[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Going to keep all of this as brief as I can since there's a lot to get through.

Randolph

@Lord Windos

(Dang it, my usual ice type color doesn't exist on the quick select menu any more)

- Nope, Roark isn't picking up.  Could be busy or asleep.  Message left, and Amber sent.
- One A-Sandshrew is sent to Byron.  That's probably gonna vex him for a little while once he sees it, since he would never have expected an Ice type to show up in his Gym.
- Oh yeah, speaking of which, I'll assume the custom jewelry that Randolph ordered has been collected if it hasn't already, as it is definitely finished by now.
- A-Sandslash and an A-Sandshrew are traded for a Blizzard TM.  Candice tends to keep a few on hand since they're purchasable from the Department Store in Veilstone, but she doesn't typically give them out since they're rather expensive, and Snowpoint's a long ways away from Veilstone.  She doesn't have any of the hold items you're looking for, unfortunately.  "Type resist berries have always kinda been more Candice's style, to be honest.  Yeah, they're niche, but hey, Candice loves catching people off guard when they work!~"
- Candice appreciates being informed of what was happening in the lower levels of the Temple.  "...well, it sounds like you guys had quite an adventure.  You be careful, though.  Not that I need to tell you this, but it sounds like it's far from over.  I'll keep a careful eye on the Snowpoint Temple for the time being, tighten the security on the entrance so nobody wanders in without a good reason for being there.  Hopefully it returns to normal soon. You just worry about your part in all of this, okay? I'll keep Snowpoint under control in the meanwhile!~"
- Let's say that bulk purchase of equipment, materials, etc. costs about $5000.  That's a lot of stuff that you're buying!  You should have enough materials for a few small metalworking projects on the go, though (larger ones would require more dedicated spaces to make the items in question).  You've also gotten one set of Digging Tools and one set of Climbing Gear.

- Professor Rowan will purchase the 4 A-Sandshrews for $20000.
- Was there a specific pokemon you wanted to trade the A-Sandslash for with Rowan?  Or would you like to get something random?  Rowan doesn't have any hold items to trade, so you'll have to do a random trade at the Trade House to (maybe) get one.

Kee and Karen weren't doing anything in particular tonight before turning in iirc.

Regardless, we can take care of any last minute preparations before we begin the trip to Mt. Coronet.



It is now Day 3.  (Every trainer gets 1 heartbeat exp and every character, pokemon and human, regains 1 Will)

Weather: (5)(5) That's on the upper end of the spectrum, so there are no weather effects currently active in Snowpoint City today.  It's still perpetually hailing on Routes 216 and 217, however.

Nurse Joy hands Randolph a package in the morning, and has some news to accompany it.  "The postman just arrived.  He seemed rather spooked about something, but I couldn't quite figure out what he was talking about.  Something about Route 216 being haunted or something.  Usually, the rumors I hear concern Route 217 instead, where there's an old, abandoned cabin that nobody except reckless teenagers wants to go near, so I'm rather confused.  Regardless, be careful if you're headed out that way.  I don't need another group of trainers that are on the verge of catching frostbite walking into my Pokemon Center today. Or tomorrow."
