Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

The Ruins!

"....Fu-!"

Silent, of course, complies and hits the deck. Ichtacya is slower to comply.

The next centisecond, 29 hardened-top arrows fly from both sides of the wall and pierce whatever they can find, which is, hopefully, noone.

Ichtacya: <…Ouch!>

Thou hast forgotten the face of thy Lord. Remember, mortal, and fear pet me.

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

-Looking at an arrow that landed uncomfortably close to my head-

Those things look like they could pierce through a Metagross' hide.

Muddy: <Let's just keep moving.>

-Looking at Ichtacya-

<And watch where we step next time.>

Muddy: -Looking up into the pipes, still working after tens of thousands of years- <Do you guys hear that?>

Ana: -Is currently enamored by the all the tech around- <Hear what?>

Draca: <Yeah, it sounds like...scuttling.>

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

Ruins

Silent, body still to the ground, turns his head around.

"…I can barely hear it. Lina? Maggie? You OK?"

Meanwhile Ichtacya curls carefully to observe a large but fortunately shallow scratch running past her spine near the tail. She grumbles as she carefully gets back up to her feet.

Ichtacya: <Sorry, I thought this place was falling apart from old, I guess?> -- turns to Xavier, scoffs -- <No offense.>

Silent produces a vial.

"Let me treat that quickly, there's no sunlight here and those arrows could be poisoned." 

Ichtacya -sighs: <At least I didn't get an arrow stuck on my butt again.>

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

Ruins

-Suddenly, some spider shaped automatons come out of openings in the pipes- 

Ana: <Oh cool, maybe they're friendly!>

-The nearest spiderbot then fires a lightning bolt at me, leaving me on the ground writhing in pain-

82

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

Ruins

Ichtacya: <Fun and toys, he said.> >_>

Ichtacya groans at the turn of events and goes hide behind the nearest mon. Silent, meanwhile, observes carefully and readies to send Dintel out.

"Someone try to help Tagg back up! Ichtacya, can you give us some cover?"

Ichtacya: <No.> -- grumbles, staring at the automatons.

"…" -- sighs.

-Chrome charges a Meteor Mash. Xavier does the same with a Thunder Wave-

Umbra: And I thought  my temple was filled with deathtraps. ._.

Lina: Eh, I've seen worse.

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

Ruins

-The spiderbot Chrome strikes explodes in a burst of harmful electricity-

85

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

Ruins

Silent sends Dintel out just in time for the Pokémon to block some of the electricity from the spiderbots. A signal later, the Sandshrew fires some lil'stars at the nearest spiderbots in an attempt to drive them away. Ichtacya, feeling a bit more confident, Energy Balls one of the pipes the spiderbots are coming out from.

-To Chrome / Xavier-

"I don't suppose there's a better path than this one?"

Thou hast forgotten the face of thy Lord. Remember, mortal, and fear pet me.

86

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

-The remaining spiderbots are destroyed, and the pipe is sealed to prevent any more from coming out-

Fuck...

-Gets up slowly-

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

-Wobbily stands up-

I've certainly been better, let's keep moving.

Deeper in the Ruins

-We come across some more artwork, but this artwork happens to be...fairly trippy-

Muddy: <What in the world is this stuff, it's screwing with my mind.>

-Uses Aura Sense...and immediately wishes I didn't-

Crud, I think I'm gonna hurl.

Cobalt: <It would appear to be the equivalent of...stall graffiti.>

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

Not as deep in the Ruins

Silent helps Tagg stand up and offers him a M&M. After a short conversation with Ichtacya, he recalls her for safety.

As the group keeps moving, Silent drops some M&Ms along the path to mark the way back to the entrance.

Deeper in the Ruins

Silent is walking with the group, has sent out [Algira] because she being a flying mon she won't trigger any pressure plates or tripwires.

Hopefully.

-to Maggie-

"So, Maggie, you and your Pokémon enjoying the trip so far?" -- waves a hand nonchalantly -- "Certainly this is not exactly the usual work Dr. Tagg and I have back at PEFE."

Algira -hovers around watching one of the graffiti: <…I don't get it...> -- turns upside down -- <…Oh! Now I get it!>

Deep Ruins

Chrome: <Oh yeah, young punks used to do this stuff all the time.>

Xavier: <It hurts to look at it, much less mindscan it.>

Umbra: Is this what they did in their spare time? ._.

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

Deep Ruins

Silent drops a M&M on the ground then shrugs at Chrome's commentary.

Silent: "It's not any different really than what our people do in their spare time."

-hears Umbra-

"I guess it was also the same during your time. Fancy one?" -- offers Umbra the M&M bag.

Umbra: Pretty much. And thanks. -noms some M&Ms.-

Maggie: "I am, yeah, and I think my Pokemon are too."

SleepyHead: <I'm enjoying this, yes. Even if I'd rather keep my mind away from that graffiti...>

Kernel: <This is a bit crazy for my tastes, but it's better than what we had to deal with in that mirror.>

Maggie: "Oh, and could I have some M&Ms too?"

"Welcome. Do you have some... b u s i n e s s?"

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

In the Ruins

Silent takes a look into his bag of M&Ms.

"Hmmm... Yeah, there are still enough left." -- offers the bag to Maggie, turns to whoever -- "Shall we get moving?"

Algira -still upside-down: <¿ɹoɹɹıɯ ʇɐɥʍ...>

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

-After some more walking, we end up in a wide area containing a wide chasm, the sides connected by an old bridge-

99

Re: Alakagross Ruin Adventures

-Algira does not care much about the bridge and just flutters slowly towards the other side. Silent is in the process of dropping a M&M behind the group and does not notice the Masquerain is gone until a moment later-

Silent -looks at the bridge, frowns: "Gee thanks, Algira... >_>" -- turns to Tagg, Maggie and Lina -- "Any of you want more M&Ms? There's only a [few] left."
