Rocket HQ Raid Information!!
All right, so most of you already know that Merlin is planning a Rocket HQ raid. If not, you guys can find the post from last week right here! The actual raid log will be put up on 11/17. The departure from Goldenrod and meeting up/scouting on the 15th and 16th will probably be handwaved, unless everyone would prefer otherwise!
!!NOTE!! The HQ will be based loosely on the one in the game but the mods have said we can take some liberties with it.
POKEMON AVAILABLE IN THE HQ:
Wild Pokemon (level 20-25):
Voltorb, Koffing, Grimer, Geodude, Rattata, Ekans, Stunky
Guard Pokemon (level 50-70): (These usually move in groups so expect about 4-5 to ambush you at a time! These, too, can be captured, but don't expect to have an easy time of it!)
Electrode, Weezing, Muk, Graveler (ALL RIGGED TO BLOW), Raticate, Arbok, Skuntank, Rotom (only in the labs)
MAIN BUILDING
❖ Pokemon cages (in the cargo rooms)
❖ a couple Revives
❖ TM46, Thief (x2)
❖ a couple boxes full of Vitamins (Protein, Calcium, Carbos etc)
► BATTLE ALERT!
- Team Rocket Grunt ♀: Arbok (level 36), Gloom (level 31)
- Team Rocket Grunt ♀: Wheezing (level 38), Raticate (level 36)
DORMITORY WING
❖ various old uniforms
❖ personal notes from grunts
- misc ones: letters from home, notes about the back-breaking/boring work, etc.
- of import: some notes about a recent change in the Team Rocket management
❖ some old pokeballs
❖ cases of Soda pop and Lemonade
❖ some TMs (TM06 Toxic, TM36 Sludge Bomb, TM84 Poison Jab)
► BATTLE ALERT!
- Team Rocket Grunt ♀: Raticate (level 35), Golbat (level 32)
- Team Rocket Grunt ♂: Muk (level 39), Stunky (level 33)
LABS/SCIENCE DIVISION
!!NOTE!! The security here is strong since it's still in use. This will be the last stop in the raid, as it's going to be buried at the very back of the HQ and password protected.
❖ boxes of healing items (revive, full heal, etc)
❖ notes from the scientists' research on:
- the process of microchipping pokemon
- training methods/behavior acquisition in young pokemon
► BATTLE ALERT!
- Team Rocket Grunt ♂: Hypno (level 36), Golbat (level 35)
- Team Rocket Grunt ♀: Venomoth (level 41), Graveler (level 33)
- Scientist Jed: Magnemite (level 23), Magnemite (level 26)
- Scientist Ross: Koffing (level 24), Voltorb (level 23)
- Scientist Mitch: Ditto (level 30)
So how is the group going to get into the science division? Good question. That leads us straight to the second part of the raid. Not too far from the labs, and completely separate from the grunt's dorm wing, are the rooms belonging to Ariana and Petrel. Once the crew finds the locked lab doors, they can start looking around the area and stumble upon this wing.
ROCKET EXECUTIVE'S DORM WING
Ariana's Room:
❖ old uniforms
❖ broken and discarded jewelery
❖ bundled up love letters from admirers
❖ Dubious Discs (x2)
❖ a box of Vitamins (Protein, Calcium, Carbos etc)
Petrel's Room:
❖ boxes of old clothing & uniforms
❖ a few books on pokemon
❖ Some Full Heals & Super Potions
❖ his diary, containing the following:
- a few pages on his love of trains, the "remarkable" mechanics of them, and some general sketches of the Magnet Train and its compartments
- the password to the labs "QUOTH THE MURKROW" inside the cover, written in bold and underlined (because he keeps forgetting it :< )
the password's been temporarily changed from HAIL GIOVANNI since Rise-mun kindly pointed out that the last raid party already knew the password
And that concludes the Rocket HQ raid! They'll most likely break off into a few large groups once they're inside the HQ, but ultimately everyone will be meeting up in front of the science division and begin looking for the password together.
Also as a note, you might have guessed how all the notes found in this raid actually connect to the revamped Team Rocket and the intro event, but the information in them should be general enough that the participants should not figure out the event before it happens! Please keep this in mind!
Feel free to use this post to plot amongst yourselves, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions!
