As Tomas explored the forest the night before going on the small journey, he meets his old friend Gastly. Speaking to it for a while, telling it your leaving makes it float around your head sadly.

After a while you ask it to follow you and it floats happily waving his tongue around. He had such a happy smile and a small gold ring appeared around the Gastly.

You have 1 Bond with Gastly.

After that Night you go off onto the road to the city through town. Using the little money your Parent's can spare, you buy a bag with a bed roll, a week of rations, and you have 100 gp left.

As you go to the edges of town, you have two ways to leave to the big city. a path through many larger cities far apart on the large main trade road. The other a smaller road between small villages with a few mountain passes that would have been shorter...

A: Main road.
B: Dirt Road.

>>22308934
Let's take the scenic route! A.

You walk to the longer curving road down into the distance and start walking with Gastly invisible above your head. Much of the day is spent simply walking and while stopping for lunch on the side of the road you hear something coming from one of the farmsteads.

A: Go check it out.
B: Ignore it, none of your business.

As you go to check out the small farm house you see a burst of Fire coming from the other side with two men fighting.

One has a large sword, and is swinging it widely as he battles the other man. Missing nearly every swing.

The other man has no weapon and is rather old looking. He is tossing different small things. Making small balls of fire on his fingers and tossing them like baseballs at the other man missing quiet a few and charring the earth.

No pokemon are in Sight.

What do you do?

A: Help the old guy!

As you run closer, seeing the fight you have Gastly bump the old man back onto his rear and jumping in front of the Warrior. The men are greatly surprised about this and look at you in surprise.

"Get out of the way you stupid boy! This man will murder you just as he is attempting to kill me!" The old man shouted as the warrior rose his sword again.

"For Baron Lardron!" He shouted again about to swing again.

With Rightous fury you try and tackle the larger man and hit him around the middle as the old man was able to get back up.

The warrior throws you with great force at the wall before the Old Man hits him in the chest with a lightning bolt launching him across a large field.

Getting up, you had the Wind knocked out of you holding your chest as you get up.

"Boy...thank you for distracting that Boarish Oaf. He claimed my loyalty to the crown was the signing of my death warrent from Baron Lardron. Fool, there is no Baron here or anywhere. "

After a while he looks at his house which ahs a huge hole in it. "Not as bad as I thought it should have been..."

"I am a Wizard, though I retired years ago from the road I knew a few things to take care of myself." He said with a grin sitting down in the back yard on a log around a pit of stone. "If you had the Aptatude you might be able to learn. It'd take a very long time though. And a lot of hard work."
>>22310118
"I don't know what the man was talking about. And He is most likely dead." Shrugging a bit, "If you go take it from his corpse you can have the sword."

We don't have either of those things. Lot the body for the sword and signs of identification, maybe a letter or perhaps a royal seal somewhere on his person.

"So would I...the fool burst into my barn as I was checking on a stock of supplies in my barn when I was attacked."
>>22310337
He sees Gastly as you walk to the body. Seems he had his spell down pretty damn well. He destroyed the man nearly completely and the only thing left was a leather helm on his head.

Taking it off and resting it on your head, it's a decent fit and it even is comfy.

What now?

>>22310398
Because they are fickle and we must offer them a sacrifice.

>>22310418

We ask Ghastly if he (she?) sees the spirit of the death knight around here. Continue on your path otherwise.

Wait. He destroyed the sword? The steel, extremely durable, sword? We need to apprentice to this guy.

You introduce yourself and shake his hands nodding to him. You soon part ways going down the road wearing your leather helmet.

You walk until nightfall and set up your small bedroll in a small clearing off the road. Making a small fire you have Gastly stay up through the night, invisibly of course, as you sleep.

You allow it to run into the forest and Gastly laughs a bit at it wagging it's tongue at it.

Getting up you walk down the road for a while, even stopping for lunch with little interruptions and come to see, in the far distance what looks like a tower. Along the road you also see a trade caravan in the distance.

You could probably catch up with it if you jogged for a while. Or just not approach them as they went.


A: Just walk alone.
B: Try to catch up.

>>22310733

Walk with and try to learn more about the area

>>22310719
With Ghastly's help we could detect and find them. They're a less common type, but the best thing about them is that they have very few weaknesses overall, and fewer things that their attacks are ineffective against. I say we need like a vulpix for a non-psychic though.

As you catch up to the caravan you see a single cart. On a few Ponytas around it have a few men in light armor with a few spears and the cart being ridden by the an fat man with a tarp covering the wares.

You stay a bit behind with a few of the men in the back watching you carefully on their Ponytas.

