Amber wrinkles her nose in the general direction of the goo girl, frowning darker at the weird, inappropriately timed flirting. "You could just let us go," She says, tone sour and disgusted. The gun in her hands is cold and the trigger locked in place from the cold when she tries to aim it again. An unfortunate design flaw, and Amber wonders idley as she takes aim at her next target with her own fists, bouncing on the toes of her feet and diving around the corner of the concrete, if there's a way she can adjust for it.
"Topaz, go the other way--let's keep christine protected!" She calls over her shoulder. Her gaze pauses on Kat by the next target.
"You've got this, Kat!"

Though still lost in her rage, Kat is able to flash a quick grin in Amber's direction. She sees the smaller girl almost effortlessly vault off the nearby enemy, and then eyes the pair further across the room. She's about to tell Tango to keep on fighting, but the lizard seems happy to defend herself even without orders, sending another blast at the adjacent goo-fella.
Kat lunges around Amber with a snarl, flailing her hammer into the mass of the closest.

Cecil's flirtation seems to surprise the slime-girl, before a wide, manic smile stretches out across her face, far wider than a human head could contain naturally. The voice that speaks from it this time though... even over the squelching of combat, the girls can hear a male voice resonating. "It would seem that the trap has been sprung. Omega, Mew, Alpha, Foxtrot!"˫̍̋̑̔˔ˈ̡̗̝ˈ̎̍̍̔ˈ̉ˈ̊̑̍̎̚ˈ̎̔̉̍̚ˈ̗̎ˈ̘̖̉̑ˈ̛̉ˈ̛̗̍̑̍̕̕̚ˈ̡̛̝̖̌̌̍̔ˈ̛̑̍̚ˈ̝̘˖˖˖ˈ̖̉̌ˈ̜̖̐̍ˈ̛̖̑̓ˈ̊̉̋̓ˈ̗̟̖̌˔ˈ̛̛̘̖̔̉̐̑̏ˈ̗̎̎ˈ̗̎ˈ̡̗̝̚ˈ̖̑̌̕ˈ̜̉̐̍̚̚ˈ̜̖̐̉ˈ̗̟̖̖̌̑̏̚ˈ̜̑˖ˎ̛̖̘̊ˣˈ̗̝́˖˖˖ˈ̡̗̝ˈ̜̖̐̑̓ˈ̜̜̐̉ˈ̜̐̍̍̚ˈ̛̟̉ˈ̛̛̝̘̘̗̍̌ˈ̜̗ˈ̊̍ˈ̉ˈ̡̗̘̋ˈ̗̎ˈ˻̛̘̗̖̉̕ˈ̖̐̑̌̌̍ˈ̖̑ˈ̛̜̗̐̍ˈ̛̜̌̉̉̎̑̔̍˔ˈ̜̗ˈ̊̍ˈ̜̞̜̉̋̑̉̍̌ˈ̟̜̑̐ˈ̜̐̍ˈ̗̋̌̍ˈ̛̘̐̉̍̚ˈ̜̜̐̉ˈ̛̟̉ˈ̛̝̜̒ˈ̛̝̍̌˖ˎ̛̖̘̊ˣˈ˪̝̜ˈ̛̗̜̖̍̐̑̏̕ˈ̗̝̜̉̊ˈ̜̐̍ˈ̛̛̘̗̋̍̚ˈ̛̟̉ˈ̖̋̐̉̏̍̌˖ˎ̛̖̘̊ˣˈ˻̗ˈ̡̗̝ˈ̞̐̉̍ˈ˻̛̘̗̖̉̕ˏ̛ˈ̛̗̍̑̍̕̕̚˖˖˖ˈ̝̜̊ˈ̜̐̍̍̚ˏ̛ˈ̖̗ˈ̜̝̍̚ˈ̡̛̘̗̖̜̍̉̔̑̚ˈ̖̉̌ˈ̟̑̔̔ˈ̡̖̔̑̏ˈ̖̑ˈ̟̜̉̑ˈ̜̗ˈ̜̉̓̍ˈ̗̖̜̗̋̔̚˖Ø ʏʥʫɖʗʢʩʥɖʩʛʛɖʗɖʬʥʢʫʦʪʫʥʫʩɖʜʟʝʫʨʛɖʫʤʙʫʨʢɢɖʪʞʛɖʩʢʟʣʛɖʩʛʛʣʟʤʝɖʪʥɖʘʫʘʘʢʛɖʗʨʥʫʤʚɖʞʛʨɖʜʥʨʣɖʗʩɖʩʞʛɖʣʥʬʛʩɖʙʢʥʩʛʨɤɜʤʘʩʦɱɖʏʛʩɤɤɤɖʪʞʗʪɖʭʗʩɖʚʛʜʟʤʟʪʛʢʯɖʪʞʛɖɷʤʤʗʘʛʢʢʛɖʯʥʫɖʨʛʣʛʣʘʛʨɖʜʨʥʣɖʉʗʣʦʩʥʤɝʩɖʣʛʣʥʨʟʛʩɤɜʤʘʩʦɱɖʊʞʥʫʝʞɖʪʞʛʨʛɖʭʗʩɖʩʥʣʛʪʞʟʤʝɖʩʪʨʗʤʝʛɖʗʘʥʫʪɖʞʥʭɖʩʞʛɖʣʥʬʛʚɤɤɤɖʗʤʚɖʪʞʥʩʛɖʪʥʭɖʢʥʤʝɖʪʨʗʟʢʟʤʝɖʙʢʫʣʦʩɖʥʜɖʞʗʟʨɖʢʥʥʡʛʚɖʗʤɖʗʭʜʫʢɖʢʥʪɖʢʟʡʛɖʛʗʨʩɤɤɤɲʘʨɴè The two remaining melee entities don't seem too thrilled with the attack Tango just leveled at one of them. The one that had been struck reared back... and then snapped the skull encased in its tattered membrane forward, attempting to pierce Tango's snowy hide with the fangs. Instead it looses a fang from the force of the attack, while Tango manages to leap over the blow. [Bite AC 2: 5 - missed] Chassis on the other hand, gets caught up in a pincer movement that brings two pseudopods together, smashing into the mon with terrific blunt force. [Vice Grip, AC 2: 16 Physical Normal Damage: 32] Amber's unexpected entry into the fray has the blob shedding more mass, bones and debris sloughing from the thing onto the floor. It's holding together still. Barely. Meanwhile, Christine keeps up her protections on Kat, the phantasmal bandages gaining solidity once more. Clement launches his suggestion-laced yawn, which seems to actually resonate through the entire mass, causing it to quiver and shake.

