DANGEROUS DISCOVERIES RAID
SETTING: MID-DECEMBER
FIRST POST



[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qlvgdm1RxI1yjyalbo1.mp3[/player][break][break]

ROUTE 4




EXPERIMENTATION LEADS TO DISCOVERY; is the first to remove his statue. It comes out with ease. Underneath, several grooves are revealed. They align with the statue's base implying that each statue can fit snugly should they prove a good match. Should he examine the bottom of his statue, he’ll notice that it has THREE prongs despite the FOUR sockets that lay bare before him. [break][break][break]



Likewise, will find her situation reversed. Her statue has FOUR prongs but her spot has an opening of THREE sockets. Unfortunately, that’s the most she’ll be able to do. When she pulls out the statue entirely she’s also overcome with her own drowsiness. She BLACKS OUT, falling onto the ground and dropping the statue as it rolls away from the pedestal. [break][break][break]



In her unconsciousness, her time warping powers start to plague her dreams. A variety of scenarios drift through her consciousness, each one playing out briefly as she’s caught in the SPORE induced stupor: [break][break][break]



[break][break]



ignites into a sea of flames as she burns and a robed Megalopolan into ashes. stares from a distance, horror evident on his face. [break][break][break]



screams as two frozen wings protrude from his back. is frozen and encased in solid ice. is in the same predicament but her body has already been split in half, evident in how her upper body lays next to her still frozen legs. Due to how the ice was cracked there’s no bleeding. [break][break][break]



and stand back to back as they try to combat a never-ending stream of yellow tentacles. , absorbed by a shiny Nihilego, shrinks into the Pokemon’s bulb as her will is overridden by the Ultra Beast. Hidden out of sight, is hanging onto the cliff side for dear life, forgotten as he struggles to prevent falling into the sweeping waters below. [break][break][break]



stands triumphant in Regirock’s chamber. Why? It’s impossible to tell. But as he stands there in his own glory he’s suddenly stabbed by none other than herself. [break][break][break]



Thankfully, her dream is short lived and she will wake up by the end of her next post. But in the split second before she falls into her coma, grabs his statue as well. It has ONE prong along with ONE socket. Sounds like a perfect fit. Something rumbles underneath and the tremors that echo from the machination causes things to change within the temple.[break][break][break]





[break]
have rolled 211 against [break]
!


[break][break]



And when it’s disturbed it punishes the one that unleashed it. A sudden SHEER COLD expels from the open socket and catches in a whiff of misfortune. His entire body is frozen solid sans for his opposite hand. It’s the only source of heat and his fingers can still wriggle in place. He remain conscious despite his condition but moving anything else proves impossible. [break][break][break]

[break][break]


Who’s there? It’s me!” The voice comes back again, louder this time as he can feel his heart struggle to beat. “Looks like you got yourself in a predicament here! Hope you have your creative juices flowing, budday.” [break][break][break]

must roll in his next post. [break][break][break]





ROUTE 2



WATER RISES SLOWLY while the travelers gather their bearings. ’s HEAL PULSE helps stabilize the Gallade while desperately tries to breath life back into it. Their quick concern comes in the reward of the Pokemon breaking out in a gasp for air. [break][break][break]



Together, the trio make their way atop the stairs and onto the only obstacle preventing them from moving forward. While watches their back, a primed FOCUS BLAST causes the metal doors to swing open, slamming against the wall as the next room is revealed. [break][break][break]



It reveals a small chamber that only leads forward. Another set of solid doors prevents their advancement but this time blasting their way through won’t be enough. In the center of the room a small pedestal is raised enough for one person to step onto. A red prison of lights surround the singular pillar with multiple braille letters flickering onto its surface. [break][break][break]

⠕⠝⠑ ⠍⠥⠎⠞ ⠏⠁⠧⠑ ⠞⠓⠑ ⠺⠁⠽ [break]
⠁⠝ ⠑⠁⠎⠽ ⠏⠁⠞⠓ ⠋⠕⠗ ⠎⠕⠍⠑ [break]
⠍⠑⠁⠝⠎ ⠓⠁⠗⠙⠎⠓⠊⠏⠎ ⠋⠕⠗ ⠕⠞⠓⠑⠗⠎
[break][break]


The words scroll at a constant pace. Each revolution takes about a minute. Slightly above the trailing words is a large symbol with a single handprint inside it’s circle. With the way the steps narrow in and with how much space is allocated for the handprint, it becomes obvious that only one person may rise to the occasion. [break][break][break]

[break][break]









ROUTE 0?



