The Battle for Caldera
The time for action is at hand, and the players have been set in place. Those who choose to make an attempt at diplomacy head off at the appointed time to meet with Valeria, the clerk and representative of the general who leads the Gigas army. Those who wish to take more direct action against Gigas leave with General Ironbrand to put their plans into motion. In the meantime, the refugees continue to stream into Union, while supplies are gathered and flow the other way.
The outcome of this war may very well depend on the combined results of these four efforts…
((This log will be a catch-all for all four efforts of the attempt to save Caldera. There will be four different parts of this post: Diplomacy, Aggression, Refugees, and Supplies. The first two should be well established, but the Refugees portion will encompass bringing those in Caldera who require help to Union and giving them medical aid and care, while the Supplies portion will encompass people in Union setting up shelters and gathering resources to send back to Caldera, as well as other miscellaneous tasks that may be of help. Gathering resources may entail leaving Union to explore out in other areas. You all signed up for groups, so please try to maintain these groups when posting, particularly to the Diplomacy and Aggression sections. The other two may be more free-form.
Mods will be responding at least once every 24 hours to keep the logs moving.
EDIT 5/31: Please try to group up if possible! We'll generally try to wait for threads to have 2-3 people before we jump in. Threads with 3+ may attract the attention of something a little more... interesting.))

But man oh man, was it even hotter here than it was when they had first popped into this lava cavern. Usagi can feel the sweat and stuffiness of the cavern starting to weigh down on her the longer they're down here. She's about to open up her mouth to complain about the conditions they're currently under...
... but her eyes catch a glimpse of the shrine that's now within their grasp to start adventuring in and Usagi is immediately poking her nose into everything and anything. Specifically stopping when she notices the small disk that's shinier than anything else in this place and picks it up, looking at it with a curious eye. ]
Hey guys? What's this thing?
no subject
[ Congratulations, Usagi. You have the same affinity for shiny objects as a Murkrow: he's now flying around your head, debating the best way to approach and claim that special prize.
Haruka bats him aside, however, putting down the scroll she'd been looking at (they'll have to take these back for Setsuna to look at later). She will attempt to pluck that device from Usagi's fingers. ] Don't touch anything.
[ But Haruka, you're taking everything. ]
no subject
Oh, just probably some ancient relic with great historical value.
[Michiru, please.]
no subject
no subject
Whatever it was, it sounds very menacing. ]
It might be a good idea to leave. [ Hotaru's about a half-second from taking her Absol form, Usagi or no Usagi.
Unlike the other two Enlightened in their group, she felt vulnerable like this. And vulnerable wasn't a good thing when there was a very menacing sounding growl coming from somewhere in the cavern.
Her Litwick, on the other hand. seemed to... actually, her Litwick didn't seem to care whatsoever. She was just standing at the edge of the island staring into the lava. Wow. Simple minds have no worries. ]
no subject
[ Well, she's just going to let Haruka take that thing from her without any kind of retort. Why? Well, she's pretty sure that she doesn't want to be the one who gets in trouble for breaking something that valuable.
She'd apologize profusely because the last thing she wants is to get on Haruka's bad side but.... ]
.... what's that?
[ Welp. If being surrounded by lava wasn't enough to put Usagi on edge, that growl sure did a good job of it. ]
no subject
[and the scrolls go in a convenient pack she's got on her. Want to put the TM in here too?
She glances at her Gardevoir and. She knows exhaustion when she sees it.
Hypocrite.] We should start walking.[turning to the land bridge. This will be fun.]
no subject
Still, the fact that Waltz either can't or won't Teleport gets a smirk. ] Stamina give out before the big finish?
no subject
Haruka gets a smirk right back.] She might surprise you yet.
[ladies, this is so not the time. Honestly, look at Gardevoir rolling her eyes.]
no subject
no subject
She's a Shifter, so she can talk to them, right? ]
H-Hey. We come in peace? [ This wasn't going to work, was it?
Meanwhile, her Litwick, which was a lot closer to the Arcanine, just pipes in with a completely-unfazed "Hi!"
Yes. Thank you, Celosia. That was a very useful addition to the conversation. ]
no subject
There's a bit of lava that lands at her feet, causing the rock to sizzle and in proper reaction, Usagi practically stumbles backwards to avoid it. For once, Usagi doesn't end up falling flat on her butt or on her face and has a good footing on keeping herself upright! ]
Safe!
