[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Valder will kinda look around the library with Theo some more. I'm getting tired, but I believe I haven't directly asked the Slaking for help, so I'll do it now for finding the key.
 Valder doesn't know what to tell Theo, he's thankful for the care.

(I'm performing in a circus/theatre tomorrow and I should go to bed a bit earlier. Good night)

Alright. Sooner or later Slaking will find the key and hand it over, but with a stern look and a warning. "Be very sure you want to open that book before doing so! It looks like a powerful grimoire of some kind. Don't like Crocanaw's cartoonish look fool you. I get the feeling those dark threads tell the real story."



Slaking suddenly notices a dim light glowing above the closed marble doors. "We have visitors." He touches a panel and a one-way peephole opens. You can see an ARMY of Scimitars outside, each wearing a gauntlet. There must be fifty of the robed figures. They are examining the reinstated force field, the steps, the Apricorns, and the Guardians, careful not to touch anything. But some of the Scimitars are firing attacks with a wave of their hand - purple and red and greenish beams of power lancing out to strike the forcefield.

Eventually one knocks on the marble doors and you can see him mouthing, "Hello?"

The eldest Scimitars look like they are about to confront the Guardians.

Slaking: "Hehe, if they get your riddles wrong, they'll be sent right back into the shifting passages of Mt. Sentry. And that shifting will be hastened, and several Onix will be summoned by the vibration. Hooligans." He doesn't seem TOO worried, perhaps because his Library can't get any messier.
