Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes, I made a macro that resets the timer.
	Natasha: 	Why do you get to cheat and I don't? ;-;
June Oliver must wait 28.332 seconds before it may move again!
Kaorin Sakura: 	So take backs are now possible~
DNA: 	Because letting me cheat is a horrible idea.
Blondelle Champagne: 	30 seconds, jeez that is long
	Natasha: 	This is quite true.
DNA: 	It's always been 30 seconds.
DNA: 	Even though, realistically, it should be more like 10.
Kaorin Sakura: 	I THINK I can change it somewhere.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Well, it's there to allow the GM to do things.
Blondelle Champagne: 	true
Kaorin Sakura: 	So PCs don't just zip around the board while you're typing up a message about a thing happening.
Blondelle Champagne: 	maybe a macro that turns movement on and off (for the gm) would be a good idea
* DNA feels eyes boring into his back.
DNA: 	I know it's because I can type up a message about a thing happening AND zip across the board.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Is everyone ready and stuffs?
DNA: 	No.
DNA: 	I mean, I don't know.
Chloe: 	yus
Blondelle Champagne: 	i am
Rochette: (( ready ))
DNA: 	In that case, yes!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cools.
DNA: 	And I have to leave essentially at 9pm (Pacific), to sleep.
Last time we left our heroes, they had just sexually frustrated half of the opposing Litwick party!
DNA: 	psssssshahahahahah
Back to the action!
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"We're ready to go!" Blondelle said, trying to galvanise the group.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Are we?"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She blinked audibly.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded, "If they'll let us through."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Please let us through, candle people," she said, hoping to get through this without sustaining more injuries.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	The gashes on her body hurt a lot.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Gimme a charm.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Or command.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Like, I mean, they were deep and bloody. And damn.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Or intimidate.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	They hurt so bad.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	It was really painful.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Like, so so painful.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Ahem.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Charm:
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+3 => 7 + 3 = 10
	Blondelle Champagne: 	It was difficult ot be charming when you were covered in blood and gashes.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Interrupt!
Hitomoshi: (( You have an interrupt for this? ))
Hitomoshi: (( Well, uh, go ahead then. ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Yes))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe whispered to Blondelle, "Turn slightly, it'll hide your injuries." ((Let me help you with that. Reroll Charm with +3 ))
	Natasha: 	Natasha loses 0 hit points.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle Champagne loses 0 hit points.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle Champagne is healed and gains -9 hit points.
	Natasha: 	Natasha is healed and gains -1 hit points.
DNA: 	how am I losing 1 HP?
Rochette: (( Injuries. ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle turns sideways as per Chloe's instruction.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Thanks girl!" she says.
DNA: 	oh. weird.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"So yeah, please let us pass Mister Candles."
Rochette: (( Ava, did you drop your newly statted tokens in Caverns? ))
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+6 => 15 + 6 = 21
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(woo!)
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(they got my good side )
Avara: 	newly statted? these are the ones that were there when i logged in
Avara: 	if a restatting was required, i'm sorry i missed the notification. some familial frustrations are distracting.
DNA: 	minor at most. I think it was just inputting evasions in. That was the only one that mattered.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Not restatting, re-entering stats on tokens))
Avara: 	... actually, in terms of familial obligations i may need to step away at some point
Kaorin Sakura: 	What Rob said.
Avara: 	okay, tokens fixed
	Rochette: 	Rochette loses 0 hit points.
Avara: 	health bar fixed
	Blondelle Champagne: 	'inputting evasions in' (DNA being redundant rare rare rare
DNA: 	...it's not rare at all
	Blondelle Champagne: 	rare rare rare redundant redundant redundant
DNA: 	you clearly haven't been around me to be around me very often.
	Hitomoshi: 	"Hah! I te mea i pai matou!"
	Hitomoshi 3: 	"... Nah. Kia tatā o."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"What are they saying?" she asks.
	Hitomoshi: 	"Hah! I te mea e tatou i noho!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Kia ta-ta oh."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She tries to speak their language.
The Litwick suddenly vanish from sight.
	Rochette: 	"They're probably waiting as a trap."