[ Good job, Usagi. That's not what you should be worried about. ]
... Hey big guy! .. Um.. sorry if we woke you up? If you let us pass we'll let you get back to your nap!
[ No, that's probably not going to help either. But, at least she's trying. ]
no subject
[ ....It just had to jump over them, didn't it. It just had to leave Haruka at the back of the procession, and with that Pokémon up here, there isn't much room to maneuver around.
She does her best, however, trying to edge herself forward around everybody else. Sewaddle peeks up over her shoulder to see what all the fuss is about, takes one look at Arcanine, and promptly disappears again. From the way she can feel his weight rolling around behind her she suspects he's fainted.
Her hero.
She reaches for the sword she'd, um. Appropriated earlier today. Murkrow, for his part, circles the guard Pokémon, sizing up the foe. This isn't a very good matchup for him...he might serve, as best, as an annoying decoy. ] We'll hold it off. Both of you, get ready to run.
[ Now all that remains is seeing whether the kids will listen. ]

INFIDELS! DEFILERS!
The voice speaks directly to your minds, and carries a forceful weight.
WHAT RIGHT HAVE YOU TO DESECRATE MY MASTER'S SHRINE SO!?
no subject
Her Litwick seems intent on making friends with the fiery canine, actually smiling and moving towards it, but Hotaru steps in front of her, not wanting her friend to be hurt. Sorry, Haruka, for the moment she's not budging. ] We didn't come with any ill intent. Just let us leave in peace. [ A little bit of Pressure might be seeping into her own words, a mixture of fear and determination.
...Yeah, this wasn't going to go well, was it? She prepared to Detect any incoming attacks, hoping to keep her and Celosia out of harm's way. ]
no subject
But, the deja vu leaves just as quickly as it appears when the Arcanine roars and speaks to them about their trespassing. ]
Your... Master's Shrine? [ Looking behind everyone, Usagi looks back at the little shrine that they had just tried to leave. So, they had bothered the Arcanine by being there.... but man. What kind of person would have their shrine surrounded by lava? Couldn't they have chosen something nicer, like a field of flowers or a cake shop or something? ]
no subject
Now if only they were moving along said track. The moment she attacks they're stuck here until they finish the fight, and she has no intentions of getting into a Pokémon battle above a pool of lava with a bunch of kids in tow.
She hisses in a whisper to the two younger girls. ] What are you waiting for? Go!
no subject
And just who was your Master? [perfunctory smile.]
no subject
no subject
Meting out punishments for the arrogance of humans? That line struck a chord with her, for some reason. But she didn't have time to worry about that.
She was sure to keep herself between this Pokémon and her Litwick. She spared a glance to Haruka and Michiru - what were they supposed to do now? It was only a glance, though, before she put her full attention back on this Pokémon, wary of any moves it might make. ]
no subject
The fear and stress of her choice freezes her in place. Oh Savior, what was she supposed to do? But, it's Pinky stroking her head that pulls her out of her stupor. What a great companion... ]
We don't! But we didn't come here cause trouble! [ Well, if she was going to talk... then she had better say the truth at least! Michiru had said that those were ancient relics and scrolls that they were taking in.. and deep inside, Usagi trusted that they weren't swiping them to sell them on some shady black market or something so really, that only meant one thing... ] We came to this place because we wanted to learn about the past! Because we want to help the humans of this place... of all places know what kind of world humans and pokemon used to live in!
[ Was that right? It sounded right. It felt right. She'll just go with her gut feeling that she said the right thing. ]
no subject
Rather than scold Usagi or shove her out of the way, therefore, Haruka just stares. She looks a bit awed, if confused. ]
Bunhead...
no subject
A quick glance over at her partner pretty much confirms it. Still. She's going to revisit this when they're not quite in so much peril.]
That was not our intention. Much has been lost, and it is our duty to learn what we can so we could hope to avoid the mistakes of the past.
[mostly honest, for once. The repercussions of attacking this creature - or even being flippant - does not bode particularly well.]
no subject
I suppose that is valid. But if you must take what you found, it should be replaced with something of value. If you wish to leave with what you have taken, tribute something to my master in exchange.
