[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

As you're getting ready to break camp, the great telescope suddenly crackles and comes to life! It rotates upward and the roof of the Kadabra chamber slides aside in one panel, revealing a ceiling of one-way glass.

Fields of force are suddenly generated from the spinning ends of the telescope, creating shimmering lenses of pure energy. Nevertheless, planets and celestial bodies are now visible in the sky! The comet dominates, of course, with a light brighter than the moon.

As you (Shiva?) begin gazing, your eye to the eyepiece, the vision is suddenly obscured by a laughing ghostly face! It's a Gastly, at least at first. Then it elongates into a Haunter and finally the grin of a Gengar. Like a creature from a higher plane intersecting the third dimension, different bits of it are revealed at different times.

Heart waves the specialized anti-Gastly Cleanse Tag at it, and it backs off a bit. But not before it pulls an unnoticed lever amid the weeds, causing the floor to shift and tilt and drop you down into another chamber below!

You find yourself in a kingly chamber, unharmed. The stone walls are decorated with gold plating around the edges. Incredibly intricate designs have been carved onto the walls, Pokemon and men and tools, so intertwined that from a distance it looks like a smoothish, slightly stubbly black wall. Nooks hold statues, each surrounded by ghosts, barely held off by your Repels and Cleanse Tags.

Attracted by the noise, several subterranean Pokemon rush in. They are all faintly magical to the senses of Shiva and Heart, as if somewhat transformed by their time so close to the Kadabra Chambers, or the strange events which always occur here.

Due to your Repels and Cleanse Tags, I'm changing the mandatory nature of these Encounters. None are mandatory now, and I'll add some noncombat encounters for free! They could still have traps and things, but no mandatory fighting. Pokemon from the Skull Ruins can be valuable or interesting, though, so just decide how you want to spend your resources.

You're seeing a lot of Bugs, Ghosts, and burrowers.

Upper Chamber Ruins Encounters

6. Treasure with Pokemon
Cap: 1
Challenge: easy

The only pain Heart felt was a pain in the back. After failing in the chamber below he do 2 things: To check if any of his things broke from the failing. And see if he is still with the Metal Tag.

Then see a treasure in some part of the room. Before he approach however, he takes a look if there is traps armed it, or if there a mechanic trap inside.
