Henry lets out a chuckle, looking around the area. Perhaps there'd be something they could use here... "Thank you very much Merit, but it was a team effort." He felt a lot easier as his wounds were healed, though Glubs seemed annoyed he hadn't been able to do much. For now, back to searching. Pickup roll 15.

After closing the last laceration and applying a cool cream on Henry's arm, Merit nodded. "True," he said. As Henry goes to search for stray items, Merit called after him. "Take it slow and easy for a few minutes; you don't want to open up those wounds until they properly seal." This reminded him of how his fellow guards would almost always open their wounds right after he fixed them. They never really learned their lesson...
Merit put his supplies away, and Matchi hopped onto his shoulder. Seeing the strange tags with the unusual script, Merit walked over to the cheerful Lunarian and asked, "What are you working on, Nithia?"

Nithia blinks up in surprise at the doctor. She wasn't used to people noticing what she was doing. "Oh, uh... I made a Cleanse Tag. They help against ghosts. Never know when you might need protection against a ghost!" She shoots Falon a suspicious glance. Why was he so interested in what she was doing... unless he was a ghost afraid of her cleanse tag! "I could make more if we took the time to, but that might take more time than everyone else wants to." She stands up and brushes herself off. "Besides, if we wait too long, all the fairies might be scared away before we can find them."

Falon jumps up once everyone seems to be ready. "Fairies? Cool! Come, let's go explore the other pathway!" Not waiting for the others to respond, Falon darts off, leaving the clearing and going to the east-way path. Kaelan keeps a careful out while Falon is storming along, only barely perceiving the area. Falon Perception: 8 Kaelan Perception: 14

Merit sighed as Falon rushed ahead. "We should move on before he gets ambushed and eaten alive by something." Before he ran after Falon, he went over to Henry and told him he should be fine now. With that done, he sprinted after the impatient fire bringer, both Merit and Matchi keeping a general eye out for strange happenings. Merit's general Perception: 7 Matchi's general Perception: 8

(Previous battle update: All trainers receive 22 exp to give to their pokemon) With the previous battle now over, the group's opportunity to rest remains uneventful. The sounds have once again calmed. Falon's exploration continues and as he makes his way back to the split, the eastern path reveals itself to be rather long. The eastern path is roughly twice the length of the path from the room to the split and creates a north-south split at the end. The south split contains yet another far too common room which, from afar, seems empty. The northern path ends somewhat far ahead, possibly making a left to connect to the right split which the group did not take. The trees continue to form these maze like paths between the various rooms you find, showing almost no discernible difference along the way. Back in the previous room, Henry's foraging proves successful as he finds a rather small clump of vitas that glows gently. As he nears it, the vitas glows a bit brighter as it forms into a small bag with Heal Powder inside. Nithia and Henry: Each of you roll an intuition check vs DC 10

Falon takes a few moments at the junction to look at both directions, quickly dismissing the northern path as it seems to loop back on the earlier path and darting off to the right, heading south to the next room, keen to explore.

Henry pockets the powder, looking to Nithia as the other two ran off. "The excitement is contagious, isn't it? I think I'd like to hang near the back this time, so I don't become another bird perch..." He chuckled, rubbing his neck, which was a bit sore from one of the more savage peckings he'd taken. He looks around before exiting the room, not quite sure they were done here. Intuition roll of 11.

Seeing Falon heading down the south path, Merit briefly stopped to grab some nearby loose branches, then placed them in an arrow shape towards the path. "That should do it," Merit muttered. Merit resumed his sprint after Falon.
"Hey, Falon!" Merit shouted. "Wait up!"

Falon keeps on running, not even looking back to the medic. "Waiting takes too long! Adventure is here NOW!"

