Elemental Gauntlet: A Pokemon Roguelike

[Flashlight237]

It seems that you have chosen the Psychic Type door. The purple star indicates talent, but what is there for you to show for it..?

Before you is an arrangement of tarot cards. To an ordinary person, tarot cards are no different from a standard deck of cards outside the addition of the Major Arcana cards. To a psychic, however, these cards are said to have mystical properties, those of divination, clairvoyance, and perhaps even precognition.

The talent the room intends for you to show is divination. The cards are all faced down so you wouldn't cheat this room. In any case, why don't you two see how you are at divination. For this, I will ask each of you to roll a wisdom check before stepping to the table.

Masha looked around the table with the cards and the rest of the room, trying to figure out what they needed to do.

Okay, so the task is simple. Pick a card. Any card. Let it tell of your future or whatever it is divination does.

Lena studied the cards then picked a card on the left

[Flashlight237]

Lena, the first card you pulled is Strength (Major Arcana VIII in this set). It seems to represent your leadership and your ingenuity to overcome various obstacles despite your physical muteness.

Masha took the central card

Lena wondered how many cards should they take?

Lena wondered how many cards should they take?

I think three should be enough for an accurate reading.

Masha took the central card

The first card you got was The Tower. It symbolizes the fact that you are working towards a clear if arduous goal.

She took a central card just like masha

Masha took the right card.

20

Masha took the right card.

10

Alright, so...

Masha, your second card is the Magician. This card symbolizes the power you have thanks to your Typesuit. Makes sense; otherwise, you'd kinda be powerless.

Lena, you got Temperance. It represents the patience you have over the bullshit I've put out, plus the fact that you've made it decently far.

Okay, so the final card that will be picked out will represent you both. Whoever picks first will have both of your futures read out to you.

Lena carefully pulled out the last card on the left.

[Bound cat]

Masha also tried to take the left card.

The last card picked out between the two of you was The World. Neither of you are really sure what that's supposed to mean, you just interpret it as a neutral response.

The task is done. You earned 50 gold here...

Lena: 215 gold
Masha: 215 gold

Now that that was done, let's move on. The two of you can see three new doors:

A yellow door bearing the Electric Type symbol and a blue star.
A pink door bearing the Psychic Type symbol and a yellow star.
A beige door with the Normal Type symbol and a red star.
A golden door with a rainbow star at the top and a green up arrow. This must be an upgrade door to evolve your gear from Typesuit II to Typesuit III.

Which one shall you take?

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

“Gold door” lena smiled

[Bound cat]

- “Ugh. I wish all the trials were as easy as this," Masha thought to herself.
- “I agree. Let's go to the golden door,” she addressed this thought to Lena.
Since there was nothing else to do in this room and both girls made the same choice, Masha did not hesitate and entered the golden door.

[Flashlight237]

((Hey. I wanna say, sorry for the hold-up on this thing. The Typesuit IIIs are in the planning stages right now, and they are literally the next thing you peeps will be going through because of the golden upgrade door.))

[Bound cat]

((This is good news. I was afraid that this RP had ended in mid-sentence))

[Flashlight237]

((Posting an update, I had an artist start getting Typesuit III designs drawn.))

[Bound cat]

((That's cool!))
