[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Spoiler

Nathan is diggin'. As soon as he starts excavating, he realizes the wall is not 100% stable...but he sees a very well preserved fossil, right there!!

It looks like fossil-rich silt is washed in by underground rivers and then turned to stone by immense subterranean pressure and many many thousands of years.

5 Dexterity + 3 Survival +0 Science
(6)(1)(1)(5)(2)(6)(5)(4) - 5 successes. He uncovers a fossil.
(3)(2) = 5, pretty average. Nathan finds an intact Claw fossil! He also gets a few shards of sandstone with incomplete imprints from Shellder. These are too common to sell, and don't contain any DNA, but they are neat.

There definitely look to be more fossils inside this wall, but he's made it slightly less stable, so it'll be a little harder next time if he wants to continue.

Well, if there's still more, let's keep going!

...after safely getting the other loot out first, of course. 

Would using the pitons and 10x10 metal net be helpful here in case the wall collapses?  Ralts will also provide support with Lucky Chant!

Nathan hammers the net into place. Now if the wall collapses, he should be safe. Makes it a little harder to mine, though, in addition to that instability.

(4)(2)(5)(6)(3)(6) Luckily, the wall is almost as stable as the first time.
(4)(6) = 10. A rarer fossil. Nathan finds a biiiig mineralized toenail. Elephant sized. 
Insight + Knowledge + Science: (3)(3)(1)(1)(2)(6) Luckily, Nathan visited the Creshire Museum, and is 100% positive this isn't any of the fossils or species listed there! (or in his journal). His knowledge roll wasn't good enough to determine anything else about it though. He's just confident it's a toenail.

Again? He's not positive if there are any more good fossils with DNA, or not, but he can see more depressions and things.
