Lost Temple: Exploration
| Top Section | The three floors closest to the surface. Due to the light streaming in through the porthole like windows that line the walls, this is the brightest, most airy feeling section of the Temple. The hallways here are fairly broad and the curved ceilings tower high above the average person's head. Many large, circular chambers can be found in this section, the sort that might once have been used to receive guests in the Temple. Though time has had its effects on most of the objects decorating the halls and chambers, you can still see this section of the Temple must once have been richly decorated. Pokemon (lvl 10-30): Squirtle, Poliwag, Seel, Shelder, Krabby, Staryu, Corphish, Feebas, Magikarp, Shellos, Chinchou, Corsola, Lotad, Barboach, Kabuto, Binacle, Clamperl, Castform (Rainy form), Popplio, Pyukumuku, Wooper, Dewpider, Dratini, Pincurchin Pieces of Slab found: 8/8 |
| Middle Section | The middle section consists of seven floors. Though some light still filters in from outside, most of the illumination here comes from strange, glowing crystals that are set at regular intervals along the walls. The hallways here are more narrow and less grand. The same goes for the chambers. You get the idea that this part of the Temple was perhaps more the personal domain of whoever once tended to this Temple. Compared to the first section, there are more hidden areas here, as well as traps preventing unauthorised individuals from accessing what had once been kept in this area of the Temple. Pokemon (lvl 20-60): Corsola, Corsola (Galarian), Gorebyss, Luvdisc, Finneon, Alomomola, Clauncher, Brionne, Wishiwashi, Arrokuda, Tentacool, Lanturn, Marill, Quagsire, Horsea, Marshtomp, Tirtouga, Frillish, Omanyte, Kabutops, Skrelp, Dragonair, Mareanie, Sealeo, Lileep, Anorith, Relicanth Pieces of Slab found: 8/8 |
| Lowest Section | The lowest section of the temple. You can barely go down a single floor before you hit the water. It seems that this part of the temple is partially (or perhaps entirely) submerged in water. Anyone interested in exploring this part of the temple will need to be ready to swim and have a pokemon that knows Dive*. The sunlight from above does not penetrate this deeply in the water, and the light that illuminates the large labyrinthine hallways in this section of the temple comes from strange, bioluminescent corals and water plants that cover the walls. From the way they are grown, it's clear they were purposely coaxed to grow in those area. Additionally, because of the submerged nature of this area of the temple, it seems that whoever designed this area fully took advantage of the fact that the water allows people to move in all directions, and nothing like staircases can be found. As you get lower, the floors get smaller, growing more narrow as you travel down the tail end of the temple. * If your pokemon are incapable of Dive, the Legendary Seekers will recommend a trip to the Marine Research Institute on Sevii Island Four, where a Move Tutor for this move is available. Pokemon (lvl 50-80): Blastoise, Seaking, Starmie, Dhelmise, Octilllery, Wailmer, Milotic, Huntail, Lumineon, Clawitzer, Barraskewda, Poliwrath, Tentacruel, Gyarados, Cloyster, Cursola, Kingdra, Mantine, Swampert, Sharpedo, Gastrodon, Carracosta, Jellicent, Toxapex, Walrein, Cradlily, Armaldo Pieces of Slab found: 9/9 |
Re: Exploration sign-up
Exploring section: Top!
Treasure Gacha sign-up: Claudia, Shinobu, and Sandalphon all want the mad loot!
no subject
A closer look at the ceiling reveals that rather than an actual sky, it is a very, very cleverly made mosaic, using various shades of seaglass to mimic the clear blue of the open sky.
One of the clouds in the mosaic looks odd though and on closer examination they find
Treasures:
Claudia finds a strange, egg-shaped ceramic vessel. It's small enough that it fits in the cupped palms for her hands. There is a hole in the top of the pot, as well as six (in two rows of threes) holes on the front, and two on the back. It has been glazed, and delicate wave patterns have been painted onto the surface of the pot. It may not be immediately clear to her, but it is actually an ancient type of instrument!
In addition, Shinobu finds an ancient book. Time and water have caused damage to its bindings and several of its pages, but the surviving pages show illustrations of various sea pokemon, song notes and simple lyrics which, when deciphered, appear to be about the pictured pokemon. The relative simplicity of the notes and words gives the impression that these were perhaps meant for children.
In addition, Sandalphon finds an ancient chest. It is not extremely large, and once he eases off the lid (the hinges are a bit worn and rusted), inside he will find three different-sized conches. At first they seem like just the normal shells one might find on the beach, but closer inspection shows that each conch has been modified, with small added holes and mouth-pieces. It seems that these were once used as instruments!
