[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

The gauntlets are a match, Valder is sure, and Ventus is pretty sure too.

The man speaking to you doesn't seem to care specifically about the mask now that he knows you don't have a gauntlet on. He says "This is a secure laboratory. How did you get in here?" It's clear they are not going to let you any further into the lab, but they are also not yet acting as if you're an enemy. Seems they buy your Skuntank story, though it in no way grants you access to the lab.

The guy at the computer does look longingly at Theo. Valder catches him at it and knows his guess was right.

The disguised researcher lets out an airy, throaty chuckle at the 'gentleman's' question, saying to them "A mutual.....friend of ours told us how to get......here, though nothing about why or what this place is......." before (With a gloved hand, mind you) reaching into his satchel and drawing out his Metal Gauntlet in their plain view. "Sorry for not......wearing this when I came in, but I draw......enough attention thanks to my wardrobe. I don't like.....the way it feels against my........skin too, so I tend to......avoid wearing it unless I.....need to use it." While he's holding 'his' Metal Guantlet, his other hand is loosely hanging by his side, ready to flick out Michael's and Apsis Pokeball should the situation go 'Loud'.

Order: Try to bluff them AGAIN with that short story in order to get them to loosen up and let them explore the lab. If success, he'll ask simply to be told about the place/what's in it, since he's never been here before, and be allowed in it. If not success/they get their panties up in a bunch, proceed with the assumption that Ventus and Valder are going to soon be having violent times with them.

Bluff one successful, time to see if he passes another.....
