[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Spiritmon]

As always Gama is hide with camouflage for better sneak attacks against possible foes. Nagi is outside of his Pokeball, checking the place himself too with his light. Kogeki check the Unow letters to see if they are alive or not, but this time with careful without touch them.

"I going to check the next room in the front and see if there is any sort of trap."

Kogeki then decide to check ahead alert to all kinds of traps.

Assuming everyone is ready, the group heads down the stairs to Floor B4 of the Snowpoint Temple.

Floor B4

It is just as cold on the next floor as it was on the previous one, and the wind is definitely starting to pick up.  The howling, frigid wind blows through the temple's corridors unmercifully, bringing ice and snow along with it.  The current weather is Hail.

At the bottom of the stairs, the group finds themselves in a small room this time.  Unown writing can be seen on the wall to the group's right.



Walls form corridors, a stark contrast to the larger rooms the Snowpoint Temple usually features.  No braille adorns these walls...only Unown script.  It's almost like you've suddenly been transported to a different location entirely...but that can't be right, can it?

The stairwell has only one exit besides retreating back up the stairs from whence you came.  A doorway leads into a long corridor that supposedly heads deeper into the temple.

The arctic blast of bone chilling air and being pelted with the equally gelid slurry was like a slap in the face to Randolph, causing him to flinch back and let out an hiss of discomforted surprised before he recovered, teeth now bored in an extremely unhappy grimace as he took in everything he could see on B4's landing.

"................ Mit Hammer und Amboss findet dieser Ort immer wieder neue Möglichkeiten, uns zu überraschen, wie ein Lopunny-Akrobatiker. Beginnt zu denken, dass Snowpoint Temple jetzt aktiv mit uns schraubt , wie The House of Leave, und ist das nicht eine Freude?
Translation:.....By hammer and anvil, this place just keeps finding news ways to jump out on us, like a Lopunny Acrobatic. ...Starting to think Snowpoint Temple is now actively screwing with us, like The House of Leave, and isn't that a delight?
*Slowly shakes his head, pulling his knit cap a little more down, and speaking to everyone*

" *Sighs* Things keep getting better and more interesting with this investigation, huh. If all this we've experienced is a sign for things to come for our expedition into Mt. Coronet, we're going to be Cuboned, I think. Terrific...."

Ran let's out another heavy *Sigh*, before he recomposes himself and looks at everyone sternly and pointing to the only way forward.

"Well, no sense in whining about it now. Let's get a move, and find this 'Stage'  down here 'fore we become popsicles. *Looks at his partners* Brigid, upfront, Catherine behind us. Want you two to guard are front and rear, and keep an eye out for anything particularly strange or blatantly dangerous. Got it, girls?"

And with that, the bristly blacksmith is ready to go! He's also fine with Kogeki scouting ahead too, but reminds them to come back and rejoin the group afterwards, as splitting up here felt like a bad idea unless it couldn't be avoided.

It is just as cold on the next floor as it was on the previous one, and the wind is definitely starting to pick up.  The howling, frigid wind blows through the temple's corridors unmercifully, bringing ice and snow along with it.  The current weather is Hail.

Dear heavens, not more cold and chilliness - Kee's on the best way to develop a massive dislike for cold areas - Octavia desires to be recalled into her comfy Friend Ball at the sight of that hail, and he gladly fullfills that wish. "It's enough if ONE of us will catch a cold or worse", Kee mumbles too himself as he adjusts that checkered neckscarf in the faint hope that it'll increase its protection from the icy wind and hailstones - it only barely does.

When Kogeki proposes himself scouting ahead, the muscial guy chips takes a moment to give hima gaze that displays approval. Somewhat forced approval and a feeling that semi-splitting up now calls for desaster, but still approval at the end of the day. "Go if you want, but just take care."Then he crosses his arms and waits for the ninja to be out of sight before summoning his toxical vampire: Draven hisses at that hail the moment he's exposed to it and wraps his batlike wings closer around his body. The look he's giving Kee is one that clearly speaks 'Why tha heck did you summon me into this nonsense of weather, filthy human? (҂ `з´ ) Are you stuck in a cave again?'

That earns him a neutral glare in return. "Dontcha give me that look, Draven, I dislike that weather to the same degree like ya do. You see that doorway there leadin' to some sort of corridor?" Kee points to it. "I want for you to go there and see what's awaiting there, pay attention to anything that might be dangerous. You'll find one of us there, he's off to scout ahead a little - yes, you can accompany him if you like, or not, your choice. All I am asking you to is to not get yourself into trouble and pay attention to anything that reminds you of a stage - it says on that wall that this is what we need to keep an eye open for for whatever reason."

