Babs screeched to a halt when the letters interposed themselves in front of her. Realizing the others were speaking she shouted back at them.
"What're you talking bout? What's that Grow-down got to do with it? It's fancy and shiny, I'm gonna put it on my mantle back 'ome."
Turning back to the floating words she pointed a finger at them.
"Now, you. Listen here, you've got to learn yer manners young..." Babs faltered a bit trying to figure out what to call the Unown. "Letters. I'm getting to take that there orb, you all can try and stop me but I'm commin' through. I won't use the orb for any of that, destroyin the world business, ya got my word."

Raoul let out an irritated hiss between his teeth as he watched this all play out. He didn't know why the things were even recharging the orb in the first place, and now... it's all going to pot as they -and the floating letters that were forming now- were warning them to leave the orb alone. And with the priestess now divulging what the orb was... he wasn't sure if they could avoid a fight or two. Not when Rose Red had mentioned that she wanted Groudon's power - she'd certainly not let Babs keep it for starters.
"A priceless artifact like that is only going to invite misfortune and greed into your home, Babs, by painting a target onto your backs. People infinitely worse than tax collectors and make them look like saints." Raoul's jaw was tense as he eyed the situation. "Let it stay here. Please. There are certain things that shouldn't be so easily within people's reach. Just... let them be and let them continue protecting it." Plus... the possibility of her home and a huge chunk of Harvvestim becoming what Rose Red's home is now - a ruined wasteland. Groudon after all, brought only rage and destruction when awoken and his brand of destruction was far worse and harder to come back from than Kyogre's or even the legendary Rayquaza's.

Babs stopped at that, she hadn't thought of robbers. She'd most likely set herself up with a nice place with guards and such once she'd won but what could she do with until then? Turning around to face him she thought about it for a moment.
"Ya really think that dinky thing could cause all that trouble? If it's that bad why don't we jes take it and toss it in the molten drink out there? Or at least take it ta someplace it can't be used. I mean the things guarded by floatin letters for gods sakes."
Babs waved her arms indignantly at the floating text behind her.
"I mean, my kids erased them all the time when they was in school. You can't tell me that no one else'd be able to get down here and through em, especially since if there was summit watching us up there they know bout this place now. At least if we've got it we know that no one'll sneak in behind us and take it."

Erinna mouthed wordlessly for a moment as Babs voiced extremely valid and concerning concerns. She was right. They couldn't just leave this orb here now that it was discovered. Erinna couldn't trust any of these people. Aurora might be young, but she was from a kingdom famous for its dark goings-on. Raoul seemed reasonable, but there was something off about him. "I...I don't know if putting it in the lava would work..." she said. "But...um, I could take it back to the Grand Cathedral. They would definitely know what to do with it." If there was anyone equipped to deal with such a powerful holy artifact, it was the high clergy.

"I'm absolutely sure that trinket could cause that kind of mess." Raoul deadpanned rather promptly. "As for lava? Probably wouldn't do anything considering it's tied to the god that created magma. It won't even sink."
The plan to possibly take it and place it somewhere for safekeeping has its merits, but.... "Don't underestimate the unassuming. Especially when said unassuming is doing something to that orb." Recharging it, most likely. He closed his eyes for a moment and sighed, suppressing the urge to flinch at the suggestion that the priestess put forth. He hadn't trusted that institution before all this and he trusted them even less now after Malvasia's revelations and suppositions.
"I vote we don't give it to the Cathedral, milady priestess." He remarked carefully. "No offense, but to hand the orb and a symbol of possible pride or devotion to this nation to another nation that it heavily distrusts would not be a wise diplomatic move. Secret or no - words have wings and they get around eventually." And he would really not wish for that Cathedral to have another big gun in its arsenal and make the delicate balance of peace all the more fragile.
He then glanced at the assembled. "But perhaps... somewhere else."

