[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

"I actually need this the most," Spira picks up the Hyper Potion, "So, if you don't mind..." he adds it to his inventory.
Concerning the gold, is it bullion/something that'd have to be sold for its value, or something that could easily be used in place of pokedollars? If the former, then Spira has no problems with Terra holding on to the gold (provided he mentions IC that he'd be the best choice for selling off that gold), if the latter is the case, then let's go ahead and split that dough up!

Most places won't take it outright, but every town in Creshire has a bank or pawn shop or something who can easily deal in this bullion.



Arachnautilus ignores Terra's admonishment, of course.

Ratsy is fine, since there weren't any battlefield moves used. He's trembling, though. 


18XP is the total for the encounter.


Cosh: "We're on it. Shouldn't take long, even without Arachnautilus."

A bit later, he gets Arachnautilus to head up and lend her strength anyway. Soon the Scimitars have hauled up a mass of coral encrusted around a chain shirt made from hundreds of Keenglaive spikes, alternating fiery white and impenetrable blackness. Cosh Smashes away a chunk of coral and worms his normal hand and shoulder inside the armor. Immediately, the coral is blasted off in all directions, and Cosh can easily shrug into the Artifact. It flashes to acknowledge him.

"Finally! My status as someone more than human is acknowledged at last. Let us experiment! Gently, mind you!"

After some experimentation, it becomes clear that the Hauberk works best when bombarded with a variety of attacks. For example, when Cosh (in Steelix mode) is attacked by a Water attack, the attack is drawn to Arachnautilus instead. The Hauberk redirects buffs and attacks where they are most needed. It doesn't seem to acknowledge the Shield as an immunity, though, and may or may not redirect an attack to the wielder of the Shield.

"I see. This central piece of armor must help to coordinate the others. There is no doubt our forefathers were foresighted when they created this great work of art!"


The Scimitars are ready to rest for the night, and they make sure to ward the area against any errant Slowbro and build a makeshift two-room shelter atop one of the surface-level ships. "This is most likely the right way. Our shelter will guard the entrance against any other entity seeking deeper Layers. And after a rest, we'll be ready to move on!"
