[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

"Well, there's a good amount of dungeons with Emera in them scattered all around the world from what I hear.  Wouldn't really be able to tell you more than that since I've rarely left the Sand Continent, though.  And you'll know what an Emera looks like when you see one.  They're almost crystalline, tear drop shaped stones.  They're incredibly fragile, though, and have this weird tendency to shatter into dust if left on their own.  But if you gather enough dust, it can form into a new emera.  They're quite strange, particularly since they almost instantly break apart when taken outside of Mystery Dungeons.  Like the Mystery Dungeons they seem to be tied to, they're a mystery wrapped in an enigma."

Kee leads the group to a large clearing with three circular stone pillars proudly on display in the middle.  A path in the top left of the tile curves around the cliffs, leading to places unknown, while another path to the right appears to be guarded.

And the pokemon guarding it doesn't look very happy, as they lift the two large stone columns they're holding in each hand and slam them into the ground, causing more stone pillars to block the path the group just came from!

"What the...what's the big idea?!  You're one of the Conkeldurr, right?"

"Hmph.  More intruders.  You are not welcome in this place."

Conkeldurr's words are punctuated by the appearance of several wild pokemon.  A Combusken drops down from somewhere above and takes a battle ready stance, a Forretress rolls out of a passageway hidden among the rocks adjacent to the wall, and a Murkrow angrily squawks at the adventurers from a perch on top of one of the three stone pillars.

Marcus quietly addresses the group once the wild pokemon show up.  "...I don't think this is going to be easy if we get into a fight.  The Conkeldurr are smarter than most wild pokemon.  We might be able to talk our way out of this, but...well, I'll leave it up to you all to decide what we should do."

The Conkeldurr doesn't seem to be impressed by the initial lack of a prompt response.

"I said you are not welcome here, intruders.  Leave."
