[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Vincent goes on a long journey 'round. He has to double back west, cross the stone bridge, triple back until he's across the river from where he started. This is unfortunate in terms of timing: that's 3 hours wasted before he can even begin properly.

The second challenge is tracking a Pokemon that essentially flew. Mostly what you have to go on is little tiny itty bitty burnt spots where a spark fell. This is cross-country trekking, because there are only footpaths here.

2 Insight + 0 survival, + 1 dice for Winston's nose.

(2)(1)(6)

You're following them here and there, but you are mostly aided by knowing the initial trajectory of Voltorb.

Along the way, I am pleased to report that you don't spot any Deyo flowers. If they're related to the appearance of rare Pokemon, flying overhead is not enough.

After six hours of total travel time, you come to a place where Voltorb seems to have impacted, creating a splash zone in some mud and gravel. You search around, knowing the Pokemon must have been fainted when it landed and might not be awake yet. The Divide is another 2 miles in the distance south of you, creating a nice backdrop for your journey.

Soon enough, you find Voltorb unconscious in a patch of weeds. Occasionally it spits sparks in its sleep. It'll be dark in about 2 hours, and it will take you 2 hours to reach the river again. (Not 3 since you aren't tracking now).