"...I'm not so sure their concern is about it not being used for ill. If that were the case, then they would simple be guarding it. After all, in it's current state it cannot fulfill it's function as a summoning stone. Which bears the question...Why were they charging it?" Aluche says, walking closer to stone. Intuition Check: NF2Xmph64d6 "Hmmm...Could it be.." Aluche mutters as her she forms a hunch based on her intuition. Not the most ideal way to go about it, but it was all she had to go on at this point. Intuition Check to see if a certain person was lying about a certain thing at a certain point in time: 4d6 4d6·4d6

Occult check: The church would probably know what to do with it. but the lava you're almost certain would be fruitless Intuition: 1st check: Probably to let it summon Groudon, maybe they were ordered to or drawn to it. 2nd check: Rose looks giddy, she was probably telling the truth but she's definitely not sorry for leading you all down here. The Unown began moving back, their glow darkening as they shut their eyes. With the firey glow of the Unown gone, all that lit the room was the orb and the lava's glow from outside. A sudden flash of light flared as the Unown re emerged. They flew about in quick bursts like insects, shifting their letters over and over but always the same words. "NO NO NO NO STOP STOP STOP STOP NO NO NO NO NO KILL KILL KILL" Stopping for a moment the Unown began to form chains amongst themselves. Two larger chains of 6 unknown moved before the group while a small er group of four continued to circle the orb. Prime Unown 1 uses it's special ability Wordplay. The Unown shift and spin before spelling the word, DEFEND Prime Unown 1's Defense sharply rose. Prime Unown 2 uses it's special ability Wordplay. The Unown shift and spin before spelling the word, ATTACK Prime Unown 2's Attack sharply rose.

Raoul tsked, his shoulders slumping slightly as he drew his bastard sword. He himself didn't attack yet as he bulked himself up, but he did nod toward the Prime Unown that spelled attack. It was the bigger threat and it needed to go now. Conan the Cubone launched forward, attempting to ram his bone club into the group, attempting to bat them away like they were flies, grunting a battle cry. Raoul Dantès Finea used Bulk Up! | No Accuracy Check; Crit Check:fn8Paq6b1d20 | Type: | Fighting | Frequency: | EOT | Damage Category: | Status | Range: | Self | Effects: | Raise the user’s Attack and Defense by +1 CS each. |

"Eep!" Erinna shrieked at the sudden combat. "I-Invidia!" she called to her Ponyta. "D-d-do something!" She flinched back, eyes wide with fear, but she still did her duty, standing between the Pokemon and Princess Aluche. That was the one part of her combat training that she had always been able to do.
Invidia dashed forward, charging right to the ATTACK Unown, and released a threatening growl.

Babs glared at the Unown as the formed aggressive words, stomping her foot as she grabbed her axe. "I've never let any letters keep me from doing somethin' afore, I'm not startin' now! Boggy! Smack that'un till it stops movin'!"Running forward with a wild shout Babs tried her best to slice the opponent as Boggy charged in.

The Unown's snakey body manuvered to avoid most of the damage, especially the dangerous club swung it's way, but failed to avoid all as Boggy caught it by the "tail" end, stomping down hard on the K shaped creature. The damage caused teh larger creature to halt it's movements long enough for Aluche to land a kiss on it. Damaged and confused the Prime recoils leaving the K behind under Boggy's hoof. Aurora had been observing this all and was prepared to fight if need be, sending out her Milotic she took aim at the other Prime."Water Pulse." Water Pulse Ac: MqAoxbh41-20 Dmg: 2-12 +23 Valerie looked on disappointed thatthey had to fight, she would rather study the place then battle here, nevertheless push came to shove. "Alright Conductor, you're up." She spoke as she deployed her Rhyhorn. It turned to assist the Milotic in her fight. Horn attack Ac;1-20 DMG:2-12 +26 ````````````````` Rose saw it as her chance now. Moving off to the side she smirked, "Alright Morgana lets go." The Litten mewed and prepared itself, "Use a Flamethrower!" The gout of fire burst from the small cats mouth, hurtling forward before curing up and colliding with the orb. The flames disappeared as the orb pulsed red, "Oops, I don't think that was supposed to happen." mused Rose. ````````````````` The two prime moved towards the others, the first at the Miliotic having decided it was the danger as the other trageted Boogy. Confusion rolls 1-20 1-20 The first seems to recover it's senses while the other does not, striking itself instead of Boggy. The prime not confused simply spells the word HIT Pound Ac:1-20 Dmg:1-8+17 The second forms no words, simply whipping itself like a long piece of rope it strikes the ground. Struggle/Self damage 1-8+11 1-20·2-12·1-20·2-12·1-20·1-20·1-20·1-8·1-8

