[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

In the interest of time, I'll give a brief overview of what Murkrow has to say about the Mass Kidnapping:

- They claim to have seen someone just appear out of thin air off to the side of the building. Strangely so - it did not show the tell tell signs of a traditional Teleportation, but rather they simply blurred into the place they were in with a weird glow around them for a second.
- The person was clad in 'tall flowing cloths, Mummy wrapped, clinkty clank!' from what they described them, and didn't seem to visibly carrying any Pokemon or using their Special Power like a Magi would from their discerning eye. One thing they noted that was REALLY Strange, though, as that their Eyes was completely covered up by dark grey cloth, but they could move around as if they had them wide open.
- The mysterious individual turned and gave them a smile and a bow  before making a *Sssshing* motion, and then entered into the Center. This creeped them out BIG TIME, as is part of the reason why they didn't want to speak about it - they're afraid the 'Conceal Clanky Clothy' would find out and do something about it.
- Last but certainly not least, they describe that almost a minute after they entered a wave of something appeared, flowing outwards from the center and suffocating the area in a blanket of unnatural silence and 'avoidance' , as if some force was 'Keeping the Healing Place quiet and welcoming as Mourning Grave, hrk....' . This seemingly kept the public from the Pokemon Center while whatever nefarious forces were at play ransacking the place and people - the only reason they weren't affected was sheer curiosity and their earlier dread rooting them to the branch as a witness. It eventually cleared up, and it was around that time that people 'returned' to the Center and discovered the horrible crime that took place. The rest, as they say, is history....

By the end the bejeweled raven looked extremely uncomfortable, flexing their talons anxiously around the branch they were hanging looking this way and that, as if they were expecting that very person to jump out to punish them for speaking.

"Mrrrrr....no more speak of this or that, no nay not! Strange, Weird, Bad, all never seen and never should have been sawn and sought! Magic, Earth Power, Starlight I know not, but know this I do: its core is Otherness Stifling All...."

After Sylvia passed this information to Seddi, he appears troubled by the news.

"Commonly used or not, what this Murkrow is describing definitely sounds like magic of some variety."

He'll have one followup question for the Murkrow.  The bird would have probably mentioned this already if they had seen anything of the sort, but more clarification never hurts.

"Hmmmm...wrapped in bandages, long flowing robes...a simple question for you, fine Murkrow: did you see anything shiny on the culprit's person?  Particularly on their hand.  Or did it look like the bandages and robes might have been hiding such gleams?  If they were making clanking sounds, there must have been a lot of metal on them."
