Thread: [PTU] Pokémon: Unbound Adventures

Caitlyn smiles and gives a slight wave to Mercy as the poor girl is tugged over to the pond with the others. The Octillery only stops once the scientist-to-be is in the general vicinity of the others, then releases her wrist, turns to her, and huffs in a breath. Tillery, oct, octi, octillery, it tells her, as though lecturing, then it points to the others -- all at the same time thanks to its many tentacles -- and nods decisively. Suri, meanwhile, quite literally has her hands full with her adorable blue friend. Blu, it answers her, kicking its little feet in the air and seemingly trying to peck her once or twice more before realising it couldn't quite reach, so it just squirms in her hands. The kiss leaves it fluttering its wings some, and eyeing Suri closely. Tini! Dratini exclaims at Vika's touch, and it momentarily drops right back into the water, seemingly caught by surprise. However, a moment later the two fins and the top of its blue head poke up, then, its eyes, staring at her. It lets out a garbled noise from the water. Even still, it had been smooth to the touch, and damp, like one might expect. It must not be used to people yet, Caitlyn comments to Vika, while meanwhile, Meg finally comes to her senses. Hey, quit splashing me! Meg exclaims to the Axew, who only makes it start splashing her more rapidly--pinwheeling both arms to unleash a torrent of water, but given the general recklessness of it, it ends up splashing anyone near too! Meg makes a face, calls Fine then! and immediately sweeps her arm through the water to send a wave right back at it. Axew squeaks and tries to scramble out of the way but is doused again, and left grumbling, sputtering, and stomping its feet. Meg just sticks out her tongue. Kyle, meanwhile, is just crouching down near Deino, who returned to its spot to rest some more, and though he has a big grin on his face, for the moment, he isn't doing anything... until a sudden noise makes his head whip around. WHUMP! WHUMP! WHUMP! Three dull thuds, and a moment later, the very ground seems to shake, and the glass doors to the room rattle. It almost sounded like... an explosion! The lights in the hallway flicker, then die, then a second later the whole hall is cast in red emergency lighting. Meg and Axew's little splash war comes to an abrupt end, Caitlyn glances over, and it even startles Swablu, leaving it flapping and kicking to try and slip away from Suri--it likely spooks the young Eevee in Mercy's hands too. Footfalls of heavy boots are heard before they're seen--about three men dash passed the glass door heading from the opposite direction of the lobby, toward it. A fourth steps in front of the glass, pauses, then peers in. Immediately he waves to the others. In here! Told you! Black pants, black sleeved shirt, and a black mask is the identcal attire worn by all the men, and also shared amongst them is an odd... weapon of some sort. Which the man in front of the glass door uses the back of to smash it to bits with a loud crash! His boots crunch over the shards as he steps inside, as do the others with him, in the end it appears there are five. In all, the likely stunned trainers only have about 10 or 20 seconds to react to the men entering. And a few more seconds to the sight of each man raising one of those 'cannon' like weapons they hold--long silver tubes with a visible loading bay of sorts for cartridges on the far end, a small grip, and a trigger. 'Fwoom! Fwoom! FwoFwoom! ... Fwoom!' A compressed-air like discharge noise sends several 'globs' of an offwhite substance hurling through the air toward five of the trainers in the room--glue guns. Most shots are aimed low, and a hit would see the glue splattering legs, and making them stick together, making it exceeding hard to walk! ... Except for poor Meg, who gets nailed right in the face. The force makes her splash back into the water, and her hands dunk under to join it--her legs kicking, flailing in the air, splashing in the water. Caitlyn squeaks as she's hit in the side from her crouched position, and tumbles over onto the grass, one of her legs awkwardly bent and pinned against one of her arm. AH! HELP! bOOCb Boom. AC8 status attack vs. each of you. On hit, you are slowed movement halved. A second hit when you are slowed means you are stuck and trapped! Mercy -- 10 Vika -- 9 Suri -- 3 As 3 is less than the base of 8, Suri is automatically missed. If 8 plus your speed evasion exceeds the roll against you so 10 for Vika, 11 for Mercy, you are missed as well. As a DM, I like making rolls in the open. That said, I think this site I quickly found tonight should do for a good online roller. I'll send you all a PM with a link to the room. InitiatveWe'll say it's you then them for sake of ease here, and cause I found that works well in play-by-post. So it is your turn, post in any order. CommandsThese Pokemon aren't officially yours yet, but you may now take the reigns. They are at Loyalty 1, which means it'll take a DC8 command check to order them I believe you all have at least 2d6 last I checked. After this scene, they will go to Loyalty 3 I think it is, the usual 'starter default' and no commands will be needed thereafter. Selini doesn't technically have a starter here, so she may command Octillery or her Eevee, but I don't think Mercy would ask the youngin' to help. Granted, this all assumes you're gonna fight. If you're gonna try to talk it out, feel free to make the appropriate rolls. If you miss the command check, you can still have your character call commands and such well they'd have to just don't post the Pokemon's actions. And FWIW, Meg, Caitlyn, and Kyle will be making these checks also. Selini, Octillery knows Constrict, Water Gun, and Octazooka. For this, just use the base damage rolls. QuestionsAsk each other, or poke me in the OOC thread linked in the first post given the lack of easy way to contact me right now given technology showing me how much it loves me.
