Paduak's rain dance brings about a downpour that washes away most of the dirt and mud. To finish the job, Avens presses their tongue against the millenia-old vase and gives it a good, long lick. (Gross!)
Success! +2 RPT
Avens's mouth wipes the vase spotlessly clean. A bit too clean, you think, as you watch massive flakes of paint peel off the vase and melt into Avens' tongue. So much for all that intricate patterning.
Suddenly, the vase begins to shake violently! Startled, Avens and Paduak back away. The wax seal pops off the vase like a cork from a champagne bottle. And from inside the vessel emerge two ominous, terrifying Pokemon...
:sv/linoone: "The time hath come. Thou, who hast unshackled the eternal binds! Repent, for thy... wait, something feels off."
:sv/lokix: "Yeah, why are you people so... tall?"
Battle 3 to follow.
