[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Inside the tent, Valder is almost back to sleep. He's clutching a Pokeball in one hand. He hands over Grid and goes back to sleep.

"...well, can't blame ya for wanting to sleep...hope this works so I don't have to bother anyone else..."

One big spider using Thunder Wave, coming right up!

It takes several shocks to get through Solosis' defenses, but eventually the antenna goes "Frizzt!", and you hear muddled, amplified speech for a brief second. You don't catch any words for certain. Then the little element in the antenna burns up, a minor detonation. Solosis takes 1 lethal damage.

"Thank you, Grid."

And now Nathan's gonna see if he can stabilize that wound before he decides to expend any resources or not.

Stabilize check!
5 Dex + 3 Knowledge + 0 Medicine - 3 Accuracy - 3 Exhaustion = 2 D6 (ew, but better than nothing, I suppose)

[Iron]

Stabilize: (3)(1) After some work, Nathan's not able to stabliize Solosis.

Drat.  He's too tired for this.  Well, guess the group has Heal Pulsers for a reason...and it's a good thing he still has a few strong healing items...

Nathan will use a Potion to heal that 1 point of Lethal Damage since there's no other options.

Well, that's that problem solved...

...and another one made very, very apparent.

Better wake EVERYONE up now...and his watch only just started, too...*sigh*...

Truth to be told, Shiva is NOT happy of being awoken a second time at who knows which time, according to her biological clock it'd be like....in the middle of the night. Hooray.

She does need a few moments to put her glasses back on, adapt to the now clear view into the distance, then thow the Ranger's Cloak over herself because it's cold, then give a few calming strokes to her special Poochyena, which has began to snarl again. With a deadpan and somewhat grim face, she looked over to Nathan. " You better have a VERY good reason to awoke us all. What's so important that it can't be wait until we've enjoyed at least a LITTLE rest?"

Conveniantly (or not, depending on your point of view), Ventus was already up and was exiting the tent around the time Nathan decided to round up the others, as Heart's snoring interrupted his rest for the second shift and so he decided to get started on it early since he was too Alert to doze off again. Seeing the boy's tired yet grave look immediantly put him on edge, and he wasted no time in asking the obvious question. "Nathan, is their something wrong? ......Oh dear, there is. Since you are not hollering on top of your lungs its must not be an urgent one, so I'll wait until you've gathered everyone. *Sighs* Isn't this just a lovely night....."

Heart was grump to be wake so soon. "Ugh, just more five minutes mom...I dont want to soon to the sword training lessons just now.....Zzzzzzzzz...."Say Heart during his sleep. Koa and Patrat (who was out of their pokeballs sleeping with Heart) see Nathan and shake Heart to awake him. "*Yaawn!* Nham, its already morning? Or its my turn to be my watch?" Then Heart see the Solosis Nathan was holding. "What, in the name of the Creation Trio and Arceus creator of all happening here while I was sleeping?!"

Yup, Shiva was just as grumpy as he imagined she would be...though to be fair, with Heart snoring the way he does, he can't really blame her.

"...yes, it's a good reason, Shiva.  However, it is urgent, Ventus, or I would have let everyone else sleep and just told you what happened when your turn came.  This Solosis was trying to sneak up on us.  Yes, I know, it's just a single Solosis, but it's not a normal Solosis, and it'd be rather odd to find a wild Solosis this deep underground.  This one belongs to someone.  And it's got a metal antenna embedded in it.  I had Grid fry the electronics with a few Thunder Waves.  When I did, I heard someone speaking through it.  The antenna probably takes advantage of Solosis's innate telepathic abilities in some ways.  Or rather, did.  Whoever was on the other side was probably giving Solosis orders to try and scout out our camp while we were sleeping.  In other words, we're being followed.  I think we all only need one guess to figure out who it is that's doing so."

Notably, Nathan's not holding Solosis super carefully.  Firmly, but not carefully.  He's making sure to keep a tight grip on it even though it's KOed.

I'll assume Mr. Finder and Valder are both present too, as I did say Nathan woke EVERYONE up.

[Iron]

Mr. Finder: "Hey, I've smelled this Pokemon before. Where was it now...hm...oh! I remember! Shiva, do you still have that vial of green goo?"
