[PTA, IC]The Spinward Islands II: The Twisted Truth

[passinglurker]

Old IC
We join our hero's in the bowels of a strange temple fighting stranger enemies.

Nessa
After recalling Jade you easily pickup the the pooch with your mind, and move him where you want it to be.

The Mons
As he is bit Sergio yelps in pain and passes out from the shock as blood flows from the red haired ladies teeth "mmm so tasty and this time I will finish the job" she reaches for throwing stars visiable on her belt.

Delphi unleashes a blast of elemental aquadic energy knocking out the Imposter and her bug. As she collapses her link with Nessa is broken and she reverts to her true form a smaller than Nessa, pale, black haired girl. its hard to tell if the mean pooch is still conscious.

Obsidia bites childish one flinching him

The pooch turns out to still be alive and snaps at Delphi with its jaws (33 damage to Delphi before weakness and Def, yes you can use Teleport to evade this, but that will consume your command action for the next round)

Zephyr hits the Cubone with a stream of bubbles knocking it out.

Blooma's poison don't seem to have an effect.

round 4! faster than dex 10 and teleporting space cores go first

"Like hell you will." Rebecca said tapping the pokeball that held Sergio to recall Sergio. As Marina was coming out the pokeball, Rebecca lifted the rifle and pointed it at the crazy lady that had dropped Serigo and pulled the trigger hoping to finish off the lady.

If the lady is down from the rifle, I'd like to request my Amorphous coup-de-grace maneuver I told you about before. If you forget I'll PM it to you because I really want to see how you describe it on the fluff post >:)

Lucius nods as the Cubone falls, and turns his attention to its trainer. "Zephyr, let's take this guy down... nail him with your Hidden Power!" He then swings the hammer forward, the white glow flooding his eyes again as wind swirls around the weapon, a blade launching itself at the Cubone's trainer.

[MintyNinja]

The crustacean pokemon triggers a warning bell in Zack's head, I bet that thing's water typed. Gotta get its attention before it hits Obsidia. With his Boomerang returned to his hand he scans the crustacean with his other. Then with a forward step and flick of the wrist he launches the boomerang at it. "Come and get me, you pint sized appetizer!" Obsidia takes her cue from Zack and Bites at the new pokemon as well.

[passinglurker]

Nessa
Delphi narrowly manages to portal himself away from the biting dog unharmed

Lucius
You put weight on your bruised leg which breaks your concentration and causes your air blade to dissipate before it reaches its target.

Rebecca
As you shoot she springs back causing the bullets to catch her in the gut instead of the face. she then goes unconscious from blood loss and pain.

Zack
You miss and your violence and hollering is some how interpreted by this mon as a sign of friendship which should be no surprise considering his trainer.

Everyone
The only one that isn't flinched, KO'd, or frozen releases a one footed bird pokemon and headbutts Zephyr flinching him. (19 damage before def)

[planswalker]

Feeling a little snitty and not sure how long he's gonna stay frozen like that, Lea will have Blooma try to coat B5 in stun spores.

"Come on, blooma! This is just like in practice, except real!" Lea says, trying to be encouraging.

[CosmicOccurence]

Good dodge Delphi! Prepare for the next attack.

Meanwhile, she held the pooch in place with her mind. It wouldn't be attacking anyone one her watch.

[passinglurker]

The Mon
Delphi goes "SPACE! YEEHAAAAA!"

The masochistic crab ID'd as Krabby derps around without orders and covers its self in mud(uses mud sport on self) its not clear where it got the mud from. Obsidia then bites it which makes it mad.

The pooch kicks its legs in mid air as it makes a hopeless attempt to reach the ground

Marina moves to finish off one of he KO'd enemies. She becomes as amorphous as water and enters the red haired woman's lungs filling them to the point of bursting the woman gurgles and spasms as she begins to suffocate. Steven makes a meep like noise at the gruesome scene.

The bird that the headbutting trainer called out flutters over to Q13 and lets out an ear drum busting, brain throbbing, gut turning, screech. (rolled 18 for AC, everyone that hits in a 5 meter burst of this mon take 35 damage before Sdef and typing)

Blooma stuns her target.

faster than dex 10 go!

[MintyNinja]

Damn, that Krabby is taking the hits too well. Obsidia's in serious danger... I don't have any other choice, she'll have to forgive me... With slight reluctance, Zack returns his black charmander and sends out Claw off to the side. "Claw, going to need you at your best. This won't be easy!" With a second of thought, Zack remembers Steven. "Hey, Steven, Bite that loudmouthed bird! I can feel it's voice from here!"

Steven Bites and Flinches the Hoothoot. 28 Damage.

"Marina, cancel that, we still need assistance." Rebecca yells as she tries to get her ears to stop ringing, "Shut that thing up."

Lucius stumbles back and pulls out another Pokeball as he fights to keep from blacking out. He fumbles with his Pokedex to scan the bird as he mutters, "Gah... like being stabbed in the eye... Voltaire, light this damn thing up! Thundershock!" The last is shouted as he releases Voltaire, the Swablu hovering between Lucius and the other bird and giving an angry cry as electricity crackles along its wings.

Lucius moves back to N19. Releasing Voltaire at N18. Thundershock against Ho rolled in OOC - AC 9, 24 Electric Special Damage..

The childish one punts the crab towards you (uses helping hand)

Lucius
Zephyr can't understand you over the gurgling noise of you drinking.

Then the Headbutting train runs up and jabs Zypher (Poison Jab 31 damage)

Rebecca
you strike the bird with a few rounds.

[CosmicOccurence]

Nessa quickly downs an enriched water to counteract the effects of the piercing noise that had made her eardrums bleed.