	Rochette: 	"Or about to ambush us."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Intuition, to see if they're still in the area: 12
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Mystic Senses as well, if that matters.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Maybe..." Chloe looked around. Perception 9
	Rochette: 	((perception, much of the same)
	Rochette: 	7
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Perception:
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+3 => 8 + 3 = 11
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Intuition:
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 2d6+3 => 11 + 3 = 14
	Natasha: 	Intuition also: 14
DNA: 	whyyyyyyyyyy
	Blondelle Champagne: 	git gud
	Roland: 	16 intuition
Hitomoshi whispers: Give me a d20 roll
DNA: 	tell maptools to git gud then
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: 20
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: TITS YES
Hitomoshi whispers: Fuck.
Hitomoshi whispers: Roll a d106
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Guys. I think we're safe."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She smiles.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"I think they're gone." Chloe does give a look to the faint, hiding redish light in the corner of the cave.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: 37
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She moves forward.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Wait!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I'm not so sure..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hm?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I'm not so sure if they're gone yet. They could just be hiding. They did that before, remember?"
Hitomoshi whispers: You notice an item on the ground radiating with great aura. You find TM37.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Any news on the Litwick?
Hitomoshi whispers: You don't see any other presence of strong aura.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Maybe. But they seemed trustworthy. All they need was a little convincing."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I'm not sure if they're still here. I don't think so, but still, be on guard."
	Rochette: 	"Before they disappeared they were saying stuff like 'Why would we?'"
	Natasha: 	"Ik denk dat ik iets gevonden!" Natasha was holding some kind of disk.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Maybe they were saying 'whey would we hurt'?"
* Saturn Rosewell examined it. It appeared to be a TM37 (Sandstorm). She pocketed it.
	Rochette: 	"They weren't. They were laughing at you."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"They seemed like peaceful, loving creatures."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle looked sad.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Why are you always so mean to pokemon, Rochette?"
	Rochette: 	"... What do you mean? I'm translating what they were saying and doing for you."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Yeah, but you were take things in the worst way."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"It's possible they were laughing WITH me."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"We should walk forward either way. If they're honest, they wont fight. If they weren't we aren't in any more trouble than when we first came down."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"There is a difference between laughing with and laughing at. If Rochette is as fluent in Pokemon here as she claims, she would know the difference."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe began to step into the hut, and walk through the far door. She was worried she might be attacked, but the lingering words of Nylora calling her a hero brought her a sense of courage she hadn't known before.
	Rochette: 	"Let's see... in human tongues, it would go like..." she puts her hands on her hips. "Ha! Why would we?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Regardless, I agree with Chloe. We shouldn't stick around here."
Chloe Blanchett must wait 27.76 seconds before it may move again!
Wineberry must wait 27.775 seconds before it may move again!
* Saturn Rosewell and Natasha followed behind Chloe.
Hitomoshi: (( Can has move ))
	Roland: 	Roland goes up 1 meter(s).
Roland must wait 2.174 seconds before it may move again!
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Fine." Blondelle frowned at Rochette.
Rochette must wait 1.44 seconds before it may move again!
	Rochette: 	"It would be nice if they were actually being cooperative. I just don't assume every time they say something it's friendly. We were lucky to half their numbers as it is."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe smiled to Blondelle, "It might be a good idea to trust her intuition. She's been doing this a lot longer. We're... not wanted here. It's good to be worried. "
	Wineberry: 	Wineberry had been experiencing new things since she first found herself in the warm comfort of the friend ball. She had previously been a part of the mission to keep humans away, but even she didn't know about these caves and what secrets were here... was this the life of a pokemon adventurer?
DNA: 	I AM AN ADVENTURER *flowing hair*
* Saturn Rosewell kept her eyes peeled; Perception 10
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Okay, Chloe," Blondelle nods, smiling at her.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe continued her footsteps, a slower pace so all could keep up. It seemed Blondelle and herself were taking the frontlines, in favor of putting the injured Rochette into danger.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	As she moved further down, Chloe kept herself attentive. Perc 13
The narrow sand-coated walkway suspended above the deep waters below. Before long you can hear the resonate sound of humming. The hum was rhythmatic, like a song and its voice was definitely female. The waters begin to shallow around the walkway and leads into the walls, where a cave entrance led.
DNA: 	I think the word you're looking for is 'rhythmic'
	Blondelle Champagne: 	i like rhythmatic
Kaorin Sakura: (( I've never even heard of rhythmic before. o.o ))
DNA: 	It is the word you're looking for.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	both are fine
DNA: 	Speaking of which, we CAN hear the song, right?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	General Education to recognize 10
Rochette: (( is it the shrine of amana song? ))
	Natasha: 	Gen Ed also! 14
Kaorin Sakura: 	No.
