligence check for Key Lime before we move on to the next
turn because Key Lime's out here and I don't believe that Key
Lime would just do nothing. Right, I agree, Key Lime's
pretty smart. Yes, Key Lime's the smartest
Pokémon. That you guys know.
I rolled a 13. OK.
I think that's enough for Key Lime to do something on its own
that it might intuit from LED. So I want to backtrack the
initiative just a little bit to give Key Lime a thing.
OK, I'm going to have Key Lime go for a confusion.
Onto the moth. OK, 19.
That will hit. Let's go, OK.
Let's go 11. Hold up.
Yes, I'm confused on initiative order.
Yeah, you are next, Schmidt. We had LED, but I feel like I
backed up because I felt like all this stuff happening, Key
Lime should be able to do something and I just didn't
address that first. You're going to go for Key Lime?
Does that make sense? OK, that is super effective by
the way. It is super effective, yes.
So. Double does it not resist?
It is not. I was missing oak sucks remember
no it. Does not does suck on.
The I literally looked it up just in case.
I was like, I don't think it does.
But so double your dice. Ogg yeah.
That's 17 damage. Nice.
Yeah, Venomoth gets pretty rattled.
It's not doing well. It took two super effective
attacks, still flying, still floating around ready to drop
some spores, but still out there.
And Key Lime is just kind of like ready to intuit more.
You have to make more intelligence checks unless LD
breaks free and can give commands.
OK, it's Schmidt time. This is the most hurt that
Schmidt's been in, like, ever. It's Schmidt sign.
Calvin is also very hurt. Calvin also needs a hospital, I
think. Yeah, how hurt is Calvin?
He big chunk of his body got pretty badly burned.
His shirt is on fire. He's just.
Terrible. Yes, Alan burned as well.
Yes he is struggling as well. You would like you would be in a
similar situation if it wasn't that you were also poisoned.
His grip on you is certainly loosened after being hit by 9
tails. He's he's a little bit more in
self preservation mode. OK, if we had to guess Calvin's
HP like if you had. To give me like green, yellow,
red, low yellow, OK. A I'm going to give Calvin my
lumbery. Wow.
Bubble. OK.
Cool. Just a note, we've never
established previously if berries work on people, we know
that humans consume berries, but do their effects work?
I'm going to make the call and say yes now for narrative
reasons. So we're going to stick to it.
We're going to say that perhaps they're like less effective or
maybe people generally need more of the berries.
Like we're not going to Calvin's is not going to eat that Berry
and feel fine. He's going to have burnt skin,
but we'll say that he's like not dehydrated and that he's not
like, I don't know. You just want to get him out of
in danger of dying. Yes, and that would do it.
We're going to say that does does everyone vibe with that?
Is that OK? Because if we're going to do
this now, we just stick to it. I'm good with.
Vibes. Yeah, yeah.
Berries. Just like how Pokémon attacks do
moderately less damage to people, people get moderately
less effects from berries. I'm not going to say that
potions work. I'm not going to go that far.
Then. Then then you have Neosporin,
you know what I'm saying? So yeah, OK.
Schmidt feeds the Berry to Calvin, who is struggling, and
he sees it kind of like he obviously receives it because he
needs to feel better. And he does feel a little bit
better. And he's definitely not trying
to kill Schmidt right now because he hurts a lot.
Anything else for Schmidt? You want to roll for Quacko to
break free. Yeah.
Oh my God, yeah.
What's the check I have to make on that?
I think this turns 13. Next turn will be 12.
No, this turns 12. Next turn will be 11.
On what's that con? OK, I rolled the six.
The sun spore is very effective. Venomoth is doing.
Schmidt already made an action, but can I request that he just
like, grabs Quacko the paralyzed Quacko and just lays down?
Sure. OK.
Yeah, that is how I end my turn. Yeah, OK, Gimli.
Well, I do want to hand Schmidt off my lumbery.
OK. Is is that possible?
He's laying on the ground, right?
Now you can just you'll probably just put it in his mouth.
Yeah, yeah. But yeah, there you go.
Yeah, you can do that. Does.
That help connect the poison and the burn like how does stacking
that work? I think it should, yeah, I.
Believe his HP is still low, he still like feels bad but it
definitely helps. The poison burn is tricky
because it's like if you're burned you're burnt kind of like
it's not going to magically cure but he feels better about it.
Yes. OK, that's fine.
So. Just to keep myself honest, did
Schmidt take any like poison damage during his turn?
The we technically just started initiative and yeah, I'm going
to say no, say no, OK all. Right now we got a first I'll do
lasagna smack down onto Venom off to stop his ring.
Very cool. Oh my God.
OK, there's a 12 hit. Does not.
Dang. OK, so we're just going for Rap
Blast with Trevor then. My rules have been terrible.
