[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

The Shieldmaidens demonstrate their special radiation resistance, which is in addition to tight-fitting hazmat suits. The source is their Steel types, of course! In fact, watching closely, you think they are drawing upon the strength of their Pokemon in a way that is vaguely similar to how Cosh could gain the hit points of his Steelix, or Heart draws on a Pokemon's move.


Upon returning to the beach, you find that the vibrations have not wholly ceased despite the defeat of the Magmortar and the shutting down of much of the machinery. In fact, the whole beach is shaking like an earthquake. Sand is suddenly pouring down like rain into fissures, and the island is shifting up and down beneath you. As it moves, as it rocks back and forth, you find yourself lifted higher and higher above the ocean. Cries from the military personnel reveal that you aren't the only ones experiencing this phenomenon. Looking down, all you see is normal beach. But looking out over the waves, the truth is revealed... reflected in the glassy sea. You see the reflection of beady green eyes on looong stalks, and looong spidery legs the color of palm stems. Seashells are splashing into the water, and water and sand is running down into the sea as well with a raucous noise. A huge claw covered in skin like a coconut's makes an appearance to snap up a handful of disturbed Corsola and pull them underneath the island.

The entire beach, the entire diameter of Garlicburg, is now lifted three or four stories above the rocky crags that held it. All the secrets of the military base are revealed to the salty air for the first time. People are screaming and running about, a few up on the beach with you but most below in the iron catacombs. You're riding on the back of the world's largest Cocancer!