One of the things finally makes its way to the spot it was aiming for, emerging a mere arm's length from Cecil... before turning it's attention on Kat and Amber. It swells up... before spewing a fine mist of green particles in a short cone. The particles stick to the skin where exposed. While to Kat they're merely an annoyance thansk to her gas mask, Amber is struck with a sudden clenching lurch in her gut as the mist reacts with the toxins she'd already inhaled in this place. Venom Drench, cannot miss, Amber take -1 CS to Attack, Special Attack, and Speed due to Lair Effect. The one near Cecil once again takes aim at Fender, sending another plume of rancid water at the little steel type. Clement is ignored in favor of Topaz, the slime spitter tracking his progress, and then spewing a spray of acid at the little mon. But the first attack splashes off of Fender's hard shell at an angle rather than pouring through the holes, while the other is adroitly dodged by the scheming Pikachu! The final remaining blob, still travelling through the tendrils on the floor squirts past Kat and Amber in a flurry of goo. It's trying to trap them! Joyce however is having none of that, ordering Primrose forward. The little bundle of vines trundles into range, before sending a shower of filaments into the tentacle of slime, causing the blob within to thrash in pain! [Mega Drain AC 2: 8; 28 Special Grass Damage] The core seems to be doing something, the slime girl smiling insanely as she quivers and jiggles, clapping her hands and now emitting a frankly terrifying girlish giggle. Kat, having no tim for details, keeps her focus on the enemy before her, finally smashing the rancid pile of bones and sludge to pieces! Cecil - 23 Topaz - 24 Tango - 20 Swarm 1 - 18 Amber - 16 Christine - 15 Clement - 15 Swarm 2 - 14 Joyce - 11 Da Core - 10 Kat - 8 Fender - 5

Beneath his gas mask, Cecil let out a strangled sound and his knife tumbled from his fingers to the floor. With shaking hands he clutched his head and stiffened to complete immobility. The din of the battlefield covered the sounds of his gasps, the wet swallows and heavy breathing that accompanied it, but an acute ear or close proximity wasn't really needed to have a feel for what he was going through. Nearby, Fender and Chassis cast nervous looks back towards their Master.
Raising it's sting threateningly, Chassis acted first, launching a volley of exploding nettles at the menacing tower of sludge and bone that had been walloping on it and Fender.

