[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

It turns out that the mage has quite a haul on him, as they had medical items and wealth on top of intel and a key to somewhere here (Perhaps...) after the researcher and his drake finished their search. He also had two Pokémon, relatively weak species, but Ventus has learned not to judge by appearance/the norm when it comes to anything relating to vile wizard. Reaching into his satchel for a cloth, plastic gloves, and some disinfectant, Ventus proceed to thoroughly clean the Pokeball of any DNA evidence, before handing the over for Valder to put with his belonging. The researcher also briefly took a roll of duck tape out of his bag, ripped off a big piece, and placed it over the guard's mouth so that he doesn't make any racket while bound! 'If he can move around or alert other, he's less than an nominal threat at this point, but it never hurts to take all the precaution possible,' he thought, before they also hand over one Potion and Antidote to Shiva, 1 Potion to Valder , and pockets the Nuggest and cash himself for the time being.

"Here, Valder, take these and keep up with them. Its doubtless you know how to hide things on your person, given the fact I don't see anything like my satchel or Shiva/Nathan bag on you, so no one but you should be able to easily uncover their existence. The Potion is just a nice safety net to have on hand, as usual. Shiva, Nathan and I already have plenty of medical supplies at the moment, so I want you to take the other two medical items for your own use. I'll keep hold of the money for now, then later liquidate the Nuggest for its monetary value and split it equally among ourselves for our own uses once we escape this base, alright? As for the guantlets...." the empath tells everyone as he dolls out the items to everyone, then turns to see the afformention article of protection. They made his skin crawl by even touching them, and Kyuu even share his discontent for the blasted things, but leaving them here with the Scimitar would be pure folly.

That, and despite the sense of revultion he around the items, he couldn't help but become curious about just exactly what they are capable of doing. With no small measure of reluctance, he put the magical metal gloves in his inventory, before standing up, dusting himself off, and motioning to the still asleep Scimitar.  "...I'll keep them in my satchel for safe for the time being, and we can all investigate what exactly they do later. Now that we have completely neutralized this Scimitar's capacity to threaten us, we have a few option as to how to handle him. We can either leave him tied up here sleeping for the time being, since he is not likely to be escaping from his binds, but there is always the possiblity that some other patrol will find and arm them once more to start hunting us down in earnest. We can also knock him out with Psychic type attacks so as to remove him from the equation entirely for the unforeseeable future, but there is always a chance that the League might pick the faint traces of those moves and make our lives much harder. Finally, we can wait around until he awakens, then pump him for all the information he has on this base of operations, before knocking him out, but he'll remember what we look/sound like if we go down that route ('Note to self: by a mask sometime in the future.'). I have my own preference as for his final fate, but I'll keep it to myself for the time being. Now that I have discussed our options, what should we do with them?"

Oh, and he also passed around that piece of paper he found to everyone, in order to alert them of the possibility of traps being in the area...just like he suspect. Blast those meddling archmages and their overly elaborate security systems!!!
