Hsia nods, and leads the way to... actually, she's not sure where they're going or what they're looking for. But scouting out unknown territory is familiar ground to her, and she falls into old habits, turning left whenever the path offers her a choice.

The bees seem to be pretty good at formation. The first two get on both sides of the trainers, and does them with a double spray of string shot. The third, assumedly the leader, thickens it's hide for the attacks soon to come -2 speed cs for Secus and Sorin, and -1 on Parasect

Determined to stay between the bees and his companions, Secus moves to attack the insect closest to Sorin, lashing out with a quick jab, intended to surprise the bug. It manages to see the attack coming, but still takes damage as the Elf's hand connects with its thorax.
"Parasect, take the one on the right!" Secus calls to the mushroom-insect. Unfortunately, it seems Parasect was still expecting to be able to talk it out with the bees, despite their attacks, and so is unprepared for an attack. His blow misses almost comically badly.
Secus uses astonish! AC: 13 11 Ghost physical damage
Parasect uses Fury Cutter! AC: 1 Critical fail!
Secus gains a tick of temp. HP

Alfa is definitely worried, but he's no stranger to the Distral Gardens.
"D-Don't worry! I'll keep you guys safe!"
From his sleeve he pulls out the cattail from before. However, with a quick flick of the wrist, the cattail turns into a large two handed hammer wrapped in roots and flowers. The kin dashes up to the first bee and smacks it on the head with it, but as the hammer drops down, it grows what seems to be claws, and lets out a deep bellowing roar before it shreds through its opponent
next is Sorin and Mimikyu

Sorin did what would be the most appropriate response to seeing giant bees and an evil hammer thing, he ran far away from that nonsense. He turned back to give Mimikyu his support, He needed it for the sheer amount of crazy he had to deal with. "Hit as many as you can!"Sorin Shifts 7 and gives Agility and Focused Ordersto Mimikyu Mimikyu, on the other hand, decided to run in, the little guy ran up beside one of the Beedril and scratched through it, and onto the one right across from it as well. Mimikyuu Shifted 6 and used Scratch AC:2 Rolled:7 24 Normal Damage

Seeing that Alfa seems to have this bee handled, with a surprisingly intimidating mallet, Secus turns his attention to the other two. Raising his hands, he blasts a spray of acid at the remaining insects, coating them in the harsh bubbling liquid. Unfortunately, it seems to not do much damage to them.
"Worry not, Parasect. Try again!" he calls to his companion, attempting to encourage him after his first failure. This attack seems to go better, Parasect launching it with at least some aim.
Secus used Acid! AC: 14 20 special Poison damage
Parasect tries again with Fury Cutter! AC: 8 34 physical Bug damage
Secus gains a tick of temp. HP

Alfa yiped at the attack. It seemed to hurt alot. In response, Alfa's hammer morphed into a tail, shoving the bee far away from him and dealing serious damage.
Sorin and mimi's turn

Sorin moves around to get a better view of the field, He had something he could throw if he needed to help out, but that was a last resort for sure, He didn't want an evil bee on his team! He danced on his heels, making sure he was ready to run at a moments notice should they even look at him. "Go for another hit, Mimikyu!"Sorin Shifts and uses Agility! Focused Orders as a swift! Mimikyu jumps in place, rushing forward as it lands to scratch both of the bees with it's tail once more! Mimikyuu Uses Splash to jump up As it lands it uses Scratch AC: Roll:17 23 Normal Damage

The (some may say) cooler half of the party moves cautiously forward into the garden, slow enough that Moxi can tag along at Uri's heels, albeit effortfully. As Hsia leads the way in silence, Uri follows in similar fashion, donating another set of keen eyes to watch out for traps or hidden monsters. He's also fascinated by the flora, checking the foliage for berries, herbs, or any other potentially useful planty things. Perception: OebxxYaI4d6 for traps, etc.
General Ed: 5d6 for berries/herbs 4d6·5d6

