[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

- Lucas: "Agreed.  Let's get this over and done with so the region doesn't have to worry about any further time distortions."  Lucas's has a grimly determined expression on his face as he remembers the last time something like this occurred...

- The prosthetic is working fine.  No complications as of yet.

- Amethyst is too jittery to run off on her own.  The fact that she can't pinpoint the exact cause of her concerns really has her on edge.

Empathy +1: (6)(6)(5)(1)(6*) 4 successes

Brigid's comforting heat and Randolph's reassurances go a long ways towards helping the Absol calm down a little.  Amethyst slowly nods in response, still jittery, but noticeably reassured.

- Catherine has the same bad feeling that Amethyst does, but her Abilities aren't strong enough to pinpoint the exact cause right now either.  She isn't sure either path is less dangerous/weird than the other.

- There's a *very* slight tug on the Spell Tag in the forward direction, towards the entrance to the caves of Mt. Coronet.  Not enough to yank it out of Randolph's hands, but enough for him to notice.  Oh, and the text on it is dimly glowing with a faint, slightly spooky light.

Ran breaths a sigh of relief as he sees and feels his ivory partner finding a certain measure of peace and security in his words, and gave her one last good rubbing between/on her shoulder(s). For her part, Brigid presses herself a little closer to her fellow partner, to better convey her caring presence and warmth to them.

"Good girl, Amethyst. Keep those nerves Steeled, and remember this: me and the rest of your partners has ya back through thick and thin, and you never have to face any trouble alone."

The midget man frowns as he studies his 'gifted' Spell Tag, not unsettled but also not pleased by the spooky reactions it giving off, before letting out a small *sigh* and putting it away, before turning back to the rest of the group after getting guidance from his galls.

"Welp, looks like the 'old lady's' friend is camping around the entrance to Coronet, so y'all best prepare yourself for some mischief and malice soon as we get there, unless you prefer to get Frozen in surprise when it creeps up on ya. *Shakes Head* My girls don't have a clear idea what either path holds for us, and I find the idea of us splinting up to be utterly asinine, as that's just Taunting fate and whatever is behind this Articuno awful situation to let us have it like a Mach Punch to the face, so I suppose I agree with the gist of Kee's suggestion. Might take us a bit longer getting to the mountain, but we don't have to worry about tripping up or getting Ambushed in that thick snowfield, and my girls Amethyst and Belladona can help drive off any scrawny little bastards and make the tougher ones think twice before deciding to mess with up. We're on a crunch to get this job done 'fore everything gets worse, but we'll make up for the lost time later once we're out of this Hail and into Coronet, my territory."

That's his two cents on the matter, so he's ready to get on moving whenever, riding on Brigid and having Belladona and Amethyst as his Vanguard/partners of deterrence! Before that, though, he would kindly request that Kee consider bringing out his Vulpix, so their own Drought powers could combine with his coal munching turtle's so that the Hail and Blizzard plaguing the Route might possibly diminish enough so it isn't a problem anymore. If they refuse, he'll be a bit grouchy about it, but with accept their decision with a "Bah!" and carry on.

(Since Me and Phantom have voted to go on the upper path, and Spirit has elected to do his own thing with Kogeki, I think that means the long way it is, unless you want Lucas and Karen to deadlock things!)
