[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

The pathway continues for some distance.  Pyra and Kogeki can't tell if it dead ends or not unless they were to move to an entirely new tile, but they definitely don't spot anything out of the ordinary at their current position.

Once it becomes clear that there's no attacker or anything that'll jump at them like it did on poor Salandit, Ziggy Kee comes out of his hiding spot. His expression is one of utter confusion mixed with just as much interest, given how his claws twitch he's EAGER to find out what happened.

But for how there are more important issues in his view, so he huff-sighs into the ravine. "Humm, fine. Nat goin' t'show yarself? Well well then..." While Pyra and Kogeki opt to investigate the ravine, the smol crittercoon zigzags over to the OHKO'd Salandit. He carefully nudges them with his nose. "Hey there. Ya're able t'hear me? Please show if ya do. Am nat goin' t'harm ya, am here t'help ya...." Given how they're fainted (appearantly), there's likely no response - Kee looks over to Karen and quickly beckons her to come over to him. "Karen-dearest, could ya pwease patch them up a little with yar healthy life dews? I wish t'ask that poisonous lizard what's the matter."

"Hmm...this might be dangerous. Whatever attacked the Salandit probably was hiding in that pathway...or it is still hiding. Pyra, I think I should check the pathway to see what I can find, or if our friend is still hiding in the darkness. I have better chances in doing so if I go alone. Stealth is the greatest skill of a ninja."

No response from the Salandit because they're very much unconscious, but they're breathing.

*rolls*

Now that Kee's closer, he can also tell the lizard is also very wet, like they were just hit with a powerful Water move.

Karen wants to help if she can, but she's uncertain about the Zigzagoon's request.  "Uh...I mean, yeah, I could, but...I don't that'll revive them by itself."

Marcus has a suggestion, though.  "Why not just send them to the guild with the badge?  They'll be safe there.  We can worry about them later."

"*Shakes head* ....We shook stick and stay close to our friends, I believe-think Kogeki. Splitting our group in a Mystery Dungeon is a bad, bad idea unless need be, indeed, caused us no end of trouble when Karen got separated by her Teleporting. ....But if you wish to scout ahead sneakily, to brave the corridor ahead alone-hidden.....then do as you may, and I shall tell everyone else about it to prepare, yes."

Concerning Salandit, right now Pyra and Kogeki are not involved with it at all, so if you could resolve it before they get back so they don't have to.....well, she'd have nothing to complain about.

Kogeki nod his head in understood and tell her. "Give five minutes. If in five minutes I do not come back, go ahead and complete the mission...The safety of the others is more important than mine."

"Wish me luck dear friend."

Then Kogeki using the shadows and his scarf he blend in the darkness ahead, making sure to not be noticed, but at the same time looking everywhere for any possible enemy.

Also @Dragonstrike, I increasing my Alert skill from 0 to 1. Time to raise my ability to detect danger.

Action: Stealth roll to hide in the shadows and check ahead. And Alert roll to notice dangers but also not get a surprise attack.

Kogeki quietly slinks off down the corridor all on his lonesome, trying to make as little noise as possible..

*rolls*

After traveling down the corridor a little ways, Kogeki finds that he's definitely found yet another dead end.

   

At first glance, there doesn't appear to be anything of note there, but nothing attacks him immediately, so Kogeki does a more thorough investigation.

*rolls*

Kogeki doesn't spot anything out of the ordinary that might hint at the attacker's current location during his investigation, however.  No items, no footprints, no strange noises...but nothing also jumps out at him from the shadows, either.

This takes him a good few minutes since he's trying to do it all quietly.

It is somehow a good feeling in do this kinda of thing. A feeling in be one with the shadows. In not be see by the enemies, and feel...untouchable. He dont know if this feeling is something from his Pokemon side, or from his human side. But this adrenaline in be almost be discover like some sort of self challenge...is also great somehow but something who make sharp his skills.

From time to time Kogeki use some stones to hide behind and trying to peak ahead and in the top of the cavern. Some gaps in the walls he also try to hide, using sometimes his Quick Attack to double his speed.

Guess be a Pokemon have its perks. Specially when you have ninjutsu training. 

After analyzing the place, he decided it was time to return to the others. And so he did making sure to return to the path he did back to the others, return in the same way he came.

[Spiritmon]

While the others talking about what to do with Salandit and Pyra waiting for his return Kogeki quick return to the others with stealth skills and give his report to problably Pyra (if she is with the others since she said it would inform the others about Kogeki scout ahead). "I back. There is nothing ahead. Only a dead end. I also didnt find the location of the attacker."

"No items. No footprints. No strage noises. Whatever attack Salandit it vanish. I have a few theories."

1 - The guy have stealth even sharpier than mine. He problably attacked Salandit and take his opportunity to run away when we came. His main target was problably only Salandit and didnt desire to fight us.

2- He is problably a Ghost-type with a ability to pass though walls. He problably did that to have a big escape.

3 - He use some sort of secret passage. Thats another possibility but I didnt find any door or mechanism to open a secret passage. And I dont think we should try find it since we would loose some precious time.

"And that end both my reports and theories." Kogeki once again cross his arms.

Yeap, Pyra would be with the others by that point, so he'd be giving the report to everyone (practically speaking) after she explained to them that he went on ahead to scout out that path and its threats. The she demon was both highly curious and confused with the news, tilting her head this way and that and trying to parse out how it all happened.

".....Whatever reason and answer it might be, we can not divine it yet, no. More information, some clues must be found, before any truth may from this tangle-mystery be unwound. Strange and worrisome, it is indeed...."

If nobody else has anything to say/guess about this whole now enigmatic occurrence, then Pyra would be ready to move on at Kee's command! Now that the group knows that way is a dead end, they must make double time towards the path that leads to the Secret Mines!