Things didn't seem to be going too poorly, when, all of a sudden, something happens to Cecil. She isn't able to fully tell what's going on from back here, but, given that he's no longer fighting... well, that's not a good sign. "Cecil!" she calls out, starting to take a step around the wall to head towards him, she what she could do. But, she realizes, as her concentration wanes, that she can't. She has to make a choice, of protecting Kat from all that surrounds her, or running up to try and fix whatever's wrong with Cecil. A wave of helplessness rises within her, because she can't help them all. But, she clamps down on it as best she can... and stays her course. It's hard. She wants to protect them all, but she's not strong enough to. But, even though she can't protect Cecil or Amber herself... hopefully Kat can. There is one thing that she can do, though. "Clement! Go help Cecil. Please." The chime glances at her, before floating off, over the retaining wall, to 'hang' next to Cecil. It turns towards the nearest threat - one of the ripping goo constructs near Amber and Kat - and tries to hold it in place, to both stop it from getting nearer, and also to help the others hit it. Christine maintains Sage on Kat.
Clement moves up and uses Telekinesis on S1-1. Auto hit. S1-1 is Lifted (Gains Levitate, is Slowed, loses all speeds except for the (Slowed) Levitate speed, and cannot apply any evasion to any attack.) Conditional: If S1-1 is taken out before Initiative 15, switch to S1-3.

Amber doesn't have time to think. She glances at Kat--"Kat, don't hold back! You've got this," She gasps out as she slides into position, narrowing her gaze at the two slime piles in a row. She takes a deep breath and raises the gun.
Topaz in the meantime takes aim at S2-2 with an angry grumble.

After so many close blows, Tango decides to lay low, pressing herself against the ground to not gather more attention.
Ghast, meanwhile, is not so keen on staying still anymore, and turns towards his mistress with a chirp. He glows silver for a moment-- and the glow transfers to Katora, who still mid-rage sidesteps Chassis and backswings towards the side-by-side enemies.
Ghast uses Helping Hand (priority) on Kat.

