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.

I don't know how to get back to liminal space. And I'm not going to stand by while people die. It's an idea, at least - he can't hold an infinite amount of attacks. It would take too much energy. I'm not trying to be some kind of martyr - I've had enough of that. I'm just saying that there has to be a weak point. From a biological standpoint Pogemon don't make sense, but there has to be some limit. And if you fill him up to the limit with junk...

l[He hesitates on the next part, but it has to be said.]

But for that to happen, you have to be willing to make sacrifices for the good of everyone.

As I understand it there are a lot of Travelers with a portal ability that lets them get back to liminal space, and they can open it for people who aren't them, too.

You're right. There has to be a limit. A weak point. But I'm really not comfortable sending you in to get knocked out just to help overload him. We have no idea what his limit is - we might not even have enough investigators to do that. And you can make a difference without something so drastic. Being a medic isn't standing by. It's one of the most important jobs in the field. Guns are made so that literally anyone can pick one up and fire. They might not hit anything, but they can try. Being a medic is specialized. You can't just look at a wound and instantly know what to do with it. That takes study and practice, and without medics battle casualties would skyrocket. As far as I know, we don't have many people, if any, who know any medicine. You'd be the first I've heard of. That means we need you.

... It's not like I know advanced stuff. Just how to bandage something properly and things like that. I have some first-aid pogs that I got given when I signed up with the Guardia thing.

[But as long as he's doing something... and he wouldn't have to fight and risk thinking of those kinds of things again.]

We haven't been in that rift you're talking about, but you should still be careful. You don't know what sort of Pogemon are going to be there.

[vrepit_no]

That's more than a lot of people know, and we'll be glad to have you, if you're up for it.

Yeah, we're going to try and stay out of sight as much as possible and do some scouting before actually planning an assault.

[icanhearscreams]

Yeah, I'll... yeah.

[He's quiet for a moment, thinking.]

It depends if he's more Saturday morning cartoon bad guy or not. If he's smart he won't be at his castle, but if he's not, he'll be there. Either way you should be prepared for a sneak attack. There's no way to know if he plays by any sort of rules or not.

[vrepit_no]

Affirmative. If he doesn't at least have some noisy ambushes set up, then he's exceptionally stupid, and that doesn't seem likely from something of this calliber. But we may be able to use those am ushes to our advantage as distractions.

[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.