DNA: 	why
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Poke Ed:
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+2 => 13 + 2 = 15
	Blondelle Champagne: 	does it sound like a pokemon?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Neither of you recognize the song.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"It sounds like it might be a PokeMon."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe shrugged, but listened. Perhaps in a different setting she might have liked it, but with her surroundings it could only sound eerie to her...
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Perception: 6 - Where's it coming from?
	Rochette: 	11 to identify what sort of pokemon it could be.
	Rochette: 	poke know
Kaorin Sakura whispers: The sound seems to echo out from the cave entrance.
	Roland: 	12 same reason
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Which would be behind us?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: No, the one you just discovered ahead.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Perception:
	Rochette: 	She trades a few words with roland. "We can't tell what sort of pokemon it'd be, if it is one."
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+3 => 8 + 3 = 11
Kaorin Sakura: 	What're you perceiving?
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Direction of singing.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...Whatever it is, I think we're walking towards it... One of Nylora's friends, perhaps?"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle nods, "Possible."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"I don't trust lyrical pokemon... they can do strange things to your mind."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"It sounds like it's coming from the cave entrance in front of us."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Should I assume people are going to enter or...?
	Blondelle Champagne: 	yes
	Blondelle Champagne: 	well, i am
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Yes.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	and the teddy is
Avara: 	going forth at the back of the group
Kaorin Sakura: 	Okay. Just know that unless you guys interact with the descriptions I give I assume nothing.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe is going foward, if there is a split in the path she'll stop, but otherwise slow enough that everyone's together, just slightly behind June.
Kaorin Sakura: 	I don't want to do forced story.
* Saturn Rosewell will be entering with the others.
Avara: 	... afk. if stuff comes up like combat, skip my turns. hopefully my presence won't be required.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle leads the charge; she was this party's mother hend.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	hen*
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Feeling nervious from the surroundings, as well as having never spoken much with Saturn since the two began traveling, Chloe turned to Saturn with a uncertain voice, "Pretty crazy day... isn't it?"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Y'know, Saturn is such a nice name!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Crazy in what way?" Saturn's voice was still soft and calm as it usually was. She didn't startle easily, apparently.
As the group enters the cave opening, with Rochette covering the rear, the passage way is roughly 3-meters wide and tall. Water drips from the ceiling and small puddles of water litter the ground. However, as the group traverses this natural corridor the algae littered along the walls and floor begins to glow a luminescent blue. They stretch out into the form of roses and even mimic blooming. Ahead you can see the cave branch out into three different directions.
Kaorin Sakura: (( north, northest and northwest. ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(why is Rochette covering her rear?)
	Natasha: 	Gen Ed: 22 What kind of algae/organism is this, and what would it do?
DNA: 	hush Jack
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"So much has happened, it's hard to believe it's just one day..." Chloe said. She saw the algae and gasped, "...wow... it's so beautiful..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Wow. It's so pretty!"
Kaorin Sakura whispers: It appears to be a lichen type. Well, did before it began to glow and morph. Now you aren't sure.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"It hasn't been that long, has it? Though we've been constantly on the move." She looked about.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle wondered aloud, "Maybe wherever this pretty stuff came from is where we should head?"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Where's it thickest?"
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Am I able to tell if it's an existing lifeform, or is it just something completely new and foreign?
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She looks.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Perception:
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+3 => 11 + 3 = 14
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Intuition: 11 Do these things do anything besides look pretty? (should we be concerned?)
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe stands in awe of the algae, walking closer to examine it, "Aren't you a lovely flower.... how do you get to be so pretty." She smiled to it. As a botanist Chloe found she often spoke to plants like this.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: They seem to be reacting to something. The algae in the areas you haven't yet walked remain looking like normal rock lichen but the ones that you've moved pass have seemed to transformed.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...These things change as we walk past them."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Hold on, I'm going to test something."
* Saturn Rosewell turned around and walked backward several paces, monitoring to see if they change back (or at all.)
