FINALLY THE EVENT

WELCOME TO THE RELIC CASTLE

I shall be your guide and snarky narrator - replying to most comments with a bit of humour - acting as your Game Master for this adventure though this castle. The goal? To explore and find the Dark Stone. There are seven stories, and you will need to get to the bottom. Please note that if we don't wrap this up by Halloween, the Pokemonfication event will still be happening.

How this is gonna work? There's gonna be comments down there. When somebody solves the floor, then the next floor will go up. Simple? I sure hope so!

Also throwing up this one now when people feel like moving on down - still lots of stuff distracting me IRL.

Welcome to the second floor. I'm guessing there's two different ways you got here. If you fell - then owie for you. When you're out of this, you may need to check out your buttweesimos. But for now, you'll need to continue your adventure down and worry about that later.

HOWEVER. There's a Krookodile in the way, guarding the way back up! Oh noes! It's at level 45 (!!!), and it's ready to fight! I hope you're ready to fight back, too. For those of you who are observant, you may notice that there's something stuck in it's tail. It hurt and mad, bro - you could either defeat it or try and remove that object. [Note that it can't be captured - if you do try and throw a Pokemon, it'll either rip it apart or swallow.]

[N fell. He has the natural grace of royalty, I tell you.

It takes him a moment to recover from his rather spectacular tumble, but there's nothing like impending danger to keep you moving quickly. He gets to his feet once he sees the Krookodile, and calls his Pokemon to him. The Krookodile obviously overpowers his current team, but there doesn't seem to be any other way out.

Thankfully, being observant is a specialty of his; he notices the damage done to the Pokemon's tail, and immediately understands. Now, if he can just immobilize it...]

Zorua... can you distract it? [The fox Pokemon quickly shields herself in an illusion-- the form of Sigilyph-- and makes a dash for the Krookodile.] Sigilyph, Hypnosis! [The real Sigilyph gives an affirmative chime and heads for the Krookodile as well, from a different direction, sending out the attack.

~~N versus an overpowered Krookodile. JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.~~]

Of course, it's not going to be that easy. In fact, it's going to be a lot harder then that - the Krookodile in question is moving, even now.

And, so, the Hypnosis misses. However, the Krookodile is looking between the two Sigilyth as it moves though the sand. Who should be defeated first... it seems unable to decide what to do. However, it doesn't seem to be standing still, either way.

[N grits his teeth. Of course that strategy would be too easy. He can't allow his Pokemon to be caught in the line of danger much longer.]

Sigilyph, Hypnosis again! Keep your distance, comrades. [And as Sigilyph makes a second attempt at the attack, N decides to throw himself into the fray. He makes a beeline for the Krookodile, trying to make his way toward its tail while it's distracted. If he can just get by without being noticed...]

Sadly, the virtual die I just rolled says this won't work.
Yes, I am using an RNG for this. Shut up.
Anyway, that tail might have been grabbable - if the Krookodile didn't use Dig! It's underground now, ready to strike anything which it can. Where could it come out? What could it be attacking?

However, it barely dodged that Hypnosis.

Ah! [He should have foreseen that possibility.

His first course of action is to return his Pokemon to their Pokeballs; their attacks have been ineffective, and he just can't risk their safety. His eyes dart about, searching for a sign of the Krookodile's approach.]
Krookodile, listen to me! I can see that you are in pain, and I can help you if you allow me to! [But he'd rather not lose a limb in the process. He sets off at a run, just to keep himself moving. Greater chance of avoiding the impending attack that way.]

Estelle hummed merrily as she skipped down the steps, before noticing the large... and very angry Krookodile, and someone else in trouble!

"Oh noooo! A-are you ok!?" Estelle called out to N.

A running target, or a still target? Now, which one would Krookodile prefer to attack?

If you answered Estelle, you'd be right. Sorry, but the beast is bursting out of the ground behind you.

[...Also, Emmet is just watching, watching how everybody fights. He's almost blending into the sand.

Because he has covered himself in it a little.]

[Thomas's unenthusiastic descent down the staircase behind Estelle meant that he was perfectly poised to be completely cut off by the Krookodile bursting through the ground.] Good lord!

[He very gracefully stumbles back and trips, falling on his bum on the stairs.] Miss Heurassein! N!? [His instinctual reaction is, of course, to reach for his gun, and it takes him a few micro-seconds of processing time to remember that his gun is useless. Thankfully, his Teddiursa is rushing recklessly down the stairs towards the Krookodile, and, seeing that, a new set of instincts kicks in.] Dodger, stop! You can't -- Oh! Use... Use Yawn, Dodger!

"Eh!?" Estelle cried, stumbling forward as the Krookodile appeared behind her.

"Gyaaaa!" But wait! What was this! Her little golden Barboach sent itself out from its Pokeball to protect his dearest mommy!

"Piko! Wait it's too strong!" Estelle called out, scared for her Pokemon's life.

"Baaaar, boach!" Piko cried out angrily, slapping out mud toward the Krookodile's eyes.

