[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Dizzy's will is focused to a Razor Wind's edge, knowing how close everyone's goals are.

[Iron]

As you traverse the maze of pillars, a voice forces entry into your minds, causing Ventus (at least) to wince. Mr. Finder cowers. It's an oily voice, but its force is harsh in contrast to the silence of this area.

"WELL DONE." That's all it says.

Suddenly, the room's light transitions to pale green. Five Reuniclus ooze through the tunnel into the chamber, protected by Barriers and Light Screens. More light comes from metal spikes in the ooze above their heads, wired in rings and glowing with energy. The Pokemon have their hands clasped, each taking cover behind a pillar and sending psychic power questing from their pseudohands.

Their silent command goes forth, to come to them and be subsumed. But you are experienced adventurers now, strong of will and exposed to more strange forces than most trainers will ever see in their lives. You resist the call.

Heart balance his head and try to refocus about what the hell have happened. "Uh, is anyone too heard any voice in the head? Or my sanity finally is fading like tree in winter?"

Metal spikes and wires?

Nathan is instantly wary of these Reuiniclus.  Is Kirlia picking up any sort of emotional reading from them?

Yep, Kirlia is confident they are hostile and tricksy. But like the Solosis, they don't have much will of their own, other than their offensive power.

(Nice to see you again, Iron o/ )




A voice within Shiva's head! It's not the other....'voice' within her mind, the one she occassionaly converses with and sometimes encourages, sometimes blames her depending on the situation. This one was DIFFERENT, so different... It caused Shiva to halt instantly, look around with a startled expression and clinch to both Ventus' and Gothy's hand a little more while her heartrate increased and her breath became more shallow.

In response to Heart, she only nodded to him. This wasn't imagination, yes. It was true.

Before anything more could be done, said or prepared, this psychic waves came in - well, not directly at them, but Shiva could definitely feel them, has she trained several Psychic Type Pokemon and developed her own sixth sense by that. Her gaze janked over to Lilith with her - was she doing fine, did she showed any reaction?  - before she fixated these Reuniculus hiding behind the pillars with a careful gaze. So many of them together - It was known that their psychic power should not be underestimated if they get together.

Wordlessly, she kept on looking at these green Pokemon in this pale green light for a little, before she found her voice: "'Well done', you said.... Are you praising us for having reached this far? Have we passed a test we had never known off? Strong and elusive Reuniculus, there is nothing to be fear from us as long as you don't give us a reason to attack. Are you guardians of the place that marks our destination?"

[Iron]

The Reuniclus don't answer your question, but just continue their assault on your mind.

"...no, they're not Guardians, Shiva.  They're spies."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"...no, they're not Guardians, Shiva.  They're spies."

".........No. Please not. Please not......Not THESE. No. Not so....many......." She stumbles back while not averting her gaze from THEM, almost into the arms of her own mighty Psychic Type. As if she was seeking cover in Gothitelle's closure. At once, her voice grows fearful. The call's resisted as the Castle of her Mind has been reconquered by now, but she could still feel it...

"You mean.... THESE without a will (almost she she said 'the dead ones'), spies of you-know-who? How... and why... are they HERE? When.... have they..... Have we..... We............have to pass them, but they won't let us pass...like nothing, will they....? Dark Types.... We need to..... defeat 'em, do we? To pass...."

[Iron]

Dizzy is grimly facing the Reuniclus, but not head-on as he's done to other foes. No, he hides in the darkness, where he can contribute a few ranged attacks if the opportunity presents itself to do so without revealing himself.
