[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

As you journey on, still struggling against the powerful gravity, you're finding ever more Slakoth and Slowpoke. Some of them are carrying thin chips of mica. Lots of water is dripping from spots on the ceiling, creating lots of stalactites. Some of the leaks have been worked into lovely stonemasonry pools.

Now and then you find a Vigoroth marching ahead, or a Slowbro in a pool, offering leadership to the younger forms.

You come to a place where the walls are lined with living Elder Unown, spelling out the longest message you've seen so far.

on the other.

Reading these cryptic writings is a little Slowking without a tail. He keeps one claw on the wall for balance. The nub of his tail twitches when you get close, but otherwise he seems to be deep in concentration.

"Yea, forever changed.
Reformed by the Gauntlet.
Empowered by destiny.
Ye who pass the Veil..." mutters the Slowking out loud.