CRIPES, YOU GUYS /let's try N > Krookodile > Thomas > Estelle??

[It is probably the least elegant entrance in Miror B.'s illustrious history of elegant entrances, but, considering the small avalanche of sand and the unknown distance he had to fall, landing on even one foot is pretty impressive. He hops awkwardly, trying to prevent an all-out stumble, and, as quickly as he can manage it, stands up straight.

Coolly, he removes his shades and shakes his head, dislodging a cloud of sand from his afro. He wipes the shades clean with his scarf, replacing them before peering around his new surroundings.

It takes less than a second to notice the Krookodile. Miror frowns and pulls two Pokeballs from his pocket, keeping a wary eye on the angry Pokemon. Luckily it seems to be guarding the way up, which is fine with Miror. That'll definitely give people trouble following them.] Resix? Haven't lost you yet, have I, darling? [He quickly glances around for Proto Man.] Get looking for the way to the next floor, I'll keep this brute busy.

[Proto Man's here, alright. He's noticed the Krookodile, too, and he's taken a defensive stance in case it decides to move. At least, that's what it looks like. In reality, he's planted his shield into the ground and he's using it for support.

On Miror'a command, he nods and pulls his shield up. Finding an exit shouldn't be too taxing, right?]

[Miror spares a curious glance toward's Proto Man's shield. When did Cipher come up with that little bit of technology? It wasn't too strange, really, Cipher had come up with all sorts of clever little gadgets. Anyway, no time to think about it.

With an excited grin, he releases his two Lombre and points dramatically at the enemy.] Ready, lovelies? Lefty, Righty; both of you use Fake Out!

Fake Out - a good move, Miror B..

The move strikes, of course - making the Pokemon flinch.

Trotting out from the last step, Stocking took a moment to... not give a shit about the architecture as there was, as Toph had sensed beforehand, a Pokemon down here.

And it looked angry.

"Heh, this big enough for you, Earth Girl?" Stocking teased her partner, kicking off one of her shoes and pulling down her right sock.

In an instant, she warped it into the Stripe sword form.

"Ready?"

"Alright! Giant angry lizard thing!" Toph cleared the last few steps and landed solidly on the ground, entering a fighting stance. Wait, what did Stocking just do? None of what she sensed her companion do just then made any sense, but somehow she had a sword now. The Krookodile was distracting enough for her to not mention it just yet but she made a note to ask about it as soon as the dust settled. "Ready!"

"Loki let's go! Hang on tight!" Stocking called out, sending out her Gothita, who spun and immediately perched herself on Stocking's shoulder. Stocking dashed to the side, brandishing her blade and circling the Krookodile, looking for an opening.

"Uh... what was it again? Confusion!" Stocking told her Pokemon, who replied by sending a wave of psychic energy toward the opponent.

"Earth Girl! Can you trip it up or something?" Stocking called to her partner, still wary of the Krookodile.

"Right!" Toph maneuvered forward a few steps, holding her hands stiff before sharply slicing one to the side. The motion was intended to manipulate the ground directly beneath the Krookodile's feet, sliding it quickly in one direction like pulling the rug out from under him. It was somewhat of a challenge resisting the urge to pull huge chunks of rock out of the walls and hurl them at the Krookodile, but she didn't want to destroy anything that might be important.

Of course, the confusion just slides off of the Krookodile - leaving it defenseless to dodge the land moving under it, sadly. With a roar, it started to dart straight forward, towards Toph.

"Oh no you don't!" Stocking yelled, dashing along the sand and bringing her blade up to intercept the Krookodile's attack.

"...Wha?" Stocking blinked, noticing something in the Krookodile's tail.

Aah! Time for Plan B! Toph stood her ground as the Krookodile began running towards her, lowering herself into a blocking stance. She readied her fists and was about to raise the stone in front of the Krookodile so that it would run into it, but Stocking had already moved to intercept it. Toph darted to the side to seek another angle of attack.

"What is it!?" she called over to Stocking. From what she could sense, nothing confusing had happened. Toph lifted her hands, raising the top layer of sand in a broad circle around her feet. She brought her fists together sharply and compressed the sand into a sizable rock, then thrust her palm forward, flinging the rock towards the Krookodile's head.

That rock hit! And, lucky for you, the Pokemon flinched - growling as it rubbed at where the rock hit.

"There's something in it's tail!" Stocking called out, bringing back her sword as she dashed past the Krookodile and lunged for the object.

"I'm gonna take it out! Loki! Confusion! Pry that thing out!" Stocking called out, attempting to grasp whatever was stuck inside the Krookodile's tail.

And if that didn't work, Stocking's Gothita was working on pulling it out with her psychic powers.

[CRASH.] Owww...

[That was an exciting drop. By 'exciting', of course, we mean 'pitfalls are really really stupid.' Her fishy companion ought to be following any time now—the two members of her cat posse have already dropped down with her, landing on their feet as cats do.]

You guys okay? That was a purrety purrcarious dr— [wait oh my god that is a really big crocodile eridan where did you go]