While Cecil is writhing in pain, Topaz zips around the battlefield, moving to flank the slime creature attempting to flank the non-combatants. With a snarl, it snaps off a blast of electricity, which shudders and shakes, but doesn't outright destroy it in one shot. The remaining two melee slimes seem to know that their number is up, one attempting to take a swipe at Amber, while the other tries to smash Kat with its skull. The one facing Amber succeeds in connecting, the initial swipe a feint as it brings a second tendril around in the other direction, catching her between the two long enough to inflict crushing pressure. Kat on the other hand is able to dodge the attack with contemptuous ease. [Amber takes 37 Physical Normal Damage before defenses from Vicegrip. Kat dodges Headbutt] Injured but still able, Amber leaps into action, literally, allowing her to vault over the two slime creatures. Taking aim with her blaster, she peppers the more damaged of the two, causing it to burble in apparent agony, before flaking away into a pile of frosty sludge. ȰɜɑɔɡțȏɨɞɤȏɝɞɣɘɒɔȏɣɗɐɣȏɝɞɣȏɞɝɛɨȏɘɢȏɐȏɢɗɐɟɔȏɒɞɜɘɝɖȏɣɞɦɐɡɓɢȏȲɔɒɘɛȏɕɡɞɜȏɞɤɣȏɞɕȏɣɗɔȏɜɐɘɝȏɒɞɡɔțȏɑɤɣȏɣɗɔȏɒɞɡɔȏɘɣɢɔɛɕȏɐɝɓȏɣɗɔȏɢɛɘɜɔȏɐɡɞɤɝɓȏɨɞɤȏɐɛɛȏɢɔɔɜɢȏɣɞȏɑɔȏɖɔɣɣɘɝɖȏɢɤɒɚɔɓȏɘɝɣɞȏɣɗɔȏɜɐɘɝȏɢɛɘɜɔȏɟɘɛɔȝȕɝɑɢɟȪȏɂɞɜɔɣɗɘɝɖȏɘɢȏɗɐɟɟɔɝɘɝɖȏɣɗɐɣȏɢɔɔɜɢȏɣɞȏɡɔɠɤɘɡɔȏɘɣȏɣɞȏɜɔɣɐɑɞɛɘɩɔȏɐȏɛɞɣȏɞɕȏɘɣɢȏɜɐɢɢȝØ ǒǨǮƙǚǥǬǨƙǬǞǞƙǭǡǚǭƙƼǞǜǢǥƙǢǬǧƠǭƙǧǞǚǫǥDzƙǚǬƙǛǚǝǥDzƙǡǮǫǭƙǚǬƙǡǞƙǬǞǞǦǬƙǭǨƙǛǞƙǢǧǝǢǜǚǭǢǧǠƧƟǧǛǬǩƴƙnjǨǦǞǭǡǢǧǠƙǞǥǬǞƙǦǮǬǭƙǛǞƙǜǚǮǬǢǧǠƙǡǢǦƙǭǨƙǫǞǚǜǭƙǥǢǤǞƙǭǡǚǭƚƵǛǫƷè The sludge pile that had taken a swipe at Kat quite suddenly finds itself lifting off the ground, it's shape rippling and contorting as it loses the ability to use the concrete to support it. Meanwhile, the ethereal bandaged on Kat regain their solidity. The smaller slimes attempt to rally, One targeting Kat with a Poison Sting while the other goes after Amber with a Water Gun. Thanks to Cecil's earlier attack by way of Slick, another is forced to emerge, and begins slithering its way towards the fight, turning it's attention on Tango to attempt to douse the reptile's flames. The final one turns on Topaz, attempting to strike the little rodent with a hail of poisonous projectiles. Amber is able to quickly and easily duck under the attack, but Tango unfortunately has no such luck, receiving a spray of water full in the face. [Amber Water gun missed, Tango takes 25 Special Water damage before defenses] Both Topaz and Kat take hits from the attacks directed at them unfortunately. Kat in her rage barely feels pricks, the etheral bandages and thick armor dulling their impact and keeping any toxins from seeping into her bloodstream. Topaz manages to mitigate the worst of the strike but those needles that do hit strike true and deep, delivering their payload into his small body, wracking him with pain as it starts to eat away at him. [Kat takes 19 physical Poison damage before defenses. Topaz takes 15 Poison Damage before defenses, is poisoned and receives a Festering Injury] Joyce begins to say something, before clutching at her head with one hand. Her pupils are dilating and gaining a minor green coloration, even as she seems to struggle against some unseen force, stumbling towards the main mass at the center of the room. "Hraaargh!" Primrose, not sure what's happening with her trainer, turns her attention to the nearest enemy, firing off a series of strikes from her vines! They barely connect, but it's still enough to put some damage onto her target! The core seems to be trembling now, and the dark shapes within are moving, each one seeming to stretch as if waking. The slime girl extension has disappeared completely now. The dark shape closest to the edge finally emerges from the tear Cecil had opened in the membrane... and it's a woman, her skin a light tan, dark orange hair coated in slime making the lighter cream streak stand out further, the goo steaming as heat seems to waft off of her. Her clothing is tattered and worn, still keeping her relatively decent as she steps forth. The slime under her foot bubbles and dries to a thin film with a soft hiss, while thin tendrils lead back into the mass still, like a puppet on strings. Her movements are unnaturally smooth as she seems to take in the combatants before her, mouth opening to reveal a fanged smirk. [Unknown entity has entered the battle.] "Oh, my poor baby, don't worry. It'll all feel better soon. Momma will make sure of that..." she coos towards Cecil, before looking in Amber's direction. "But first these naughty girls need to be put in time out." Kat, caught up in her frenzy, doesn't notice the emergence of this new entity, even as her hammer tears through the two slimes before her, ultimately turning them to shivering mounds of worthless goo under the power of her hammer. Chassis, seeing his initial target taken down, gives a grunt of annoyance, before turning and targeting the slime right next to Amber. It riddles the thing with spines, and it seems to be on the verge of a full collapse now. Cecil - 23 Topaz - 24 Amber - 16 Christine - 15 Clement - 15 Swarm 2 - 14 Joyce - 11 Da Core - 10 Kat - 8 Redhead - 6 Fender/Chassis - 5