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Oh?" Chloe knelt down, "Are you awake little plant?" She asked again with a bright smile as if it were aware. With everything that had happened today, it wouldn't surprise her. Charm: 10
The glowing bloomed roses grow in size, changing from their rose shape into giant sunflowers. They nearly cover the that entire portion of the cave.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...I'm starting to get slightly worried..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I this is PokeMon-made."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Some PokeMon are able to create flowers and greenery."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hello!" she tries to gain anybody's attention. "We're here to help!"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Hm... are any growing pokemon known for their singing?" Chloe mused out loud, poke ed 7
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Poke Edu: 7 To see if she can recall one.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Not that you know of at the top of your head.
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+3 => 12 + 3 = 15
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle mused on this question, as well.
Rochette: (( back-ish ))
Rochette: (( head's still not in poke-space, but will try. ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((We're talking to flowers. Not about breeding though))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(We're in a cave and all the flowers growing all over the walls are rapidly) lol Rob (changing in response to our presence.)
Rochette: (( and rochette's in the back because attacks are less likely to come from there and she's severely injured ))
	Rochette: 	Rochette looks at the flowers, and then thinks for a bit.
	Rochette: 	"You think they're pokemon-related, right?"
Rochette: (( are the flowers in arm's reach? ))
Kaorin Sakura: 	They are. They're along the walls, floors and ceiling.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(( unless those candles come at us from behind, of course ))
	Rochette: 	Rochette kneels down and gently strokes the stem of a flower.
Rochette: (( in a game with ranged and aoe attacks everywhere, the middle of the pack is not all that safe. ))
Rochette: (( calculated risk. the front is the most dangerous and the candles would've attacked already ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe instead looked to observe the three caves that forked off of the one they entered in. Trying to find general information, size, incline/decline, how worn they might look, flower presence or anything unusual. Perception 17
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Spent AP to look.
* Natasha played Solitaire Rock-Paper-Scissors to see which path was the best one to go down! Gen Ed: 23
	Natasha: 	(I'm mostly looking for a hint)
Rochette now has slime on her hand.
	Rochette: 	"... slimy plants." She searches for water to wash off in.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Hm... That one (pointing northwest) is level... that one (north) goes down and that (northeast) goes up higher. The middle has the most flowers."
	Rochette: 	"Try checking for any wind going through one of them."
Kaorin Sakura: 	There's the pools of liquid on the ground.
* Rochette sighs and deals with the slime for now. Although she does get a look at the pools of liquid to see if they're like the plant-slime. And if not... what's it like?
* Natasha looked at her hand, figuring out the result of her RPS game.
	Natasha: 	"... Ik verloor."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Hoe verlies je speelt tegen jezelf?"
	Natasha: 	"Je wint wat, je verliest wat."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"......"
	Rochette: 	"Well... I can't really tell what the deal is, but I'd suggest avoiding the water. And touching the flowers."
* Natasha just decided to use Aura Reader! to see the strongest concentration of Aura down the 3 paths.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Don't touch anything - got it."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Why?"
Kaorin Sakura whispers: The descending and ascending directions have noticeable aura in the distance.
	Rochette: 	"Why the water, or why the slime?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...because it could be poisonous?"
* Natasha whispers rapidly to Saturn.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Oh? I see. ...The north and northeast pathways have noticeable aura down them; the northwest one doesn't. If we're going to pick a path, it should be one of those."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"North seems to be the most suspicious."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"What's the one that heads downwards?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"North."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"If we need to run back, maybe we should go the other one."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...we're going to end up going that way, aren't we."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Otherwise we'll be running upward, and that's more difficult."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Or maybe it'll be an advantage. Don't know."
	Rochette: 	"Actually, down's the most likely option for a prison."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Higher ground or something, that's what my father used to say."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Is an army brat.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Down has the least aura, doesn't it?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Higher ground true, but the objective is to try and find Nylora's family. And as Rochette said..."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Ignore that))
	Rochette: 	"Going down sounds good."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...that's probably the most likely place to go. On top of which, that is where the plants seem to originate."
* Natasha straightened her hat and put on a serious face. She was ready.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Okay, down."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle nods.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"It goes down, has the most flowers, the most aura..." Chloe nodded, "It seems to be the first place to look." Chloe turned back to the flowers and smiled, bringing out her sweetest voice, "We're going to go now, it was nice meeting you." She stood and brushed off her overalls out of habit before turning and walking down the north passage.
* Saturn Rosewell straightened herself as well. She wasn't exactly willing to do this, but she was as ready as she'd ever be.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle leads the way.
	Rochette: 	Forward, onward and away!
