Yarek Ovitz's page

Yarek wakes with a loud groan, then moves over towards the breakfast table.

Ohmvi is already up and walking around the inside of Oleg's trading post. With loud bleating he asks for Yarek's attention.

"Alright, alright, I'll get to your training in a moment. First breakfast. You're hungry to right?"

The tough Mareep shakes his head in decline, indicating his already empty bowl.

"Good to see someone's full of energy at least."

When Yarek meets Svetlana, he motions to her.
"That dinner from last night was delightful. Next time, if you need some help with cooking, allow me to assist. I've got some experience in cooking, but any chance to practice my skills is welcome."

"Aye you've got a point. Though I'd start with the berries first, food and healing are essential to us for a long trek. I still got some berries for planting with me, so that's a start. Apricorns though, I will have to search around for them."

Yarek wanders over to Oleg after Agathis's inquiry into a small patch of land to grow berries and apricorns on.

"Oleg? Can I trouble you for a spade or shovel, perhaps a rake or hoe if you have one. If I may, I'd like to start a small patch of berries close to your trading post. Nothing large scale yet, just a few bushes and maybe one or two apricorn trees if we find any. Of course you can pluck some berries if you need them when they're ripe."

I agree, though Yarek will probably search for berries and apricorns along the way as well. Survival may come in handy pretty well.

Thanks thunderbeard/Agathis I'll remeber that for our next fight

"Aye. Indeed you'd expect something more ferocious than a Stantler, still the man might be more trouble than we'd expect and it certainly fits with the name of the Stag Lord."

Yarek mulls over Agathis's words about exploration and mapping.
"Well certainly taking out their camp would give us more freedom to move around and safety to do so. Though I wouldn't want to hurry into a fight unprepared. Perhaps travelling towards that outpost first, mapping the area along the way, training and catching new pokémon might be the way to go. That way, we'll be stronger for the fights to come."

"Kesten? Can you convince that man to tell us the approximate number of men at the outpost and the fort?"

"Easy there sir Garess, we're not the ones robbing Oleg and Svetlana. These guys were."

And Yarek points over to the now bound and perhaps gagged group of three men.

"We caught these three by surprise but there appears to be a larger group still about."

"I've only used a bow when I was a lad and that was a makeshift one at that. I can always give it a try, beats being late to the party when you guys are having all the fun."

Yarek smiles a faint smile and then pets Ohmvi.
"Well we both missed out huh? At least you did your best pal."

Yarek takes over the rope from Oleg and begins tying up one of the bandits.

"Too bad this is only one small victory. We might get one more when another group investigates about this group, though not more than that. We'll need to keep our element of surprise going right?"

Electric Terrain would work wonders with a lot of Mareep when I get a herd started and it would also benefit Tesla greatly. Though it would make the Sing strategy ineffective unfortunately.

Charge I can't effectively use yet, but it would be great once I get thundershock at level 8.

Faraday how would you feel about me taking electric terrain? We could both benefit from that, though we would need to discuss when to use it though.

No I didn't, ik had tackle so i didn't think i needed one. I can take sand attack though.

Yarek moves behind Ohmvi and sees the bandits alseep on the ground.

"Well done Faraday. That made things a lot easier."

Yarek looks to his trusty Mareep and nods.
"Seems this is not the practice I anticipated but you can practice your tackle on that middle guy over there."

"Maa-Maa! Maa---Reep!"
Ohmvi charges and uses a tackle on Happs, the apparent leader of this bunch.

Accuracy: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14

Well that's a miss...

"Ohmvi! Tackle the closest pokemon of those men battling our new friends!"

Yarek moves over towards the stable doors and blocks the entrance to deny any other people access to attack Dr Agathis.

Sorry for the late time posting, started my new job this week and it involves me getting up at 6 in the morning. Not used to the times yet.

Yarek is also up at the break of dawn, he's been a rancher after all and work never stops.

He pokes Ohmvi awake.
"Up and at them buddy. We've got a tough day ahead of us. Luckily we're both quite tough so we'll manage right?"

Ohmvi looks a bit sleepily out of its eyes and yawns, then shakes itself awake and follow Yarek towards his breakfast bowl.

Yarek fills the bowl with a berry and some pokemon food, having half a trail rations himself.

"By the sounds of it, I suspect two of our new companions are already out and about with training. You hear that Ohmvi? Not my kind of training regime, but it'll be useful I reckon."

Ohmvi just munches on the food and nods from time to time.

"We might get some training in ourselves if you're up for it.Let's go as soon as we finished breakfast."

Yarek is the last one to make it outside the trading post to train.
"Well Ohmvi, I'm not much one for a particular training regime, but lets just exercise alot and focus on your tackles yeah? I'll train with you."

"Maa Maa. Maa-reep Maa"
Ohmvi seems like he's ready to go.

After training, Yarek walks along with Ohmvi just around the Trading Post looking for pokemon that strayed too close to Oleg's. "Additional friends may always come in handy Ohmvi. I'm sure we will have a rough time in this area if we don't. Remember the Electrike guarding you all?"

I'll be checking in on that tomorrow morning, long day today not much chance to post.

"Sounds like a plan Sonia. Ohmvi here has much to learn and grow if he wants to become my new herd leader."

Yarek looks at Agathis with a raised eyebrow.
"Do you mean the literal sense or figurative sense of sending that message? Figuratively, I'm all for that, literally not so much. After all, we want to keep an element of surprise even if we take out all of the party tomorrow."

"I'm not much of a fighter myself, neither is Ohmvi, but we're tough as nails we are. If you need someone blocked or cornered we're the guys for the job. That said, I ain't got much of a weapon besides my own kitchen knives if it comes to that."

Yarek fishes a small bowl from his pack, then puts some of the stew in it, skimming any meat that's in there. When he's done he puts it in front of Ohmvi and says.
"Dig in lad, I reckon our hostess is a great cook."

Yarek himself listens to the questions flying around the table whilst he takes a few spoonfuls of the stew.

"Hmmm... This is really tasty Svetlana, reminds me of home. You're a great cook, no doubt about it."

I guess Oleg expected guards or soldiers to be posted here. Well he certainly didn't expect this kind of inquisition.

Yarek looks pleased and smiles a faint smile as Ohmvi and Tesla communicate with each other.

"At least they know how to start a conversation."

Yarek says as he lays a rough hand on a shoulder of Sonia and Dr. Agathis.
"We've got this charter together and we will have to make the best of it. Arguing isn't something that helps us out on the road. We will have enough of that to do when we reach Oleg's and set up."

Yarek walks back to Faraday and gently attempts to touch Tesla under his chin. Then pets Ohmvi behind his ears.

"I'm Yarek Ovitz by the way, former rancher and hoping to be that again in the Greenbelt. Ohmvi is my family's last Mareep, something I hope also to right. Come to think of it, are there not five names on that charter? I see only four of us."

The little Mareep makes his way towards Faraday, trotting along and bleating softly.

When near the musician and his Pichu, he looks up and calls out. "Maa. Maa. Maa-reep?"

Indicating to most, like it wants to make an acquaintance with the other electric pokémon.

The big burly man in the group looks at the others, then lets out his Mareep from the first of five pokéballs on his belt.

"I think you and that Pichu over there should get along Ohmvi. Making some new friends might be in order until I can set up a new herd."

Yarek picks up a bottle of water and takes a long sip from it.

"No sir, I don't think we're in a court. We're in the open world going to new and free lands we aim to settle. To do that, we'll need agriculture and resources. That's where I come in."

I thought you were more commenting on ideas for the future though.

I found one that fits Yarek, besides the avatar of Rocan himself though.