A LACK OF AGGRESSION keeps everyone happy. Although the Roggenrola never attacks it continues its front with its constant cries and huffs. As Angelo tries to maneuver around the Pokemon, it will follow him, puffing its round body toward him in a show of vigor and intimidation. [break][break][break]



With a new companion, willing or not, he steps into the next room. This time he’s confronted with a series of levers, switches, and ancient dials. Each one remains scattered across the room with a particular number above each one. Considering how little of the ruins he’s explored so far, the contrast this has to the rest of the temple show just how artificial this structure really is. [break][break][break]



Forward, the path leads deeper into the abyss. It proves impossible to see from this far. He’ll have to leave this room in order to reveal what’s up ahead. From what little he can tell, this path start to incline, suggesting that he’s working his way back up from his earlier fall. [break][break][break]



If you tinker with any contraption, pick a number between 1 - 4. [break][break][break]



If you tinker with all contraptions you cannot leave this room in the same post. [break][break][break]












ROUTE 3



IS NOT BRAVE WITHOUT REASON evident in the way he conducts himself now that he’s in a tight spot. Being a seasoned combatant means that he knows to defend himself now that he’s in a vulnerable position. His arms cover his face from being smashed and help protect him from an easy concussion. It gives him a chance to retaliate when he grabs one of the Megalopolans by the ankles. This time, he lucks out by latching onto the less experienced one and giving the ankl a good twist. [break][break][break]







[break][break]





Unfortunately, he overestimates himself. The ankle gives an audible pop, a clean sprain that causes the Megalopolan to cry out in pain. However, his strength is not great enough to throw the other person off him and toward another. Not from below and with all of their weight coming down on them. Instead, the change in balance and gravity causes the Megalopolan to toppled, crashing on top of him. [break][break][break]





With his hands tied up handling one of his assailants the other Megalopolan is able to land a clean stomp onto his forehead. Since his head is already laid out against the floor the damage is minimal in comparison. He won’t suffer a concussion or brain damage but he does feel dizzy and disoriented. Shortly after, the untouched Megalopolan comes down on him in a bent over squat, bold enough to sink her teeth into him. She’s able to land a clean bite, chewing off a chunk of him in the exchange. [break][break][break]




[break][break]



will suffer an extreme bite. This will not sever the following body part but you will be missing a bite size piece of your flesh. After the raid, this injury can be mostly restored. [break][break][break]





You may pick from the following: [break][break][break]



  • Ear
  • Forearm
  • Ribs

[break][break]








Things turn out better for his Pokemon. His Aegislash is able to maneuver around the Nagandel with its SHADOW SNEAK and land a clean killing blow. Its SACRED SWORD slices the Ultra Beast in half! [break][break][break]





’s WATER PULSE pierces the DRAGON PULSE with ease. Contrary to his prediction, that doesn’t stop the attack. The resounding waves still rock the tunnel but their impact is noticeably less threatening than predicted. The fact the WATER PULSE hits dead center is a nice bonus as well. [break][break][break]





’s Aegislash continues to protect them as it withstands the shockwaves from the DRAGON PULSE. This added layer grants time to HEAL PULSE her wounds, unable to reverse the damage to her arm but at the very least able to quell and stop the pain. Her Blissey’s LIFE DEW compounds onto this, providing a sense of relief as her nerves return to normal. For now, her skin still appears damaged, covered in minor burns. [break][break][break]





