[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Good for the good professor. Because being one wouldn't have saved him from being snarled at for asking whether his parents had a particular liking for these berries or similar unfunny things, especially with that alcohol in his blood.

He gives Rowan another 'No big deal'-gesture, then offers him his hand to take for sake of making the deal. "Good choice, professor. And yeah, I'm the technician for all the PA systems in the Gym. Aka the local technique nerd, as Roxie 'affectionately' calls me. Ahhh...." He leans back onto his chair as much as he can before he'd fall backwards and slumbs into it, facing the super-intersting ceiling with the drink still in his hand. Octavia, having rested on his shoulder until now, leaps off from that spot and into his lap where she curls up into a sparkling blue feline, and soon she begins to breath slowly and steadily all while purring softly. He absent-mindedly begins to stroke his beloved faeeveelution's back."What day is it again? I think I was assigned to do some soundchecks tonight... She's probably running riot at the moment wondering where the hell I am. She's a good person when you know her better, she really is, but she's sooo short-tempered if you get on her wrong side.....!"

Ah. In that case, Kee does have one question for the good professor: "What preparations d'ya recommed for... let's call it 'dealing with that issue'? I mean, anything special to bring along or such that'd be useful or similar. How many healing supplies to bring along and such. I hardly ever take longer trips myself, so I'm.... fairly lost on that front." He scratched the back of his and barely even faces the professor, carefully hinting that this is a weakpoint of his.

"Today is the 6th of June.  Hard to believe with how frigid it is outside, I know, but that's just how it is this far north in Sinnoh."

Rowan shakes Kee's hand, then answers his main question in detail (sort of).  "Part of the negotiations I was doing earlier involved getting funds for supplementary supplies.  I got enough for 4 trainers, seeing as I originally recruited that many.  Seeing as the 4th person I just recruited is more than capable of obtaining their own supplies, though, I don't think he'll mind if I give his share to you, Kee.  It is only supplementary, however.  Be prepared to spend about two days on the Routes that lead to Mt. Coronet.  Scaling the mountain via the interior typically takes several days as well, as it is the largest landmark in the Sinnoh region.  Having many Potions and status healing items, particularly for Poison and Confusion, is generally recommended for long visits to cave interiors.  Having items that can defrost pokemon would also be advisable, given the large number of Ice types that live on and around the mountain.  That is just based on my own experiences climbing the mountain when it isn't out of whack, though, so be prepared for anything.  I don't know what exactly you all are going to find in there.  As such, though, having plenty of strong pokeballs would also be recommended.  If a foe is particularly tough but you've managed to weaken them, a well thrown pokeball can easily end the battle right then and there, as well as possibly reward you with a rare or powerful pokemon species."
