[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

"Something about this reminds me of a certain action movie." Karen carefully picks up the NeverMeltIce, if nothing bad happens, she'll take all three items.

When Karen picks up the NMI, she sees a picture of a pokemon made entirely of ice that has dots for eyes underneath it, carved into the top of the pedestal.

Similarly, underneath the Icy Rock and the Everstone are pictures of a Mamoswine and a Glalie.

(is that respectively? In other words, under Icy Rock is Mamoswine and Everstone is Glalie.)
"Huh, pictures... I wonder." She places her palm on the Regice picture to see if anything happens

The Glalie picture is underneath the Icy Rock, while Mamoswine is under the Everstone.

Nothing of any particular note happens when Karen places her palm on the NMI's pedestal.  It just feels like really cold stone.

(@Dragonstrike, so....did Mighty accept Kogeki help or not?)

(@Spiritmon, you don't have to post those standalone questions in the game thread.  That's what the meta thread is for.)

Poocheyena is a little hesitant at first to take food from a stranger, but with a little encouragement from Mightyena, Poocheyena starts to sniff at the food Kogeki is providing.

Then proceeds to gobble it down without any hesitation at all.  All of it (mark off the 2 Sitrus Berries and 2 Leppa Berries).  Kogeki has to give it to Poocheyena slowly, lest the pupper make itself sick from eating too quickly.

Poocheyena is rather nervous around the two Fairy types that Kogeki summons, and Mightyena is staring them down, making the both of them nervous as well.

L: (6)(4)
D: (1)(2)

L: (4)(2)

Both Fairies use Heal Pulses as commanded, though (mark off 1 Will for each one, Spirit).  While the two waves of healing energy don't heal any HP, they do help Poocheyena feel a little bit better.

Poocheyena, now stuffed from all of that food and fully refreshed, quickly falls asleep on the spot with a smile on their face.  Mightyena nods approvingly at Kogeki.

Yeah, Juhani definitely doesn't hesitate to drink down that Protein once it's made clear what it is.  She can be physically strong again?  Yes please!

Though she still has a ways to go before she has her full Strength back, this is a good, positive pick-me-up for the Delta Grotle.  +1 Happiness for Juhani.

With the job done, Kogeki was happy to have saved a life. "Thank you. Both of you. You have saved a life." With that said, he return Cleffa to the PC. He talk back to Mightyena. "Great and powerful Mightyena, permit be your and Pochyena trainer. I will never let food be go empty, and I can make sure my son could also be a great person to take care of you if you don't want to stay with me."

"I want to help you and your child. Give me and my son the chance of you two have a peaceful and wealth life. There lots of food in Tsukinami, with fish and islands for you to hunt. You have my word as a ninja."

Karen takes another look at the braille; "Pokemon, frost, eternal?" she scrunches her eyebrows; "Whatever, probably referring to the Pokemon in that picture," she glances at the Regice picture, "Whatev's." she takes the items and gets ready to regroup.

Hehehehehe. Well, the Temple may make fun of him and enjoy to mess with him, but it's also proving to be a nice bonding time with that snowy turtle of his. Kee's giving that special and icy Grotle an approving pet on her forehead (how bold of you), he withdraws that hand still quickly though. "You can try out your highened power at the soonest opportunity, I hope you'll enjoy it~" She's recalled into the safety of her Pokeball.

Eventually musical guy's ending up at the stairs, still feeling cold despite that warm checkered neckscarf and fluffy red jacket. Octavia's still out and semi-slung around his shoulders to provide additional wamth and comfort, her sparkling ribbons faintly waving around despite there's no wind blowing (yet).

Mightyena stares carefully at Kogeki...

Empathy: (6)(5)(2)(2)(6)(6)(3) +1
Will: (1)(6)(4)(1)(5)(1)(2)(1)(1)

Mightyena gives a *ruff!* in agreement and goes to stand next to her pup.  She's only got two conditions: her pup needs to be taken good care of, and the two of them need to stay together, at least for the time being.

Everyone reaches the stairs to Floor B3 without any further complications.

However, just like before, a door bars the way forward.  The braille writing on the door this time says:

⠞⠓⠑ ⠞⠓⠗⠑⠑ ⠅⠑⠽⠎ ⠎⠓⠁⠇⠇ ⠕⠏⠑⠝ ⠞⠓⠑ ⠺⠁⠽ ⠋⠕⠗⠺⠁⠗⠙

Set into the wall are three pedestals, each labeled with braille.  Karen notes that they're the same design as the ones that were set into the three pillars, though they lack the pictures engraved into the top.

First one: ⠞⠓⠑ ⠏⠕⠅⠑⠍⠕⠝ ⠞⠓⠁⠞ ⠓⠁⠎ ⠝⠕⠞ ⠉⠓⠁⠝⠛⠑⠙ ⠎⠊⠝⠉⠑ ⠁⠝⠉⠊⠑⠝⠞ ⠞⠊⠍⠑⠎

Hooray for more puzzles in Braille, hooray for more decoding - actually though, Kee's starting to wonder WHO has placed them here and whether they've been here always or has only appeared recently. Eh... Just another mystery that adds to all the mysterious stuff happening at the moment.

He's up to take the task of decoding all the text once more, just because it's giving him something to do that needs concentration and focus, aka it'll put his mind off the cold for a while. If someone of the group chips in and wishes to claim a part to translate themselves, he'll let 'em.

Decoded part

He and Octavia stare at the paper with the freshly encrypted text, turning it around to look at the message from different angles. "'Kay then..... That door's requirering three keys to open, three 'things' that'll bring us to tha next floor. Given what the other messages spell out, theses keys appear to be answers to some sort of word puzzles."

He's passing around the paper with said messages around so that everyone can take a look at it and give their input: Required are 'a Pokemon still being in the state it was during ancient times', 'the master of the cold that does never melt regardless what happens' and 'a stone in an armor'. *cue for Karen to remember what the pillars depicted*