[planswalker]

Barely standing after that blow, Lea will stumble back to P5.

Blooma, seeing Mama take a nasty hit, will move to R7 so as to interpose herself between danger and Mama. She will aim a stun spore at R13, hoping to stop that bad noisy bird.

The Mons
Steven shouts "you don't have to tell me twice!" as he bites the bird flinching it

As the crab sails through the air it sprays down Zack with a high pressure stream of bubbles (51 damage before reductions)

The pooch free from telekinesis because Nessa is distracted downing a drink retaliates against Rebecca for downing its trainer and runs up to bite her (31 damage before reductions)

Voltair has summoning sickness and appears to be concentrating which is causing little bolts to shoot out from his wings.

Lucius grimaces and pulls out a can of restorative-infused soda pop, calling out to Voltaire before he drinks it. "Nail that crab with a Thundershock!" He quickly downs the can of soda before tossing the empty vessel aside, and recalls Zephyr as the medical beverage does its work.

Spoiler

Lucius uses Super Soda Pop. Voltaire moves to M20 and uses Thundershock on Krabby. Using that one feat to make it work.

Lucius

Everyone
the headbutter calls out a floating cratered purple sphere.

the leader seems to be less frozen judging by his allergic muscle seizing spasms from bloom'a spores.

Seeing her quarry twitch, Lea will have Blooma move to V6 and throw some poisonous powder on B5. This is one woman it's best not to insult when social norms allow her to hurt you.

Nessa curses as the man begins to move. Once again she exerts her will on the man, attempting to freeze him in place so he was unable to join the battle.

[MintyNinja]

Seeing the Krabby fall brings a smile to his face. Then it gets fried by Voltaire and the smile is replaced with slight concern. Deciding that it's not his problem, Zack instead throws his boomerang at the trainer again. Following his Trainer's example, Claw once again uses Quick Attack. This time targeting the trainer.

More lucid thanks to the healing properties in the soda, Lucius sees the purple Pokemon coming and calls out, "Voltaire!" The Swablu, with a brief glance, quickly darts around Lucius's side to take the blow meant for him. Raising his hammer, Lucius focuses once more, wind swirling around the weapon as he backs away. He swings the hammer to release a slicing blade of wind at the Pokemon before scanning it and ordering, "Voltaire, Thundershock it."

Voltaire succeeds at intercepting the Koffing's attack, moving to N20 in the process. Lucius moves to I19, then attacks the Koffing with Air Cutter. Voltaire will use Thundershock on his turn.

Zack
Your aim slips and you boomerang clatters against the floor just to the right of your target. Claw on the other hand hits him bellow the belt causing him to collapse.

Lucius
The mon goes down with one hit. "well it was fun while it lasted" says the Headbutter as she throws down a black object and disappears in a cloud of black smoke. when you see her next she is some how 15 meters further from where she was and laughing hysterically as she runs away.

slow people go!

Lea will have Blooma close the distance to B5 for good measure and add a little injury to the insult with a tackle from a puffball.

Nessa glances at the fleeing figure and decides not to pursue - she was approaching her limit, and didn't want to push too hard. Instead she ran up to the man and looked for where he kept his pokeballs, weapons, and gear. If he unfroze, she'd rather he be unarmed.

you said your not pursing so your more or less out of the fight and I don't care how far you move with in reason as long as your not pursing

Looking under the cloak you see another black gi like what the red haired woman was wearing which he seems to be carrying all his stuff in. Assuming he doesn't have anything strapped to his person under the gi it would be faster just to take the whole gi than to feel around and empty all the inside pockets.

Also you can tell from this close his Cloak clasp has an inscription of a stylized letter E on it.

The mons
Voltair zapps the KO'd koffing for good measure

Exploiting the opening Nessa made opening his cloak Blooma tackles the man below the belt for maximum pain.

faster people go!

[MintyNinja]

Zack grins as he sees his opponent fall, but before he can enjoy it too much he notices the other man cut and run. "Don't let him escape, Claw. Blow him over!" Without stopping to grab his boomerang, he bolts towards the fleeing opponent. With an outstretched arm he is just able to jab them with a poisonous attack.

Lucius watches the trainer flee, and says, "Voltaire, don't let him get away! Thundershock him!" Looking to the others, he says, "Lea, can you try and get Rebecca and Glen back on their feet? Nessa and I can work on securing these idiots..." He then makes his way over to the nearest of the fallen trainers, searching him for any items - particularly Pokeballs. He will recall any of the trainer's unconscious Pokemon, before looking to see if he can somehow cut or rip the cloak up into strips long enough to tie the trainer's arms and legs securely.

Spoiler

Voltaire is moving to O26, and using Thundershock on B4.

Zack
you hit her and she stumbles a few more steps, trips, skids to her knees, and says huffing and puffing "huff ok hero you win... huff huff I'm all out of tricks and I know when I'm beat" from where she is on the ground she turns towards you and raises her hands to surrender. "well don't just stand there "disarm" me already" she chuckles evilly to herself "I can think of a few guys back home who would kill to be in your shoes right now"

Lucius
After some pulling and trying you find that the cloak is of the heavy weather variety its can't be torn with bare hands.

As for looting the body... If you want to be polite its a junk room check to find something specific in one round. If not you can just take his uniform and shake all the stuff out to find everything he has got in one round, or sifting through his baggy gi to find everything is going to take a bit with finds coming next round.

slow people go!

[CosmicOccurence]

Nessa rips the GI off the frozen man and, with Lancelot's help, telekinetically unhooks the cape and uses it to secure the mans hands and feet, using some of the leftover fabric to gag him. Then, she unceremoniously searches him for any objects on his body or in his pockets.
