Battle Report: McKenzieCorrie conquers the hills once more. The poor girl had been left behind in the madness that was the climb over. However, the party was nowhere in sight. Alone, she plunged into the cave with the aid of Wiki, the Mareep. Deeper inside, she met the half-conscious Henry, one of the strange hooligan gang members who told her that the rest of the party had gone down a series of ropes that led deeper into the cavern.
Right before she made her descent, Henry stopped her, saying that her handhold was all wrong. By having her tie the rope around chest, he was able to save herself a lot of pain on the way down. Which, turned out to be necessary as her hand slipped nearly immediately and she still managed to get herself hurt just a little bit. Marching boldly into the cave, Corrie sprang an ambush by three of the gang members and their Pokémon. However, sounds of fighting emanated deeper from the cave...
---
McKartney's attempt to banter was cut short by the party having none of that shit. They attacked him before he could get so much as a word in otherwise. Suddenly, they were embroiled in battle. That is when he played his trap. By using some kind of sonic device, he forced his Koffing, Bomb-Nom, to evolve into a hideous monstrosity caught somewhere between the two.
Meanwhile, the ambush squadron split up, two of them going to hit the party from behind, while the other stayed and did battle with Corrie. His Woobat managed to defeat two of Corrie's Pokémon effortlessly, although he himself sustained heavy damage. His attempt to retreat was cut off by Corrie, who decided that she had it up to here with his bullshit and knocked him out. The attack invited a horrifying retribution in the form of a heavy gust to the back as Corrie fell unconscious...
Back in the main chamber, the overpowering giant took every last bit of the party's strength to defeat. Flanked by his two Voltorbs, Charger and Shocker, McKenzie confidently oversaw the battle as he smirked. In the end, it took intervention by Celesta's Clefairy in order to create an opening where by Wendy could be rescued. Thomas had only just enough time to rescue Wendy before McKartney could escape on his submarine and his thugs poured back into the room. As McKenzie began to power up the sub, Bomb-Nom's exceeding strength finally failed him as he plummeted to the ground in a pit of noxious gas and stench. McKartney couldn't help but smile. His faithful partner had served him well.
Meanwhile the thugs saw that they pretty much screwed. Again. Most of them who weren't already unconscious attempted to run for it with little to no success. The remaining Woobat that knocked out Corrie had no intention of doing so. It took Bluk's intervention to stop it from attacking his downed trainer, and Frank's Capone to take it out... Forever. A flurry of rocks took town the Woobat and it was never going to get back up now.
The battle has ended. 150 EXP awarded to split among your Pokémon! 1 Milestone Level Up Rewarded! 1 TXP to Thomas for rescuing Wendy!---
There was an overpowering fetid stench like that of death itself inside the cove. It was a left over gift from Bomb-Nom, fainted but not forgotten. The loud noise of a submarine propeller permeated the air as it descended down into the depths of water, escaping out into the ocean. McKartney was defeated, but not captured. Inside his strange submarine, you can only guess that he is gloating about his successful tests on this island and going over some kind of battle data. Although he had not achieved everything he had hoped, there was much he could learn from this experience.
Meanwhile, Thomas and Leaf were just pulling themselves up onto the stone shore of the cave. Their clothes were soaked through and through with ice-cold seawater. The jiggly limb dead feeling of Paralysis was beginning to get to Leaf, preventing him from moving fast. Wendy was on the ground next to them, still unconscious and dead to the world. Lina stood nearby, perhaps watching the submarine as it made it's retreat. Off further in the cove, Celesta had dropped down upon her knees. Her hands were clasped in prayer as she uttered something inaudible underneath her breath. Celesta seems visibly shaken by the whole ordeal. Lux floated nearby, sitting on the ground. She was too tired to fly.
Further in the dark pits of the cave, Corrie was lying on the ground unconscious while Frank stood over an equally unconscious grunt. Although he cannot fully convey or see the extent of Corrie's injuries in the darkness, his experience in hurting people has given him unique insight in knowing when people are hurt. And Corrie is hurt pretty damn badly.
He had failed his job as a bodyguard.
If you'd like to check out the overall health of any of the downed PCs and NPCs, head towards them and throw your Medicine Edu. Rank onto the thread in a spoiler.
The same goes for Charm if you'd like to figure out what is up with Celesta.
If you're going to make a request from Celesta, throw up either a Charm or a Command roll. Intimidation may also suffice in this case depending on how you word it.
