[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

The Ruin Maniac books it! You can hear his footsteps clattering down the path of the Arches.

Ventus keeps up his ominous laughter for several minutes until he can no longer here the Ruin Manaic's harried footsteps as they desperately tried to get away from him, at which point he abruptly ceased such action, letting out a sigh as he stalked back into the shadows again to quietly observe the room for a time to make sure they/nobody else was immediately going to barge right in and interrupt his Plan. He would lying if he didn't take a tiny bit of impish joy at sending the man scurrying off, but at the same time neither could he say he liked acting like a overly sinister Hex Maniac and terrifying their poor soul. 'Oh well, he'll recover from his panic in due time......I hope.'

Order: Wait around in the shadows/hidey spot for long enough to see if the man and/or anyone else decides to enter the Candelabra before doing anything else. The last thing I want is ANYONE interfering with Operation Jack by playing moral guardian/hero or being nosy!

If no one turns ups, began the first portion of Phase Two, Iron! I have other ideas on how to summon Chandelure now that I've spoken with the man if the first part doesn't work, and its a REAL good one, hehehehe.....

No one else is here. You dump the KO'd Patrat onto the floor and find a good shadow to hide in. Though the flames go off every now and then, no Chandelure appear. Adding Honey doesn't help, so you move to slay 'em. Still nothing. Now the chamber floor and Ventus are covered in rodent blood and smelly corpses. Ventus' empathy feels some kind of horrid presence to the north, though, along the path that eventually is said to lead to the Skull Ruins. 

Phase Two does not turn up any Chandelure.
