Inside the Half-Built Temple

With a cryptic warning from Terra, Nate quickly brings up a shimmering barrier around himself and the other two trainers.

Nate used Light Screen on the Trainers! (-15 Energy)
Nate's Light Screen weakened incoming Special Attacks for Terra, Nate, and Auric! (6 Actions)

Abnormality literally leapt into action, trying to bring down her foot on the Furret.

Abnormality used High Jump Kick on Furret! (-7 Energy)
Hit: 06465<09000=HIT
Crit: 05714<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (13+3+10.5-4.5)*1.5=33 Damage

With a sickening crack, the Blaziken makes contact with the Furret, before leaping onto the ground as her opponent retaliates.

Furret used Aqua Tail on Abnormality!
Crit: 01099<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (9+6-4.5)*1.5-2=13.75 Damage

As the Furret regains its stance, Serenity dives in front of Sterling as they just continue to float there...

Vision said:
Dust goes flying everywhere as the explosion of the meteorite’s impact strikes Sterling's mind. For a minute, people stand in silence around the ruins of the temple being built, before a couple of reporters cough.

At the edge of the crater where the temple once stood, the owner of the temple, covered in dirt falls to his knees as the Chatot from before lands in a nearby tree.

A minute more passes before the priest's tear-streaked face turns skyward, his arms reaching upwards in grief. His mouth opens to give a shout of despair...

"WHY, ARCEUS?!? WWWHHHYYY???!!!???"

Serenity swings her wings as she sends another solid blade of air at the Furret on whose home they were intruding...

Serenity used Air Slash on Furret! (-5 Energy)
Hit: 09989<09500=MISS

The solified air flies to the side of the Furret, chipping a piece of stone off of the statue.

Auric decides to turn towards the Sentrets that had chased after Nate into the Temple. He swings his sword around, pushing his muscles to intimidate them.

Auric used Swords Dance! (-7 Energy)
Auric's attack sharply rose! (+2 Attack)
Sentret group is having second thoughts! (-1 Special Attack)

Terra, in the meantime, points her blade at the Furret, trying to get a better grasp of what they were fighting...

"Navi, the Shadow Furret. Previously killing a trainer before being taken in by another, the second trainer was wounded in one of the Furret's fits of shadow power. After escaping, the Furret made its way here. It might be the father of a few Sentrets in the area, as unlikely as it may be."

And as the echoes of the words fade, the water in the pools move, all of it flowing upwards on the floor and out of the holes, gathering in front of the Sentret...

...which is followed by a large roar and a wave barreling down on those in the temple!

Wild Sentrets synchronized Surf! (-7 Energy Each)

Abnormality Crit: (9.75-4.5)*1.5=7.875 Damage
Abnormality Total: 29.375+7.875=37.25 Damage Total (51 Total)

The large wave crashes across the room, soaking everything even further than before.

Well, at least you now know why everything in the area was wet to begin with... at least the wave did less damage than anticipated.

Furret is hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 82.5 Total)

Nate, thinking that the continued attacks might severely weaken him in the near future, decides to give a prayer to the sky before anyone can act… sending a faint streak of light across the blue sky…

Nate used Wish! (-20 Energy)
A wish was made! (23 HP Wish Incoming)

Despite Abnormality’s speed, she calms down, recovering a little energy…

Abnormality chilled! (+12 Energy)

Still hurting from the last large hit Abnormality gave him, the Furret charges at the Blaziken, bringing its body down on her.

Furret used Body Slam on Abnormality!
Crit: 04398<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (9+3+6-4.5)-2=11.5 Damage (62 Total)
Effect: 09404<03000=No paralysis

The Furret leaps off, dimly noticing the damage building on the Blaziken, as Sterling finally gets his act together. Seeing Nate wounded, the large insect sends a pulse of healing energy towards him, restoring his vitality.

Sterling used Healing Pulse on Nate! (-13 Energy)
Nate’s health was restored! (+20 Health, +14 Total)

The healing goes without a move from the Sentrets. It could be they didn’t notice, or didn’t care. Whatever the reason, their last attack requires a short rest before the water returns to the deep holes in the floor of the temple. This allows Serenity a chance to strike at the Furret.

