[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Nathan's definitely resolved to head in Carbink's direction (making sure to keep a careful eye on the ceiling with Swiftfire's light illuminating the dark coal biome)  Nobody's changing his mind.

"You guys don't have to come if you don't want to.  It might even be better if you don't..."

Nathan does look at Valder, though.  "Would ya mind coming with me, though?  Still don't think traveling without a buddy would be a good idea down here...and having Mamo and Frogadier around if things go south would be a good idea..."

If Valder isn't willing to help (or for expediency's sake), Ventus will also step forward and quietly say: "I'm willing help assist in....what do aim to do about Carbink again? Regardless, I still am willing to render aid. Malphena's Icy Winds are a frigid boon, and Michael can use Spore to put them to sleep if the need arises. That, and with my empathy and expertise in handling Pokémon, any diplomatic exchange you plan between you and them, if any ,will go much smoother if you let me in on them....hopefully, anyway."
