FIRE SPIT ISLAND - POKEMON LEGENDS: ARCEUS

"you came! and with a friend." Farhan arrives, his torkoal in tow. Mt. Chimney billows smoke from its top, casting occasional soot and ash across your clothes. The sweltering heat here is already difficult to breathe in, for the heat swells and lingers in your lungs.

"i invited you here because of the drum you've come to own. have you played it yet?" farhan asks. "intergenerational fairytales told among the kindlers speak of a tabla that can produce fiery rhythms. This drum's beats are rumored to stir the passions within one's heart... a special kind of resonance."

He instructs you to begin beating the drum. Clapping his hands together, he asks you to repeat the rhythm as you beat the parchment: ba dum, dum, dum, ba dum da dum da dum.

"according to the story, the drum will lead us to a fiery heart." Farhan runs his finger through his facial hair, stroking the threads in thought. "i'm curious as to what this may mean. call upon your pokemon in case we attract danger, my friends. follow me..."

The Kindler begins to scale the mountain, while his Torkoal scouts ahead.

However, as expected, the drum invites danger. A swarm of Magcargo and Slugma emerge from the mountainside, drawn by the percussion. Although they seem benign, they may become a cumbersome if not deadly obstacle.

FARHAN DOES NOT MIND THE COMPANY. After all, there are more pressing matters at hand. The onslaught of lava Pokemon brings with it, sulfuric smoke and burned soil. As the drum is struck, the Magcargo and Slugma lunge.

But they are successfully fought back. In the aftermath of Killian Decker's blasts, a section of the mountain had crumbled away to reveal some kind of chasm. The beating of the drum tunnels in there. Drills in with every echo.

"an ultra beast." farhan says of the naganadel. he's nothing else of it. "look, the mountain is calling us by your drum beating." he says to @jessica.

he ventures in, torkoal lighting the way.

they traverse deeper and deeper: a hidden tunnel that drives into the heart of the volcano. the heat blooms in devilish degrees the further they go.

eventually, they are stopped by hard rock.

should @jessica play the drum again, the beating is repeated from the other side...

THE EARTH SHAKES AS THE ROCKY WALL IS ATTACKED. Behind the wall, the drumming beats even louder. Farhan remains calm in spite of this. He closes his eyes. Crosses his arms as his Torkoal breathes smoke.

Several artifacts are exposed for their taking. Excavating them may require a gentle more graceful touch, however.

There is still more to get through in order to pass.
