[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Ventus travels down the dripping tunnel. It's getting warmer as he descends. Malphena is looking a little unsure about the location of the Shedinja.

After an hour, you still haven't found Shedinja. It's very hard to get clues of this Pokemon, since it can phase through walls and doesn't leave any behavioral patterns like claw marks or droppings or predation. All you have to go on is Malphena's fear sense. She knows you need to bear west, while the tunnel goes mostly north now.

The temperature at this point is comfortable, but the dripping ice makes it less so.

The sociologist couldn't help but sigh in frustration as his quary continued to allude him after an hour passed, pulling at the collar of his sweator as the ambient heat of the tunnel steadily increased. 'Its times and environs such as now that I regret wearing warm wooly wear, but I shall persevere onwards.....'

He knew that tracking down Shedinja was hardly going to be an easy task, but he didn't image it could cover so much ground/rock so quickly! Malphena's assessment that it current bearing was due west DID give him a vital clue to work with, but the problem with it was that their path was almost entirely Northwards. Confound it!

Ventus wearily mused over how continue the pursuit for the insectspector, when he remembered a key detail that had eluded him before: he had Turiel with him! With that though leaving him smiling tiredly, the researcher pulled out some food for his ironclad ant with one hand before he flick his other wrist, sending out her Pokeball and materializing her shortly thereafter. He then crouched down and beconned her to come over for a well deserved treat, patting her head as she munched through it with calm contentness. When she was finished, Ven looked at her with an entreating smile and politely made his request:

"Turiel,  I have summoned you not only to treat you, but to humbly ask for your aid. Right now, I am tracking down a certain Pokémon called a 'Shedinja' with my cute little spirit Malphena's , and she says its heading westward. Unfortunately, the tunnel we are in now goes mostly to the North, so I'm in a bit of a fix in finding the Bug/Ghost type. Thus we come my request: could you use Dig to carve a tunnel towards the west, or more specifically in the direction that Malphena indicates? Between her fear sense and ability to phase through rock, Lucifer providing us Tailwinds to envigerate us, and you exacavating prowess, we should eventually stumble upon Shedinja! What do you say, my sister?"

Order: Summon Turiel to help dig a tunnel towards the location of Shedinja, with Malphena help leading the way and Lucifer speeding things up with Tailwind! They won't escape me without a hard fought struggle, let me tell you!
