[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

Ventus goes on ahead and walks for a couple hours; still no sign of Shedinja. Malphena still doesn't seem worried. Then he comes to a very wide fork in the road and is not sure which way the group will want to go. One tunnel leads mostly downward and seems especially chilly, slick with ice.
Another tunnel goes slightly upward. It's dripping water.
The third tunnel seems to have a lot of twists and turns, doubling back.

The group should catch up in a couple hours, Ventus reckons.

Looking at each of the paths with a contemplative expression while rubbing his chin, Ventus pondered just which path did that ever elusive Shedinja take, before turning towards Malphena and Lucifer and offer them befuddled smile.

"The main path splits, just as Mr. Finer predicted. The question now is which one Shedinja choose themselves, or beyond that which one is the safest for ourselves to traverse. Hmm....Malphena, any idea which path they took? If not, which path do you think is the most ideal one for us to take? Lucifer, what are you thoughts on this, my brother?"

Order: Try to get a bearing on where the hecky that Shedinja went, and failing that try to acertain which path is the 'best'/'worst' by consulting with Malphena and Lucifer, with each briefly scouting ahead into each if necessary to form an opinion. Intelligence is what needed right now, not choosing a way to go willy nilly!

Malphena isn't quite sure which path to take, but she thinks she has a connection on Shedinja. Ventus theorizes she may be able to follow the fear/doom spread in its wake. So she knows which compass point direction Shedinja went, but not which tunnel leads there - and Shedinja can phase right through walls. Closest is the dripping tunnel.

Lucifer has no way of knowing anything about Shedinja, but he does NOT want to go down the especially chilly tunnel.
