Falon peeks behind the door only to find a long path behind it. The trees along this path appear to be in perfect condition, in stark contrast to the earlier scene. It stretches far to the south, but you can see a path to the east only a step away. Much further south is another split going east and west this time; at this junction stands a small pokemon, though it's hard to make out what species it is at this distance. As your group ponders what to do next, you notice the small pokemon in the distance begin to walk to the west.

Falon opens the door fully and dashes through "Guys, there is a Mon down the road that went west. Let's follow it!" He proceeds to do just that, unless somehow convinced to do otherwise. He runs down the path, turning to where the mon went. Falon Athletics: 14

Henry jots down the paths, looking up just in time to catch the small pokemon moving. He grins, tucking the quill into his hat as Falon forges ahead. The immediate eastern path may lead across the river... But that's not where he wanted them to be. Not just yet, at least.
"Agreed! Come along fellows, before we lose sight of it!" He hurried along the path, holding his hat to his head, Glubs keeping a lookout from his high vantage point.

As the rest of the group runs off yelling about something, Nithia looks up in surprise, blinking. Where were they going? She didn't want them to leave her behind though, what if something scary lurking in the forest found her? However, as she started to run after them, she tripped with a squeak and tumbled face first onto the ground. "Owww..."

Merit pulled out his staff, hands clenching the old, worn grips. With great vigor, the adventure-thirsting man sprinted through the door, Matchi clinging tight to the medic's collar. Merit is sprinting fast enough that he doesn't notice Nithia trip and fall. Athletics to chase after Pokemon: 10

Henry starts to pick up speed, then notices Nithia trip. He turned as he heard her hit the ground and the subsequent outburst, offering his hand to the girl. "Careful now! Are you alright?" He looks her over quickly, hoping she didn't injure herself on the way down. "We probably shouldn't be so gung-ho about everything, seeing as you tripped trying to catch up.... We'll all have a chat once we catch up, and maybe take a small break. Shall we head after them?" Henry offered, a light smile on his face. Should she comply, the two would follow at a much more moderate pace.

Falon and Merit give chase to the pokemon heading west. Falon is the first to turn the corner to see that pokemon that they chased began to take flight. From it's size and color it's unmistakably a Murkrow. As you continue to follow it, you end up in yet another room. This one has a few trees in the center. There's another path past this area, so to speak, but it appears to be more of a river than anything else.
The Murkrow is currently perched on the middle tree staring at the group as they make their way in.

Nithia takes Henry's hand and gets herself up, Tiik floating worriedly over her shoulder. "I'm fine, let's just catch up." She then hustles as quickly but safely as she can, trying to peak over the shoulders of the others into the room with little success.

Henry leads Nithia to the new room, meeting with the others. He eyes the Murkrow in the tree, allowing his Remoraid to slide onto his shoulder as he bowed slightly to the avian, removing his hat. "Seems we're guests! I think we should play nice, don't you? Besides... A hatted bird can't be all bad." He grins to the bird, not looking the most comfortable after that display. "Hello! My name is Henry! How are you this fine day?" He grins, straightening himself and returning his hat to his head. He's not sure he made the BEST impression, but hell, he tried. Intuition roll of 7 to improve the Murkrow's mood.

"Hmm, a Murkrow." While Merit simply stares back at the Darkness Pokemon, Matchi shrinks back at the dark gaze.
A few moments later, Nithia and Henry follow right behind them. Merit raises an eyebrow at Henry's attempted display of civility. He whispers, "I have a feeling that isn't going to work, Henry; these creatures are hardly looking for peace in these labyrinths. Let's reposition ourselves around the creature for a greater advantage."
Merit begins to move clockwise around the bird, staying the same distance away, but planning to stop once he is one quarter of a circle from the party.

Falon nods at Merit's comment, grinning widely - We're finally gonna fight something! - and moves in the opposite direction of Merit, sword drawn and ready. Kaelan, meanwhile, shoots out a vine rope and uses it to position himself on a branch of one of the trees behind Falon.

Nithia looks around in confusion. Huh, combat? But it was just a cute little bird... However, if they were all getting ready to do combat, she better do her part! She closes her eyes and focuses, and a shimmering barrier flickers into existence around all of the party members, bolstering them from physical attacks. Nithia casts Reflect! Any user damaged by a physical move may activate Reflect to resist the damage 1 step. Reflect has 2 uses.

Henry sighed and nodded, placing his hat back atop his head, Glubs resting on the crown. He took a few steps back, and unslung his bow, quickly firing an arrow at the resting Murkrow! "I hope you don't think TOO badly of me... If it helps, I intend to catch you." With that, he let the arrow fly, soaring towards the bird! 11 to hit, 22 Physical Normal damage.