* Natasha adopted the Superman pose.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Just to make sure, you guys are going down, right?
	Natasha: 	Down, north, source of the plants, that-a-way.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Yep!))
Kaorin Sakura: 	Okay!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Acrobatics check. To everyone.
Kaorin Sakura: 	All of everyone.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Except Natasha.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Because I assume she floats.
Avara: 	roland is at 1m altitude
	Chloe Blanchett: 	8
* Natasha does float! Wheeeeeeeeee!
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 2d6 => 10
	Blondelle Champagne: 	yesssss
	Wineberry: 	5
	Saturn Rosewell: 	4
	Saturn Rosewell: 	...
DNA: 	brb crying in corner
Kaorin Sakura: 	...Roland is large size. I'm very certain in a 3x3m corridor he cannot fly.
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 2d6 => 9
	June Oliver: 	that was for me
	Roland: 	Roland goes down 1 meter(s).
Avara: 	getting into the habit of submitting my rolls to the gm via secret gm-only rolls
Kaorin Sakura: 	Okay, let me jot this down...
DNA: 	If I fall, can I have Natasha grab her collar/shirt or something to stop her?
DNA: 	(ith a check, obv)
DNA: 	with*
Kaorin Sakura: 	How much can she lift?
DNA: 	Power 3
DNA: 	I mean, that might be enough to slow her down I guess...
DNA: 	Overhead lifting: up to 50 lbs, carrying: 100, dragging: 200. Saturn weighs a shade under 100.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Awesome, thanks.
Kaorin Sakura: 	This now proves that Natasha can carry Saturn.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Fireman carry style.
DNA: 	...
DNA: 	This must now happen one day.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Dem panty shots.
* DNA slaps
DNA: 	No; you're bad.
Kaorin Sakura: 	You're the one in a skirt!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Anyway, Acrobatic checks from: Roland Saturn Chloe Wineberry
DNA: 	I can still slap you
Kaorin Sakura: 	...I mean that I need that check from those people.
DNA: 	...we already rolled those, did we not?
	Wineberry: 	Chloe was 8, wineberry was 5
Kaorin Sakura: 	I need another one.
DNA: 	Saturn was 4, Roland was I don't-
DNA: 	oh, okay
	Wineberry: 	Two?
	Chloe Blanchett: 	8
DNA: 	Probably to see if we catch ourself falling
Avara: 	sorry, had to step away
	Wineberry: 	10
	Saturn Rosewell: 	8 Acrobatics!
DNA: 	...I'll take it
Avara: 	submitted
Kaorin Sakura: 	Okay! Those who rolled 8 or higher, may reflexively grab a glowing rose to prevent you from sliding all the way down.
* Saturn Rosewell acted with her instincts, even against the 'don't touch anything', because she'd probably touch a lot more roses if she fell!
* Saturn Rosewell reflexively grabs
	Wineberry: 	Wineberry quickly latched onto a rose with a line of Threaded while Chloe gripped firmly on the flower, cringing and curling in fear.
* Natasha was flying right above Saturn's head.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle blinked in surprise; she was tempted to say 'i told you so'.
Kaorin Sakura: 	I assume Roland does as well.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Survival check.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Saturn's Survival: 4
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Totes meant to whisper that, but FUCK.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	11
Kaorin Sakura: 	And Ava seems to be AFK, so we'll just continue.
Stepping onto the slope half of the party nearly slides downward into the darkness of the descending cave but manages to quickly grab hold of the flowers as they bloom with the parties movement. At this point, the party can descend more carefully and not risk falling.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Perhaps you should light up," Blondelle suggested.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She was referring to Natasha.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Sorry." Chloe quietly appologized to the flower before climbing down.
DNA: 	(Natasha is always glowing)
Following the descent for several minutes you come to an enclosed room. It is circular and has stone walls, ceiling and floor. In the center is a suspended stoen platform, held by three large metal chains. The center of the stone platform is slightly more elevated than the rest.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: ...Wait, I don't run afoul of anything?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Nothing happens.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oh.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Even with a check that COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WORSE?
Kaorin Sakura: 	And those that touched the flowers.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Are now covered in slime.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Except Wineberry.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...Ewwwwwwww."
Avara: 	does that include rochette's stem examination earlier?
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Medicine Edu: 13 What is this and how can I get rid of it?
