[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Note: Traveling to tiles directly above/below of the current one is rather difficult, given the tiles I have to work with are all drawn in an isometric style.  It's easier in this case since there's a path in the upper left corner of the tile, and almost all tiles have a path in the lower left corner.

   

Kogeki, Kee, and Lucas ascend one of the smaller peaks surrounding the main peak of Mt. Coronet to find a small grotto of trees with a single pond in the middle at the top.  Several large rocks are dotted around the area as well, and a waterfall on the northwestern end of the area turns into a small stream that eventually feeds into the grotto's pond.

It's very, very quiet.  There are no wild pokemon visible.

Lucas warily moves a hand to slowly grab one of the pokeballs on his belt.  "...I have a bad feeling about this...we should proceed with caution..."

Suddenly, the group hears what sounds like...singing?  Except it sounds very...dismal and off key.  It's difficult to tell where it's coming from, though, as the sound's echoing off of the cliffs and surrounding mountain peaks...

And then just as suddenly, the singing(?) stops, and three Absol with ice blue eyes step out of the trees.  They stare at the party, almost completely motionless...

...and then they all bolt in different directions as a ruckus starts on a higher peak to the northwest, startling a small flock of birds that were hiding in the trees.  The group looks up...



...only to see that what appears to be a large avalanche is suddenly headed their way!!!

"Everyone run!!!  Follow those Absol!!!" Lucas yells.

It doesn't take long for the avalanche to reach the room the group just reached.  It's approaching fast enough that the group gets separated in the chaos.  All three encounters are mandatory.

1. Absol* 1

Cap: 1
Note: This Absol ran down the northeastern path.

2. Absol* 2

Note: This Absol went east.

3. Absol* 3

---------------------------------------------------

Randolph's group also hears that same avalanche occur, as it's directly above them.  Fortunately, they're on a different side of that particular mountain peak, and aren't in any immediate danger.
