Pokémon Things get Dicey - Interactive PMD D&D story!

[K_S]

So our cover stories if we wrangle with the plwers that be are the croagunk is a traveling gymnist we're ah escorting? Poppolios his musical back up... And blipbug kinda showed up one night and wouldnt go away? No wait hes the troups writer... Thatll pass off the book.

And we are the bouncer because one of the threes popular and we gotta ward off fangirls?

 

[Kandykorn]

Time to yell and wake up the rest of the cast and maybe close with the closest archer.

(I'm in a sharing mood. Wakey wakey)

<18>

You cry out to the rest of the cast, and they spring up, dazed and confused. You quickly explain the situation.

And just because I feel like taking a guess now, the Popplio is a bard who is clearly just the greatest person ever based on instrument choice, the Croagunk is a rogue that will pocket everything and sell it to the rest of the party, and the Blipbug is a Wizard who will be using Mage Hand a lot

They all nod, realising that, Hey, you're right!

"Name's Jewel!" The Popplio smiles. You remember her voice as the girl in the yellow dress.

"Carmen." The Croagunk says gruffly. She was the goth.

"Harold!" The blip bug says. He was probably the nerdy one with the suspenders. "Do you know what's happened to us? I am a human. not a blipbug!"

You go to explain what little you know about the situation, and share your very random but also badass name, when another arrow whizes by.

> We're being ambushed and everyone is chilling? WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK ARE YOU ALL PLAYING AT
> Berserker State Engage: Wake everyone up

You yell in rage about probably needing to attack, and soon!

"Attack?" Jewel asks.

"Yes." Harold says. "Obviously we've been 'sucked into the game' as it were. To get out, we probably have to beat it."

"Nerd." Carmen scoffs.

You also come up with a subpar cover story in case you do get caught. You're proud of it, but

<4>

The other members of your party hate it.

"Why can't I be the popstar?" Harold asks.

"Why do I have to travel with Harold? he smells!" Jewel cries out.

"I hate the gym." Carmen admits.

in the background, initiative is casually rolled.

Harold <20>
Sableye 1 <18>
Bernerrio <16>
Sabeleye 2 <16>
Carmen <7>
Jewel <2>

Harold looks down at his gigantic spellbook, and grins slightly, before casting a spell to try and disarm an enemy!

<6>

Unfortunately, Harold cannot open the book to the right page by himself, as he is too small and weak, and the book so big and heavy! Under his breath, he curses "Stupid 7e's stupid casting rules..."

Sabeleye 1 attempts to shoot Harold.

<15>

and successfully does so, striking him on the shoulder! The arrow is small, and seems to do a miniscule amount of damage, but Harold still looks really hurt for no reason.

What do you do, player?

 

[Meridian]

> Charge the next Sabeleye to attack, and try and get them locked in a grapple!

 

[kintsugi]

> put these newfound muscles to use! help Harold by holding the book open for him! nakama

 

[K_S]

Meh somone else can flip the pages. Since sableeyes are non-physical i vote we use our axe to sheer through the bows starting with whatever archers closest.

 

[FauxFox]

Charge the Sableye archers in a blind rage!

 

[Kandykorn]

> put these newfound muscles to use! help Harold by holding the book open for him!

<19>

As a bonus action, you run over to Harold and help him open up his book! Harold looks at you and smiles, knowing he can finally use magic on his next turn.

Charge the Sableye archers in a blind rage!

i vote we use our axe to sheer through the bows starting with whatever archers closest.

Charge the next Sabeleye to attack, and try and get them locked in a grapple!

<12>

You do so, running at the closest samurai while entering rage! You swing your axe at him, and...

<18>

You smack him in the head! The sabeleye immediately falls down, presumably dead. The other sabeleye tries to punch you in a fit of rage!

<13>

But barely misses! You wonder to yourself why it didn't shoot at you with it's bow and arrow, but it seems that

<20>

Carmen was so sneaky that they stole it without anyone noticing! They then fire it at the sabeleye!

<14>

And hit it! the sableye Screams out in pain. "If I die, tell my evil wife and kids I love them!"

"Wife and kids?" Jewel asks. "Guys I don't know if I can do this."

"Come on Jewel!" Harold protests. "He literally said they were evil!"

"I'm indifferent." Carmen sighs. "It's a three way tie on what we should do."

"Bernarrio, what do you think?" Jewel asks.

 

[FauxFox]

I haven't recently read up on the 7e rules, but are nonlethal attacks still an option?

Because if so, we knock the Sableye out and see if we can turn them in at the guard station equivalent of the next town we find ourselves in. Then we don't have to kill anyone, but we can still do something about these bandits.

 

[Meridian]

> attempt to intimidate the sableye into telling you why they're attacking your group
> really its the little guy's choice as to whether he wants to go home to his wife and kids or have us tell him he chose death

 

[K_S]

You all are too soft. We've raged right? I vote we off him and bypass all this pesky socialization since we're likely ticked off at the universe right now...

I mean sableeyes are ghosts... How could they biologically even...

Anyways. I vote the blighters lying and we axe him. If he wants to keep carrying on he can book it and we dont chase him as a middle ground.

 

[Kandykorn]

> attempt to intimidate the sableye into telling you why they're attacking your group
> really its the little guy's choice as to whether he wants to go home to his wife and kids or have us tell him he chose death

You square up, brandishing your axe, and attempting to intimidate the poor sabeleye

<4>

"Hah!" the Sableye laughed. "My wife would leave me if she found out I surrendered to the likes of you!"

"Well that didn't work." Carmen sighed.

Because if so, we knock the Sableye out and see if we can turn them in at the guard station equivalent of the next town we find ourselves in. Then we don't have to kill anyone, but we can still do something about these bandits.

"On it!" Jewel salutes, and begins to play a lullaby on her saxaphone. The sableye seems to fall asleep, but honestly you cant tell because the poor thing hasn't closed it's eyes. You glance up at the stone tower in front of you as your allys tie the sableye up.

This might be a long day...

 

[FauxFox]

We should check out that tower, it might provide a good vantage point to see our next destination.

 

[K_S]

I say we climb that puppy breath of the wild style. Hardcore parkore that.tower like it offended the team.