Kaorin Sakura: 	...Didn't Rochette look for a way to remove the slime earlier?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Your medical knowledge reveals secrets!
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(she found water, but didn't use it)
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe shivered, but she endured. She began to scrape the slime off of her body, looking around the room as she did. When she got her skin clean enough she walked over to the platform. She pressed her palms against the edge of the elevated center and tried to push, either to lift or push it off, as if it were a cover of some kind. Athletics 11
* Saturn Rosewell will also try to remove it manually as she analyzes it.
Avara: 	she didn't want to stick her hand in mysterious icky cave water.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: The slime appears to be full of parasite or virus. You aren't exactly sure but you can discern that it's likely to cause infection.
Avara: 	so she dealt with having a slimed hand
* Saturn Rosewell tries to get it off as fast as possible.
	Rochette: 	"Does anyone have a pokemon with a water attack?"
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Are there quick ways to get it off? Like water or something? And can it be treated? Or do I not know that much from my Check?
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Unfortunately not...Closest I have is Fairy Wind."
Kaorin Sakura whispers: If it is infected you, as a Medic, are trained to deal with diseases. So it can be treated. But the quickest way would be to use water.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: So can I scrape it all off now and not be all that much affected?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: You can take the time to scrape it off.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: I will be doing that. (then again, I said that already.) No further questions at this time.
* Natasha tries to sense any auras off the stone pillars and such, or any others nearby.
	Rochette: 	Rochette attempts to de-slime herself as well. While she's at it she makes sure to get a smell of the stuff.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	i have a 'mon that can flamethrower your hand for you
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"I wouldn't risk this being flamable."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Good call though, Rochette. Water would be the easiest way to de-slime ourselves. So let's keep our eyes peeled for Water-types."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	i do have a Shellos, though
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I have a Shellos. I can use that to wash off the slime."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Couldn't hurt. Just to get rid of all the residue."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Shellos will need to actually know a water Move.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe struggled against the platform, "W-well... this is movable. Just not by me."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Fountain does not create water.
DNA: 	I thought it did.
Kaorin Sakura: 	That was PTA.
DNA: 	oh. right.
	Rochette: 	AFK
DNA: 	...isn't there a similar function in PTU, though?
	Blondelle Champagne: 	what does Fountain do?
DNA: 	-function +capability
DNA: 	Fountain alters the type of Struggle attacks to Water.
Kaorin Sakura: 	May be a pokemon edge.
Kaorin Sakura: 	But Fountain itself doesn't create water.
DNA: 	Of course, you never actually make this EASY for us.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Firestarter likewise makes no fire.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Nah, why would I make things easy?
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(nope, no water move )
Kaorin Sakura: 	This way triumph is that much sweeter.
DNA: 	Wait, does it have Fountain, Jack?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Wow, no it doesn't.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Nope.
DNA: 	Darn. If it did, the problem would be solved instantly.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Water Pulse doesn't grant it either.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Weird.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	what about mud slap?
	Blondelle Champagne: 	no, i will save that in case one of you are on fire
Kaorin Sakura: 	Mud-Slap would help with ablazed yes.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Rain dance would also handle everything.
* Natasha clears throat, waiting for results.
	Natasha: 	(using Aura Reader to scan the area)
Kaorin Sakura: 	I somehow missed that.
	Natasha: 	It's fine; it got buried in talk of not-water moves.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: The vision seems to find the aura source discovered earlier to be below the platform you are standing on.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe continued to walk around the suspended platform, wondering what it is for. Curiously she lifted Wineberry and then hoisted herself up to sit on it.
	Natasha: 	"Het is direct onder ons!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Underneath us? You're sure?"
* Natasha nodded.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The suspended platform looks like this: ( o ). Could you describe for me where you are?
	Chloe Blanchett: 	The nipple.
* Saturn Rosewell looked for some kind of switch or other mechanism (like a slot) on or around the platform: Perception 7
As Chloe and Wineberry sit on the center of the suspended stone platform, the elevated center descends to be level with the rest of it and there's a loud audible *click* sound. Suddenly, the chains that keep the stone platform suspended begin to move and the stone platform that Chloe is on, descends.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Well, chloe found the mechanism.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: ...welp, so they did.
	Rochette: 	BACK
Kaorin Sakura: 	So, Chloe, gimme a PKMN Edu check before I describe further.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe let out an eep. She sat where she was but was prepared to leap off the moment it looked like it might decend into a floor openning. Poke-Ed 5
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Intuition: 12
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(what could it be? ...more so a general int. check.)