The THUNDERBOLT also has an easier time hitting the Nagandel. It arcs to catch the Pokemon as it tries to dart around, catching the remnants of Zac’s WATER PULSE, conducting a more potent shock as the Pokemon falls to the attack. It’s upper body withers, expiring from the rough conditions they’ve preserved well before the battle and it’s newfound wounds. [break][break][break]





With that, both enemy Pokemon have been handled. Unrelated to this, her Aegislash is snatched right back into its Pokeball. A strange magic applies pressure onto the ghost Pokemon and it recoils in pain despite being returned. [break][break][break]





The robed Megalopolan groans as he his wrist flail against his bondage. “Help him,” he calls out helplessly. His cry is urgent, pained in an effort to grab the attention of Kazimir’s companions. [break][break][break]
























ROUTE 1



CHAOS ENSUES AS THE GROUP SPLITS once more. [break][break][break]



remains the furthest ahead due to her choice in skipping the treasure from earlier. Her extra time is a cushion that cements her lead despite having to spend a bit more time in the spike trap than she would have liked. [break][break][break]



This time however the PHANTOM FORCE seems to work without a hitch. She crosses the first gap without issue. The second one too is nothing more than having to wait out the time it takes for her Dragapult to recharge before opening another portal. At this current rate, she only needs to make it across three more to be home free. [break][break][break]



But is not one to be outdone. He remains hot on her heels in a bid to usurp her for first place. The way his Garchomp cuts through everything with its GIGA IMPACT would leave the others envious if they weren’t too busy with their own issues. [break][break][break]



When they come to the pillars his Garchomp overshoots the jump in an attempt to start with the tallest one. They land and the Pokemon has to rest, panting as the GIGA IMPACT drains the Pokemon of its stamina. Unfortunately, the speed and impact of their landing causes the pillar to sway. It tilts too hard and starts to come down, coincidentally right onto the pillar is on. [break][break][break]



and must roll in their next post. [break][break][break]



Further behind, and still have to attend to the spikes around them. His Beeyeehem is unable to TELEPORT itself nor Dahlia from their spot. The rules of the temple are as cemented in stone as the carvings around them. [break][break][break]



A series of tremors rattle above them as the temple changes shape. ’s tampering ends up disabling the spike trap and both of them are able to progress without issue. Despite her injury, Dahlia somehow manages to get ahead and start her attempt to cross the pillars as well. We can only assume Adrian’s concern for the commissioner means he has to keep a watchful eye on her due to her injuries. [break][break][break]



Dahlia’s Dragonite makes its first flight across when ’s pillar starts to collapse on . She’s not in harm’s way but this puts a hamper on her progress. She’ll have to take a long flight forward to breach the gap. There’s an opportunity to assist the others should the need arise. [break][break][break]











[break][break]



's punishment will come at a more opportune time.

Ruins of Regirock
The desert | raid



THEME

    As the static of Blissey's Thunderbolt faded around them, Zac scooped up his Clawitzer and sprinted down the tunnel. 
Between the distance and Aegislash's shield, he hadn't seen much of the battle unfold, but he could put things together. Both Naganadel lay slain on the ground, but the Megalopolans were still alive and kicking. One of them was even bent over, with their mouth all over Kazimir! 
    Filled with protective fury, Zac hurled Clawitzer. The blue shrimp spun like a boomerang as it flew down the tunnel, landing on the sand near the wrestling pair. "Get him off Kaz!" Zac called.
    Clawitzer tried to shake off the spinning and line up a clear shot. WHUMP! WHUMP! They fired a pair of Water Pulses at the fiend masticating Kazimir.

oiHVWhuS +10


  • Saw a Megalopolan 'attacking' Kazimir
  • Threw Clawitzer at the Megalopolans

her consciousness is undone, the protect sputtering out as both she and her pokemon counterpart collapse in a heap. the woman is immediately plagued with the visions of a maddened seer; the vivid imagery accompanied by the increasingly familiar reeks and sounds of war and death. cait is ultimately forced to serve as naught more than a witness to the raw discord, her mind dedicating each scene to memory.  