Greet them peaceably, making sure Gastly doesn't spook them into attacking. Ask if we could perhaps browse their wares; we do have some coins, after all, and it might behoove us to get something to protect ourselves with (maybe a dagger?). Or medicine, or... well, anything useful, really.

>>22311145
No. We'll get what we need honestly. And besides, suppose the guards, of whom their are several, take us as a threat? What if we're mistaken for a bandit, and get some "frontier justice"?

They're not likely to get too bothered by gastly, they're trained warriors, able to fight against man and PokeMon alike. We are too outmatched here.

We might not fail the theft, no, but I don't think we'll escape the consequences later down the line.

Behavior

As a Ghost-type Pokémon, Gastly tend to be pranksters that go scaring people just for the fun of it. They are also proficient at sneaking up on unsuspecting prey and putting it to sleep or poisoning it through their skin. As Gastly's body is blown away by wind, groups of them gather under the eaves of houses to prevent being blown away.

We could put them all to sleep.
Take what we want, and be gone.

"Hello!" You walk a bit closer and see someone on the Pokemon you recognized. The young man was an old friend from the local town. He went off when he went to go train to be a warrior.

"Tomas! It's Jim." He said smiling a bit as he moved a bit. "Come on up. I'll introduce you to Mister Sterling."

He leads you up to the fat man sitting on the cart and looks at you whipping off his chin from sweat.

"Jim, who is this? I have no interest in sharing my cart with anyone. No matter how much coin they have." He said pulling out a fan. He fans himself while looking at you and views the Gastly and grins.

"Ah...he seems interested in pokemon...How about a Trade? I have many a Rare pokemon for Sale." He taps the tarp with the fan. Making a light metal sound.

>>22311229
Yes, but they've already seen us. People WILL come after us.

>>22311229
*Cough* I don't normally support underhandedness...
But you could probably stay in camp with them and lift a few things...

>>22311236
"Apologies, but I'm not particularly interested in a trade at the moment. I hope you don't mind if I spend the time to catch up with Jim while I'm here, though."

>>22311236
Look for psychic pokemans

>>22311236
Depends on what he means by "trade". We have coins, but Gastly is our best bro, we won't go giving him away.

On the other hand, if he has a ghost PokeMon he'd be willing to sell us for coins, I think we should consider it; see how Gastly feels about it, too. After all, I see our relationship being more equal, rather than Master and Slave.

>>22311287
He said for sale. Not trade,

>>22311236
No thank you, I am quite fond of the pokemon in my possession. Might you have something else to sell, Mr. Sterling?

As you nod and smile looking over the pokemon you notice there are mostly pokemon of an 'exotic' nature. Some you've only heard about and others you've Never seen or heard tell of.

There are a few Sandiles from the eastern deserts, a small Sneasle from the northern mountains, and in the far back, closest to the fat man. You can see a small black and red pokemon hiding in the shadows sleeping...

>>22311448
... these are living breathing creatures... its the equivalent of shoplifting a dog...

Talk to Jim, see if this guy is on the up-and-up. If not, I think a camp of pokemon could do with liberation from their enslavers.

>>22308210
>Most of the time, one would have some sort of ride in a carage or had hoped onto the nearest merchent's carts for a small fee. But the Greens had little money to pay for it, and Tomas knew he always had a connection to Pokemon he met so he could probably bring one with him on the journey.

Anyone have any guesses what this is? I can't see it as anything other than a chibi Groudon after his earlier comment about rare pokemon.

Zorua fits that description.

And all these pokemon are at least part dark, save for Vulpix. I'm thinking of vulpix because it's good utility, a fire type, and ninetails has some crazy magical abilities...
But now there's Zorua.. that could be handy.

>>22311647
Use special skill at bonding with pokemon.
Look Zorua in the eye.
Plan to liberate it later./ Or.... Tell the man that it's your Zorua and that you had lost it.

>>22311714

With the update on our present funds, I like this idea best.

>>22311714
>>22311696
>>22311733
Roll D20.

I'll let you handle this.

(I kinda want Dranule to make some kind of plan.)

>>22311748
(OR...We can BLUFF CHECK him.)

Rolled 18

>>22311748
And that the proof is in its behavior.

Rolled 17

>>22311759
We have an invisible pokemon that the caravan doesn't know about, and Zorua are able to shapeshift. Perhaps if it likes us, when can break it free at night.

Rolled 47

If I get a nat 100, do we get it for free?

>>22311792
No, they saw it. that's why he offered to show us pokemon now. I'd prioritize Zorua... I'd like that Vulpix... But getting greedy is the undoing of a good thief.

