[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

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

There's a total of 4 of those stones scattered around the area that you can split among yourselves.  They're small enough that they can be grouped together and take up only a single inventory slot if someone has multiples of them.

New Item obtained!
Gravelerock: Rolls 1 D6 of damage against a target it is thrown at.  Accuracy roll is Dexterity + Fight + Throw.  Can be used to hit targets at a distance if your throwing arm is good (the more successes you get on the accuracy check, the farther you can throw the item).

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

The path to the east is still a dead end.  The tree that fell was in the middle of the tile, at the fork.

So Pyra leads the group back to where they started, then carefully to the path to the east, where Kee thinks Stufful might be wandering.

It's there that the group finds yet another dead end, but they also see a small, pink bear pokemon wandering around, looking very lost.

"....was it not this way?  I thought I came from this direction..."

They turn around, seemingly resigned to having to backtrack the way they came, and that's when they spot the 5 pokemon approaching them!

Stufful seems to be surprised at first, but that expression soon turns hopeful as they run up to the group of strangers.

!

"Oh my goodness, did the guild send you?!  Please tell me they did..."

Alright, since everyone but Karen wants a Gravelrock, then each of the group gets exactly 1! Nice and convenient, that is! 

(...)

Initially Pyra is equally surprised to see what seemed to be Stufful all by its lonesome, having half expected that Team Gallop would've found them by now and whisked them away with the huge lead they got on them by refusing to help her search for her fae friend, but soon her ever present smile grew wider and more viberant as she quickly hopped over to happily introduce herself and the group! Her period of being taken aback allowed Kogeki to beat her to the Fire Punch, though, but she didn't mind that at all, skipping to his side and offering him a happy and thankful nod for his expediency before getting her chance to greet the fluffy bear cub.

"Indeed and verily, what my companion says is most true! We are all here to rescue you, delivering yourself away from this Dungeon's rocky and confusing maze, yes! Curious and wondering I am, though, as how you found yourself so lost in distress, and what means did you use to signal to the Guild your distress? *Claps hands* Oh, and my name is Pyra the Devimp, She Whose Domain is Flames in Darkness! What's yours, pink and clothy bearling?"

Regardless of if they'd answer her satisfactory or not, the lil' fiendess would then present her Badge as proof that, yes, her team and herself were indeed the Adventurers they were praying for. A little bit of it to back up her words never hurt, as she most recently learned from her interaction with a most infuriating pony.....

(I don't know if Pyra was around to hear how Explorer/Adventurer Badges work when they were handed out [If there was an explanation], so I'm just going to have her show them the Badge and see if that does anything with Stufful. If not, I suppose the bear will be escorted with the group to the Dungeon's exit, wherever it is!)
