[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

The Almanac brings up entries on Selkid, Syrentide, Brailip, and Brainoar. Similar species would include Glavinug and Eletux. And don't forget Vaporeon with her mermaid's tail!

However, peering down into the darkness, you can't make out the well or any Pokemon. You do hear a few splashes.

Oh... Right, there's Vaporeon. *epic facepalm* Especially this Syrentide and Selkid sound like a Pokemon Shiva would mark as the source of this hypnotic singing, and the occasional splashes confirm to her that SOMETHING lives down there.

She gives an inquirering look towards her special blue fae-rabbit. "Listen, Azu... Would you be brave enough to head down into this water and see what is down there? The first Artifact, it must be somewhere down there or otherwise nearby, you see. I just like you to scout the waves a bit, preferably without accidently causing a ruckus or getting into a fight with the beings who call this body of water their home. ....Up for it, dear one? If anyone on my hand is suited for this, then it's you."

Shiva turns towards the others with the same gaze she gave Azu: "People, do you have any Pokemon on hand that could dive down there too to see what awaits us? Depending on what they find out, we can decide whether it's safe to get down there ourselves or not."

What she'd especially wish for, is no Pokemon leaving the radius in which they can be safely and normally withdrawn into their Pokeball shall danger find them.

Seeing Terra making such a fuss over her wellbeing, Shiva couldn't help but to chuckle to herself as she does her best to assure him that everything's safe and sound. "I'm fine, I'm fine! Nothing happened. I was just...." She throws an apologizing glance over to Spira, then scratches the back of her head and adjusts her cloak all to overplay her embarassment. "....Well, curiosity caught me again. ^_^; I was following a lil' rat-like Pokemon I've never seen before, they somehow entered the card artwork and I followed. Spira, being the hero he is, came after me by his own will. No danger or threat has found us though!" She gently hugs his right arm to express a shy 'thank you', then goes  "Pssst, that smol Pokemon's trying to sleep now!~" towards Terra.

Marc will be eligible after another encounter. 

You touch down on a tiny archipelago of rocky islands. Little blue Pokemon with fish tails for hair slip away into the water,  their singing fading a you enter their domain. 

In the half darkness, little sapphires sparkle in the ceiling and scattered within the islands. There are also cut blocks of cobalt making up pillars, docks, and one vast stubby column with multiple buckets on chrome winches. Chrome statues of Slowpoke and family line the rim, carved to look like they're operating the machinery. 

The main source of the singing is the largest island. The cobalt and sapphire have been worn away to smooth stone covered in blue sand. A massive body covered in scales is slung across the island with its tail dipping  into the well column. She wears a golden trident in her scaly hair, and carries another that glows faintly. A spherical jewel gleams in the weapon, which looks like a crude mega stone. She is singing tunelessly, but as you gather she changes her tune. 

Unown float up out of the water, creating short phrases as the Syrentide smiles at you. 

W E L C O M E T O M Y I S L A N D!

A swarm of Unown point upwards at a collapsed portion of the flooded chamber. Ghostly eyes protrude from the darkness up there.

All the while, the song swirls about the chamber, bolstering your strength. Every character heals 1hp.

Heart was practice a bit with his Earthpower connection thought some meditation but when Shiva and Spira disappear he almost enter the card to get try get them back. 

Until the moment they returned. He take a releaf sigh and told them both. "Don't scare us like that! I thought it was some sort of Space thing again! Me and Rose still have bad memories about it..."

About Syrentide, Heart decided to leave Terra and Shiva as diplomatic persons. But did Syrentide notice Terra and Heart Jirachi blessings of Steel and Fire? Not to mention Heart high connection to Earthpower.
