[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

1 Xp to all.

Here's what Solomon points out, in order. Some of them he hesitates, and just points to a blank part of the page. Some of the symbols seem to have different meanings when paired with other symbols, basically.



S ?? E E R     ? O R ??      N I ??   S L A S ?

The symbol on his crown,
,
is K.


Loyalty: (6) vs (5)(5) Slowking decides to practice his Hidden Power on Kirlia and again on the wall of the Pokemon Center.

Hidden Power 1
(4)(3)(1)
Evasion: 9 dice -2 actions
(5)(3)(2)(6)(6)(5)(4)

Kirlia dodges, but the wall is not so nimble. 

Hidden Power 2
(4)(4)


T O    G O    ? O R W A R D     K I R L I A     M U S T    ? I R S T    G O    B A ?


Bits of the wall go flying in all directions, leaving smudged (unreadable) outlines of the Old Unown. The brick dust settles on the floor.

Kirlia gives Solomon a bit of a glare.  Nathan waves it off, though.  Solomon seems to have decided to do that for a reason...

So, the target of Hidden Power seems to affect what the message says...

The first one was targeted at Daikatuna, so it talks about...Nathan's not entirely sure.  But it doesn't seem super duper important...

Why the symbol is on Solomon's crown is K, Nathan's not entirely sure either.

That third message, though...that was easy to translate the missing letters in that context.

To go forward, Kirlia must first go back.

Oof...from the sound of things...

Nathan would have to seriously consider what that really means.  There were only a few things it could...he'd consider it a little more tonight, after...*sigh*...he recalls everyone except Kirlia again.  Time to get this over with...he really hoped Shiva was more receptive to this than Ventus was...

Welp, to the lobby to wait for Shiva we go.  She'll find him nomming on that leftover lasagna, looking a little melancholy again.