'no.'

she sought to deny what she saw within her mind's eye.

'the war's over. rocket should be gone - '

but they weren't; they'd taken her - ruined her.

' - those gods-forskaen forces were repelled.' 

yet the beasts which occupied her visions offered evidence of the contrary. and as priam found ice crawling up his flesh, the sound of cait's horrified and anguished scream would fill the ancient cavern to its brim. she curled and rocked herself, her face concealed by her curly mane as she trembled violently. the noise she produced was piercing, the woman reaching to clutch her head as she processed what she had seen.

it had all felt too real. and despite her hands feeling clean - the feel of them when they were slickened with leaking crimson was all too familiar. her past - and perhaps her future - sin coming back to haunt her, the memory made fresh. 

'arceus forgive me,' she thought, eyes squeezing tightly shut as she initially mouthed the plea. 

"
forgive me. forgive me."

one of her pokeballs trembled at her waist, popping out of its notch before it increased to its proper size and a bisharp emerged from its contents. cait's voice grew lower as she clutched her hands together in prayer, the woman's head deeply bowed as she allowed all else to fall away. 

"
pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. adveniat regnum tuum. fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo, et in terra."

her bisharp hovered protectively over the murmuring woman and the slumbering mothim, brimming with open hostility as he responded to the avatar's cry. 

https://veekun.com/dex/media/pokemon/icons/625.png

- has the vision. isn't responding to well because she isn't able to pin down what they were. 

- awakens with a scream. is in a state of mild shock and starts babbling like a bad woman before she begins to pray.

- her bisharp summons themselves, standing protectively over both cait and mothim [ who is presently asleep ].  

- sabotaging

It’s comforting to have by her side, regardless of how short-lived it is. The presence of the dragon tamer confirms one thing: Katherine doesn’t have to worry about someone stupid doing something she could curse them for.

Or, well, so she thought.

The former elite four member miscalculates the force of his pokemon’s jump, resulting in the GIGA IMPACT threatening the fragile balance of the pillars. Mateo’s pillar is the first to succumb to gravity and the trembling earth, but it’s not alone. It seeks to take Katherine’s own pillar down as well.

And if they’re not quick? They might just find out what’s looming for them at the bottom of this pit.

“Mateo, seriously?!” It was time for action, but Katherine is incapable of ordering her Dragapult to move without accusing her so-called ally. “Damn it. Dragapult, quickly! Fly!”

Enhanced by another boost of AGILITY, the ghost-type attempts to levitate in the air as quickly as it can, caring less and less about which of the pillars might be able to withstand their weight and which wouldn’t.

"Just— don't fucking fall and make me come save you, alright?"

cared for this man. For all she knew, that alone made him a valuable asset. And if there's one thing that was certain about is that sacrificing one of Fernando's only friends wouldn't make the cold-hearted man happy.

Regardless of the dragon tamer's status, Kat has to fend for herself first and foremost, "Keep it going, Dragapult. Another portal. We have to keep going."

☆ +10 modifier to my sabotage roll
☆ she's a bit mad but mateo gets a pass since he's cute & friends with Fernando
☆ dragapult uses AGILITY to fly as quickly as possible from the pillar that collapses, and then uses PHANTOM FORCE for the-who-knows-what-time now. they're trying to cover as much distance as possible, hopefully enough to reach the last pillar/end.
☆ warns mateo not to fall so she won't have to save him.

☆ sabotage on (first roll is sabo, second is obstacle!) (first two rolls are both being salac'd. third will be sabotage, fourth will be obstacle).

