Mild Meadows Team:Merit SolNithia RinneFalon SunbladeOlivier SinclairCurrent Mission:
MMD58d Guild: Odyssey Mission: Defeat Rocker Location: Mild Meadows PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: a. Locate and perform reconnaissance of Rocker's domain within the Mild Meadows b. Defeat Rocker by any means SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: a. Create a map of the area beyond Rocker's domain
TARGET DETAILS a. Rocker is known to use sound based moves b. Rocker is known to use slashing moves c. Rocker is known to summon minions
Current Map: Mild Meadows~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A wondrous breeze, the scent of the free, wild terrain before you, and an expansive view of the area before you meld together before into one serene location known as the Mild Meadows. In the distance, you occasionally spot fields of flowers. Though they have no use in crafting, their beauty cannot be denied as they rhythmically sway with the gentle breeze that this expansive field provides. As your team enters the Mild Meadows, you begin along the western border. The only entrance to this dungeon was located atop a hill which provides an excellent view of the layout. Although the grass below your feet doesn't look like it has been cut recently, it doesn't look like it has grown either. It remains rather short compared to the grass nearby. It is somewhat clear that this shorter grass represents a path for you to walk on. Any attempts to walk onto the rougher grass are met with unknown resistance that you are unable to get past. Nevertheless, your path is clear. Your goal is clear. The day is clear. Everything about this "dungeon" exudes the essence of "clear".

Standing atop the western hill, Merit Sol surveys the expansive field, sketching an outline of what he could see clearly of the land below. While doing this, he feels a building sense of unease. He turns his head around to see if something was around but sees only his fellow guild members. Shrugging the feeling off, he continues his work. Matchi was no longer in the satchel; the inviting serenity of the mild meadow lured the cherry Pokemon out of its morning daze.
Once he finishes the sketch, Merit shows it to the group. "Here's what I could sketch from up here. I'll definitely want to check for accuracy while we're down there, but this should work for now." He points to some clearings. "While we don't know where Rocker is exactly, I would guess that he is in one of these clearings; they seem to hold more pokemon than the corridors."

While Merit is mapping out the area, Falon has (surprise surprise) already move forward, further down on the path, and is currently prodding the taller grass with his new sword, on occasion trying to enter it, and, when this all has begun boring him, he grins widely as he sets his sword ablaze, slashing at the tall grass to cut it down!

"Aah, smell that grassy air!" Olivier says with a smile, lifting his arms wide and spinning as if the hills were alive with music. Once dizzy, he stops to watch Falon cut apart the grass and waggles his finger. "My goodness! You're really energetic, aren't you? But before you hurt yourself... Here! Alacka, shazam!"
And lo! Shimmering borders of light and prisms covered the party. "Reflect and Light Screen! The two of them should keep us safe against any icky beasts in the fields!"

Nithia blinked as she felt a wave of familiar yet very different magic pass over her, snapping her out of the thoughts that had been consuming her all day. She looked around in confusion for a moment, not recognizing her surroundings in the slightest. She must have walked here, but... But more importantly, who was casting blessings that wasn't her! That was her job! Her eyes locked onto the strange man and narrowed into a death glare. Her arms crossed as her cheeks puffed up into a very intimidating pout. She didn't like him. Oh, and there was the possessed one too, running around a attacking the grass. Why did she always have to get the most annoying people to work with? Why couldn't she have Bee... She let out a little sigh and looked over to Merit slaving away at the map. At least he was fun to work with...
She'd remain absorbed in her pouty thoughts, glaring at Olivier whenever he wasn't looking at her, at least until someone dragged her along deeper into the dungeon.

Falon's attempts at cutting the grass are successful insofar as he's able to cut off the ones he's able to reach. However, his weapon is only barely able to make it past the odd barrier like properties of this area. A few of the harder swings he takes are able to reach a centimeter or so further, but the effort would appear to yield very little results. Somehow, the fields aren't catching on fire either; although, the cuts left behind a singe on the now shortened grass.
The field immediately in front of the group opens into two paths, each of which has an easily noticeable layout from your point of view. To the north east is a winding path with a split. Although you can see that the paths eventually meet up again. They seem to lead to an area in the center of the map. The center of the map..... that center... those of you who were tracing the path and turned to look at that... oddness in the center of the map suddenly feel a bit shaky.... "best turn your eyes away" is the feeling you're getting.
To the south east, there's a path that looks like it would lead to a dead end. Past that dead end, towards the south east of the meadow is a very large area. It's hard to tell whether that's a large room or a path and quite honestly, it probably doesn't make much of a difference to most. Although, looking back at that south east path... there looks like there's almost a path that takes you directly to the center, but some strong movement in that area suggests you probably can't pass through it from this side.
Where to go....

Olivier smiles like a dope at Nithia. What a funny face she was making! He bobbles up and down happily, before snapping his fingers. "Oooh! I almost forgot! An apple a day, keeps heart wounds away!" He chanted, snapping his fingers and waving his magical hands around once more. "Lucky chant and Safeguard! Aha! I bet you're sure glad you brought me along for this one!~"
Then, he turns to Merit with a grin. "Where too, fearless leader? I've got some latent terrifying feelings about that big clearing, but if we send Mr. Firesword in there first, I'm sure we'll be ok!"
Beside him, Patty the Patrat stood nervously on guard, twitching it's head this way or that way as it kept watch for his much less attentive trainer. On any other normal day, he probably would have been hoarding some nice plant shoots, but today the poor thing was indentured into the service of a trainer.
Patty wasn't sure what to make of that...