It's hard to hit Venemauts flitting around.
It's also not very big, so Smackdown missing isn't
impossible. There's a 15 hit, 15 just barely
hits. OK, so.
Rock damage. We double the dice, right?
Yep. How many rocks first?
Just two. OK.
Then we do. 212120 points of rock type damages. 2 rocks
pummel into Venomoth, shaking it.
It's all shaken up, it's flittering, gets weaker,
however, is still hanging on, just by a little bit.
OK. I believe that's it for Gimli.
Yep. OK, the we're back to the top so
that we're going to call them the baddies.
The kids who witnessed 9 tail scorch up their leader are done.
They they quit. They're dragging their their
paralyzed friends just as close to the end of the orientrap as
they can. And they are like very scared
and they want to go home and see their parents and tell them
about the criminals that captured them.
And Calvin, what's Calvin going to do?
He's going to, he's going to run over and join them.
He's, he's a little bit bigger than any other kid.
So he's going to help carry the kids who are paralyzed.
This really does look like a terrible crime scene.
They're, they're, they're very much struggling right now.
And they're, they're trying to leave.
Yes. Can I make a call out or do I
need to wait for my turn? Let's hear it.
I just want to call out to LED to tell what to put the irena
trap away. LED is paralyzed, OK.
I cannot do anything, I am sorry.
Yeah, maybe When this comes around then a moth is still in
go mode. However not going to drop
spores. I think that a moth is going to
whip up a gust to strike Key Lime, who seems like a big
threat. So does a 14 hit.
Yes, yes, that does. OK, dealing the maximum amount
of damage from August 15 Points of flying type damage in the Key
Lime as a little tiny little tornado whips it around.
Or maybe Key Lime with the ninjas trying to flee but they
can't. I believe it's LED now.
LED. Can you break free?
Let's find out. I rolled the 15.
Yay, LED can now give commands. OK.
Yeah, I think I will recall Key Lime here.
OK. Just full recall.
Yeah. OK, you do that.
And as you do that, there are no more hostile targets.
So the initiative has ended. They're on their way out, they
are a little terrified, having a straight up not a good time, but
they're already away from you. Does the party do anything?
Is Sam still paralyzed? Let's find out.
There's a chance she's not. She she is able to get up here
and she's trying to undo her bound wrists.
I'll I'll help her undo them. OK, cool.
Yeah, you do that. Yeah.
Well I I also have bound wrists if you could help me out here.
Yeah, I gotcha. Thank you.
That's what it's like.
Schmidt just laying on the ground with a paralyzed quacko
and everybody's like, let's go help Sam.
Is Cracko going to be OK? Does Cracko need anything?
Let's go check on them. Maybe a snack?
Cracko can roll. You can also give him a cherry
bear or something. Cracko also, like, I don't know,
let's take a little bit of damage too.
Like you still had this damage tacked on from the scarmory
fight? Yeah.
Well, there are. We're in a town so I'm sure
there's a Pokémon Center. Are we in a town?
We're. Out of town yet we're very.
Close. Never mind.
Sorry. They were still in the route.
You're 28. Down Schmidt is also like, yeah,
laying on the ground, like just out.
You are very close to the one house that exists on this route.
Oh God, all right, well, I gotta.
Smith's pretty injured, I gotta pick him up 'cause someone
decided to light him on fire, so I'll probably.
He won. I don't know that emotionally we
did win. I.
Think. Emotionally, we lost, yeah.
Yeah, the party's in a bad place, really.
I returned solely. OK, solely's glad to be back
resting again. Why do we always have to like
capture the the person that like assaults us?
Why can't? We listen.
I just, I was trying to do a nice thing.
I was like, they're, you know, we should tell their parents.
If they escaped, realistically, I'm gonna be honest, they were
gonna ambush us anyway. With Calvin, it didn't change
like we were walking this path and like Calvin, it was destined
an encounter for Calvin to show up.
All right. So I do agree with you, yeah,
taken like otherwise, but this time I don't think it was the
case. Well, now we're going to walk
into town and everyone's going to be like, those are the people
that assaulted our children, you know, like to be fair.
Everything we did was in self-defense.
They did jump us first. Yeah, but they're children.
After we also defeated them, we captured them in an arena trap
and forced them to come with us. Because they were going to just
get. Into more trouble.
Right. And you're their parent, and
you're the judge of that. That's fair.
What if their parents are ninjas?
That would be so funny. What if they're doing exactly?
What they do? The whole town is Schmidt.
'S lying on the ground coughing. Gimle's carrying him.
Yeah. Is is Quacko unparalyzed?
I don't. He never made the role, I think.
Didn't we discuss berries or? Yeah, there's the berries.
