[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"...*yaaawwwnnn*...what's going on?"

Ventus clasped his hands in delight as he saw Nathan and Kirlia exit the tent, and couldn't help the chuckled that escaped from the sight of them both being so bedraggled the young trainer was (Though his joy was somewhat diminished by Heart quickly departing from their company), and quickly updated him on the situation. "A good morning to you too, my friend! Hmm, as for what has occurred while you've been sleeping like a Snorlax..." The researcher then proceeded to rely all the information gathered from both his and Shiva questioning of the two weary travelers, placing special emphasis that Almanac was involved in blocking off the Route's exit into Stair City, and the fact that the suspicious corporation was investigating the Skull Ruins.

"...and that is the summation of the current situation. We have but three choices presented to us in light of Almanac's blockading the end of Route 4, besides waiting for them to finish their 'research' and depart from the area, but I would think that is an option none of us supports one iota of a bit. We can either takes a detour throught Trillum and head through Mt. Sentry and into Cress City in order to reach Stair, we can traverse the mountainous terrain around where the Almanac Scientists are conducting their research and bypass them entirely, or we can attempt to make our way past the checkpoint, either covertly or with force."

"Personally, I'm in favor of braving the checkpoint and continuing onwards, as the shady corporation does NOT have the League's authority backing up or sanctioning their blockade, and so they 'can't' keep from passing unless other circumstance apply. Their is a clothing store nearby that would allow us to dress up like the on site researchers so that we can get attempt to sneak through the checkpoint, but worst comes to worst and we just have to brute force our way past. Of course, I would like to hear what the rest of the group wishes to do first before we commit to choice, but I just wanted to through my own opinion/reasoning/support for the third option. Thoughts, my friends?"
