[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

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.

After deliberating with his family memberings (and pondering the implications/applications of Malphena's Fear/Doom Sense) and mulling things over, Ventus ultimately decided he would go down the Dripping Tunnel. It was the one that his sister recommended, he doesn't want to subject his draconic brother to the no doubt artic environs of the Chilly Tunnel (in addition to the fact that half his current team has a weakness to Ice types, which that path no doubt had plenty of), and he didn't want to hazard getting lost in that Winding Tunnel, so by process of elimination the Dripping Tunnel was the correct solution!

Before he embarked on his given course, he first pulled out a Pickaxe and scored a large arrow pointing in the direction of the Dripping Tunnel, along with a short message that said: "Went This Way - V." Since he knew the group would be wondering where in Reshirim's name he disappeared too, he decided that leaving a message/marking for them was in order! With that done, he put away the pickaxes and withdrew the Box Cutter he picked up so long ago at the Water Scimitar Base (The thought of which threatened to make his blood boil once!) to periodically score the walls/floor of the Drippy Tunnel with a double diamond symbol with a line drawn between them, both to keep track of where he went (and help prevent him from getting lost) and to give the group further indication of where he was heading.

Then, and only then, did the researcher resumed his quest for the ethereal insect, his screaming banshee guarding his flank and his little devil scouting the way forward. You will be examined and/or captured yet, Shedinja!

Order: Go down the Drippy Tunnel, as the Chilly Tunnel is not ideal for most of Ven's Team and I don't want to chance the Winding Path! Before that, he'll leaving a marking/message for the group indicating which path he took, and use either his box cutter or the Pick Axe to mark his way along the Drippy Tunnel as added insurance/precaution. This ain't the first time he's journeyed through the dark depths of the mountains guys, so he knows what to do in order to keep himself safe and alive!