And like with enough time, like Quacko can snap out of it for
sure. If since you guys are out of
combat, it's like, yeah, you can just give him a massage or
something. He'll be fine.
Schmidt is still holding Quaco very close.
Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.
You're about halfway through Route 113.
Arbor Town is insight. The first thing you see is a
series of gardens. You have to do a little bit more
walking. Not saying you're going to face
encounter, but it's yeah, there's a little bit more to go.
We're not stopping at the rest house or.
It's just a random person's house a lot to us.
Well, I think we have to ask her if we can.
Someone who's burned and poisoned there's.
A town right here, is there not? It's like over the horizon and
he's burned. We gotta at least ask.
OK. OK, it's a person burned.
Like what are we not understanding about this?
Just if you heard him, Chitos broke a ball and he'll make the
dream. Yeah, what do you understand?
This house does have a sign. It says Johanna's refuge.
Cindy knocks on the door. OK.
Cindy's taking a little bit of responsibility for her actions.
Little bit. Just a little.
Just enough to knock on the door.
Opening the door is a middle-aged woman who use assume
is Johanna. She says, oh travellers, I love
guests. Come in, let me make you some
tea. That would.
Be great, OK? We have a few friends with us
and I kind of point to everybody.
Yeah, we might need a little more than.
Tea, she says. Oh, I've been known to provide
medical services. Let me see who's hurt.
That's one in my hands, right? Yeah.
Can we get a can we get a a visual on like how is Gimli,
Carrie Schmidt? Yeah, true.
Is it like baby style or is? It like, oh, it's yeah, no, it's
it's baby style. OK, it's really funny because I
think Schmidt is actually twice Gimli size.
Yeah. Yeah, that's perfect.
Yeah. Hands him over.
Yeah. I'm.
I'm going to make a strength check, actually.
Yeah, she she owns it. Johanna's like, oh, poor baby
boy. Oh, you'll be fine.
And she, like, strokes Schmidt's hair and gets a little bit messy
and she carries him inside and she says you, you all can
follow. And she invites you in.
She immediately lays Schmidt on a bed, applies some plank do to
him and to she has to access like a part of his chest that
got burned. She's like, is it OK if I touch
you here? Yes.
OK, she she does that. She feels under your shirt to
spread the ointment. It feels good.
It has a cooling sensation to it.
She says this is something that is produced from Lombre when
they shed their pads. We can cut open it, Lily pads
and that's we get a very nice little topical solution and
she's she's rubbing it and you feel pretty good.
You feel like you probably see some rest now.
She says, can I get you all a meal?
Can I cook for you? Can I, can I do anything for
you? Admittedly, it's a very nice
little cabin. It's a familiar Hoenn architect,
clearly, who did it. It starts with like a main foyer
area that connects to a kitchen. And then it seems like there's
some lodging, like this is kind of a bed and breakfast.
There's no travellers visiting right now, except for Johanna,
who lives here, and she has a little upstairs lofts area.
OK. Schmidt pulls out his last Mulu
milk that he got from his mom and just start sipping it.
OK, roll me. Roll D20.
Oh, no, the milk is fine. 1818. Yeah.
Schmidt misses his mom. And he cries a little.
He's a little nostalgic. Yeah, it's just a little bit.
He's he's he's, you know, holding back a little bit, but
he misses. So she, she took care of him and
she gave him these milks. And it's the last milk, and
they're very good. Yeah.
I want. 2D12 HPA correct? I'm going to say 1D12 because
it's a person, OK? I get 5.
Nice you're feeling better for sure.
I want one person to make a perception check.
I'll do it. That's.
Not Schmidt. OK.
Yes, Cindy. Oh no.
Love that. Perceptions plus one.
That's a nine. It's a nine.
You notice that Schmidt's milk bottle has a really cute label
on it that has like a picture of a cow Pokémon.
That's cute. There's some text on it, but you
don't read it because you don't read it.
Yeah. And Johanna is offering to some
hospitality. Do you?
Do you accept? That sounds great.
OK, yeah, She asks. Is anyone here a vegetarian?
No, I'm definitely. Not Nope.
No. You guys better have had this on
your character sheets the whole time because you.
Knew this was going to come up. She says great, tonight I'm
serving some slowpoke tail fillet, so I hope you enjoy.
And it's true, she serves up some little pink steaks that
have like a a delicious little Berry drizzle glaze on them.
And it serves some fresh vegetables and oh.
This is lovely. Yeah, she whips it up.
You know, it takes like half an hour and you're all just resting
and relaxing the whole time. The sun is, the sun is starting
to set. There's still soot falling
outside like rain, but it's overall just a very quiet time.
It's very pleasant. Good to have a little bit of a
brief. Yeah, a little bit of a
reprieve. If there's nothing else you do
with your nights, you may go to sleep.