Serenity used Aura Sphere on Furret! (-6 Energy)
Crit: 02108<01875=No Crit
Damage: (8+7.5-3)*1.5=18.75 Damage (101.25 Total)

Auric and Terra decide it is time to act, bringing their feet and blade respectively onto the Furret!

Crits: 00869, 02375<00625=No Crits
Damage: (4.5+4.5+3+7.5-4.5)*1.5+4=26.5 Damage (127.75 Total)

Terra used Psycho Cut on Furret! (-4 Energy)
Crit: 06799<01250=Normal
Damage: (7+3+4.5-4.5)=10 Damage (133.75 Total)

As the pair retreat to a safe standing point again, there is another rumble as the water that had gathered back into the holes shifts back in front of the Sentrets and then barrels down on the adventurers again!

Wild Sentrets synchronized Surf! (-11 Energy Each)

Abnormality Normal: (9.75-4.5)*1.5-2=5.875 Damage
Abnormality Total: (5.875*6)=35.25 Damage (97.25 Total)

The large wave subsides, leaving the trainers in much better shape than their Pokémon. Abnormality is on the edge of collapse, and Serenity and Sterling have both suffered a large number of small wounds from the waves.

Though, on the bright side, the Furret also has taken a severe beating… even if the Sentrets have regained their courage from Auric’s show, allowing them to ignore future attempts…

Furret is hurt by poison! (-2 Health, 168.25 Total Damage)
Abnormality’s Speed sharply rose! (+2 Speed, -2 Energy)
Wild Sentret pack’s Special Attack returned to normal! (+1 Special Attack)
Auric’s Attack fell! (-1 Attack)

Can they save Abnormality from fainting? Or will a sacrifice have to be made?

*Soaked from head to toe* "Oh...that's what you meant."

"You should've pointed me at him to begin with."

"Yes but you didn't even mention the whole synchro Surf thing!"

"I thought that was obvious." :)

"No...no it isn't...anyway, I think I have an idea. Serene Grace don't fail me now!"

Serenity (Togekiss): Thunder Wave (Furret)~Air Slash (Furret)
Terra: Cross Poison (Furret)~Psycho Cut (Furret)

"Oh and Nate, I'd recommend having Blaziken Protect first, then go all out with like Overheat or something. Auric, you can probably just attack, though if you have any ideas for staving off another tsunami I'm all ears!"

Nate: Detect~Reflect

Blaziken: Endure~Blast Burn Furret

Eternal Drifter · Jun 18, 2014

Inside the Half-Built Temple

Glancing around quickly, Nate decides that he might have a chance to avoid the tsunami if he prepares for it. So doing, he quickly turns his attentions to the Sentrets, before eyeing them to detect when the next wave will come.

Nate used Detect! (-6 Energy)
Nate watched for enemy attacks!

Sensing her doom at hand, Abnormality pumps adrenaline into her body, bracing for impact from the waves that struck her before.

Abnormality used Endure! (-15 Energy)
Abnormality braced herself!

The next to act is the all too familiar Furret, which continues to focus its attention on the weakened Blaziken. It brings a paw over to the being, then slashes with a surprisingly strong claw.

Furret used Slash on Abnormality!
Crit: 04102<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3+6-4.5)-2=9.5 Damage
ABNORMALITY ENDURED THE HIT!

Abnormality barely hangs onto consciousness, scenes flashing before its eyes as it tries to focus on the present. Despite the blow, the fiery bird remains standing, no matter how its body protests.

Meanwhile, Sterling decides that if they’re going to get wet, they might as well empower the sun to dry off quicker. A quick dance in place to gather energy, and the insect of illusion sends an orange orb of light it created into the sky through the hole in the roof.

Sterling used Sunny Day! (-10 Energy)
The sunlight turned harsh! (4 Rounds)

The Furret is bathed in a pillar of sunlight, even as it turns its blank look away from Abnormality, before flinching as a weak wave of electricity is sent at it from Serenity.

Serenity used Thunder Wave on Furret! (-7 Energy)
Furret is paralyzed! It may be unable to move! (25% Chance)

If nothing else, the Furret is forced to slow down.

