[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Spiritmon]

Heart go to Gallade and Nathan side. "He's right you know. We already was capable of reach a peaceful treat between us. I can live without Everlink Armor or the Miracle Rood. If doing this we can get the sword and save the region, I willing to do this sacrifice."

"Also Nathan you owe me some help when we return, so you gonna help me find the guy who can teach Flying ability to Pokemon since Quetzal loose a useful item. And I don't accept a no as a answer this time. You gonna help me, since I sacrifice most of my items to you get the sword, so this is the least you owe me."

Help has a price, and this is no argument about this. And of course not negotiable. @Dragonstrike

Everyone gain a Will point for finding the Sword and then resting nicely in the Nidokingdom!

(Spirit, I'll go ahead and edit yours into your sheet.)

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan puts his hands in the air at Heart's demand. "...Heart, I WILL repay you for this, but...please don't put me on the spot like that. Particularly if you're asking me to do something that I can't...I'll explain later. Just...trust me. Please?"

It's also about time for Marco's daily dose of Earthpower from Heart if I remember correctly. Hopefully today's goes okay...

[Iron]

Autoing Heart as requested:

(4)(1)(6)(2)(1)(4) (4)(6)(5)(1)

That's enough to undo some of the mistakes from last time. Marco is looking distinctly more human, and his Pokemon are more willing to spend time near him.

One more treatment will do it, barring further mistakes. That'll be at the end of Day 82.

"I am able to use the move Fissure, but really, wouldn't you rather just bludgeon this "King" into submission?"

These words of Cosh issued as a response to her earn him an expression of blatant shock from Shiva, she stares at him for a few thick moments before vigorously shaking her head. With determination clarly audible in her voice in between all that fear, she'll add "...No, that is not what I would rather do. That's bold of you, Cosh, brave and very bold, but I just don't wish to do that. Not solely because that king would be a foe that shall not taken lightly...but also due to experiences of mine involving a Nidoking, you see." She pauses for a little before offering some more words, words of praise....! "However, your bravery is impressive. The Eye can probably only amplify things to a degree, powering up traits of boldness that are already present." She feels that Cosh is a good leader figure for the Earth Scimitars, but is to shy to openly tell him.

'Resting nicely' is quite the opposite of what Shiva experiences: Her rest is erratic, she's lying awake for much longer than she usually does, is jumpy all the time and gets startled from even a small touch from anyone, and only after SOMEHOW having found enough sleep that she won't suffer penalties due to exhaustion along the further way she realizes that she's been weeping in her sleep. ( ._.)

She's looking terrible in the morning, but masks it as best as she can to not worry the others too much. The only thing that obviously tells that she's been taking all of this badly is that her Pokemon, especially Whimsi and Azu, are not leaving her side by an inch and shower her with more affection for comfort than they usually do; as well as she's having two black and sugary-sweet coffees before progressing. Ah, and that she's literally clinging to the Shield as if her life would depend on it. She doesn't really think that the Nidos will do anything unless being provoked, but... she needs the peace of mind this Artifact's bringing her.

In short, she'll be extraordinarily relieved once they can leave this city of Nidos for once and for all after having claimed this Sword.

Nathan approaches Shiva in the morning. Despite their differences in the past, he and Gallade certainly can't ignore this. "You gonna be okay?"

@Iron, I forget to mention Heart would take the first encounter in search the cave Nidoking mentioned to find a couple of Moonstones, two to be more precise. Since I lost two items and give up a sword, no chance in hell I going to leave this place with empty hands.

He also refuse the offer of help of anyone, Nathan more than anyone. He wants a time alone.

He also points to Spira's obsidian dagger.

(I'm assuming someone tells Spira that the Nido's are interested in his dagger, as he's too immersed in the dexterity honing activity to notice it pointing at him)
"Hwe?" Spira stops what he's doing and when he notices the Nidoking pointing at the dagger he made, he's able to infer the implications; "If our negotiations hinge on me giving up this knife, then so be it." Spira presents the knife, holding itt sideways (blade in one hand, hilt in the other), to the Nidoking.

Shiva is fearful about anyone but her Pokemon coming closer, flinches away at first before she realizes that it's just Nathan and Gallade: This causes Azu and Whimsicott to take protective stances just in case. "I'll be okay...." is what natural fae-enthusiast issues as a response with a quiet voice in between two sips of strong and sugary coffee, "....I just don't want to linger here for longer than necessary, too many....Nidos around. Too many....BIG Nidos, I don't like them." She shudders and her hands are trembling lightly, that she still manages to keep herself together is quite impressive actually.

(I'm assuming someone tells Spira that the Nido's are interested in his dagger, as he's too immersed in the dexterity honing activity to notice it pointing at him)

Shiva can do this as she's been curious what Spira's doing there with the dagger before.
EDIT: She's got that obsidian Hard Stone she only occasionally uses - she'd offer that one to him later as a replacement with words of "In case you wish to craft a new one".