Nithia looks up to Henry and nods, blinking, before running off after the other two. She couldn't let the ghost escape! Miraculously, she manages not to trip and fall this time, but she's not exactly running very quickly. All of her jewelry clinks and jingles as she runs, making her presence very noticeable. When she gets to the fork in the road she stops, looking both ways and breathing heavily. "So... fast..." Intuition: 12

Nithia and henry can feel massive chills up their spines. They both get a feeling that they shouldn't stick around that room for much longer. Merit and Falon are too far away to receive the same sensation. Falon's rush into the next room is slightly blinding as the trees have given way for the sun to shine brightly in his face. This room is massive, at least twice the width and length of the previous two rooms. In the far corner of this room, an odd opening into the land itself lies behind.... OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?! A massive figure shining too brightly to see lies in front of the cave like entrance into the ground. With the sun as a background, it's far too difficult to make out the creature (perception DC 20 if you want to try though).
Also Merit and Falon, give me an intuition roll DC 10. If you pass, poke-edu check: DC 10

Falon comes to a dead stop just after he entered the massive room, if for no other reason than the fact that he is almost blinded by the sudden harsh light. Squinting, he looks around the room to see what's the- "Ah-oh. That's quite big..." His standard response for finding anything strange and/or large - that is to say, go over to it and poke it with a sharp stick - is stopped by something. Maybe it's the tiny part of his mind dedicated to normal fear responses. Maybe it's the bloody and battered remains of his common sense. Maybe it's the frantic signalling from Kaelan to move back. Who knows. Either way, Falon stays put for now, not moving one way or another just yet. Intuition: 9

Shortly after Falon, Merit entered the massive room, taking a moment to breathe while shading his eyes from the sunlight. "You sure run fast, Fa--." Merit stopped when he saw that thing. He had no idea what it was or what it could be, but he just instinctively knew that it was bad business. A growing sense of terror began to well up in him, slowly burning at his will and determination. "W-what is that?" he whispered. Merit grasped Falon's shoulders. "Let's slowly back up and regroup." Merit's voice is unsteady. "Not too loud, nice and steady." With a firm grip, Merit slowly begins to pull Falon and himself back, dead set in doing so. Merit's Intuition: 10 Merit's Poke Edu.: 7

Henry quickly takes hold of Nithia's hand, the feeling crawling up his spine warranting a quick retreat. "We should go catch up with the others... And quickly." He pulled her from the room, following the path until the split, luckily noticing the small arrow on the ground, hurrying to meet up with his new friends.

Falon nods, twirling around away from Merit's grasp and heading back to the entrance of the room. "Probably a good idea, yeah. That thing's too big to take on just by the four of us, I think." He makes no concerted effort to remain quiet, though.

As the two back away from the entrance, the light in the corner fully intensifies and a massive beam of light narrowly misses frying the two adventurers. The attack sears various trees in its path creating a new (though still scorching path to the north east. An ear-splitting roar follows the attack, though the figure does not immediately move. The brightness still has not settled.

Falon almost jumps as he and Merit are almost blasted into kingdom come. That... was one massive beam of light. "Merit, I know we're trying to be quiet and all but I SUGGEST WE RUN!" Not waiting for any responses, Falon darts off, easily maneuvring past Merit and unto the northern path, ignoring the newly beaten path (which would most likely be a dead end)

For a brief moment, Merit lies still as he dumbly looks at the massive path created by the beam of light. A move powerful enough to clear a new path into the forest; what if it had hit them? Only after Falon maneuvered around him did he start moving.
The ground before him looked unsafe to run across, so Merit holds onto Matchi and leaps across the smoldering patch of earth, hitting the ground running after Falon.

Nithia gasps in surprise as she's drug along, stumbling and tripping but somehow staying upright, her jewelry jingling as they ran along. As they turned the corner, one of her necklace began resonating with energy, and her eyes widened in surprise a moment before a massive beam of light cuts through the trees, destroying the path just a small ways in front of them. Nithia clamps her hands over her ears and squeezes her eyes shut from the bright light, crouching down low to the ground. When the noises stop, she opens her eyes just in time to see the two missing party members rush towards them. She speaks up in a somewhat wavering voice, not quite sure the action is over yet. "F-found them..."