Terra swings her sword twice, while Auric uses his free hand to strike at the Furret.

Terra used Cross Poison on Furret! (-4 Energy)
Crit: 02451<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3+4.5-4.5)=10 Damage

Auric used Rock Smash on Furret! (-3 Energy)
Crit: 00091<00625=CRITICAL HIT
Damage: (6+3+3+7.5-4.5)*1.5+2=24.5 Damage (34.5 Total)
Effect: 06970<05000=No Drop

As Auric moves back to get his balance, Nate’s heightened senses warned him of the incoming danger, and dived into the pile of furniture just before the water in the holes in the floor made an all too familiar motion, barreling down on the rest of the group in the open.

Wild Sentrets synchronized Surf! (-15 Energy Each)

ABNORMALITY ENDURED THE HIT!

With the sun up, no one is hurt too badly, except the Furret; in fact, it looks to be covered in bruises, and is starting to show signs of tireness. It really seems the Sentrets don’t get the concept of not attacking allies…

Dimly in the light, as Nate climbs out of the pile of furniture, a small star falls through the holes in the ceiling onto him, absorbed into his body and restoring his health as the Furret suffers from the poison in its veins.

The sunlight is pouring through the holes in the ceiling…
Furret is hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 62 Total)
Nate’s wish came true! (+21 Health)

As the water recedes back to the holes, Nate quickly throws up a barrier of sorts around the trainers, seeking to reduce the Furret’s physical attacking power for a little while.

Nate used Reflect on himself, Terra, and Aruic! (-14 Energy)
The three were protected from physical attacks! (6 Actions)

Of the group, though, he seems to be the most tired…

Abnormality, in great pain, sees red as her flames burn brighter than ever before. The fastest being in the temple turns her gaze at the Furret, and her eyes narrow in focus, flames on her body shrinking as a flaming orb forms in her mouth. The Blaziken seems to feel backed into a corner, and the sun is shining to strengthen her fires. Suddenly, all at once, Abnormality detonates the orb of fire blasts the result in the direction of the Furret!

Abnormality used Blast Burn on Furret! (-9 Energy)
Hit: 04021<09000=HIT
Crit: 07016<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (15+3+3+2+9-3)=29 Damage (89 Total)
Abnormality became sluggish!

That will leave a mark, even if Abnormality has to pay for it later.

With the Furret slowed to a more manageable speed, Sterling takes advantage and unleashes an orb of fighting power at the Furret.

Sterling used Focus Blast on Furret! (-8 Energy)
Crit: 07016<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (12+7.5-3)*1.5=24.75 Damage (113.75 Total)
Effect: 09446<01000=No drop

Because of Sterling’s focus on attacking, the energy hits true, driving the Furret back a few feet before Serenity sends a blade of solid air after it.

Serenity used Air Slash on Furret! (-5 Energy)
Hit: 03658<09500=HIT
Crit: 08475<01875=NORMAL
Damage: (8+3+7.5-3)=15.5 Damage (129.25 Total)
Flinch: 05569<06000=FLINCH

The Furret is knocked clean off its paws, before trying to stand back up. Before it can stand completely, though, it is pounded in turn by Terra and Auric.

Terra used Psycho Cut on Furret! (-4 Energy)
Crit: 07747<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3+4.5-4.5)=10 Damage (139.25 Total)

Auric used Double Kick on Furret! (-4 Energy)
Crits: 08855, 07749<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (3+3+3+7.5-4.5)*1.5+2=20 Damage (159.25 Total)

The Furret weakly stands up, slowly, as it seeks to regain its balance…

…before an incoming wave causes it to flinch as it barrels down on everyone in sight.

Furret flinched!

Total Nate Damage: (1*5)+3.75=8.75 Damage
ABNORMALITY ENDURED THE HIT!

While everyone endured the hit, more or less, more and more portions of the wave keep cutting through the defenses that Nate has set up… and it seems that people and Pokémon are either starting to tire, or are near fainting…

The Furret stands on its hind legs as its blank eyes go completely black, and wisps of black smoke start exiting the Furret’s body…

Furret is hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 183.75 Total)
Furret’s paralysis weakened! (20%)
Auric’s Attack returned to normal! (-1 Attack)
Abnormality’s Speed Boost raised its speed! (+2 Speed, -2 Energy)

The sunlight is pouring through the holes in the ceiling… (3 Rounds)

What is this new development? Can the group handle it and the repeated waves of the Sentrets?