It’s impossible to ignore the Roggenrola completely, not just because falling heavy footsteps causes the ground beneath his heel to shudder but also in how the pokemon loudly huffs with deep, gravely bravado; reminding Angelo of a toddler's temper tantrum. It’s enough to get his lips curling slightly at the corners, wariness inching back steadily with each sulky cry that boasts no follow-up. This gigantic Roggenrola was all bark and no bite. [break][break]

You’re very scary…” He muses as they continue to walk around the perimeter of the chamber, Cepheus remaining close to his side even though the rock creature maintains distance. Angelo’s throat still feels scratchy from the sand but he still manages to speak in a way that attempts to soothe the Roggenrola’s pride, somehow not sounding completely sarcastic from years of practice comforting his youngest siblings; even if in his head he totally was. Somehow this kind of situation feels familiar, like a furious little sibling demanding you get out of their bedroom. “Don’t get your rocks in a twist, I’m leaving. You don’t need to escort me off the premises.”[break][break]

Angelo leaves. Roggenrola doesn’t. Even when he spots an open passageway that leads to a new chamber, they’re joined by the oversized rock, squishing into the room with them and looming behind his back. Unsure whether the pokemon is just ensuring that he does in fact go away or it’s actually secretly lonely, Angelo fishes in his pockets for a handful of poor-quality pokefood (the best he has to offer) and tosses it on the floor by the Roggenrola’s feet. “Don’t eat it all at once...” It's probably barely a snack for a creature as big as it but hopefully it’ll keep the rock from breathing down his neck, especially while his attention is being drawn elsewhere. [break][break]

Elsewhere being the strange looking contraptions lining the walls. Completely out of place from what little he had seen so far of the ruin, manmade devices sitting innocently but so very curiously – tempting in their contrast to the rest of the room – before him.[break][break]

Blue eyes, dulled a little still from his earlier misadventure, flickers briefly towards the passageway on the other side of the chamber - the way out, he thinks - then back to the rows of switches and levers on the walls. His fingers twitch and like the greed that had guided him into the sand, Angelo falls victim to his thirst once more. This time a hunger for the thrill of adventure that may reside within the unknown of these ancient locks. [break][break]

Just one won’t hurt…” Are his famous last words. Before the satisfying push of a contraption, clicking and grinding, encourages him to pull another. Then another. Until all four have been tinkered by reckless hands.

it was cold and he's frozen in a block of ice, yet his consciousness remains. a single voice that's different from his rings in his mind. taunts were easily deflected usually, but priam finds this case much more sinister than the usual suspects.

'i'm not dying! i'm not dying!'

he wonders if his words would resonate with the other's, but priam's mindset is clear. he's not allowing himself to fall this easily after making it this far in life.

with his free hand, he deftly attempts to take out a pokeball with some childish sticker on it. the dragonite is recalled as he juggles for the marked pokeball, until numbness brought by the cold interferes with his grip. the pokeball slips from his fingers, but not before it releases his alakazam.

'teleport me out!'

although uncertain of whether the alakazam shares the same abilities as his espeon to know what he's planning, he hangs on the hope that telepathy is an available resource for the psychic-type.

despite the lack of empathy, the shadow pokemon shows its loyalty. it hangs on to the boy's hand and tries to teleport him out of the ice. when it doesn't work, he resorts to force, blasting the ice with focus blast.

  • route 4
  • priam uses alakazam to teleport him out of the ice
  • when it doesn't work, alakazam destroys the ice with focus blast

He turns to , intent on asking after her own statue, only to see her collapse. A burst of cold alerts him to 's predicament; the younger Rocket is frozen solid. Alarmed, Gavin stumbles back from the pedestal with the figurine still clutched tight in his hand.[break][break]

When given a choice between Rocket and League, he will always look out for his own.[break][break]

"Priam!" Gavin rushes up to the block of ice that encases him. "Fuck. I'm going to try and get you out, 'kay?"[break][break]

He signals to Stakataka, still hovering nearby. The cubes rearrange themselves into a shape more reminiscent of a hammer. "Gently!" Gavin insists, for the ice does not seem so thick as to shield Priam from a heavy blow. As the shadow Alakazam is released, Gavin amends to his Ultra Beast. "Hold. Only if he's still stuck. Be careful."[break][break]

Should Priam's Alakazam be unable to break him free of the ice, the Stakataka would use its IRON HEAD to tap against the encasing ice, attempting to PROTECT Priam himself from the blow.[break][break]

Immediately switches focus when Priam gets frozen. Stakataka remains on standby to use a combination of IRON HEAD + PROTECT to intervene only if Alakazam is unable to break it.