"Ah... Annabelle." Cecil groaned in a breathy appreciation for the woman standing before him, staggering forward one step at a time. He wheezed in the tight confines of his mask, and tore his mask free to reveal his sweaty, flush face, a sick but triumphant expression expression there. During the movement to draw the attention away from his hands, the number of Pokeballs hanging from the bandolier at his chest went from six to five, the remaining slid up his sleeve now with not a soul the wiser.
Leaning in he offered the mutated woman a firm squeeze of the shoulder, both in affection and for her support. "Try not to hurt them too badly getting them into a corner." He offered with a smirk, pausing before the oozing section of membrane, posture slack. With a shuddering breath, he pushed into the breach. Dark orange light, red filtered through the green, flared through the membrane. The silhouette that was Cecil twisted suddenly and violently, his back to whatever was happening.
(Releasing Slick at the center of the Core. Slick uses Magnitude for 56 Ground Physical in a Burst 2.)

There's a series of brilliant flashes of light within the core, as shockwaves wrack the slime pile. With a sudden scream of pain, rage and loss echoing from within, the three remaining slime piles collapse, as does the woman that had just exited, her eyes losing their green glow and going completely lifeless. The culmination of the attacks is a massive explosion that blows the top half of the slime pile away. Floating in the goo are a number of female forms, their skin a rainbow of colors, sporting fins, furn, feathers and scales. And all of them with staring dead eyes, just like "Anabelle". But at the center is something that's very much alive. And very, very angry. YOU MOUTH-BREATHING ANNELID! I MADE YOU! I AM YOU! I DON'T KNOW HOW THE ENGRAM WAS CORRUPTED BUT I ASSURE YOU YOU WILL LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE ME TAKE YOUR LITTLE GROUP AND BREAK THEM INTO MY NEW PETS! MY NEW VANGUARD!

Sampson's rage filled words aren't met with Cecil's usual crassness, with the membrane heavily compromised and a lot of the supporting tissues in disarray, it sags by the second. Though he still appears to be breathing, Cecil is bleeding from the nose, ears, and mouth, the concussive waves having severely injured his sensitive external tissues and no doubt caused some manner of internal damage as well. Slick, Fender, and Chassis watch their master settle quietly, as Sampson's scream fades into the halls.
(Cecil drops to -3 HP, and takes 3 Injuries, to a total of 5 Injuries.)

All of a sudden, Christine remembers where she'd seen that slime before. Quickly, she turns back to Joyce, just in time to see her odd behaviour. Things start to click... and she starts to move towards Joyce, just in time for the slime pile in the middle to explode. In addition to the figure, there's several bodies lying on the floor. Including Cecil's. Her breath catches in her mouth, as her mind races, and her concentration falters. She releases Bones, calling to the Chansey to "Get Cecil back up, if you can," though he seems to be taking a moment to get his bearings. Clement, on the other hand, is taking his mandate of protecting Cecil fairly seriously, diving towards the new figure, and crashing into him with a blinding release of energy. Encouraged by Amber, he manages to recover quickly enough to do it again. Christine, having done what she could for Cecil from afar, quickly turns her attention back to the immediate matter at hand, Joyce. She moves up to the other woman, putting a firm hand on her shoulder. "Don't listen to him," Christine says, in a forceful tone of voice. "I know you're strong. You can fight it. Don't let him win."Christine uses her Standard action to Release Bones. Command on Joyce: 19
Clement uses Last Resort on Sampson. 8 vs AC 2 for 58 Special Normal Damage. Strike Again Last Resort on Sampson. 17 vs AC 2 for 50 Special normal Damage.

Kat watches the slimes in front of her fall to her hammer-- then all of the rest of them fall, too. She looks around, rage subsiding, trying to understand what just happened, and then sees Cecil's limp form on top of that awful goo, near-- What on earth was that?Kat rushes forwards, unable to reach Cecil, though she was confident that Christine would be on top of that problem in no time at all. She stops to catch her breath behind Clement, eyeing the strange, terrifying man roaring at them from the core of the slime. Her injuries ached, but there was no time to worry much about them, so as he spoke she scooped up some of the goo and rubbed it on her burns and bruises. If nothing else, it would numb the pain until they could finish this for good. Ghast, seeing his mistress stopping for a break, squeaks and performs a switch, sending out Rosco instead. The little black fox materializes just outside the slime, taking a moment to get his bearings. Kat moves up (as seen on map) and uses Aqua Ring.
Ghast initiates a switch, sending out Roscoe.

