Tyrrier Cornèbre Forest

[Tetra]

He wondered if this Looker knew an Avis or not... Not relevant. Setting the thought aside he let himself finally relax a little, the nervous tension in his shoulders unknotting.

"How long have you been here? Have you learned anything else about this area so far, maybe we can exchange notes?"

A shame that Garnet was still here, he didn't want to explain everything about them within earshot of her.

Looker nodded at Laura. "Reven Hollow. It's where we've been staying at as well. There's an inn not too far from the citadel, there may be enough room for you there." At Koa he added, "A couple months and it seems that the odd happenings were occurring before I arrived," he turned to walk, presumably towards Reven Hollow. "Tell me what you know and, if there are any, I can fill in any gaps you might've stumbled across. We'll walk as we talk."

 

[Namohysip]

Mhynt nodded, thoughtful. He seemed trustworthy enough, though compared to what they'd encountered prior, that was their best bet.

"I'm supposing our existing situation isn't easy to salvage just yet?" She said, glancing back. "We were hoping to investigate further inside, but if they have traps rigged everywhere and actively hostile otherwise... hm."

 

[Butterfree]

The word 'citadel' rang too much of a bell. Dave furrowed his brow. "Wait a minute. Is this the place where... we heard something about a 'vampire'? Some local lord who's taken over?" He padded up to Looker's side. "What I gathered was the Murkrow are acting weird, like they have been all over the place, maybe because of a Honchkrow. There was supposedly, uh, a wild Gyarados that's just watching people. Then there's all these markings on trees. Something about rumours of a Saint tampering with signs and landmarks? And obviously the big beam of light thing from the island dungeon."

"Well, you seemed to have done a good job on disarming most of them," Looker said, resting a forepaw beneath his chin. "I don't believe that disarming the rest would be too difficult." He nodded at a couple of the faster members of the Dog Squad and with a pair of affirming yips, they ran back in the direction from which they came. "Regardless, you won't have to worry about them for a while. We'll be sure to keep them at bay while you find what you're looking for."

He started walking deeper into the forest, no doubt leading the group to the citadel. "Sounds like just the one," Looker chuckled in reply to Dave. "Revenia got a new lord, or margrave if you want to be more formal about it, just a few months ago – not too long before I arrived, actually. And, while effective, many have been happy to point out that he's... a bit of an odd one. Haven't seen or met him myself but I've heard a few things from the townsfolk. Rarely, if ever, goes out during the day, for example." He sighed as the mightyena continued. "The activities of wild pokémon too... they began after this new lord came into power. Almost immediately too, like he just has this effect on them."

Looker yawned. "No point in speculating when you're bound to find the answers soon enough! I'll take you to a tavern on the outskirts of town so you can rest up and ask around a bit and then we can tackle the dungeon with more knowledge." He barked and the other canines began to pick up the pace.

"Let's not dally now, the day isn't going to get any lighter!"
