The group (as a whole) follows the corridor the wind is blowing through.



The stone floor slopes upwards, evening out at the top and creating a platform of sorts.  A lower level can be seen to the left of the platform, making the whole room look almost like a stage of sorts.  Branching off from the platform are two more paths.

- One of them leads to another door at the back of the room, on the same level as the raised platform.

- Another corridor on the group's left.  An orange glow can be seen from that direction, and the howling wind and hail seems to be coming from there as well.

Before the group can investigate either, though, they have to duck back into the corridor the just came from, as they hear something or someone approaching (rather loudly, for it can be heard despite the wind)! Fortunately, the howling wind works in the group's favor, as it helps them stay hidden by muffling any noise they might make.

The newcomers, however, are VERY loud.  A group of larger than usual Snover have just wandered into the room from the corridor with the orange glow, their leaves rustling loudly all the while.  They stop in the middle of the room and turn to face each other.  It almost looks like they might be discussing something.

The group hasn't been noticed yet, but they need to get past these Snover somehow if they wish to investigate the room or its branching paths further.

Seeing that many little living christmas trees enter and converge on 'the Stage' nearly caused Ran to loudly (and I do mean LOUDLY) let out a swear, before Catherine slapped her hand across his mouth to muffle/stop it (As with her high Insight, she could anticipate his reaction!). This earned her an increadulous glare from teh wee man at first before he realized why she gagged him, which earned her a begrudging nod of thanks.

He spent a couple of minutes staring at the Snover gathering, brainstorming various ideas to bypass or deal with the winter menaces, before he turned back to the group and voiced what he thought was the best solution.

"Alright, we need to get past these alpine pests if we want to get any further, unless ya all want to double back and take the other path and see if it'll lead us past them. Could try to sneak past them, but they're many of those frosty buggers keeping an eye on things and we ain't ninjas like Kogeki that call pull off being invisible in plain sight, so I think that idea's bunk."

*Shakes Head*

"No, I believe in simpler method for dealing with those Snover: beat them all until they're black and blue instead of green and white. They're a lot of them to take of, but we got plenty of Pokemon ourselves to even the odds, and I got a plan that'll make putting them all on Ice easy as hammering nail. Here's how it goes...."

- First, switching in our most optimal Pokemon for Fighting a large swarm of Snover, and then silently buffing all our Pokemon! Ran's Team will consist of Catherine, Brigid, Diam, Stymph, Belladona, and Puck. He'd recommend the others use Pokemon with either Spread Moves or extremely powerful Single Target SE Moves, or Pokemon with Support Moves that can help buff other Pokemon, too.
- Second, buffing! If it's possible, he'd want Brigid to quickly buff everyone's select Pokemon with After You and Shell Smash (Via Snatch Baton Pass from Puck), or just After Yous and Tailwind from Stymph if SS Passing is not feasible here.
- Third and finally, the assault! He'd recommend the group just rush out and try to blitzkrieg the Snover masses, using the DEX/After You Advantages from Brigid/Stymph and unleashing their strongest crowd clearing Moves. He'd lead with Brigid and Catherine, and have the former uses Heat Wave/Rock Slide/Ember and the later uses Powder Snow as their first attacks against them, for example.

"....Well, what do you think? Good plan, or a piss poor one? Or ya have any other ideas?"