Several things happen too fast for Amber to react. The hit stuns her, and when she looks up, dazed, to see what Cecil is doing and the emergence of the strange new figures, she's distracted by a sensation of wetness that spills down her pants from something cracking in her pocket. She reaches to feel what it is and something small and green slips between her clumsy fingers. She gapes in vague confusion, but gets distracted from it as enemies converge.
"Clemont! Do that again!" She calls over the din of battle. Something clicks in the back of her mind about the battle and she pauses instead of striking at the slime balls. "And...Kat, Clemont, Topaz--don't miss."
Amber uses standard+swift to Strike Again! Clemont, and apply focused to Kat, Clemont, and Topaz using battle conductor. She uses her shift to Splash.
Topaz dives into the mess, sparking angrily, and launches what is probably a useless Electroball. bHqCSsY31d20+1 to hit 2d6+49 Electric, Special, if it does damage subtract speed stat also.1d20+1·2d6+49

Topaz is first into the fray, slinging an orb of pure electrical energy straight at the revealed... thing. It would be incorrect to call it a man, or a pokemon now. But some horrific amalgamation of both. The attack strikes, sinking deep into the creature's slime-covered body... before erupting in a spray of ooze, sparks... and a spary of blood where scales are torn off and blasted apart by the energy. "GAAAAAH! DAMN THIS MUTATION! I WILL RIP YOUR WORLD ASUNDER FOR THAT RAT, STARTING WITH YOUR TRAINER! BUT FIRST..." It turns to look down at Slick, eerie purple glowing lines beginning to pulse across its body... before two of its segmented arms suddenly merge to form a pair of proto-mouths, which bathe the fish in purple-black flames, attempting to broil the little fish to death. While painful, it looks like Slick has survived... for the moment. [Sampson used Dragon Breath. AC 2: 16, 41 Special Dragon damage] Unfortunately, this focus on the Cecil's mon allows for the unassuming Clement to get the drop on him, the little windchime striking with a force far greater than its deceptive size would imply. The first strike cracks the breastplate of scales that Topaz had torn into. The second strike sundered it, taking two of the mutant's multiple arms with it in a scream of agony and a spray of foul blackened blood. Joyce lays in the muck, her expression dazed even as Christine's command rings clear. She struggles to rise, hands slipping on the slick surface before finally managing to find purchase. "I don't know what you did... but thank you." Primrose chirrups happily to see that her trainer is up and about, before scurrying away from the malignant mass of slime and rage that is seeming to swell with power. Kat uses Sampson's distraction to allow her to close with the thing, feeling a tingle as the slime coats her wounds... one that has a strange rippling sensation, moving outwards from an especially bad gash on her arm and seeming to "bounce" through her entire body. "YOU IMPUDENT C**TS! I WILL SHATTER YOUR MINDS AND SHAPE YOUR BODIES TO MY EVERY WHIM! I SHALL BE AS YOUR NEW GOD!!!" Sampson is working itself into a frothing rage as it raises itself up... before smashing downward and throwing up a wave of debris at the closest opponents to it. However Slick merely rides the top layer of slime like a surfer on a wave, while Clement lifts over the attack completely with a merry little jingle. Topaz - 26 Amber - 16 Sampson - 16 Ros - 15 Christine - 15 Slick - 15 Clement - 15 Joyce/Primrose - 11 Bones - 10 Kat - 8 Sampson Followup - 6 Fender/Chassis - 5

Christine helps Joyce up, saying "You'd have done the same for me. I wasn't about to let him do anything to you." Any further conversation is cut off by Sampson ranting and crashing about. Christine turns and yells back, "You're no god. All you do is take what already exists and pervert it into misery." Christine's emotions are running rampant as she continues, "I don't expect that you're even capable of understanding that at this point, if you ever were. All you've done is hurt people. But, you're not. Doing. That. Here." She's getting a different feeling this time within her. Similar to when she'd been protecting Kat earlier, but... different. Not caring what happens, she grabs hold of the feeling and lets it spread through her body. She barely registers that she's surrounded by a bright glow, which dims as it diffuses to the others - though, not Sampson. Blinking, she rests a hand on Joyce's shoulder, telling her, "Stay strong, and stay here. If they need me, I'll need to be closer. but I don't want you putting yourself in danger." With that, she slips around the barrier, towards the fighting. Clement, exhausted after the two attacks, just jangles in midair, rebuilding its store of energy. Bones, though, finally got his bearings, and makes his way over to Cecil. He takes a moment to look at the prone trainer, before grabbing an egg and forcefully feeding it to Cecil. It seems more energy based this time, though, and less directly nutritious. Christine uses Light Screen.
Bones uses Soft Boiled on Cecil. Cecil regains 50% of his HP.

