Travelers Assemble! [Jaunt]

[vrepit_no]

All right, Travellers, we have a goal and a way to get to it. There is a portal in a park near the pogemon HQ that leads to a similar landscape to the one we're aiming for. I'm clearing the area and we can use it as a launch point. What do people know about this Nevermore character? Weaknesses, layout of the castle, guard numbers and types - any information is good information guys.

And let me know who's coming to the portal and whether or not you've signed up with the Guardia. There's some good material and supplies there if you need them and it will allow you to move about freely.

...Yeah. That's... kind of what happens when you let covert death cultists have a say in designing the summoning gear you're giving people to use. I mean, it does what it's supposed to, but... yeah.

[Anyway.]

Malik's probably not going to be the only one.

[vrepit_no]

What the quiznak were those people thinking?!

[That's not actually meant to be broadcast but he's a little upset at the moment.]

Do you know of anyone else we're going to need to be looking out for?

[naturaltwohands]

Unfortunately, all the weapons that could have helped us are either back on our world or have lost their enchantments. Defeat would be difficult.

[vrepit_no]

If our information is correct, vegetable type pogemon or plant-based attacks may prove most effective, with water and fire possibly second. Physical attacks and lightning don't do much. We're going to need everyone. I'd appreciate it if you kept to scouting for the most part so we can form a better battle plan, but I know your dad doesn't like me much and may have his own plans. I'd appreciate a heads up if you're found or if you're going to attack.

[vrepit_no]

Man, I know someone who would be great at this stuff. If they ever show up, I know who to point them to. Me, I'm not so sure. Glad to have you on our side, Kanji.

[seestheworld]

[Death cultists, Shiro.]

If Ikutsuki was the one in charge, it was probably an even split between puns and ~symbolism~. And possibly giggling.

I remember mention of someone named Katie who fought Nevermore before, but I was speaking more generally - there are always at least some Infiltrators who want to take an active role in something like this, because as far as they know they're defending their home.

[It's also possible that some Infiltrators might just bumble their way in, but that's harder to predict.]

[whydoyoushine]

Well, yeah.

What's your point?

[ninjayeehaw]

[You think that's bad enough already, wait 'til you see them in action.]

That's the workin' theory. I don't reckon he's got the know-how t'keep his armour on without it.

[truerevelation]

[Kanji refrains from thinking out loud that he's been on 'their side' a whole lot longer than Shiro.]

Eh. Who else's would I be on?

[icanhearscreams]

'Stupid' or 'stereotypical', given this world in general. It... reminds me a lot of some media back home. But he's more of a 'final boss', I guess, so it's hard to tell. Just don't be surprised if he gives a corny speech when you face him down.

Either way, we can use the network for keeping in touch. It seems to work between worlds, so it'd be a good idea to check in every so often to keep your position updated. If you have anyone who can give visuals with you, that'd be a good idea too so we can coordinate attacks.

[fawkestheories]

Yeah... Not sure I can get there from here. [Meaning it's not a skill he's picked up just yet]

[comebewe]

Oh.

[he's had so many portal skills for such a long time, sometimes it's easy to forget that not everyone does know how to tear open a portal from one world to another]

Well...I'm heading to the park to hand off the maps. You can meet me there, then.

[fawkestheories]

I can do that. I'm about five minutes away currently.

[comebewe]

Okay.

[dontbetoncurry]

So yeah, this portal, we're allowed to fight normal in it right?

I mean I got shoe and all, and shoe is raring to fight, but I've also got my guns and I actually know how to fight with those better. Also apparently I know how to use a microfiche which is a skill on this world.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

We will meet them in liminal space, as we will be there already.

[vrepit_no]

All right. I'd appreciate it if you kept in touch. Running updates would be a big help.

[highsteaks]

I want to help. I've got Yowlet and also I can fight pretty good on my own. I know Jeet Kune Do...

[She hesitates a long moment before adding,]

... and I have a fire attack. Sort of. It's kind of centered on me, so it's best when there's a bunch of bad guys swarming me. But it's definitely a thing I can bring.

[Hopefully that Eren kid won't recognize it for a Red spell.]

[naturaltwohands]

Ah, no attacks that I specialize in. If I was a Druid, we would have far more luck. We will keep you informed of our progress and will do our best to not engage. We are drow. It should not be too difficult.

Do not worry; my father does not hate so easily. Being perhaps the greatest Weapons Masters that Menzoberranzan has ever known, he has a wealth of experience in dealing with only cold-hearted enemies that cannot be left alive. The options he sees come from that mindset.

... Also, sometimes he simply is in a bad mood.

[The last part is made as a joke that his father can hear. Because he's trying to lighten the conversation. It's also quite obvious that Drizzt means not a bit of that last statement.]

[awondrousplace]

Unfortunately, I doubt my actual particular skills would be of use in this instance. I am not very useful in large-scale combat, however, I can attempt to help in other ways. At the very least, I can provide large quantities of tea or other calming beverages when people are done.

My overlay's specialty was, or, well, is mineral pogecreatures, so some of her information might be of assistance.

[vrepit_no]

[Now there is a lady closer to his age, and British to boot. Respect: check.]

Thank you ma'am. I know there are bound to be a lot of hungry and thirsty pogemon and people after this - a good meal none of us have to cook sounds like a fantastic thing to return to. And I would really appreciate anything you can tell us about mineral pogemon and how to deal with them. My own pogemon is an animal type, I think, so he's going to be less effective, as I understand it.

[vrepit_no]

With luck we won't have a ton of little enemies to swarm, but you can't rely on luck. Do you have any protection against weapons fire?

[vrepit_no]

[Shoe. This guy's pogemon is named Shoe? Welp.]

There are going to be a lot of people in this fight. Are you confident that you can fire into a fast moving melee without injuring friendlies?

[awondrousplace]

Oh, please, darling. Call me Helena. There's no need to be so formal. I had plenty of that in my original time.

You are more than welcome to join me in my rooms at any time in Liminal Space. I can create anything that you wish to eat in whatever quantities you would need.

I could ramble on for hours from picking my overlay's brain. It might be easier if I could simply show you some of the information that she has.

[rustyhonesty]

I have some healing spells, so I can provide healing for anyone who needs it after the battle.

[They seemed to have enough fighters, so it was better to offer healing at this point.]