The stomping had only gotten worse as his head was exposed enough for the boot of one of them to fins its target. Kazimir could swear he was seeing miniors flying around now until a new pain snapped him back to his senses as the warmness of blood trickling down his arm as he feels it being bitten into by one of the megalopolans is a pain that is much worse than the stomping. a howl of pain escapes his lips as he aimed a fist at the head of the cannibal and kept slamming his fist into their head in anger when he remembered he wasn't alone. "oath! get this guy off of me!"
[break][break]
as his aegislash was busy shaking off the blood of the beast it just killed it perked up at the sound of its trainer's voice and speedily floated over to his injured trainer and used its shadow sneak once again to restrain the cannibal and throw it off of his trainer to rest itself over his body and expand its king's shield as it stance changed to create a barrier over kazimir to protect him from further harm while wrapping its cloth arms over his injury to stop the bleeding. "thanks buddy, saved my ass again." he sighed in relief as he did his best to stand up and put himself between the rest of the carnaged and the robbed prisoner.

[attr="class","light"]well that went better than expected. "sorry," he shouted with a quick response. he'd return garchomp without warning and would come to jump upon the pillar had just left. simultaneously, he'd call out for LUCARIO this time. "carry me and copy her!" as mateo would hop upon lucario's back, they would follow 's dragapult; mimicking their phantom force just the same.

note: sabotaging

- swaps garchomp out for lucario.
- lucario carries mateo on back.
- lucario uses copycat in order to use phantom force and match katherine's rhythm.

- used 2 salac berries; third is for sabotage and fourth is for obstacle.

At the site of Wyn coughing up the water and being able to breathe again relief washed over the young ranger. He didn’t even care that his boss dismissed his question as Skyler opened up the door ahead of them. For now Razz just straggled behind the two as he was carrying Wyn with him. Sure he could have just returned him to his pokeball to rest but the Ranger rather see with his own two eyes that the sword pokemon was okay before he returned him. [break][break]

Razz took in with some awe at the chamber they entered, it was always fascinating the type of technology ruins like these seemed to have. The odd glowing from the pedestal, a door which couldn’t just be broken by first glance. “Is that…?” Razz questions as he narrows his eyes at the dots drifting across the surface of the pedestal. “That’s brail, if you give me a few minutes I can probably translate,” Razz offers, having studied it a bit when he first lost his eye. That fear of having it so easily lost it made him wonder what could happen if he lost the other. So he studied it with that fear in mind. He’s gotten over it since then and hasn’t practiced so he was a bit rusty.[break][break]

With that intention in mind he does move to place Wyn up against the wall, “Watch him please?” he asks before moving toward the light. Making sure not to step on the pedestal itself as he removes his phone from its water proof pouch just to take notes. Razz writes down what he could read right away and leaves blank what he couldn’t remember. “O-?-e m-u-s-?…” he trails off as he continues to translate before having the following: [break][break]

o-e mus- -ave -he -ay [break]
a- easy -a-h fo- some [break]
mea-s ha-dshi-s fo- o-he-s
[break]

Great now to play Wheel of Fortune, he grumbles as he thinks for a moment filling in obvious words like ‘the’ and ‘for’ which opened up other words to be translated. “One must pave the… bay? way?” that last word he was making a guess obviously not sure, “An easy path for some, means hardship for others?” Razz continues before looking back to the others now mentally warn. “I have no clue what that means, but by the looks of things unless we open this we can’t continue?” he guesses as he moves back to Wyn as he waits for the others. Right now he’d rather play it safe with Wyn in his current condition.

