[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

By the light of the Rapidash, your bees come back in the affirmative. Princess, who looked like she scouted higher, is glowing with pleasure, eyes closed, as if she saw something wonderful and is savoring it.

Zippy, by contrast, his tiny body is trembling in fear.

I took a honeybee class recently and it turns out bees communicate rather geometrically. They will crawl in a pattern that shows the other bees where the honey is, based on the current position of the sun. So if the honey was due north, and the sun was due west, they would do their honey dance going at a 90 degree angle.

Nathan has noticed the Combee do this whenever they come back from a Honey Gather trip. With a little coaxing, the bees now show the location of what they saw, on a vertical cliffside.

Zippy indicates something slightly upward and significantly to the left (south). Princess indicates something far up: first you go left, then right, then left to center and up to the goal.

Hmmm...

"...so there's something dangerous in the direction you went, Zippy?

*nod*

  And I take it you found what we might be looking for, Princess?

*blissful nod*

Did it look like there might be a safe way up for the Metagross?"

Both nod and retrace the back-and-forth path again.
