Shiva knocks on the door.
"How many coming out?" comes the reply. "We should be good for another five minutes at least."
RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 08-19-2017
Shiva makes sure to sound authentical and not afraid of what there might be in store when they'd pass this door.
"*cough* Just the three of us. I'm very sorry that we're late to report back, we had to take an extra-turn in the forest to avoid a swarm of Combee. Is there currently a meeting on going that we should attend?"

"Four, not three. I know the fourth guy likes to blend into the background, but try not to forget about him."
RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 08-19-2017
"Oh, my bad, I forgot to count myself in. So... Just the four of us among their Pokemon, sorry for the trouble!"

Ventus just choose to remain silent for the time being, not wanting to say anything that would either: A) Destroy the ruse they were conducting or B)Cause more problems for everyone than not. Silence is golden, as someone once said, and he'll head this advice for now!

"Four? Ok, it's safe for four. No, no meetings planned until next Thursday. Come on through."
The door opens. Light spills into the small tunnel.
There are two Scimitars, dressed much like you...except for their gauntleted hands. No Pokemon or Pokeball belts in sight.
RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Iron - 08-19-2017
"Four of you plus Pokemon? Haha, Pokemon obviously don't count! Wait, you have them out? Why? Are you being pursued?"
They go on high alert, pointing their gauntlets behind you.
"I expected actual Scimitars, not servants! Hahaha!"
"Figures they wouldn't be able to cope with some minor threat in the tunnels."
The two men are inside a small, unfinished chamber. Beyond them looks like a large coatroom. A wooden panel has been moved aside to expose said coatroom, in the same style as the wardrobe where you found the Shock Drive.

Ventus mentally slapped his head when he forgot to equip the gauntlets (As much as he loathed the idea), but his face was completely neutral, displaying none of his inner hatred for the Scimitars in front of him. He politely nodded their head towards them, subtly doing an inspection of them at the same time. 'No Pokémon around them or on their person, but that could either mean they are hiding them somewhere else on their person...or they are capable enough to deal with threats without them. Best not provoke them for now, unless the group chooses to do so, ' the researcher though, awaiting for either his friend to move on, or to do something decidily less friendly to these blasted archmages... The empath also tried to get a read on their emotional state, and see if they are suspicious and/or hostile to them for any reason. Forwarned is forearmed....
The researcher was annoyed at their arrogance as well, but wisely kept their mouth shut.

While the Guards let them (luckily) pass - looks like it indeed turned out useful that Shiva played afternoons away with Adventure-RPGs in her middle-school-years! - they made a horrible mistake: Pointing at them. Laughing at them. Seemingly not taking her for full.
She told the others that she'll be right back, before she stepped close to the Scimitar-Guards and gave them a devasting toxic look. And spoke to them in an overly icy tone, clearly expressing her resentment.
"You know... These Combee's were serious, although it were just bees. You're lucky that we defeated them there in the forest, instead of fleeing and most likely bringing them down to the base to cause a whole ruccuss here. So if you'd PLEASE be quiet now and let us reunite with the others to discuss further plans, alright ? Call us 'servants' again..."
RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Iron - 08-19-2017
Ventus gets a slightly suspicious feeling from them. They definitely think of themselves as outranking you guys.
As evidenced by what happens next: the Scimitar near Shiva slaps her with his gauntleted hand!
Strike
2 Dex + 4 Fight + 0 Brawl
(2)(3)(5)(6)(6)(5)
3 Str +1 power -2 vit = 2 dice
(4)(4) Shiva takes 2 dmg.
"Never speak out of turn again, girl. What is your name...servant?"
