Lost Temple: Exploration

[indigo_league]

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

Sometimes you find secret rooms through painstaking investigation. Sometimes you find them because someone trips, tries to catch themselves on a small shelf and a section of wall just suddenly drops.

Behind the wall is a narrow hallway, so narrow that they are forced to walk single file (and possibly some of the group may need to go sideways rather than straight) but eventually it leads to a small dark room.

This temple has been long abandoned, but somehow the room manages to feel even more abandoned than the temple as a whole. As if even when the temple was still thriving, this room had already been hidden away from view and forgotten.

The room is filled with very little. There is a rough, stone altar against the back wall and on it sits a single Helix fossil, elevated on a small platform. The remains of candles sit on either side of the fossil.

Treasures:

First of all, each member of the team is going to find one (1) Helix fossil. In addition, Dimitri will find a Jaw Fossil. Dedue will find a shield fossil and Ashe will find a Sail fossil.

In addition, Dedue will find a sheathed knife. The blade, unfortunately, has broken and is beyond repair, but the handle curves and spirals in a rather incredible manner. It's easy to see that this was not a knife meant for fighting or preparing food, but instead something cerimonial.

(seriously, it must have been either ceremonial or decorative cause it is a pain in the rear to hold)

In addition, Ashe will find a painted slab of rock. Hieroglyphs on the rock depict a massive omanyte, as well as a world torn asunder, pokemon drowning in the waters. Has it come to save us or is it the cause of the destruction? It is impossible to tell.

We can only hope it is not a prophecy. Or, if it is, that it will look kindly upon us in our hour of need.

But seriously, 80% sure, it is not a prophecy.
