[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Kee leads Team OS further down the corridor, past the path that leads to the area where they fought Conkeldurr.  The path eventually leads to an opening in the side of the ravine, becoming a small cave.  As they go deeper into the cave, it gets darker and darker as the sunlight leaking through the entrance gets farther away.

Eventually, it becomes pitch black, and the dim light from Pyra's fire barely illuminates the area around the party just enough for them to see their immediate surroundings.

Marcus keeps pushing everyone onwards despite this.

"Don't worry, this is normal.  You'll see why soon."

After an indeterminate amount of time walking forward, a light appears at the end of the tunnel, getting brighter as the group gets closer to it.  The familiar crackle of fire and warm light of torches on the walls illuminate a small room with few features beside the stone walls and floor, as well as some wooden support beams.  Pyra starts to feel lighter on her feet and less sluggish as the group gets closer to it, though she still feels like she's Paralyzed.

In the middle of the room is a single large rock in the shape of a Kangaskhan, a welcome sight for Marcus as he sighs in relief.

"Good, a Kangaskhan Rock.  We can rest here.  And it looks like my earlier guess was right, too.  The Hidden Mine is another Mystery Dungeon."

"If you all need to deposit or withdraw any items, you can do so at that rock as if you were to talking to Kangaskhan herself.  Only works with items, though.  Don't ask me how it works, it just...does.  Another puzzle you'll only find in these mysterious dungeons...or rather, only when you find two Mystery Dungeons really close together like this."

"That's kinda weird.  Oh yeah, Marcus, didn't you say you had a story for us as well?"

"I did.  Let me know when you're all ready to hear what I have to say.  We can move on to the Hidden Mine proper by continuing down the tunnel behind the Kangaskhan Rock, but I think you all should hear this first before we continue.  It's not exactly short, but time works weirdly in these transitionary rooms in my experience.  Being around these Kangaskhan Rocks speeds up healing enough for everyone to recover from most damage and statuses, but not a whole lot of actual time seems to pass either, so there should be plenty of time for me to say my piece."
