[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan has to pause and look.

A dead Houndour.

And whoever had done the deed was still nearby.

Hmmmm...he has an idea, but he is certainly grieving over the dead dog as well.  These hounds didn't deserve such a final fate, did they?

Still on Swiftfire, who is ready to bolt at a moment's notice, he says, "I'm sorry for your loss, Houndour...I'm certain that one was a great friend of yours...your pack is a strong one.  It's admirable, that strength and loyalty.  So I'd like to ask if one of you would like to come with me, meet whoever did this to your friend.  If not, I'll just leave, and you can attend to him in peace.  I can promise that you'll be raised to be strong enough to avoid and prevent such fates if one of you does join, though."

(If one decides to join, Nathan will put it in a Flash Ball and maybe get a picture of this strange land.  Regardless of the result, he'll leave the remaining Houndour to clean up the mess and continue after those footsteps.  No need to push his luck further, after all...)
