[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Water Scimitars are the ones who are better at healing, but the Scimitars have good stock of Potions to keep themselves healthy.

Azu hears muttering inside.

Is anyone opposed to Terra's plan of just Rock Smashing the gates? Cosh is fine with that. There doesn't seem to be any handles or puzzles capable of opening the doors. They are intended to be sealed forever.

No gripes from me, in fact, Spira'd offer to summon Toya to help smash them doors

(...) Azu hears muttering inside.

INSIDE? As in, 'inside the door'?? This layer of the Ruins is full of illogical stuff even Shiva's dreamy mind can't progress. ''....Muttering? Azu, please let me try once too." The fae rabbit happily lets her listen at the door alongside her. Can Shiva determine whether these sounds are coming from Pokemon or from lost souls/ghosts?

Now that Azu's outside already, she can surely display her Huge Power and help smashing that door into pieces.

"Shiva, found and caught a Mismagius earlier that you might be interested in seeing, and maybe even keeping, careful though, pokeball's hot." He describes it as best as possible, as he doesn't wanna risk it causing a ruckus.

@Iron ready to continue when you are. Let's go.

"Shiva, found and caught a Mismagius earlier that you might be interested in seeing, and maybe even keeping, careful though, pokeball's hot." He describes it as best as possible, as he doesn't wanna risk it causing a ruckus.

????? Shiva's confused at first why she in particular is supposed to be interested in a Mismagius, that's a scary Pokemon if mistreated. She musters that Pokeball, then gives Spira a σ(￣、￣〃) - expression. "W...why IS that Ball so red and freakin' hot, what's wrong with that Mismagius??"

However, upon being told that this exemplar is very very witchy, even more witchy and arcane than normal exemplars, Shiva's state drastically changes, now she's so delighted over that offer that she immediately pulls Spira into a close and dear hug that she this time  doesn't break right away. Her 'senpai noticed me'-feelings are very strong. :>

"But... But are you sure you are fine with letting me have it? For real now?? You're into ghosts after all, you're more experienced not only breeding but also in battling."

[Dragonstrike]

As soon as being out of that blackness, Shiva takes a deeeeeep breath, recalls Whimsicott + Raphael and summons Yena again (he snarls at the darkness as a farewell), then gets ready to find the others along with Arachna. "Come on, they can't have wandered away too far." Whoever the two run into first, Shiva's relieved and delighted to meet, and reassures that her wounds are less bad than they look. She'll still kindly ask for a Heal Pulse from Gallade or Gustav before continuing. "Please? All these rats got me and Arachna quite badly either way... *nervous laughing*"

Nope, I'm fine with that AFTER Shiva's healed up to at least 7/9hp (currently 2/9hp) with that requested Heal Pulse (@Spiritmon or Dragonstrike, can you help out with that please?) or Scimitar Spells and AFTER she has investigated the stone door herself, which includes letting Yena sniff on it and Azu placing an ear onto it. "Is there anything particular you two are picking up, something that could be a threat...?"

Arachnautilus shall heal herself as part of the deal to catch jet-black Delta Raichu, but I'd like for her to not lack more than 3hp. (Don't know how many she has in total)

Nathan does look a little worried when Shiva and Arachnautilus wander over looking obviously in bad shape.  You can bet that he asked what the heck happened, and is rather...unnerved when Shiva explains that it was a large swarm of rat pokemon that did that.  I imagine any clothing that was near their feet is starting to look like it's in tatters, given the nature of the swarm's big attack.  

Spirit, Gustav's assistance for such a large amount of healing would be good.  Gallade's Heal Pulse isn't exactly strong enough on its own to heal such a large amount of damage.

Or Spira (@Mikaruge108) could have Ditto Transform into Gustav and have it use a Mega Launcher boosted Heal Pulses on damaged characters.  That's one of the main reasons I recommended we bring Ditto in the first place, after all.

Nathan would also inquire how everyone else's encounters went to determine if any more healing is required before we move on.

The group reunites at the Barrow Down, where Cosh reminds you that we need to get through these doors and down into the tunnels.

The Barrow takes the form of a large earthen dome with many names marked on stones in ancient scripts. 

Is anyone opposed to Terra's plan of just Rock Smashing the gates? Cosh is fine with that. There doesn't seem to be any handles or puzzles capable of opening the doors. They are intended to be sealed forever.

There's a missing wall as well, right?  Does Calam sense any danger from crossing the wall that might differ from opening the door?

The latter's no big deal, Shiva's got enough warm, comfy and dark knee socks with that one pair in pieces doesn't mean much to her, the Ranger's Cloak's hem already was a bit torn when she got it. "B-both me and Arachnautilus have caught something nice already in return for that trouble! Hehe... These Ruins are full of strange stuff." She's chuckling over that, but actually she means that partly honest.

When Shiva request a Heal Pulse, Heart bring Gustav and order him to launch 1 or 2 Heal Pulses.