Shock turns to horror as she watches, through the two Naganadel that go down, as Kazimir is assaulted and now bitten by the Megaloplans on top of him. The heal pulse against her skin calms the pain of her burn, but she's already pushing away from Zac's assistance to try and help. Thankfully, Zac has the same idea.[break][break]

Together the two men work at removing the Megalopolans off of the Pokkenger. Whether or not it is successful is entirely dependent on fate, but the woman whistles for Blissey. In the confusion, she notes that her Aegislash has returned to his pokeball, warm at her hip. [break][break]

"Kazimir! You're going to get yourself killed, will you be careful?"[break][break]

There is anger in her voice, genuine fear and rage bubbling at her surface. Blissey splashes a heal pulse against the bleeding bite against the man's forearm in the hopes it might stop or slow the bleeding.[break][break]

"Immobilize them, Blissey!"[break][break]

Stormy sets her sights on the nearest Megalopolan, and if they happen to be together, even better. Blissey blasts a shot of ice beam at one (or both) of the blue-skinned freaks in the hopes she might root them to the ground and prevent them from dealing out further harm. Without their Pokemon, they were defenseless.. mostly.[break][break]

 SILENCE FALLS. whether by the machinations of his beheeyem's psychic terrain or some unknown benefactor (), they are able to avail themselves of the spike traps. dahlia is able to overtake him, giving him an opportunity to check her aura discreetly. and for his efforts, they've discovered that teleporting doesn't work here. which was passing strange... but on the topic of the commissioner. "glad you're alright..."

good... for a second I was worried she'd—though her aura hadn't waned or soured, she muttered warnings of water below, which sent a shiver down his spine. i really don't want to drown in here. perhaps the next time he'd leave her to her destiny rather than risk his hide again.

before they completely catch up to the vanguard, echoes cascade along their corridor from further ahead, where mateo has collapsed a pillar using giga impact. it causes some sense of urgency now that they're actively dismantling the ruins in their haste, so they hurry towards the room of pillars. so... we're playing lethal hopscotch, i guess?

this room wasn't any better than the last.

"hrmm... i think i'd like the lights back on," he grumbles, withdrawing his beheeyem and re-releasing his starmie. "delta, shine your spotlight around. let's see this place..." adrian and dahlia may be able to get some insights into the room's purpose or machinations with the improved visibility, or they'd come up empty handed. regardless, better to be thorough while the path ahead was rendered perilous. haste makes waste.

"delta, aim your spotlight along the path, alright? keep it about... one step ahead of me, say?" adrian would want at least a goal in sight when he made those leaps of faith across the schism. dahlia still had her dragonite to escort her, so he kept up the rear.

"use flip turn when you need to catch up, delta." he wouldn't have made it very far by now, being the cautious sort particularly after how quickly they were losing people. but after the adventours, this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was too tempting. for someone like him it was an easy choice, considering he had certain... assurances.

The ancient doors groan under Skyler's assault, the Focus Blast making pressure until rusty hinges hiss and the way before them stands open. The sailor makes sure to help Razz with his Gallade; despite not having been able to help them earlier, the psychic type had, out of all of them, been the one to pay the highest cost for the attempt.

A trickle of unease settles in the back of Skyler's head as she thinks about the strange happenings in these ruins. She battles the sudden itch to clutch at her beaded necklace.

The next chamber doesn't help any with the sailor's superstitions. 

There is another door ahead of them, but it doesn't seem as if it will be opened as easily as the first one. At the center of the room stands a pillar and a pedestal of sorts, strange symbols flickering across the stone surface, pattern-like.

When asks her to watch over Gallade, Skyler is quick to agree, silver eyes flashing as the young man starts to decipher the meaning behind - was it braille? Huh. 

"Sounds ominous," replies the sailor, taking a few steps into the chamber as Razz comes back to watch over Wyn. "Does that mean we'll get stuck somewhere? Or that we have to fight each other? I'm not fighting either of you." The words leave her mouth distractedly. The staccato of her steps nearly echoes in the chamber as the sailor explores. If her companions speak, their words are lost amid a voracious curiosity and a deep-seated urge to explore further. 

