[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Scizor wouldn't say no to learning Swords Dance, but his policy on this is the loot goes to whoever found it, so it's up to Randolph and Karen to decide how to split it.

Journal Contents

The journal is owned by a man by the name of Jonathan Brightflame, and it seems like he's a very rich man with what can only be described as an obsession for Fire types.

Early entries in the journal mention numerous breeding projects for high pedigree shiny fire type pokemon, as well as the purchase of a highly valuable historical artifact associated with the power of fire.  Jonathan kept it on his person as a good luck charm.

Afterwards, it details a trip to Creshire, and his meeting with the relatively recently hired, young gym leader of Tumbleweed Town and their Delta Houndoom and Hippopotas.  However, the Gym Leader refused to provide Jonathan with eggs for the two Deltas, and this sparked a further obsession to attempt to breed his own Delta Fire types.

Later entries in the journal document the latter breeding projects, as well as their numerous failures at producing results.  He was debating whether he needed to make a return trip to Creshire to seek more professional help there despite the long distance.

The final entries in the journal mention that Jonathan was traveling to Snowpoint to meet with his specially hired international breeders and pick up some of his completed breeding projects, but he and his traveling companions got lost in Mt. Coronet on the way there.  They lost track of how long they were in the mountain for, and weren't quite sure how they ended up higher up on the mountain...

I'd say that's pretty concrete evidence of that person's existence, no?

Karen's trying to look over Randolph's shoulder to read the journal as well.

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

For the time being, the Flame Plate is the same as a Charcoal mechanically.  However, Brigid looks at it and holds it almost reverently (well, as reverently as a turtle can manage, anyways.)

Just like with the other group, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where that singing is coming from because it's echoing far too much.

When Randolph tries to play the Azure Flute, nothing happens.  Not even sound comes out, as the flute just echoes hollowly...

In that case, Ran will hold on to Sword Dance for now, as he believes he gave Scizors enough of a boon by lending/giving them his Metal Coat and a Leppa Berry. Simple as that!

The wee lass attempt to read along with him earns her a long, deadpanned, side-eyed look that practically screamed "Your being nosey again," but with a *Sigh* he  would move the journal around so the both of them could read it. Afterwards he would go quiet, looking deep in thought as he mulled over the newest (to him and the group) person abducted/caught up in Mt. Coronet's mystery, and eventually bites back a sigh as he closes the journal with a displeased sounding *Snap!* and put it away, before taking off the R.T.H. , looks at it, then at Karen again.

"....I stand by my statement we shouldn't worry too much about this Jonathan fellow, but....we should keep an eye out for him and his companions while we're traveling. The place and its Tauros shit supernatural mystery force is bad enough for us, but for someone completely Unaware and unprepared for it? *Shakes head* ....Don't envy their chances at all. Still, if we were able to find and rescue Scizros and Rui here, maybe we can do that same for them....provided they're still alive."

He looks over the the avalanche pile, then back at Karen again.

"You think Jonathan or his friends may have gotten stuck underneath it, or are trapped past it? Think we should get Espeon's help to see if that's the case.  *Rubs Beard* Maybe Diam's too, since she's a Ghost type that can use her Foresight and natural Ghost senses to detect strange things or....death. If one or both of them find something in or past it, I'll try harder to convince Excadrill to Dig a way through it for us. What do ya think of that plan, Karen?"

No further comments on Brigid's reaction or to the Flute's non-response, besides Ran's bemusement with the former and mystification with the later.