What abnormally good rolls.

>>22311843
Well damn. Still, invisible is invisible.

>>22311878
This is a sign from the dice gods.

>>22311912
Our charisma is also 14. I think this is like to succeed.

>>22311792
>>22311806
As you look the pokemon in it's eyes a light blue aura surrounds it. You look at it giving a small wink.

"I'm sorry but, This is my Pokemon. He got lost a long ways away when I went on a trip to see family. If you don't mind I'll be taking him back." Tomas says firmly.

Sterling glares a bit, "How do you know it's your's. And why should I give it back?"

Jim looks at him and says, "My company does not take well to theives...if you don't give back someone's pokemon they lost it's stealing and...well We'll leave you to the bandits of the road."

The man pales and starts to sweat. "F-fine! Take your damn pokemon." He says looking pissed snapping his fingers to have Jim move the cage toward you and opening the lock.

The pokmeon looks you in the eyes smiling and moves to sit on your shoulder, it's a bit dirty and a even a bit skinny from being in the cage but other wise alright!

Anyone else get a warm fuzzy feeling?

>>22311933
Shouldn't our Cha be 17?

Rolled 72

How the fuck did that work?

>>22311967
Yes.

>>22311933
Pet our new companion, and maybe feed it some of our rations, since it's malnourished, and we simply have to do something about that.

>>22311933
Swap the Int and Cha!

Sterling doesn't like you that much but...he won't do anything to get the pokemon back. Jim even backed you up, what a bro.

What do you do now? You've been walking while talking and it's getting dark. You could continue into the night or camp near the Caravan.

>>22312010
Also, once we are sure the new one will be alright and is cool, we should make gastly is behaving. Then, chat with Jim; of course, needless to say, we must keep our ploy a secret.

>>22312033
Camp, chat with Jim.

By the way, do our PokeMon have names?

>>22312033
Chat with Jim, then leave before the jackass gathers his spine enough to try to get his shit back or demand some kind of finder's fee.

>>22312042

This plan is good

Rolled 10

>>22312033
Continue into the night. With a dark pokemon and a ghost, it's our friend.
We're also klike to run into pokemon that are akin to the dark.

Nickname Zorua, "Shadow."
Nickname Gastly, "Haunt."
(All that would agree?)

>>22312119
By the way, are we rolling out of 20 from now on?

>>22312069
You guys wanna name them?
Vote for names.

Stay with the caravan, safety in numbers and all. We should name our new Pokemon. I'm thinking DICKS or Proteus.

>>22312131
Until I saw other wise.
Haunt-Gastly 1
Shadow-Zorua 1

Now...Camp has 3
Roll for camping.

Well.. there were higher rolls... but I've got a bad feeling about this...

I mean Zorua in this. I'm for Shadow the Ghastly

>>22312234
I like Geist.

>>22312136
Nickname Gastly "Clyde"
Nickname Zorua "Sir Reginald"

Sudden realization. We're doing a Nuzlocke.

Oh god I'm not sure I can take another one of these...

>>22312186
You set up your bedroll near the guards with Sterling having his own private little tent.

You feed your new pokemon that day's rations while the guards share their Stew with you.

Jim seemed happy to see you and you have a fine conversation. He doesn't ask about when you went on the trip or anything of the sorts. But he glared a bit at the tent with Sterling inside.

As the night went on, you check Gastly and Zoura out for any injuries. Gastly had none and Zoura seemed still a bit Skittish and a bit hungry.

"Thank you..." You hear as you lay your head down and a few small bits for the Zoura to sleep.

The Next morning you wake up before the rest. You could walk ahead alone, or wait for them to get up.

A: Go alone.
B: Wait for the rest of them.

>>22312234

Third

>>22312278
Wait for them. Don't want to seem like a thief sneaking off in the night. We can bid them goodbye and leave afterwards.

Ok. Now.. I said earlier ... not to get greedy... but they're asleep. and there's a vulpix.

>>22312265
I vote for calling Gastly "Geist" and Zorua "Clyde"

>>22312284
Giest and Shadow.

>>22312268
You don't have to Nuzlocke this stuff.
It's possible to heal your pokemon after getting a bit hurt. 'Course somethings MIGHT be able to kill a pokemon.

A hyper beam would be pretty hard to live through if you weren't powerful....

>>22312315
Would be too suspicious. As it is, we can get off without their being any the wiser. If we steal the Vulpix, the jig is up.

>>22312315
It'll be too obvious. Jim wont be able to do anything a second time.

>>22312315

Let's not get greedy. Time to strike out on our own. We ran into a friend, added a 'Mon, I say that's good enough for now.

