"I reckon we were going to follow these 'gliffs with the path Keno found after lowering the water level?" Jason suggested standing in the path.

(OOC: assuming the Corphish isn't trying to kill Keno at the moment)
Agreeing with Jason, "That would be the way I'd go," not liking that Jakar could have possibly got ahead of them, "let's get a move on!"

Keno, you are startled at first, but still still able to keep calm enough to not panic. You find that the grip of the claw easily slips off as you pull away. Your intuition tells you that the creature was studying you. It's clear it never encountered a human before.

Jason nods and waits for Keno, and hopefully the others, to join him before heading deeper into the pathway being careful not to slip on any slick spots.

Seeing Jason nod at Keno John figured they where ready to head out and started down the path. This is unlike me, he thought seeing as he took the lead to move on, though prompted by a head nod.

Despite her annoyance at him earlier, Izzy waits for Keno to head towards the path before she follows the group.

After crossing the puddles and eroded rocks, you pass through the tunnel and into another chamber. This one was quite large and circular at hundreds of feet in diameter. At the center, there was a blackened pile of charcoal. Surrounding it were terraces of carved limestone with simple structures that looked like hits that were made of wood and clay. A sign that was posted on the lowest terrace said in bold letters, "REPLICAS! DO NOT TOUCH!"
To the north was another passage that the chattering echoed from. It was bordered with wood pillars. A wooden door hanged, ajar over it. Sun-like patterns were carved all over it.

Keno is drawn by the chatter, abiding by the rules of the sign, studying the wooden pillars as he went.

"I'd say that's a sign if there ever was one," Jason commented about the door.
The whole room through him a little. It reminded him of the Visitor Center above him and he hadn't thought too much on the fact the caverns and the center were connected. But in this room, it seemed like another addition to the exhibits.
Perception Check to listen to the chatters when Jason reaches the door, to maybe see if they are Pokemon or People in origin

Isabella follows the group, ignoring the display and focusing on the decorated door and the chanting beyond.

You all find the chattering to be originating from pokemon. They sound like a lot of birds, screeching and chirping at each other. Keno, you move so stealthily that nobody else can hear your footsteps. Too bad that you could hear theirs. You also catch a glimpse of what looks like a box inside one of the huts. It strangely resembles a large, square pokeball. Izzy, your education tells you the way seems to lead to another sacred site in the cave. You have also determined that the calls sound like those made by Taillow.

Izzy nips her lower lip as she glances to the others and whispers, "Normally Taillow, the Pokémon making those calls, are blue-ish Normal-Flying Types... but who knows what surprises they might have with the mutations we've been seeing in this cave.

"Taillow huh? I didn't see anything about them in the visitor center, and why birds in a cave?"
His eyes were fixed on the odd container in the hut, he approached for a closer look, "there's something in here..."

Keno, you find that the box is made of some kind of vinyl or plastic. There is a button on the front that looks like a latch to keep it shut.

Jason stands at the door, keeping his eyes on his companions. Taillow would frequent his farm, nesting in the barn's high rafters and making a meal of any seeds left out. Them being here didn't make much since, but then again, nothing down here made too much since yet either.
"What'd you find?" he asks after Keno makes his discovery.

Curious at the strange find John watches near Jason, "Is it a capture device of some sort?" he asks interested if it is.

Izzy frowns as the group clusters around the hut, "Can non of you read? The sign says not to bother the display."
She ignores them and continues moving towards the sound of the flock of Taillow.

Izzy, after you pass through the door, you find yourself in another chamber and the chattering stopped, leaving only the sound of wind from above. This room isn't as big as the one with the huts, but you still feel like you have plenty of space. The ground is nice and flat here with very few puddles and seems to have been carved in a way to allow regular movement. Scattered all around you, you find what appear to be clay pots. All of them seem to be of the same size, but each one has a unique symbol that look like the petroglyphs from before. These ones looked carefully etched into the pottery, before being fired and hardened. Three particular ones sit neatly in a row up ahead on a raised stone pedistal below a gaping hole in the ceiling. The bright light of the sun shines down on them, creating shafts that make almost a divine appearance. However, this beauty is ruined by the numerous holes in the walls that seem to make it look them a honeycomb. You get the feeling of being watched from looking at them.

"It said not to touch, no rules against looking!" He spoke like a kid professing his innocence on a technicality.
"Looks like plastic, or some kind of modern day material. If it is an ancient capture device, it's not a real one like the sign says."
Keno sulks after Izzy, still miffed about her habit if scolding himher but also not wanting to let another initiate to get ahead of him like Jakar. Once he got over the situation, Keno would realize Izzy might even be correct; not that he'd say that out loud.

Keno would find Izzy just a few steps into the next chamber. She looks over the three pots from a distance, trying to keep in a position that will allow her to see any possible surprises come from the holes in the walls. When she spots Keno she whispers, "I think the Taillow might have gone out the holes on top."
She tries to think of any Pokémon who might make their homes in the holes.
