[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

It's a book of children's fables.

Page 33 is a story about the Red Chain's history in Creshire. Once all the gems were formed into a chain, Palkia was tracked down and the chain was placed around him. The villain cackled madly, but Palkia completely ignored the chain and ran him down.

The forming of the chain, however, had summoned all three Lake Spirits, one by one as the links were formed. The villain could not command them when they appeared; only catch their attention with the three parts of the Red Chain. Together, they turned the villain's lethally wounded body into stone, depriving it of willpower, emotion, and awareness for all time. They left it on the Great Divide as a monument not to believe foreign stories.

------------

Page 56 is about Long Grass growing on a meteor crash site. Ralts is even more excited about this page, as you start to read it. This little girl is trying to adventure through the Long Grass, but she keeps being repelled by Clefairy who maze her. Finally, she winds up in the Skull Ruins by accident, where she is assaulted by ghosts and slimy things, until she wanders into one of the crypts. But there she finds a magic helmet, gleaming the same silvery illusory color as meteor stone. With this, she is able to ignore the charms of the Clefairy and finds the magic sword she originally sought within the Long Grass.

This story doesn't seem super relevant to Nathan right now, and Ralts looks a tiny bit disappointed that it didn't turn out how he expected, but he still seems to think it's an important clue somehow.

Hmmm...this is interesting.  He knows a Red Chain can be made from the gems of the Lake Trio in theory...wait a sec...

...this sounds important.  And that second story...maybe there's something to it as well...he can't be certain, though...

"Ralts, this looks like a great find.  It definitely has some interesting stuff in it, and maybe everyone will be able to get some enjoyment out of this book's stories."

So, how much is it to buy this book?
