[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Yes, Nathan is learning interesting things from this tactic. Solosis is unshaken, to your eye.

Then you look at Ralts. Ralts is HORRIFIED, as he stares at Solosis. There just doesn't seem to be any will to this psychic Pokemon...and you're reminded how close Ralts came to being the same way.

Nathan stares at Solosis.

"...no will of your own, huh?"

...

"...I'm halfway tempted to put you out of your misery...it'd be so...easy..."

...time for a little test instead, though.

"...Solosis, go sit on the opposite corner of the hammock for me, will ya?"

[Iron]

Under threat of Calam, Solosis does what you ask. You don't get the impression that Solosis will obey a suicidal command or anything, but if it has nothing to gain by disobeying, it won't.

"Alright, so you still value yourself somewhat.  That's good to know.  So let me make this clear: you're only still alive right now because there's no good reason for you to be dead.  If you become enough of a liability, I can't guarantee things will stay that way.  And between me and the rest of the group, there's several ways you could meet your end almost instantaneously.  So I wouldn't recommend causing any trouble.  And you also already saw how much good trying to flee will do you.  Behave yourself and don't try to run again, and we won't have any problems.  Got it?"

[Iron]

Solosis nods. It can still understand that much!

Solosis nods. It can still understand that much!

"Alright, good.  Now, I do have one more question for you: how much do you care for your 'friends', the ones that were giving you orders?  Would you put helping them over your own safety if they asked you to?"

Heart awake and couldn't find some peace after hearing the discussion of these two. "If you two don't mind, I going to check it out around us. Trying to find any kind of clue about where our little visitor came. Since I have better Stealth skills in the ground I should be the one to take a look." That's and because Heart still thinking about what Shiva say and as much she is her friend, Heart would prefer to avoid her for a while. 

Wow. Shiva intimidation was more effective than it appears. "Don't worry about me, see you guys soon." Heart say all of this without his usual smile. If someone could noticed, he is not very happy today. To avoid anything Heart decided to forward in his job.

Let's see... Heart does find another patch of goo, dripping from another hole in the ceiling. There's a tunnel up there, running parallel to yours and ending quite abruptly at the hole.

As far as you know, you weren't spotted by anyone or anything.

"Hmm...." Heart take a look on these goo. "This goo is quite similar to the one we have find before....better take a sample to show Mr. Finder and the others." Say Heart and he take search his bag and find a empty potion bottle (yes, he keep those too) and take a bit of that goo. After that Heart decided to follow that tunnel from where this goo is going.

Mechanic: Dexterity+Survival+Stealth to hide in the shadows to have all the careful of the world to not be seen by wild Pokemon or possible Scimitars. And in case of something to happen...Insight+Survival+Alert to all surroundings to any danger. The total total of the first roll is Dex (3) + Survival (3) + Stealth (3 since I add 1 point) = 9d6. And the second roll is Insight (3) + Survival (3) + Alert (2) = 8d6.

"Alright, good.  Now, I do have one more question for you: how much do you care for your 'friends', the ones that were giving you orders?  Would you put helping them over your own safety if they asked you to?"

Solosis nods immediately. Ralts confirms.

*rolls*

The tunnel goes on quite a long time without more than the occasional drop of goo. No more puddles. How long would you want to go down the tunnel? After ten minutes you've found nothing interesting.

[Dragonstrike]

Solosis nods immediately. Ralts confirms.

"...then we might have a problem later down the line for the exact reasons I just stated before that question. You know what could happen in that case.  Another question, though: are you Happy with that state of affairs?"
