[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Valder saves Ventus' ass by stepping in and displaying knowledge of the Secret Library, neatly cutting off his employer.

"Yeah, the Waters are trying their own hand at things. They're racing to the Library too. Honestly I think they are more interested in stopping us than getting there themselves. They've done a lot of things to mess with us, including betrayal of other Scimitars. Leaking information to our enemies."

"Erm, The Gauntlet?" He laughs nervously. "I think you mean 'gauntlets,' and Grunts don't get those. Right, Mr....?" This last part is directed at Ventus. He wants to know Ventus' name, and both Valder and Ventus can tell he's lying about The Gauntlet.

"So, yeah, apparently this Shiva girl who just got slaughtered by a freakin' Taillow, she knows something about the Library's location. Once we find out what she knows, we can get in there ourselves. Every Scimitar has different reasons for wanting to get inside - who wouldn't? - but we are united! Ha, look at that little Cherubi. These people act like Pokemon are so great, and then they purposely use the weakest ones possible? Ridiculous. Pokemon should be...like, heard and not seen."

"As I was trying to say, we know the Library is underneath Mt. Sentry, but even after months of work we haven't mapped all the tunnels. Not even Cosh. So we're trying to find it another way. You, Grunt, how close are you to your Ritual of Wielding?" Valder seems to be "Grunt."
