[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Ventus raised both eyebrows at the blatant lie the boy tried to feed him, since his empathy was CLEARLY telling him that Nate was almost shooken to his core by the news, causing the researcher to grow only more concerned over them, not less. Still, he knew that getting the young anti social trainer to open up about his fears/woes would be like trying to pry a Forretress shell open to see what was within, and even more difficult in the company of others, so all he gave them was an curious, worried, yet understanding look that said 'We'll talk about it when you are ready,' before responding to opinion.

"Shiva has expressed similar sentiments as you, and I agree that going through the rocky terrain should be the most expedient way to reach the city without confronting Almanac, but there are risks associated with such an endevour. I've climbed Twist Mountain on a couple of occasions during some of my field research expediations, and its thoroughly rough, grueling experience if you are not properly prepare or have the stamina for it. I've heard the mountains in this area of Cheshire are considered 'impassible' by the locals, so the task might prove too difficult unless we buy hiking gear and/or can request the aid of our Pokémon to get us through the pass safely. Then their is the weather to consider, as if it rains at all then traversing over the mountain trails become even more harrowing, and could result in us being stranded on a cliffside for who knows how long if the downpour persists. Even with that knowledge in mind, do you still wish to go through the mountains to Stair City, my friends?"