>>22312326
>You don't have to Nuzlocke this stuff.
>'Course somethings MIGHT be able to kill a pokemon.
I really don't understand what you're trying to tell us. They might not die, but when they die, they die?

>>22312347
Get a vulpix in a more ethical way.

>>22312299
Seconding.

>>22312326
So...This is For Leaving then?

>>22312347
If we weren't headed the same way, I'd say be all for it.
Thank you for being the voice of reason.

I say we go ahead without them. Leave a note for Jim.
The longer we stay in the fat merchant's presence, the hotter this can get... And the more I want us to steal from him.

>>22312347
Agreeing with this. Dranule, you yourself mentioned greed being the down fall of thieves, right? Don't go being a hypocrite.

I say we wait for the others to get up. We can part ways after wishing our friend good luck in his travels.

>>22312369
Fainting and Dieing will be different.

>>22312398
You make a small fire and warm up stew for the guards waiting a while as they wake up. They get up soon after and you say goodbye to Jim after eating a bowl of Stew.

Walking down the road leaving them behind you see the Tower in the distance coming closer. Though it is on a road going up a big hill, off the Main path.

You could go to this Tower, OR keep going on the main road.

Rolled 55

>>22312483

We must go to this tower.

>>22312487

>>22312515
The dice gods have spoken.

>>22312487
Why the hell isn't your Name Purple when you roll?

>>22312515
NAT 20!

As you head down the road you hear something in your bag. As you look inside you see the Zoura waking up, it seemed to have slipped into there during the night to have a nice place to sleep.

It's so adorable you smile as you wake up and hear, "Ah...Good Morning..." It doesn't Sound like someone talking near you but...rather someone in your Head speaking in a child's voice.

>>22312578

Pet the Zorua and wish it a good morning, pausing in our pace to let it out of the bag to walk with us. Also, check on Gastly.

>>22312578
Because he adds noko to the dice field.

Say hello to the Zoura. Introduce ourselves properly, and Geist as well.

Rolled 7

>>22312578
I use Noko before dice... Voila.

Introduce Ourselves to Zorua and ask his/her name. Acquaint Gastly with the new companion.

(Zorua was the best get since gastly at the start...)

>>22312619

Normally Pokemon DO NOT speak.

>>22312641
Couldn't gastly, as a ghost speak to some extent?

I know psychics are usually the most capable...
Anyway. The world's weird and we've got pokemon bonding. I don't see a problem with this.

>>22312578
"...."
Tilt head to the side. Blink a couple of times.
".....Good morning?"
"...."
"You can mind speak?"
"Cool."

>>22312661
Seconded.

>>22312641
I was operating under the assumption that our special talent allowed us to speak to them and understand them.

>>22312619
>>22312623
>>22312635
>>22312642

"Hello..." You say nervously, "What's your name little one? I'm Tomas, and the Gastly is Giest."

"Hi Tomas, Hello Giest." It said yawning again and climbing onto your shoulder as your Giest said something in Pokespeak which you don't understand.

"What's your name little buddy?" You ask him as you walk up the hill closer to the Tower.

"Shadow, I'm called Shadow." He said smiling.

"Well come on, we're getting close to the Tower..." Tomas said as he moved up the hill and toward the tower. It seemed in good shape and had a large iron door.

What do you do?

>>22312746
If you worked on it ALOT you could do it.
Not at the moment best you can do is speak to psychics really easily.
>>22312662
As a Ghost he has a High chance of being one of the first you can learn to speak to.
Bugs being the slowest to connect to.

Rolled 18

>>22312754

Scout.

This has to have some sort of bonus attached to it.

Also, since Shadow can talk, we can have it translate for gastly.

Rolled 8

>>22312754

Examine area to determine if abandoned tower. If so, try to open door. If not, knock

Send Geist to scout the tower.

>>22312788
>>22312788
Have Giest scout, while talking more with Shadow. If we practice with Shadow, maybe we can get better.

>>22312788

Dice have spoken, and this is better than my lame plan.

>>22312788
"Hey Giest? Can you do me a favor and check out the inside of the tower?" Tomas asked Giest.

"Ghas..." He said and floated through a wall.

"He said Fine." Shadow said smiling.

"Perfect. When he comes back, you mind telling what he says?" Tomas asked.

"That's Fine." Shadow said smiling a bit.

After about Ten minutes Giest came back speaking a bit turning around a bit around the tower.

"He says it's really Really Empty. Behind the big door is a tower with a bunch of things, but no living thing inside."

What do you do?

>>22312964
Let's explore for fun and profit!

>>22312964