Merit pays no mind to the blessings as they wash over him. Instead, he looks over the map and the field, filling in more details as he tries to figure out where they should start. The feeling of unease from earlier returns despite his attempts to ignore it. Once Oliver asks him a question, he blinks and looks up from the map. "You have an odd feeling too?" He frowns for a moment, scanning the field before looking down at the map again. "There's something about that clearing, but I can't place it. Does anyone else have a bad feeling about it?" After a few seconds, he continues. "To answer your question, I say we should explore the right path first. It appears to be a dead end, and we might find some of the resources requested by the medicine maker."

Nithia's glare and pout only deepens as Olivier cast the next two blessings. So he knew those too, huh? Seems she had competition... But enough of that for now. The pout slowly fades from her face as she puts a finger to her chin, thinking. "I don't know, something feels... out of balance about the center clearing. I think we should head there and try to do something about it. The longer things remain out of balance, the worse things become. As for which specific way..." She blinks for a moment and closes her eyes spinning around in a circle, going faster and faster. It's a miracle she doesn't trip over her own feet, but eventually she suddenly stops and points towards the southeast, eyes still closed. "That way!" Surprisingly enough, there's actually a path way there. She opens her eyes and beams for a moment before a funny expression crosses her face and she begins swaying back and forth. "I feel dizzyyyyyyyy~ hehe!"

"Hrmm. I do want to see if we can find those herbs for the nice medicine lady first though." Olivier interjects. "She's a nice lady, and I'd hate to disappoint her if we had to go back early due to being hurt by Rocker. Let's take the right path first, and then we'll see if we can find Rocker in the creepy place!"

Falon, having finished his experimentation with the grass and never one to wait, had dashed off to the right before Merit had even finished talking, an eager grin on his face.

As Falon runs off, Merit rolls his eyes before following behind at a reasonable pace. With every step, he scans the surrounding grass for the requested resources. Rolled a 10 on Perception for finding resource points with the requested materials.

Although Merit is able to spot a familiar glow ahead, it appears to be in a different part of the meadow. So far, the air of calmness continues all around the group. Not a single pokemon in sight.

Falon dashes ahead full speed, going left at the first junction he comes across, making short work of the clearing past it.

"I better follow after him, I think." Olivier chirps. "If I get lost, I can always stick Patty on top of a stick, and then we'll find you that way! Patty has good eyes, don't you?"
"Snk snk RAT?" Patty says, looking up after having furtively enjoyed a mauled tuber.
"*SQUEEE!!!*" Olivier cries, scooping the ground mole Pokémon into his arms and running off after Falon. His feet carry him dead center to a little clearing, where he stops to smell the roses.

"Sounds good, Oliver." Merit looks to Nithia. "How about we check out the other branch, then follow after them?"

Nithia blinks for a moment, then nods enthusiastically, following Merit, humming lightly as she goes, her eyes wandering, looking at everything in the surroundings except where she was going.

Falon's quick sprint through the clearing easily allowed him to rush past four sleeping pokemon without noticing, or being noticed by, a single one. However, Olivier, having stopped in the middle of the field is now surrounded by four pokemon just rudely woken up from their peaceful relaxation in the paradise known as Mild Meadows. One pokemon in particular, a Petilil, has her nearly bloodshot eyes focused on Olivier, having established Olivier as the source of her disturbance. With a fuming demeanor, she throws a leech seed at you in hopes of wearing you down right away. Petilil uses leech seed in a preemptive attack on Olivier. She rolls a 17 vs AC 4+evade. Though the butterfree next to the Petilil is slightly annoyed at Olivier, it takes longer at waking up and doesn't join in time for the preemptive attack. The two budew are likewise still a bit groggy. Further away down the other path, Nithia and Merit continue enjoying a pleasant stroll through the relaxing Mild Meadows. There's a rather nice smell coming from the corner nearby.

Falon runs across the clearing, taking in what he sees as he does so. Grass, grass, flowers, four Mon slowly waking up... It isn't till he skids to a halt past the clearing that he realises the last thought. Turning around, he sees Olivier getting attack by some plant Mon. He quickly dashes back, drawing and igniting his sword in one smooth motion, before quickly taking in the area and deciding the butterfly was probably the biggest threat at the moment. As such, he quickly spins around, slashing at the insect with his still burning sword. As he does so, he releases Maknor between the two Budew, the Zangoose grinning viciously before getting ready in a battle stance. Falon moves in using his Shift action to get close and if needed his Swift action to Disengage in. Falon uses Flame Wheel on the Butterfree! AC2: wF0xd8nS1d20, burns on a 19+ DB6: 2d6+21 Physical Fire Type Damage Falon releases Maknor Maknor uses Swords Dance, giving him +2 CS in Attack Crit Damage on Flame Wheel: 2d6+8, and the Butterfree is Burned, activating my Igniting Shoes till the end of the next turn. 1d20·2d6+21·2d6+8

"NAAAH!!!" Olivier cries, hugging Patty hard to his chest. He raises a hand to dissipate the seeds before they strike him, burning a round of his Safeguard. "Patty! Save me Patty!"Power pulses into Patty's body, protecting him with a shimmering sheen of energy. Patty did also attempt to then protect Olivier via the contract; but fails to escape the firm grasp of Olivier. Olivier uses Sage on Patty!
Patty tackles... And rolls a 1! Miss!
