[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Just a quick question: That village is called "Arrowroot Village". Why is called that? The locals was especialize in making arrows or something?"

Nathan explains it to the whole group on the way out of Stair.

"Not quite.  It's named after a starchy root they harvest from the swamp's shallow waters.  It's useful for treating poisons, edible if prepared a certain way...and the locals also say it's got a certain...magical element to it as well.  It's a VERY important part of their culture and history."  Nathan makes sure to emphasize that last part specifically for Ventus (not maliciously or anything, though)

Along the way, Nathan steers his and Valders' Metagross a little ways away from everyone else's to address some stuff. (PM incoming, @Nylon).  They're still in sight though, and the noise of the metagross oughta make it difficult for anyone to eavesdrop. Nathan's directed Metagross back to the group after a short discussion.

Upon reaching the tail end of the Great Divide...

Nathan turns to look at everyone else from atop the metagross he's on. "Well, that's one half of the trip done.  Anyone want to ride on something other than a Metagross now?  There's supposed to be some trails around here that the Ponyta and Yule would do well on."
