[SEASON 2] The Stalkers RPG - Main Action and Team Status [ENDED... FOR NOW]

[Suicune's Fire]

Alright, guess I'll survey these abandoned buildings with extra caution... Since I know the Stalkers were here, let's see if I can find any clues.

Search (8) Shalerich Apartment Building (Abandoned).

You approach the obviously abandoned Shalerich Apartment Building with a strange feeling in your gut. Your fluffy, cloudy feathers rise higher the closer you get until you're at the front door. It's eerily quiet around these parts, and you have a feeling that the Stalker presence in Silvercoal City has something to do with that.

You cautiously head on inside, flicking your eyes about to survey the narrow hallway. The paint on the walls is chipped, the floorboards are caked with dirt, and you can swear that you smell something disgusting wafting through the building. Nevertheless, you keep going, opening what doors you can and briefly checking the rooms you pass. The building has crumbled since it was inhabited what seemed to be long ago. Perhaps this place was abandoned before the Stalkers, but it's hard to tell.

A few floors up, you can begin to feel the floor getting more unstable. The roof looks like it could come crashing at any second, but you know that the most important thing is that you keep looking until you find a clue...and that's when you see it.

Tucked away in a broken part of the wall, you can see something gleaming. The closer you get, the easier you can make out dark, disturbing images scrawled across the walls. There are sick drawings of what looks to be vines wrapped around the necks of three Pokémon: a Beedrill, a Girafarig and a Patrat. Even though the depictions are crude, you can clearly make out the terror in their eyes as they are strangled mercilessly. In the darkness of the building, your eyes begin to play tricks on you and your heart skips a beat or two.

However, before it can affect you, you utilise your Security skills and smear the wall scrawls. Thankfully it smudges away, and although you still feel uncomfortable, you avoid taking any hits to your sanity. You don't know what these drawings mean, but you know that they relate to the golden-brown metal box which appears to have been carelessly thrown into the wall cavity.

Carefully approach the box and note that its engravings look an awful lot like vines or tendrils. The box gives you a foreboding feeling, but as you go to open it, you realise that it's locked shut, and the only way to get it open is with the correct key. You then try to move it, but it's stuck fast. It appears you'll have to come back with the key if you want to open it.

With that noted, you rush out of the building without a second glance.

{Tendril Locked Box: Vine Emblem} has been noted in the Team Reports.