"All right, I think we're making some progress! Nate, have Blaziken use hi-her best most powerful move, though not Focus Punch. Everyone else just keep attacking and we should be able to win this thing! Serenity, use Dazzling Gleam!"

"...Toge?"

Eternal Drifter · Jun 26, 2014

Inside the Half-Built Temple

Tired from the last attack, Abnormality just stands there, trying to recover her breath. Meanwhile, Auric gives a shout to order Sterling to finish the Furret quickly.

Sterling used Close Combat on Furret! (-8 Energy)
Crit: 01635<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (12+7.5-4.5)*1.5=15 Damage
Sterling’s Defense fell! (1 Stage)
Sterling’s Special Defense fell! (1 Stage)

Risking greater harm, the illusionist bug strikes as hard as possible. Is Auric expecting his partner to fall soon?

Terra calmly orders a powerful blinding flash of light from her partner, only to start ranting when it turns out that the Togekiss does not know the requested move. She can improvise enough, however, directing Serenity to send a homing sphere of fighting power at the Furret.

Serenity used Aura Sphere on Furret! (-6 Energy)
Crit: 05445<01875=NORMAL
Damage: (8+7.5-3)*1.5=18.75 Damage (33.75 Total)

Terra and Auric strike at the Furret in turn, bringing their swords down to make another cross in the Furret's fur.

Speed order: 1 vs 2 = 2

Auric used Rock Smash on Furret! (-3 Energy)
Crit: 02525<00625=NORMAL

Nate just stands there, gaping open mouthed. Did the last wave knock the sense out of him? Is he tired? Or is he watching the Furret charge Abnormality?

Furret to move: 08527<02000=MOVE
Furret used Shadow Rush on Abnormality!

With shadowy energy leaking out of the Furret’s body, the tackle is more powerful than before. But even then, it is too much as the Blaziken falls to the ground, unconscious.

ABNORMALITY FAINTED!

As the Furret regains its footing to find its next target, the water shifts in the holes again, before forming another giant wave and barreling down on everyone.

The group stands there as the water rushes back into the holes in the temple floor, Abnormality’s body floating facedown in one of them while Sterling’s body is tangled up in one of the piles of furniture, unconscious as well, the amulet hanging off one of her wings. Terra, Serenity, and Nate all seem to be in relatively good health, but the Furret and Auric both seem to be close to collapsing… in fact, if one had packed any Pokéballs, this would have been an ideal opportunity to catch the Furret, assuming the shadows don’t put it out of commission first!

Furret is hurt by poison! (-2 Health, 94.25 Damage Total)
The sunlight is pouring through the holes in the ceiling… (3 Rounds)

With another party member out for the count, Serenity sends a blast of air at the Furret, hoping to lower the likelihood of the Furret moving.

Serenity used Air Slash on Furret! (-5 Energy)

The Furret is blown off its feet again, but it stands up fast enough for Terra and Auric to charge on it.

Speed Order 1 vs 2= 1

Terra used Psycho Cut on Furret! (-4 Energy)

Apparently dimly remembering the more powerful hits from before, the Furret turns its attention to Auric before trying to let loose a shadowy bolt of electricity.

Move?: 03692<02000=MOVE
Furret used Shadow Bolt on Auric!
Crit: 09260<1250=NORMAL
Damage: (5.36+3+4.5-3)*1.5=14.79 Damage (27.9525 Total)

Auric stands stock still for several seconds as the bolt courses through his body, before his brain decides the pain he is feeling is too much. As the electricity fades, Auric collapses to the ground, unconscious.

AURIC FAINTED!

Just in time for yet another wave of water to course through the temple, with more in it than just the adventurers!

The unconscious Sentrets kept summoning wave after wave, guaranteeing water damage to the temple, if it wasn’t suffering it already. So much, in fact, that they all fell unconscious from it. Even so, they did manage to put several dents into the group, helping take out three of their numbers.