She is just entertaining you and she offers books and stuff and
magazines. But if I would want to make sure
everyone gets their checks in before we just say long rest,
like is there anything that you may want to ask?
Johanna ask about maybe other travelers that have passed
through. Sure.
Since Cindy's parents were at the beginning of the first
drought, we went through the beginning of the desert.
Yeah, let me roll history for her.
It's a 14, she says. Oh, well, I, I get a lot of
travelers around here are who are you asking about?
Do you? Do you volunteer?
More information. I provide a picture.
Oh yeah. I still have that picture.
She looks at the picture. He says, We get a lot of couples
that come through here. They definitely didn't stay
here. But I want to say I saw two
people who look just like this here just two weeks ago.
They were, they're walking through the route and they they
had a they had a pep in their step.
They were off to, to go see someone or do something, I'm not
sure. And she hands you back the
picture. Thanks.
Because of course, this is a pretty slow route here on 1/13.
So I usually just sit at the window and, and watch the soot
fall. It's very calming.
My, my partner who's away right now, he's a master of Flute
Smith. So if you, we often have
travelers who come here and pick up soot sacks from us and they
just run around in the, in the leaves and, and collect as much
as they can and they come back and we, we've fashioned these
flutes for them. And she shows you a cabinet of
flutes that are made from soot. It's very interesting.
They come in a variety of colors.
Very cool, she. Says yes sometimes they have not
magical they have mystical effects on Pokémon that hear
them. She says I'd be happy to give
you Soot sack if you'd like and you can collect for yourself or
in purchase one directly from me.
I do have to make money here somehow of.
Course. How much are the the Blues?
Yeah, how? Much.
She says, well, they vary in price.
I can get you a blue flute for 25, a red flute for 50A, yellow
flute for 50, or a black or white flute for 100.
I can tell you more about them if you're curious.
I am curious. Yes, she says.
Great. They're very fragile, so you
have to be very careful with them.
But the Blue Flute, the rumor has it that it tends to wake any
sleeping Pokémon. The Red Flute can cure a Pokémon
who has been unrightfully infatuated with another Pokémon,
he says. The Yellow Flute, if you play a
tune with it, it will snap a Pokémon out of confusion.
The Black Flute will make it so that wild Pokémon are less
likely to encounter you, and the opposite is true of the White
Flute. I'll take the black flute.
Great. That'll be 100 pokey dollars.
Please, absolutely. Just thank you very much.
You are now in position of a black flute and.
We'll take the yellow flute. That will be 75, please.
Nope, Just kidding, 50. That'll be 50.
OK. Cool, thank you very much, she
says. She's very pleased, she said.
I'm assuming you would like to stay here or are you going to
continue your journey to Fall Arbor?
I think we should let our friend here rest especially and we've
had a pretty rough day so. Yeah, we'll spend the night if
that's all right. He says by all means, anything
else you want to do or ask of her before you long rest?
I don't think so. I want to hear from everyone.
Schmidt is crying with a milk bottle on his mouth.
Yeah, that's true. I'd like to, if I can, briefly
talk to Sam. Sure is this.
Will we turn in? Do you want to pull her aside or
do you is it OK if the party members hear this?
Not like it's. Kind of everybody, yeah.
I mean like it's a private conversation, but like I'm not
like going to another room or something.
OK. Yeah, you can talk with her.
Hi, Ellie. I haven't talked to you in a
while. Just gonna go up to her and be
like Sam. I just wanted to apologize for
my perhaps abrasive behavior these past couple days.
I might have jumped to some incorrect conclusions about your
involvement with with NRG back when we were in Jagged Pass.
Her eyes kind of light up and she says, oh, Ellie, that's so
sweet for you to say. Thank you.
Yeah, don't worry about it. I've, I've spent enough time
with you all. I I know the content of your
character. And she gives you a nice smile.
Ellie D Role Perception. Gotcha, awesome, I rolled a 21.
OK, quick pull aside. Oh, what the?
OK, as you are talking to Sam and she is smiling at you
nicely, there's a window outside and you're having a little
discussion and you just notice out at the corner of your eye,
your eye you see off in the distance, probably about 40
feet, 50 feet away with the sun setting, the evening glow
arising, There is a pair of reddish feline eyes that are
looking in the window from a little ways out.
Sam's back is to the wall so she does not see this.
And we may, we may return to the room.
Any who with that we can all go to bed.
Everyone's content. Yeah. 11 more thing is that are
they growing berries around the this house or in the house or
anything? Not in the house.
There are wild berries in the forest for sure.
Without. OK.
But they're not like growing any specifically here.
There's berries in a jar. They remind you of your family's
berries. They may, in fact, very well be.
They're used for cooking and stuff, nothing growing.
OK, that's fine. OK, ready for bed.
