[attr="class","ihead"]THOSE WHO ESCAPE
[break][break]
SEVERAL MAKE THEIR ESCAPE. in midst the frenzy,
cadis von klaussner's gallade cuts him loose, the tentacle spewing a viscous black ichor instead of blood. without
siobhan burke's help,
AYAME FUJIWARA is able to flee as well, though the gesture is most likely appreciated. the
THUNDER WAVE allows to free herself and her two pokemon. the electrical current paralyzes a small portion of the tentacles, the wriggling mass too expansive to free everyone else. the tentacles around @altmight's body loosen... and despite his surrender,
AYAME FUJIWARA's intervention allows him to escape as well.[break][break]
[break][break]
just barely,
jayde cross's nidoking is able to
THRASH his owner out of the tentacle's grasp. @valyx's greninja attempts to save him, but he will notice that the
NIGHT SLASH is
NOT VERY EFFECTIVE. before @valyx succumbs to his fate,
CHANCELOR MCQUEEN's dusknoir's
GRAVITY allows the tentacles to be shed.[break][break]
evan fader attempts to move forth, using the psychic platforms of his musharna. however, one tentacle coils around his leg before attempting to drag him back on to the ground. thankfully,
illeana reyes's ninetales fiery intervention burns the baleful appendage off before the bartender falls to his doom alongside his mimikyu.[break][break]
after some struggle,
Emma Wolfe and
Natsuki Ryuunosuke free themselves as well, able to escape the nightmare's greedy grip. a
PSYCHO CUT is
DOES NOT AFFECT THE TENTACLES; however, @n0ble assists
Laurence Anderson with his feraligatr, allowing the ranger to free himself with an apt teleport.[break][break]
[break][break]
Noelle Lane, with @bryony's help, escapes. her typhlosion's
INFERNO ignites fires that begin to travel across the tentacles, the acrid smell of burnt flesh smothers the air alongside putrid smoke. it causes the lungs to choke. the eyes to water. the tentacles squeak and shriek, wriggling in terrible shapes.[break][break]
@bryony will be able to see that her altaria's
MOONBLAST is
SUPER EFFECTIVE![break][break][break][break]
[attr="class","ihead"]THOSE WHO MUST MAKE A CHOICE
[break][break]
despite
persephone amavi's extra assistance, her chandelure finds that
Blake Wright's predicament is dire. too many tentacles have latched around his and his sableye's body. with her chandelure's help, he must choose:[break][break][break]
[break][break]
WILL HE FREE HIMSELF OR[break]
WILL HE SAVE HIS SABLEYE AND LOSE A LIMB TO THE TENTACLES?
[break][break]
the recently anointed avatar,
Balder Schwartz, must also face a difficult decision. the solgaleo attempts to fight the thirsting tentacles, but the realm seems to be focusing most of its energies on the lion. with a mass of tentacles all around its metal body,
FERNANDO SILPH's
MOONBLAST is unable to help the lion effectively. he must choose:[break][break][break][break]
[break][break]
WILL HE FREE HIMSELF OR[break]
WILL HE SAVE HIS SOLGALEO AND LOSE A LIMB TO THE TENTACLES?
[break][break]
likewise,
Thomas Benoit faces a dilemma as well. his galvantula releases a valiant assault on the cyclops ahead, but the tentacles coil around its arachnid-legs like chains.
Bailey Cooper's attempts to subdue the tentacles with find little purchase. the tentacles begin to pull as the hydreigon attempts to rescue them both.[break][break][break][break]
[break][break]
WILL HE FREE HIMSELF OR[break]
WILL HE SAVE HIS GALVANTULA AND LOSE A LIMB TO THE TENTACLES?
[break][break]
[attr="class","ihead"]THOSE WHO ATTACK THE CYCLOPS
[break][break]
[break][break]
THERE ARE THOSE WHO FACE THE SINGLE-EYED PILLAR. with a flurry of her venusaur's leaves,
cait alfric joins
FERNANDO SILPH as he advances forth, ahead of the flames and smoke.[break][break]
leading the charge,
kyle lopez rides on his manectric, traveling alongside
Morgan Drake's dragonite's
HYPER BEAM. his manectric unleashes a
CHARGE BEAM of its own, watching it course through the air in a concentrated spear. the attacks join together, forming a singular beam which strikes the eye of the cyclops, their collision coinciding with the impact of
Thomas Benoit's galvantula's
THUNDER and
Blaine Jones's raichu's
ELECTRO BALL. his noctowl's
AIR SLASH is lost in the mix.[break][break]
[break][break]
a fantastic explosion billows forth, causing the trees to creak. some are uprooted, their fragile constitutions made more for casting ominous shadows. as the smoke clears, everyone can see that the pillar has deflated. like a sad balloon, the pillar's fleshy form heaves like a fading heart. its eye is crushed. perhaps, now,
illeana reyes surmises, they can sneak past, for the tentacles have become dormant.[break][break]
the sound of groans becomes louder. heavy footsteps and snapping twigs come from all directions. ahead, the path winds toward a gothic castle at the top of a hill.[break][break][break]
