[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

When Nathan investigates the stone, he does sense a psychic force surrounding it. You notice it's surrounded by a similar pattern, full of rotational symmetry, arranged in the sand.

The silhouettes above are getting closer, but still aren't clearly visible.

Nathan takes careful note of the shadowy forms lingering above.  He signals to Terra, Heart, and any soldiers accompanying them, pointing up at the shadows to tell the group to watch them carefully.  He then puts a hand on the hilt of the Sword to indicate they should be ready for a fight.

Contrasting Kingdra's nervousness, Nathan remains calm as he signals and prepares.  He nods to Kingdra, saying, "Be ready.  I'm likely going to need your help in a second," then returns to reexamining the stone.

Nathan has 3 ideas at the current moment, to be attempted in the listed order.

1. Attempt to rotate the stone in the same direction as its spiral pattern.

2. Starting at the stone, follow the spiral patttern, swimming in ever larger circles around the origin point.

3. Ask Kingdra to Yawn and create a small whirlpool (rotating in the same direction as the spiral pattern) centralized on the stone's location (yup, Kingdra don't need to know Whirlpool to do that.  Bonus points if that scares off the shadowy pokemon above, as that's quite a powerful skill to have!).

With any luck, one of those three might get the group past this obstacle.
