[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Sceptile really enjoys being in a forested environment, and especially in the presence of the warm mossy rock whenever it gets too cold out in the woods. The two of you encounter someone building a cozy log cabin, and with your encouragement Sceptile helps the man with his work. In return, he gets a mug of hot chocolate and a spot under a sun lamp.

Overnight, you hear strange screeching noises on occasion, and in the very early morning you follow their source in the form of a large shadow overhead heading back to the mountains.

You are just in time to watch it duck into a rather thin almost hairline split in the mountains - must be a cave behind that split. It's only about a foot wide. As you climb up to be near it, you hear a voice coming from within. "Good Noivern! How was your hunt? Oo, thanks!"

That sounds like a wonderful time, and a task Sceptile is well suited for, too.  Plenty of opportunity to help that man with chopping those logs using the legendary CUT, and moving them around once they're sized properly should be a breeze with a little help from Gallade's Telekinesis.  Sceptile gets a chance to be himself around someone other than Nathan and put his skills to use, and they help someone out in the process. A day well spent for sure.

Lots of screeching from a bat pokemon overnight?  Yup, that sounds about right.  Nathan definitely takes note of that, and following it in the morning should definitely be easy enough if that Noivern continues to be that noisy, even if it does happen to know FLY.

And fortunately, it does seem to be an easy task, given how carefully Nathan and Charizard make their own flight.  Noivern's loud screeching helps mask the sounds of their own stealthy approach.  Upon landing a short ways away from the destination, Nathan recalls Charizard for a moment and continues on foot, swiftly and as silently as he can manage.  If that Noivern hears him before he gets there, that'll make this search harder...

And it's roosting in a small, hard to find cave, huh?  And that voice!  Noivern's definitely not alone.  Before Nathan takes action, though, just to confirm: Does the voice sound like Kelda's, and does it sound like there's only one person in there?