In the battle, two of the bees have suffered heavy damage, but these aren't mere bees. They're soliders. Proud warriors that have been trained since their days in the hive in preparation for a situation like this. In one instance, all their training came together, AND THEY RAN AWAY, LEAVING THEIR LEADER TO FEND FOR HIMSELF two attacks of opportunity are available to parasect and mimikyu The last one was not going to stop though. He blitzs into secus, and attacks with a rage to express the amount of rage he's feeling 29 physical normal damage to secus
Fae has managed to keep his party safe from a number of severe traps, and had no problem keeping them safe. Upon investigation on the berries, Fae will notice that they are definitely NOT normal berries. None of these are edible to normal creatures. They just scream toxicity and dark magic. In fact, the very plants and shrubbery themselves are definitely not normal.

Uri quietly conveys this information to the others. "Don't touch the plants- I think there's something wrong with them. They're pretty, but that's just to lure you in- these things are toxic." The others nod their assent, and they all keep walking deeper into the garden.

Hsia nods. Not that she'd planned to eat strange fruit from a magic garden in a painting anyway, but it's good to know for sure.

Secus is pleased as they manage to scare off two of the warrior-bees. However they still have one to deal with, and his lapse of concentration results in a painful blow to his side. It is dampened somewhat by the barrier generated by his Shell Bell, but the damage lands nonetheless.
As the bee he has been fighting flees, Secus is surprised to see Parasect strike at its back. Apparently he has fully embraced the combat now. Secus turns to the final combatant, intending to pay it back in kind with a blow of his own. He jabs as he did earlier, even before he has fully turned, once again attempting to surprise the monster. It's been following his movements however, and so manages to take the blow well.
"Finish it, Parasect!" he exclaims to his partner, sure that the bee must be close to falling. This time his blow is beautifully executed, very nearly taking the insect in the throat.
Parasect launches an opportunity attack! AC: 8 32 physical damage
Secus uses Astonish! AC: 11 16 physical Ghost damage
Parasect nearly crits with Fury Cutter! AC: 19 34 physical Bug damage
Secus gains a tick of temp. HP

The two wussy beedrills barely have enough time to scream out to their bee mamas before they're knocked out by the vengeful parasect and mimikyu. The group eyes down the leader bee, who is determined to ward off this new foreign threat. However, it would seem that determination is pretty worthless when fighting 5 to 1. With a flurry of attacks from Parasect, Secus, and Alfa, the final drill of bees goes down, weary and humiliated. 60 xp for Infynis and Vivi Alfa lets out a sigh of relief as he falls back into the grass. His mallet forms back into a cattail
Meanwhile, the second party comes across a fork in the road. One route has a sign that says "road of sunshines" the other "road of death"

Sorin had no illusions that he had helped in that fight, He was just happy that they weren't buzzing after him anymore. "Thanks for saving me! I can't really fight all that well" He have a chuckle at that fact, it seemed he was the only one here that couldn't fight.
He finally decided to run up to the group, seeing as the bees were...dead? Maybe they were just unconscious? Sorin didn't really want to get close enough to check either way, and now that the danger had passed he could joke! "Oh yeah, Alfa, what's next, a flying flower?" He gave a laugh at his own joke, something like that would be so stupid, Sorin was also fairly certain that flying flowers wouldn't be even half as scary as bees.

They stop at the intersection, regarding the signs. "Road of sunshine or road of death. Hmmmm..." Uri actually considers it for a moment. He peers down each road. It doesn't help, they look indistinguishable. Then he speaks up, "Ya know, I'm thinking death right now, Moxi. A twisted place like this isn't gonna give us an easy time, no matter what. So why kid ourselves by going the 'safe' route? I'd rather be pleasantly surprised when I come out alive." It seems he's pretty amused by this.

Alfa cries to himself a bit, completely oblivious to Sorin
"It's their first day here and I've already almost gotten them killed. I'm a horrible recuiter QnQ"
