[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

I guess I'll let the Orchids work on a sleep-to-come status.

Also, using Phantom Force counts as one action to charge, one action to attack, so all your pools need to be accordingly lower (which I will adjust). Just FYI.

I also forgot possible but unlikely burn damage. (4)(3)(5)(5)(5)(1) No damage.

16XP to Noire, 8 to Spira.

The Grip Claw is yours! Also, in the minaret it was guarding, you find a trapdoor quite a ways down. It looks like it might lead to the next layer down, but you can't move it, it seems impervious to attacks, and there's seemingly no mechanism such as a handle or keyhole to even open it. Even your Scimitar partner's Strength or Rock Smash can't budge it.

Clearing away the dust, however, it does have an insignia on it: the Eye, with a crown, a tree, and a sword beneath it. The Eye makes your birthmark tingle.

(I'm still a little stressed from what was taking my full attention today, so I'll keep this short.)

Noire uses 22 exp to learn Feint Attack

Spira places his hand on the insignia on the door to see if that does anything

No, there isn't so much as a flash of light.
