[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

The tile that Kee and Octavia chase their Absol to...

...ends up being a sharp drop off of a cliff!  Kee and Octavia slide to a stop, barely managing to avoid careening off the edge in their haste, no Absol in sight!  They hurriedly look around, trying to find the Absol that ran in this direction...

Stealth: (4)(2)(5)(4)(3)(5)(1)(1)(1)(2)(5)(3)(4) 5 successes
Alert: (6)(5)(5)(3)(5)(2)(4)(5) 6 successes.  Wow!  How fortunate!

...only to spot the white feline snickering on a lower cliff, a black aura surrounding them!  It looks like they were about to do something, but after realizing they've been spotted, the aura disappears and they run to the tile to the left!

Looks like this Absol is gonna give Kee quite the workout.

Oof, that would have been BAD if Kee and his loyal blue faeeveelution would have found their end right here. Death by falling down a cliff, suffering fatal injuries or freezing due to being unable to get help - or all of that together - is definitely something that they would gladly avoid.
 
Thankfully they JUST made it, only for Kee to be startled and alarmed by that shadowy black aura surrounding that already black prophet with the white fur: This increases his determination to NOT loose them by 200%. A Shadowmon or not - did they really came to warn them of that avalanche or did it just seem like they did?

If that Absol's running left, Kee will naturally follow, reaching that lower cliff on the wings of his Drampa, Orpheus. If it's possible in the current surrounding they'll also continue following them via FLYing, and Octavia is asked to trail after that particular Absol a bit ahead of him by accelerating herself via Quick Attack. "Whatever ya do or what may happen, TRY TO NOT LOOSE TRACK OR SIGHT OF THAT PARTICULAR ABSOL!!! But.... DON'T ATTACK, JUST FOLLOW!"