I'm not going to say it was damage, but it was damage.

Cecil writhed in the goop as Bones forced the softboiled egg into his mouth. Given the environment it shouldn't come as a surprise, having anything forced into you would be terrifying in this place. Bolt upright a second later, he took in a wet gasp of air, making eye contact with his grumpy would-be caretaker. Bones grunted. Cecil grunted in response. It was a meaningful conversation.
Everything hurt, a high pitched whine had paired itself with the rest of the signs of battle. With all of the raving, and the dark scorch marks on Slick, Cecil could only guess the bleeding monstrosity was Sampson himself. There was a wet rattle with each breath the greaser took when he found his footing with surprising quickness even despite his injuries. A heavy, wet cough, rife with phlegm, and Cecil took a step forward. He drew the stuff up into a thick wad of blood, bile, and mucus. Wordlessly he spat it into Sampson's face, smirking despite how woozy he looked. "Check me out Slick, I'm a Pokemon."
The Barboach seemed to approve of the notion, making a similarly wet sound in it's throat before launching an exploding gob of mud into Sampson's midsection.
(Cecil shifts adjacent to Sampson and uses the Blind Dirty Trick at 10, Blinding Sampson for one full round, rendering him vulnerable and giving him a -6 on all Accuracy Checks. Slick follows it up with Mud Bomb at Init 8 due to Paralysis halving his speed, barely connecting for 39 Ground Special after disengaging one square.)

Kat feels Sampson's words in her bones, along with a strange twisting feeling in her gut--or more accurately, all across her body--that causes her to seize up briefly. It's only when she sees Cecil trying to struggle back to his feet ( what an idiot boy, STAY DOWN!) she grinds her teeth and surges up beside him, swinging at Sampson with a desperate flail of her weapon. On Sampson's far side, Rosco attacks with a well-aimed strike, chirring a growl and staying low. Flail AC3: C4h68NAR1d20 for 4d10+43 normal physical.
Rosco's Feint Attack auto hits, rolling for Crit: 1d20 for 2d8+28 dark physical. 1d20·4d10+43·1d20·2d8+28

Amber wrinkles her nose. "If you're going to be a pokemon, make sure you hit!" She calls out, gesturing to Cecil, Topaz, and Slick. "And do it hard!"
Topaz attempts to make another attack, seemingly frustrated by the threat to Amber.
Amber shifts as close as she can to Sampson. She uses her shift and standard to apply focused and agility orders to topaz, cecil, and slick. Topaz uses thundershock. 8zcEga_O1d20+1 To Hit 2d6+29 Special, Electric 2d6+8 Crit Bonus1d20+1·2d6+29·2d6+8

As the group rallies, Topaz strikes off a massive bolt of electricity that surges through the mutant's form, apparently lucking out to strike one of the nerve/wire tendrils that the grotesque puppeteer had used to control his "harem". Sampson doubles over, shuddering and spasming as electrical energy arcs over his body, slowing his reactions to a crawl. This gives Roscoe ample opportunity to strike at the beast and remove another arm, before a revived Cecil spits directly in the monstrosity's face.
Sampson HOWLS in agony as he's blinded, his remaining three limbs clawing desperately to clear his vision, before Slick's attack snaps another of the desiccated arms away. And then Kat descends on him with the fury of a Valkyrie, her hammer punching into the thing's chest, causing a spray of black gore as Sampson's eyes begin to gutter, the unholy green light that had been filling them flickering out. One of his hands reaches out, attempting to caress Kat's cheek, before it falls limp, a tortured sentence wrung from a dying corpse. "It would have been... b̸̟͇̥̪̲͍̪̪e͎̪̰̘a̡͇͎̖͖̣̟u̡͙͖ṯ̸̴̨̘̥i̷͈̱̰͍̼̘͕̱̭f͚̀͟ư̧͉̯̭̲͘l̢̥̪̮̳̬̫.̡̝̯͢͜.͙̹͉͡.͔̹̩̻̺̺͘͞
With that... the monster is dead; leaving you all standing in the offal of his shattered, twisted dream.
