[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Intimidate: (6)(3)(3)(5)(5)(3) (2)(4)(1)(3)(4)(5) = 6 successes
They don't outnumber you enough to make a difference, but they are on home turf for +1 dice.
Scraggy: (4)(5)(1)(4)(6)(6) (1)(4)(1) = 5 successes.

The Scraggy look at each other, then suddenly move to the side and they all point in the same direction, where there's a forest of thick pine canopy.

(That point in Intimidate DID make a difference! REALLY Glad I got it now!)

Terra's or his Pokémon's fierce expression doesn't soften at the young punks realize what small fish they were and choose discretion over mountain way robbery, but he does give them a nod of his head and pulls out + tosses the leader an Oran Berry for their tip.

"Wise choice. Thank you, and good-bye."

He and his fem fatales then calmly proceed in the direction the Scraggy indicated, using the same formation/scouting tactics as they search for Duskull before they were rudely interrupted. If their search takes them/Genie close to the shadowed spire, they/she will quickly investigate it for the Ghost.

Orders: Bold text explains it all, quite succiently!

Good idea on having Genie search the spire first. You had no reason to believe the Scraggy, after all! 

*rolls*

Genie doesn't find Duskull, but let's see if she finds anything else of any value.

(4)(6)(4)(2)(1) Just a Hard Stone. One of the most common held items of all, but not useless. She brings it back for you.
She also finds a Geodude who is following you curiously. From Ventus' notes, you recognize this Geodude as one that's been following you.

As you walk into the dark woods, Terra feels the earth suddenly give out from under him! It's so dark here that it's hard to see the ground beneath you.

Dex: (5)(6) 

Manectric grabs your robe with his teeth as you fall, and hauls you out of the poorly-hidden pit he almost fell into. Ooo, and there are some small wooden spikes at the bottom too - not enough to do more than annoy someone of Terra's size, but he's heard they are sometimes laced with poisons.

And there's Duskull, slowly creeping up on a very small Nuzleaf with a pink petal in its hair. The Nuzleaf is playing with a doll of bundled leaves. In just a minute they will be out of sight in the near darkness.
