[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Once everyone has arranged their teams, the group heads to the entrance of Snowpoint Temple, where the female Ace Trainer is standing guard.

"Okay, so there's four of you going in?  Alright then...just be careful if you're headed to the lower levels of the building.  The wild pokemon get stronger the deeper down you go.  And that strange wind, too...but don't tell anyone about the wind, alright?  We're waiting on Candice to check it out herself.  I wouldn't venture that far down if I were you.  The temple has 5 basement floors, and the wind starts to pick up once you've reached the third or fourth basement floor from what I could tell."

The Ace Trainer takes a record of who's entering the building, then lets the group enter the Snowpoint Temple proper.

The first room of the Snowpoint Temple is simple.  A large statue with indistinct features, decorated with patterns made of dots, stands tall against the wall, formless arms crossed in front of it.  Ice covers the ground in the back left corner of the room as well as a few seemingly random locations as well.  There are stairs leading down to the first basement floor in the back right corner of the room.

If you have any questions to ask the guard before heading deeper down of wish to investigate this first floor, feel free to do so now.  Otherwise, let me know when you're ready to move on, as well as what order you're going down the stairs in.

Randolph gives the guard a short nod back.

"Will do, mam, and thank ya for the warning. We'll keep mum about this fae breeze blowing through the Temple too. No need to stir up a frenzy about it, after all. *Sighs* Afraid I'll have to ignore ya advice, though, as me and my partners will probably end up having to do a full investigation of this place to find what we're looking for.....or not. Hopefully not, and in a good way not too. *Mumbles to himself* Knowing my luck and what I know about that, it ain't going to be in the same postcode of that easy. Bah....."

*Shakes head*

"Enough of that. Focus on task now, grumble about it later. *Looks back at guard* We'll be on our way in now. Keep up the good work, and again thank ya for warning."

With that said and the rest being done shortly, he enters Snowpoint Temple and immediately summons Brigid and Mystery Mon #1 to his side, who is revealed to be none other than a Skuntank! A rough and tough one at that, who's also packing an sassy, 'I'm da boss!' attitude to match! I'll leave anymore descriptions/instant reactions to Dragonstrike.

The dwarven craftsman crosses his arms as he address his smelly partners (One of soot, the other of natural pungence!), giving them a look that meant all business.

"Alright, listen up Brigid and Belladona. We're in Snowpoint Temple, one of the most hazardous places this side of Sinnoh, and it's chock full of some of the meanest, most orney, and downright wickdly strong Pokemon around. Normally, I wouldn't even set foot near here, but I need to do a proper and thorough investigation of the Temple, and that's were you two come in. Simply put, I need ya two to guard me while I'm snooping around the place, and keep an eye and ear for anything that looks troublesome, strange, suspicious, or some pain in the ass combination of all of the above. If something happens, I want the chance to put the brake on it if its bad for me or my partners, or take a look at it if seems like it isn't. That, and if something wants to try and give us a right nasty time, I want us to be ready to blast 'n bash it til it resembles a badly made biscuit. Can I count on ya to do that for me, girls?"

He places a little emphasis as he finishes his small debriefing and speech, eyeing his fragrant skunk in particular. She was always troublesome to work with, as unlike with most of his other partner she was just too dang Willful and headstrong for her own good. It was just as likely she'd do stuff her own way as opposed to want he wants out of her, even with (and perhaps in spite of  ) the respect and Loyalty she holds for him. Belladona believed ARDENTLY that she was Da Boss no matter what, so authority has always been a point of contention for them. Hopefully now she wouldn't throw her weight around here, but he was prepared if she did. Live, learn, leverage, and all that.