Kee's Minyan is obediant, and Kee's positive that he can take care of himself given his various lifestealing moves and potent poison.

(much better, replaced the dead link with the image address that Phantom put in the meta thread.)
"Uhm, what the heck happened?" Karen looks around, then when she notices the Unown, "Find the stage? Just how are we s'posed to find a stage in a labyrinth?" she thinks for a bit; "I'm gonna go see what is in the next room."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Colorful musican was just about to reply something to heterochromia girl along the lines of "That's for us to find out" with a bitter expression when she voices that retoric question about a stage, but that quickly gets sweeped like a defenseless Poison Type attacked by a Crit-Psyshock when she continues and drops that fateful next sentence.


" You're going too??! Being bold, today are we?~" In a much more quiet voice so that at best solely Karen gets it, he adds something that sounds like "Don't die in there - that'd be quite the loss." He also wipes some hailstones out of her hair just because, then turns away and towards Randoph, featuring a questioning look now.

"With all of 'em gone - should we go too? I don't want to unless they call for help."

Ran pinches his noses when he sees Karen run off after Kogeki and unnecessarily (in his opinion) made herself more vulnerable, annoyed and a little frustrated with the lack of foresight, Genre Saviness, and plain solidarity on display. What was the point of everyone tagging along with him to investigate Snowpoint Temple, if they weren't going to be doing it as a team and coming up + sticking to a general plan of action? Sure, splitting up could be a good thing in the right situations, but here, were there was only one way forward? Graah.....

The sour dandy's comment towards him snaps him out of his aggrevated thoughts, earning them a *Sigh* and a frustrated nod.

"I don't fancy the idea of running blindly ahead here with our forces divided, so let's just follow behind those two. But not too closely. If they're so eager to rush head long into the unknown, let them deal with whatever is lurking in the ill defined first. Come, let's go catch up to them, 'fore we lose track of them entirely...."

Kogeki and Karen lead the way into the next 'room', Randolph and Kee following close behind.

The stairwell's corridor lengthens, becoming a long, empty looking, frigid hallway.

   

The wind is blowing from the corridor on the group's right (picture's left).  Unown script decorates the walls (they don't appear to be actual pokemon). There's also a door at the end of the hallway.

Any interesting Unown Messages at this portion of B4?

Ran would elect to keep going forward and through the door at the end of the hallway, and INSISTS that the whole group stick together for now on. No splitting up or getting separated if they could help it!

Also, at this point the dwarven blacksmith pulls out a big fat piece of chalk and marks a big 'X' in the middle of the intersection, with an arrow pointing from it to the entrance of B4, so as to act as a indication that the group has been here before and minimize the possibility of getting lost. If he can, he'd also bring out his pickaxe so he could gouge a small but deep mark in the middle of the X, as a double precaution if something tries to erase this/future references . He's smart/savvy like that, and is starting to get a bit reasonably paraniod about Snowpoint Temple's supernatural elements!

No full messages.  Mostly just individual words.

And so on and so forth.

"Hmm. It seems most of these is someway reference to Legendary Pokemon. Time and Space is probably mentioned Palkia and Dialga. Creation, is probably reference to Arceus. Emotion, Willpower and Knowledge, probably about Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf. Good and Evil though... kinda reminds me about Aotios and Mutios, the ying yang Pokemon. In Tsukinami and most of Tandor, Aotios and Mutios is said to be god likes Pokemon who represent the duality between light and dark, good and Evil."

"There is even legends it's say different from other Legendary, those two incarnate in human avatars. The leaders of Tsukinami, Lord Kaito and Lady Hinata, is said to be the incarnate forms of those Pokemon. I don't believe that last part, but they do have powers beyond most human. They can see the future, and they witness dark forces acting in Coronet. And I have no reason to doubt then in that department."

"But god incarnates? Hah. To be honest I don't know if I should trust or not. It would be easy to believe they don't exist, and there is no one controlling our destiny, and we actually alone in the universe. This give some me feeling of peace. But....if they do exist...well, they probably forsaken us and I have someone to blame." Kogeki look the letters with some sadness in his eyes, but he decided to hide that and go forward. No time to old memories.
