[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

"At the very least their is no wretch archmage manipulating the area and plotting our demise this time...."

The group was attacked by a man who claimed to have created the swamp we encountered on Route 01.  He used no pokemon, and was incredibly sturdy and inhumanly strong and fast.  He also had a friend, but she got bored and left when the group didn't take the obvious bait.

We've since learned he's what's known as an Earth Scimitar, a member of a small group of 'mages' able to manipulate elements like earth and water, and with ambitious objectives of their own.  Valder has some ties to them, though he doesn't really talk about his past much.

Ralts (now Kirlia) HATES that man with a passion.
