"...that seemed a little too rude to me, to be honest...they don't seem like bad pokemon...I know I wouldn't want to work with someone who's hurling insults at me..."

Karen was quiet during that exchange, but she had been listening and spoke up because she felt she had something to say.

"...nothing to do about it now, I suppose...let's keep going and find that apple for Zubat..."

She seems to be rather reserved and a little sad right now, but she pushes on with the rest of the team without further complaint.

*rolls*

Two tiles to the southwest, the group encounters a sudden drop off!  It appears that they're descending the mountain in this direction, as they've appear to have found what looks to be the start of a chasm!



The number of trees seems to have thinned around the chasm, but the group can also see a single tree growing at the top of the incline that leads down into the chasm's depths.  A strong wind whips through the chasm, howling ominously as it exits the rocky terrain and assails the rest of the mountain.

Everyone initially has to hold up a hand/paw and turn their faces away from the strong winds blowing from the chasm, but that turns out to have an interesting consequence.  As Kogeki, Karen, and Daxter all look in the direction of the tree at the top of the incline, they spot something red hanging from one of its branches, as well as light glinting off of something underneath the tree.

"Is that what I think it is hanging from that tree?"  Karen seems hopeful that the red thing might be just what they were looking for.

Before the group can progress or investigate the tree, however, the immediate question is: how is the group going to get down from this cliff safely?

Pyra's smile dimmed at the smol fae's words, her natural cheer dampened them and their unhappiness.

".....Perhaps, maybe, and I believe you are right. But those foals, no matter if they be good or ill, ruined their chance of friendship and cooperation, yes. Though I have no fondness nor love of them, no, I do hope they have-will learn the lessons of their follies. It does no one well if they ever fail as Adventurers."

And that's all the lil' fiendess has to say about that. She's aware that opinions about Team Gallop are divided, and though she doesn't understand why she can accept that some of her friends and companions wish to see those tiny horses in a light most open and bright. Yet another thing she has yet to learn....

Kee bolting off in front of her causes Pyra to give eager chase, thinking it both a fun little game and that they found something of interest, and ends up joining him at the cliff edge overlooking the Room. She's quick to pick up on his inexplicit dour mood shift, and is concern and puzzled by it. What is it about the craggy black abyss and the rest of the scenery inspired such glumness in him? Before she could ask about it, though, his comment distracts her, prompting her to tilt her curiously at that notion.

"Truly and verily? Would have thought a ground's distance this long and tall would make for a safe fall, yes."

Their next observations rapidly pique the brimstone imp's interest, getting her just as excited as they are in short order as she claps her claws and wiggled with zeal!

"Really maybe so, Ziggy Kee?! Then I shall take the plunge too with thee!"

With that said, Pyra promptly hops over the cliff's edge, shouting out a "Weeeeee!" as she fell. Down to the ground below she goes, the hard and fast way!
