[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

"The power of the Gauntlets lets us tap into magical energies representing any type or species of Pokemon that exists or has ever existed. The strongest of our order can borrow abilities at will from any Pokemon in the multiverse. As for me, I simply adore the power of earth and steel, and cast many spells enhancing my stolidity and bulk."

"The Earth Scimitars don't believe we have any duty to control Creshire at a political level. What power we have, is just the power in the Gauntlets. The Water Scimitars want to use magic to summon the powers of Sarimanok in addition to the powers of the Artifacts. They think bringing up those dark, forbidden powers will give them control over the League and the residents here. To that end, they carry lots of Psychic types and weather-controlling Water types."



Cosh, with a spark from his gauntlet, helps by flinging a few larger rocks than Terra could lift into the trapped area. Some more traps go off, sending up gouts of flame, ancient spears, or spikes of animated earth. Others don't go off when Terra throws pebbles, but do go off upon receiving giant boulders (weighing as much as a human or large Pokemon).

"......Any Pokemon? Even the Legendaries? ......Have your bosses......already drawn on that sort of Strength?""

Terra was visibly surprised and troubled by this reveal, his curiosity evaporating at the sheer versitile and unmitigated power that Scimitars could potentially wield. Regardless of the current reality, it was a quite sobering possibility, and made him all the more aprehensive of dueling with the techno arcanists in the future....

Still, the steely brawler didn't remained unnerved for long, his face smoothing back out into its usual stoicism as he coughed into a fist.

"......Cool. Me......Don't have favorite Type, but do have.......strong connection to Steels. Have.....ability to Evolve Pokemon that need Metal Coat too, and......strengthen Steel Moves. *Beat* Can you tell me about some of the.....Spells you use? Like your buffs, or boulder lifting? Are the buffs......usable on people other than yourself?"

As for the info on the contrasting goals of the two Scimitar factions, the mountain of a man mulls it over, before raising a few more question/concerns.

"Do you think the Water Scimitars will.....pay us and the Skull Ruins a visit, or interfere with our plans? Cause us, Earth Scimitars, and Cheshire......more problems if their plans succeed or fail badly?"

Seeing that the entire Shallow Ground was chock full of traps, tricks, and treachery, Terra decides upon the simplest solution to it all: returning Oinari to her ball, and summoning Angie into the airspace above him and Cosh. Initially, the supreme seraphic serpent takes one good look at the person beside her papa and lets out a startled/angry *SSSzzzzZ!* and looked ready to start breathing Dragon fire on them, but he was quick to intervene and explain the situation before things went literally up in flames. She calm down soon afterwards, but she saw fit to give the wily wizard the stink eyes and a warning rumble, pretty planing conveying that if he did ANYTHING bad to her and her papa, he'd regret his decision rather quickly!

Once that was settled, Terra told Angie to lower her tail on the ground, and then turned to his partner, motioning to his other bigger partner.

"Climb on. Angie can fly over traps, and shield us from most of them. Can check out more of area from above too."

Order: More 'casual' conversation between the most robust men of either of the groups, and just fly over the traps and investigate the Shallow Ground/Beyond further from there! Simple (Or not - time will tell)!