Henry's attack hits its mark. The murkrow is visibly startled by the attack and screeches out. This screech is followed by a heavy sound of wings flapping from all of the surrounding trees. The Murkrow visibly grins, happy that it successfully baited another group of suckers into its trap and calls on his allies to all attack! BATTLE TIME! Initiative List Murkrow Horde: 16 Evasions: phys:2 spec:2 speed:3 Falon: 15 Sir glubb: 12 Murkrow 1: 11 (the one you hit) Evasions: phys:1 spec: 1 speed: 2 Murkrow Horde: 11 Merit Sol: 10 Kaelan: 10 Matchi: 10 Nithia: 10 Tiik: 10 Henry: 8 Murkrow Horde: 6 Murkrow leader takes 16 damage after defenses and takes 2 injuries from massive damage and the 50% marker. Falon's move~

Falon ignites his blade as the murder comes down on them, laughing loudly as he does so. "Now this is what I'm talking about!" He strikes the birds with a fiery slash, leaving behind some serious burns. As he strikes, he focuses all his attention on dodging and weaving, not allowing the Murkrows an easy target. His strike is fast, and somewhat hampering to the swarm Falon uses Flutter! Falon gains +3 Evasion (now at 6) and can't be Flanked until the end of the Turn Falon uses Flame Charge! AC2: 22 (+3 cause Swarm), the Murkrow Swarm is Burned, DB6: 25 Physical Fire Typed Damage Falon uses Harrier! Till the end of my next turn, the enemy is considered Slowed, Flanked and can't take Priority or Interupt Actions

Henry gulps as the swarm surrounds them, but shakes his head. Now was a time to be brave! He could do it if he tried! With a pointed finger, he indicated the swarm as he dug into his quiver for another arrow! "Sir Glubbington, use Octazooka!" With a flash of the Remoraid's eyes, a torrent of water sprayed out, impacting the Murkrows hard! Glubs uses Octazooka! AC 3: 22 (+3 due to Swarm). Critical hit! Glubs uses Sniper! Total damage: 76 Special Water Damage.

Falon's Flame Charge directly hits a number of nearby murkrow and sets the ablaze, their chaotic flying causing the flames to spread slightly to the rest. The horde takes 7 damage bringing it to 43 hp!
Following that attack, Glubs notices a rather few murkrow with their backs turned and fires directly at them. The precise hit knocks a murkrow into various others causing a cascade of murkrow to rain down nearby. The horde takes 33 more damage dropping to 10 HP!
The baby murkrow, rather upset that it was hit earlier makes a directly line for henry, using a sprint maneuver barely make it to his original assailant.
The murkrow swarm, also upset at the attack on the young one, turn their sights to henry. Henry takes 25 flying physical damage from various small Pecks.
The murkrow swarm has 3 swarm points with which to act this turn!
Initiative List:
Murkrow Horde: 16 Evasions: phys:2 spec:2 speed:3 Falon: 15 Sir glubb: 12 Murkrow 1: 11 (the one you hit) Evasions: phys:1 spec: 1 speed: 2 Murkrow Horde: 11 Merit Sol: 10 Kaelan: 10 Matchi: 10 Nithia: 10 Tiik: 10 Henry: 8 Murkrow Horde: 6
It is now Merit Sol's Turn

Merit Sol winces as Henry takes a beating from the murderous murder. 'Those cuts look really bad,' the medic thought. 'I'll have to clean those once we get an opportunity.'
Seeing an opening, Merit launches himself at the Murkrow swarm, hitting as many as he can with his worn staff. Matchi continues to hold on, the small cherry-like Pokemon's nervousness increasing when close to the Murkrow. Merit activates Flutter, and gains +3 evasion and can't be flanked until the end of the turn.
Merit uses a Struggle attack with his Worn Staff: AC5: 18 DB6: 26

"Kaelan, attack! Magical Leaf!" Falon shouts. The Snivy quickly obliges and several glowing leafs surround him for a moment, quickly darting off and homing in on the swarm. Kaelan uses Magical Leaf! Magical Leaf can't miss! DB8: 27 Special Grass Type Damage

Merit takes a small breath. "Okay Matchi, use Weather Ball on the swarm!"Despite Matchi's discomfort, he launches a white ball of energy at the Murkrow swarm. Matchi uses Weather Ball, AC(2+2-3=1): 7, and DB5: 28 Special Normal type damage
