[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Lucas also pulls out the map that was in Scizor's bag to take a look at it, mumbling to himself all the while.  Kee's able to get a look at the map too now that Lucas has pulled it out of the bag.  "Well, wherever this is, I'd venture a guess that it's where Scizor's from...can't say I recognize anything on this map, though...can't even read any of the labels since they're all apparently written with footprints...lots of dots that seem to mark major locations...I wonder if they're particularly well traveled...but it's odd that they're apparently traveling alone...gonna have to ask him some questions later when he wakes up..."

Spoiler

Lucas puts Scizor's stuff (including the strange blue orb) back in the bug's bag, then goes back to checking on Scizor.  "If Scizor wakes up before we regroup, yeah, I'll ask him about the orb.  Just holler if ya run into trouble, alright?  Kogeki and I will be right here."

Taking a look at that map only makes Kee even more confused. "What a nicely drawn map though...Unfortunately, it's not even CLOSE to any location I ever heard of or seen before. Uh, take that with a grain of salt though, Geography Class in high school was never one of mah strengths."

He's having a vague and bold idea about this Scizor and nudges Lucas to listen to him. "Hey, guess what...." His expression darkens, "D'you think it could be possible that.... Ya know, that this Scizor has been 'transported' here by that ominous force as well, similar like it did with me? That whatever's wrong up at Mount Coronet's responsible for 'em havin' ended up here? It seems... I mean, it WOULD make some sense since there's this nice Drampa~ I met who let me know that he's been caught up by that too, so Pokemon aren't completely safe either."

"Yup, I've got a light source!"  Karen summons her shiny Rapidash, and the horse's grey flames give off a dim light that helps illuminate the surrounding area slightly.  "...well, it's not as bright as I thought it would be, but it's better than nothing, I guess?"
Fortunately, it's enough light to see, so Kee and Karen are able to proceed deeper into Froslass's cave without tripping over rocks or slipping on icy patches of ground.
Deeper in the cave, Karen and Kee find a single room with just the one entrance.  The floor is dry, thankfully, and it certainly looks large enough to pitch a tent and set up camp and a warm fire.  In one corner of the room, there's also a pile of various items.  Maybe Froslass was collecting them?

Ahahaha, together with the flashlight on Kee's smartphone Karen's shiny Rapidash is perfect, the firely horse is also so nicely warm. Kee does not dare to touch them so he keeps a respectful distance, but what he does dare is giving Karen an appreciating pat on the shoulder. "It's fine, it's good enough, really! Somethin' super-obvious like a Flash would draw too much attention, don't wish to rudely disturb what MAY or MAY NOT live down here."

And so they venture down the cave together, until they reach that 'room' at the end of it. This room... Everything within is so perfect, nice and full of beauty that he finds it HARD to believe and has to make a quick reality-check to make sure this is NOT a dream NOR the afterlife. And hooray, he's neither dreaming nor has he died along the way!~~

He and Stella carefully observe things before doing or touching anything for now. "Look at that, Karen... What an idea place for us all to rest b'fore matchin' on!~~ Guess this was some sort of personal room or space of this Froslass, where it rested 'n gathered anythin' pretty from those unfortunate people that she froze solid.... Ugh, since she's vanished though, guess it's fine if we make ourselves guests for a while?" *insecure chuckling* "Eh, it WILL be fine. C'mon, letsa get the other's."

+++++++

Once everything's been explained, told, a fireplace and tent are set up and it's been agreed on how to share those TMs, Kee ends up stuffing the discs containing Energy Ball and Sludge Wave into his stuff. He grins widely as he does so, even faintly sinister. "Hehehehehe... It's THE attack that washes your enemies 'way in a toxic broth, that's so bad and mean it's PERFECT." He then gazes at Stella in her blanket and within his arms with a smile that made a complete U-turn within a second - it's a warm, dear and protective one. "How does a skill that uses nature's power and strength to you, good enough?~ THIS will strike fear within those that see ya as 'n easy target for their powers that channel water, the ground or stones."

Next, those Evolutionary Stones. "Oh and look at that, there's even a FIRE STONE in there!~~ With this one you can one day grow just as fine golden ' silky fur like your dear mother.... If we can get it outta there, that is. D'ya think ya can get it outta this wall with your Secret Power? Please DONTCHA touch it directly yet, please. Mercury, please do help her by pecking this wall 's hard as ya can, feel aaaall free to shatter small parts of the wall 's well with a well-placed Hyper Voice. No d'stroying of further Stones though, naturalleh...."


(Means, will try to get 1 Fire Stone outta the wall with at first solely with my Pokemon's help, in particular Stella's Secret Power and Mercury's Peck + Hyper Voice. If that needs Rolls, those are 6d6 on Secret Power [she's still at -2 Pain, but a spent Will Point shall compensate this], 8d6 on Peck and 10d6 on Hyper Voice.)