Unbidden, a silvery gaze falls on the handprint shaped sigil that lies above the braille. Skyler does her best to move her eyes away, to study the other elements in the room or to engage in conversation with and , but... She keeps coming back to the handprint. Time and time again.

Before the sailor's even aware of it, her feet have taken her to the steps that lead up to the pedestal. Involuntarily, a sense of wonder replaces her previous nervousness. A glance behind her confirms that her two companions are some distance away, which makes it easier when she recalls her Slowbro to make way for a Steelix, its steely length proving an effective barrier between herself and the other two.

Or the other two and whatever may happen when she touches the handprint. 

"Steelix, Protect."

The barrier has just settled into place when Skyler steps forward and puts her own hand over the handprint, no hesitation whatsoever in her gesture.

Man, she'd feel really stupid if nothing happened.

tl:dr
- skyler is a superstitious sailor, but also too curious for her own good
- holds onto wyn the gallade as razz translates the braille
- explores the chamber they're in, but her eyes always drift back to the handprint
- steps up to the pedestal, recalls slowbro and releases steelix between herself and the other two
- commands steelix to use protect in an attempt to shield or in case anything goes wrong
- touches the handprint 
- sabotaging  ♥️

Now that the doors were open, he looked over for a few moments—and had to squint as the momentary darkness gave way to something that screamed ‘ominous’.

“Damn,” was all he could say, knocking exactly once on the closest part of the Metagross he could reach. Following the other two into the chamber, he took up the rearguard, keeping his eyes and ears peeled as much as possible—just in case something bad went down.

That Teleporting attempt from earlier kept bothering him; and he wasn’t sure if using Agility or Telekinesis was going to help matters should anything go haywire. While Razz was busy with translating the strange ‘writing’ (if Lars could consider that writing) he kept his attention focused on the center of the room, where a platform led up—

Narrowing to a point that only one person could climb.

Somehow, he had a bad feeling about the entire place…

Keeping an eye on the Gallade as Razz translated, he couldn’t help but look over to where Skyler was also fidgeting around the area. Once Razz had finished translating, he was about to nod at the younger Ranger’s interpretation of the message when a movement caught his eye.

“I fucking hope that doesn’t happen,” he followed after Skyler’s words, before noticing that the already-crowded area got even more tight as she swapped out her companion for a Steelix—just in case.

Yes, just in case.

“Ro… get ready,” was all he said, an edge in his voice before he realized a split-second later what Skyler was about to—

“Skyler, what the hell?!” he called out from where he stood near Razz. Try as he might to see over where the Steelix was blocking the path, this looked like either a trap… or a fucking trap, all things considered.

“Ro. Ready that,” he went on. Against his better judgment—

The Metagross prepared a Telekinetic maneuver just in case things went south.



• Okay shit we in another chamber now
• Lars knows next to no Braille, lets Razz do his thing and translates
• Keeps an eye on the Gallade and is squinting suspiciously at everything else in the chamber
Because who knows if the entire place is fucking rigged
• Looks over at Skyler, who is also fidgety for some reason
• Doesn’t like the look of the place
• Actually, doesn’t like the entire place at all
That’s fucking ominous
• Watches as Skyler summons her Steelix
• Against his better judgment, hoping nothing bad happens—
• Ro the Metagross prepares a Telekinesis
dun dun da
• Sabotaging

 "i am, i am. thank you." despite the TELEPORTATION mysterious failure, dahlia thanks through clenched teeth.

pain courses through her limb like shifting tectonic plates before spilling through the smallest gaps in between her teeth. strained as her voice is, she manages to sound gentle within the cacophany of the temple.

the lights from 's starmie scatter across the walls of the ruins. her dragonite's rotund face scrunches together as the pillar below begins to crumble. it slows its flight and although it is much too late for proper warning, dahlia shouts anyway:

"look out!"

the vision of disappearing under the sands continues to find its way into every other thought like the grains in her shoes.

TL;DR
- dragonite continues more carefully after she thanks adrian + warns katherine as the pillar crumbles (despite it being too late)