Wait… isn’t there six more waiting outside?

Regardless, the Furret appears on its last legs, suffering from the poison and the overpowering effects of the shadows…

The Light Screen of the group faded!
Furret is hurt by poison! (-2 Health, 168.75 Damage Total)
Furret is hurt by the shadows! (-2 Health, 170.75 Damage Total)
Furret's Paralysis loosened! (15%)
The sunlight is pouring through the holes in the ceiling… (2 Rounds)

Can the remains of the group pull themselves together to finish off the Furret and remain conscious for the oncoming storm?!?

"Ack, Auric!"

"I hope you have an escape plan, this isn't looking so good..."

"Ugh! I only have one hope of getting out of this mess!"

Serenity: Aura Sphere~Air Slash (Furret)
If the Sentret attack after Terra's A1, then redirect A2 to one of the Sentret.

Terra: Swords Dance (Try to use with Intimidate to scare off the Sentret after killing Furret, use as Combo if needed/possible)~Psycho Cut (Sentret)

For Both: If you get below 20 health after A1, then use RUN! A2.

(Edit: Instant Win Condition GO!)

"Ah, fuck."

Chill x2

Eternal Drifter · Jul 3, 2014

Inside the Half-Built Temple

With growing desperation, Serenity sends a sphere of fighting power at the Furret, striking true and causing the creature to fall unconcious, though its body still twitches for several further seconds.

Serenity used Aura Sphere on Furret! (-6 Energy)
Crit: 01811<01875=NORMAL
Damage: (8+7.5-3)*1.5=18.75 Damage
FURRET FAINTED! (+1 KOC Serenity)

With a sigh, Terra turns around and looks out the doorway, swinging her sword in an intimidating dance, making the Sentrets outside reconsider entering the building.

Terra used Swords Dance! (-7 Energy)
Terra's Attack sharply rose! (+2 Stages)

Meanwhile, Nate, nearly exhausted, leans against one of the wooden pilliars in the temple, gasping as he retrieves his breath.

Nate chilled! (+12 Energy)

As he does so, however, a wind blows through the area...

An ill wind is blowing!

It barely matters, though, as before Serenity can send a blast of air out the door, Terra gives out a war cry, frightening the remaining Sentrets away.

Terra used Intimidate! (-5 Energy)
Wild Sentret fled!
Wild Sentret fled!
Wild Sentret fled!
Wild Sentret fled!
Wild Sentret fled!
Wild Sentret fled!

Nate continues gasping as he falls to all four limbs, continuing to regain his breath, the danger passed as the Furret stops twitching.

Nate chilled! (+12 Energy)

Which leaves the group alone, soping wet, in the temple...

Or nearly alone. Perched on a beam just before a hole in the roof is a Chatot, feathers dull with age and tiredness. It looks at the remaints of the group, watching carefully, before nodding and giving a squak.

"Wind in yer sails!"

The group is half defeated, and half simply tired, with an uninvited guest watching them, but they may have gotten what they came for. Is this amulet a sign they need? Could it guide one in the footsteps of the missing trainer, Walker? And what happened when Sterling grabbed it before?

Then again, there is the question of what they'll do next, let alone how they'll all get to the nearest Center for recovery...

(OOC: This is essentially over, but there is the issue of prizes. There is ONE (1) Arceus Amulet avaliable for ONE (1) person; they'll get 1 Exploration Counter, while the other two get 3. Feel free to discuss among yourselves who gets the prize, how you get to the nearest Center, and what happens there, if you wish.)

Our Tentative decision is to give Geodude the amulet and the others will take the 3 Exploration Tokens.

That said I haven't been able to discuss this with Geodude6 yet. Please respond to confirm or deny this working for you.

Inside the Half-Built Temple

With a weary sigh, Terra starts dragging Auric out of the temple, with Nate recalling Abnormality and then starting to follow Terra's lead with Sterling. As they do so, however, the Chatot gives a nod of approval before flying out the door over their heads.

"Wind in yer sails! Hey, listen!"

With those words, it flys back into the sky, flying southwards... maybe its a clue to the next piece of the Walker's trail?
