[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

A critical roll is needed to advance.

Earthpower: (4)(6)(4)(4)(2)(3) (2)(4)(5)(2)(2)


The summoning of Earthpower makes the crystal caverns reverberate strangely. It seems to grow a little darker, then lighter again. All the hairs on Marc's body stand up on end, and the room is charged with static electricity. In fact, that's the first thing you notice changing - those hairs, especially in the whisker area, begin to recede. So does the tail.

After about an hour of chanting and channeling, the Kadabra with Magic Guard has grown to human stature once more - tall and broad shouldered like Nathan remembers Marco being. The hands have also become more familiar. But the eyes... the eyes are still cold and Kadabra-like. The creature immediately sinks deeper into unconsciousness. Still, it's enough to spark hope within Nathan Warren, for now he can be positive this is his dad and that there's hope of returning him to human form!!

Heart thinks it will take two more nights of this to fully restore Marco.

Cosh is a little dismissive. "This is the legendary Trainer? This is Marco Warren? Some help this side trip has turned out to be."

Gallade would grab Heart before he hits the ground.

Nathan ROUNDs on Cosh.  And Luxray probably snarls.

Nathan speaks in a low tone that's got a hint of aggression in it as he glares at the Scimitar.  "...that is my father you're talking about, Cosh.  And if you expected him to be in peak condition after three years of being stuck here, then I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken."

Nathan crosses his arms.

"...at the very least, we rescued most of my dad's pokemon too, and THEY can DEFINITELY fight.  Something they wouldn't be quite so capable of without his help and care. You could be a little more thankful for that."

Nathan turns his back on Cosh and starts writing down the names of all of the other Kadabra as well (including the female ones with Solomon's assistance and the various buffs/debuffs). He's fed up with talking with the Scimitar Admin. But given that they're temporarily working together to traverse the Skull Ruins more safely, he's restraining himself, however barely.

There's still one Kadabra missing, unfortunately, but this should help knock off more than a few names on various missing persons reports later.  Something that he's sure a LOT of people are going to appreciate later.

Oh, and I'm sure Luxray would be MORE than happy to carry Marco around personally to make sure he a) stays safe and b) doesn't cause any trouble.  Sitting/laying on Luxray probably be a lot more comfortable than Angie for long periods of time, too.