Raoul looked on at the battle with a grim set to his features, especially after both sides had people fumbling. At least the odds seem to be at least somewhat more in their favor. In either case... he would have to play this a little more carefully. "Focus, Conan!" He ordered, resisting the urge to grimace at the letters absorbing the fire. "And no one else please hit the flaming orb with fire. It's probably counter-productive." Or it was charging it more. Also a bad thing, given who wanted it. Conan nodded and disengaged back a bit, letting the others do the attacking for the moment as he focused his energy. He will redeem himself. Just... focus.Meanwhile, Raoul took his turn as he swung his sword forward from near the back of the crowd. An ominous wave of dark energy shaped like a fist sped towards the Prime Unown that whipped the floor for some reason. It must be terribly confused. Conan used Focus Energy! | No Accuracy Check; Crit Check: N/A | Type: | Normal | Frequency: | At-Will | Damage Category: | Status | Range: | Self | Effects: | The user becomes Pumped. While Pumped, the user's Critical Range is extended by 2, or 18+ if the Critical Range is not otherwise extended. Being switched will cause this effect to end. |
Raoul Dantès Finea used Shadow Punch! | No Accuracy Check; Crit Check:RKH4OJn01d20 | Type: | Ghost | Frequency: | EOT | Damage: | 2d6+28 | Crit Adds: | 2d6+10 | Damage Category: | Physical | Range: | 6, 1 Target | Effects: | Shadow Punch cannot miss. |

What happened to the Orb? Erinna made a Occult Ed Check! | rFjdlXyz5d6 |
Erinna gasped as Aleri ordered her Pokemon to charge the orb. She was trying to summon Groudon! And she was close to succeeding. "Princess, we have to stop her!" the priestess exclaimed to Aluche. She couldn't trust the rest with the orb obviously, but the Princess would agree with her.
In her attempt to stop the summoning, Erinna manifested the power of her blessing around her, wisps of pink mist wrapping her body. The air was filled with a strongly sweet smell, which wafted over to Aleri's Litten, hopefully distracting it.
Invidia, as the Ponyta would likely become used to in the coming days, was left to her own devices in combating the Unown. She mimicked the other horse Pokemon, and struck the mass of letters with a hoof.
Litten has to make a DC 12 Focus check, or be distracted, and...try to eat Erinna? The Unown has to get Stomped Invidia used Stomp! | AC: | 1d20+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 2 + Target Evasion | Type: | Normal | Frequency: | EOT | Damage: | 2d6+26 | Crit Adds: | 2d6+10 | Damage Category: | Physical | Range: | Melee, 1 Target | Effects: | Stomp Flinches the target on 15+.

"Tch! What does that woman think she's doing in the middle of a fight?!" Aluche says, turning her attention towards the Broksin rep. "Change of targets, Lightning!" Lightning used Shock Wave! | No Accuracy Check; Crit Check:Ud9TsD2h1d20 | Type: | Electric | Frequency: | At-Will | Damage: | 4d8+27 | Crit Adds: | 2d8+10 | Damage Category: | Special | Range: | 6, 1 Target | Effects: | Shock Wave cannot miss. *Grants Zapper |
Aluche moves in to finish the job,striking a pose so beautiful that sparkles spontaneously manifest around her...which then proceed to rush at Aleri.

Babs gaped as the orb was struck by the burst of flame, it suddenly pulsed with light. That was definitely not natural, her mind flitted back to Raoul's warnings. If that thing really could do what they were warning about it wasn't going to be a fun time for any of them. Turning to face Rose with an indignant look on her face Babs was even more surprised to see Aluche outright attack. Already fuming Babs began to hop with indignation, what foolishness was all this? Was she traveling with a bunch of crazies? Turning back to the foe at hand Babs tried to take down the weaker of the two Unown as quickly as possible so she could help sort this mess out. Raising her battleaxe high she charged through the weaker to hit the stronger as well. Boggy continued to strike at the weaker foe. Babs Yagavich used Slice! | AC: | ZBW4IAnT1d20+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 3 + Target Evasion | Type: | Normal | Frequency: | Scene x2 | Damage: | 3d12+15 | Crit Adds: | 3d12+10 | Damage Category: | Physical | Range: | Melee, Pass | Effects: | Limitation: Melee Weapons Only |
