Dungeon Crawling

Log Deputy: Void
Participating Characters: Jade Curtiss, Chester Barklight, Cress Albane
Plot Description: Going deep down into the depths of the Old City to search for powerful Pokemon
Warnings/Notes: Possible violence?

[There have always been rumours floating around that tell of highly dangerous Pokemon lurking in the Old City, just waiting to ambush unsuspecting Delvers. Someone somewhere decided it was high time to investigate, which is why Jade finds himself down in his least favourite place in the world, along with a possibly-suicidal Ranger and his best friend, who didn't even happen to be a Ranger.

It's a rather annoying situation, to put it mildly.

It takes a lot of walking (and a few circuitous paths; Jade doesn't want them venturing anywhere near his old laboratories) before they finally venture deep enough into the Old City that they're in an area all but unexplored by people from the Union. Jade raises his lamp high, trying to take stock of their surroundings.]


I'm sure there's no need to tell the two of you to be cautious.

Nnngh, yuck...

[Luckily, Chester manages to keep any... muck out of his mouth and eyes. They have antidotes, but it'd still be a bad idea to get poisoned down here. Toryuu keeps up with the sand, staying close to Sandshrew and doing his best to keep the Muk slowed down now that the giant ball has burst. Chest gets his bow off his shoulder and starts to fit the tip of an arrow with a capsule from his Ranger kit.]

Everyone, hold your breath!

[Firing the arrow into the biggest cluster of Muk, the capsule pops at the impact... releasing a strong Sleeping Power that Chester hopes will give them enough time to escape, or at least a better chance at total victory.]

[Cress... just takes up the back for now. Embarrassed -- clearly he should have rethought the whole electro ball attack thing because now everything was covered.

Collecting Gungnir, the honedge, who was still rather stubborn when it came to retreating. It wasn't like Cress could grab his hilt, but carrying him was also out of the question.. Flamberge couldn't stick close to the ground types because of her weakness but she stayed with the humans. Keeping the area around everyone bright...]
You stubborn-- would you cut it! Come on, Gungnir....

[Holding the handkerchief his mother gave him this morning against his face, gathering up his stupid sword and joining the others.]

Weathering the onslaught of attacks and no longer in a giant rolling doom ball, the Muk start to flee before you. If desired they can be pursued, but for now it is safe.

What the heck, Cress? This isn't my only uniform but geez... This is disgusting.

[As a Ranger, Chester has seen some shit and gotten into a lot of messes over the years, but Muk and Grimer are always the worst. Savior, it stinks. After a bit of yelling at his best friend, he looks back to Jade.]

We should press onward. I wanna get out of here ASAP.
90sbangs: (24 |)

[personal profile] 90sbangs 2014-05-10 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, okay! I don't have long range attacks like you guys.... [Now that one is professional, sorry Jade.] How was I supposed to know it was going to make it blow up like that?

[He's still beating himself up over it too, jeez. Just let it pass, Chester... Cress doesn't know what he'd do without his best friend but sometimes he just wants to smack the guy upside the head.]

I agree though, we should keep going. [Getting out one of his mothers packed Pokemon snacked for the tree currently working and don't call it girly to carry treats this time, Chester! Mr. Curtiss's Pokemon seen to like them so...]

As the team moves through the Old City, they find themselves in an area they definitely don't recognize. Standing before them is the ruins of an enormous mansion. It's extremely quiet in the area, you could hear a pin drop.

[Woah... it's huge. Chester forgets about bitching at Cress for a moment and looks up at the building.]

Do you think the earthquakes uncovered it? Like the Mausoleum...

[He adjusts his bow a little and moves forward. Shuu'u flutters down to perch on him again, picking at the muk in his hair.]

Sounds good to me.

[Aww! What a nice Pokemon, Cress can't help but give him a little extra.] You're doing great. [Talking to the little guy as he beacons for more snacks.]

... It's big. [Captain obvious over here.] -But I have no arguments. [Giving a nod to Charmeleon as she continued to take the lead for everyone's viewing pleasures.]

The inside of the mansion is dark, and the wear of many many centuries is definitely showing. Collapsed staircases, broken walls, it's all very dilapidated. There's absolutely no noise that can be heard, but everyone senses something. There's danger here. Incredible danger.

[personal profile] aniiue 2014-05-16 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yes sir.

[It's a little odd for him to be so complacent about pecking order, but the ominous feeling was putting him on edge. He keeps an eye on whatever might be behind them. He swallows and grips his bow.]

Everything's fine so far, Cress try to listen for anything... I can't hear anything at all, aren't there any Pokemon in here?
90sbangs: (27 |)

[personal profile] 90sbangs 2014-05-16 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[If only they where on a water based mission he could brought Vorpal..] Right..

[He tries to listen for any sounds, anything at all.. worried about his teammates and Pokemon. Flamberge wasn't as strong as Gungnir.. and she was taking the lead -- Cress wouldn't forgive himself if something happened to her, so he's ready to bolt in her direction.

The Charmeleon keeps alert, walking closer and closer to Jade in fear. She tried to stay brave but the darkness and danger of their situation keeps her straying form the very front.]

[As the group moves, the sound of heavy footfalls suddenly echoes through the mansion. It's a slow, methodical pace and it's coming closer]

[personal profile] aniiue 2014-05-16 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Toryuu is probably the first to notice, feeling the vibrations of the heavy footsteps under his feet. He looks at Jade's Sandshrew in worry but presses on when no one else stops. Chester nods to Shuu'u and the Pidgeotto flies up to rest on one of the ledges in waiting, to attack from above in surprise if necessary.]

It sounds big...

[Cress pulls out his sword he's armed with, Honedge by his side, watching his back.] -But where? [Eye's shifting back and forth, Charmeleon backing up towards the group.. timid and even a little frightened.]
bravenewmods: (Default)

[personal profile] bravenewmods 2014-05-17 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[The narrow hallway opens up into a staircase. There are two doors on the left. The heavy footfalls have ceased, for now at least.]
aniiue: (pic#7763475)

@void pidgeotto can totally get hurt or whatever if something's up there!

[personal profile] aniiue 2014-05-19 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Going upstairs is probably a bad idea. We don't know if the floors are stable or not.

[Chester looks back up at his Pidgeotto, voiced hushed.]

Go upstairs and have a look, but come right back.

[Brave bird that he is, Shuu'u gives them all a salute and heads upstairs....]
90sbangs: (3 | Since the last time that I saw)

[personal profile] 90sbangs 2014-05-19 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Gah, Chester.. Do you really thinking that's a good idea to let Shuu go alone? [Trying to walk over to the staircase quietly, looking up with Honedge by his side. The floating sword Pokemon fixated on the darkness above.]

Gungnir.. don't go far, but keep an eye on Shuu.

[The Ghost-type is very used to dark soundings. That one big eye peering around looking for the bird.]

[Shuu, upon reaching the top of the stairs, notes a glint in the rubble - it appears to be an old, lost disc. A Technical Machine.]
