[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

The eremite brings a portion of a very rich black mud he calls "hurtloam." "Spread this on your Pokemon. It's a natural cure that will restore a little energy to a Pokemon, even a fainted one." (It restores 1hp no matter what, limit 1/day/Pokemon). "It also instantly cures Poison, Paralysis, or other nasty persistent issues. Not something like a Burn, Sleep, or Confusion though."
He demonstrates on Gliscor, waking her up.

"You can identify hurtloam by the little specks of gold in it. Any Ground-type Pokemon can confirm your finding. It likes low fertile valleys where water once ran."


"You could stay in this cave, or I could show you a relatively safe space at the bottom. It's hard to find. Heart, feel free to explore, but you'll need to leave my trestle alone while I'm working on it. The Skull Ruins have many layers, but what Nathan says is indeed accurate. Or was, a century ago."

Sadly, no cell reception.

Sweet.  If there's some of that Hurtloam to spare, looks like Orthros isn't going to be fainted for the night.  Shame Nathan doesn't have a ground type of his own if he thinks he's found more of that, though...something to consider for the future, maybe...but not something Nathan plans on getting soon.  What he has right now is fine with him.  Couldn't hurt to take a little with him if there's some to spare, either.

"...yeah, pokemon pertaining to this Disaster of Stone and Sarimanok's plans and interests are probably roaming the halls now...Tangela and Tangrowth are a new addition for sure..."

Drat, no signal...maybe there'd be better luck lower down...*sigh*...and though it IS warm(er) in this cave, the tent's warm(er) too...and not a cave floor...he has so many questions though...but maybe Mesprit would answer a few of them later...

"...I guess I'll stay a little longer with Heart, see what can be learned.  Maybe meet everyone back at the campsite when we're done here..."
