[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

You wait for the soldiers to wander a little less, and then you slip away west. Soon you come to a point where the road decreases in width, losing the little statuettes and the rails. There are still signs of grandiosity, though, in the shadow of the peak. There are frequent guard towers with all kinds of silver-threaded banners, rare Pokemon, and big statues of royal figures with gems in them. And each has a Bronzong floating above it, draped in finery.

These Bronzong are also posted halfway between each tower. Nathan knows they can be run at any time by any one to summon assistance, though guards might be upset if you waste their time on unworthy obstacles.

That being said, there's plenty of road out of sight of either guard tower or Bronzong, and that's where the wild Pokemon remain. It's also possible to find items fallen out of carts, which run back and forth constantly even at night.

Beautiful wells are sunk into the ground, guarded by Conkeldurr. Certain tiles in the road have been laced with silver and mother of pearl - when the moon shines on them, they reflect the light in gorgeous patterns. Dizzy loves it.
Now and then, metallic arches stretch across the road, serving no practical function other than to display signposts in a more angular script than is used in 1925+.

You find a spot that seems rich in Pokemon life (and plant life too) where you can all go do your own thing while remaining in shouting distance.

Encounters Route 13 - 500 AD

1. Name: Army Engineer John
Cap: 1
Challenge: Somewhat easy
Bid start: 1
Notes: A fat man with brown hair, with streaks of red in it, is spreading concrete on a broken well. As soon as it is in place he spritzes it with a solution, and it hardens instantly. "Isn't technology incredible?" he grins.
He's willing to bet gold against goods he could use in his work, and it looks like he'll have helpful Pokemon rather than martial ones.