The chains continue to move, lowering Chloe on the platform for almost 2 full minutes.
Rochette: (( we should aim to end soon-ish so DNA can get to sleep on time ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe kept a keen eye out for any other pokemon, hidden or otherwise. 12 Perception
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(I can go for a half-hour, and no more)
	Rochette: 	((are you accounting for time it'll take to actually fall asleep?))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(Speaking of which, can we catch up to her? Like jumping or something? How far down IS she?)
DNA: 	yes
Kaorin Sakura: 	She descended for 2-minutes.
DNA: 	...at what velocity?
Kaorin Sakura: 	...Sure you can try and jump down to her.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe looks at the chains, are they still grippable?
DNA: 	a snail's pace for 2 minutes is not that much.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Comparably to an elevator.
DNA: 	I'm trying to gauge the distance.
Avara: 	roland could carry a couple folks down. he's slimed though, iirc.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded, satisfied. She sent out Nega to make sure she had her own light source. A glowing Victini emerging from her pokeball. Wineberry was recalled.
DNA: 	If Roland can be used to transport people down, we should de-slime him first.
	NegaVictini: 	NegaVictini glows with Natasha's capability, flying down at the same pace as Chloe.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe shifts herself so she's no longer on the button.
Avara: 	kaorin said that the people who got flower contact were -covered- in slime. i didn't get an answer on if that included rochette
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((but still on the platform)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Rochette's hand is slimed.
Avara: 	is it possible to de-slime without the aid of water?
DNA: 	I believe so
	Blondelle Champagne: 	lick it
DNA: 	no
The center of platform raises again and there's an audible *click* as it returns back in-place.
	Rochette: 	"Did you see anything going down?"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle remains observing; June Oliver is by her side.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Well, I figured out how this works. It lowers to a room just like this. But we can only squeeze on so many. and splitting in half is a bad idea."
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Not sure what you're going for with the Intuition check.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Anything below there? What's causing it? Who or what is the source of the aura beneath?
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"How much room is there?"
* Rochette recalls roland. (does this remove the slime?)
Kaorin Sakura whispers: You can't discern the source, yet.
Kaorin Sakura: 	It does not.
Kaorin Sakura: 	There is enough room for 5 medium creatures.
DNA: 	How much does a small count as?
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Hm. So the four trainers, and then the flying pokemon can follow?" Chloe recalled NegaVictini.
Avara: 	that's enough for four trainers, blondelle's teddy and we can have two flyers, yes
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle nods, getting onto the platform.
	Rochette: 	Rochette boards the pain train! I mean the ancient elevator.
Kaorin Sakura: 	A small occupies the same space as a medium.
DNA: 	What if the small is floating? (which, in this case, they both do.)
Kaorin Sakura: 	If it's floating above the space then...it isn't occupying the space.
Kaorin Sakura: 	But if it's floating in the space, it's still occupying the space.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Four trainers, and June. Roland and Natasha can fly behind.))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Chloe has all hers recalled currently.))
DNA: 	I agree with the above idea
DNA: 	whoosh~
* Saturn Rosewell hops on the platform, slowly. Natasha stays behind enough to not be too close.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe tries to squeeze away from the unslimed.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Aaaand then there's Natasha.
	Natasha: 	Hi!
* Natasha will be floating above, not close, but enough to shed light.
	Rochette: 	Rochette is in one area of the elevator already. Because she's all aboard!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Shedding light! *hiss*
	Natasha: 	Let's say...2 to 3 meters above the others? That should be enough.
Avara: 	... have to afk again. dammit. rochette on auto stick with group
As the party all boards the platform with only Natasha (Roland was recalled iirc) following behind closely. As the elevator descends and Natasha's light provides illumination. About two dozen Pokemon recoil from the light

http://www.psypokes.com/dex/regular/402.png
They cling to the walls and hiss audibly as if the light hurts them and move to the corners. After roughly 2-minutes of time, the platform reaches the bottom.
DNA: 	crap what's the one after bibarel
The bottom area is identical to the above area with a single exit, though the cooridor is entirely man-made and has no algae.
DNA: 	ah, talktomebabe.jpg
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"What were those things before?" she asked.
	June Oliver: 	June Oliver continued to nap on the spot. He didn't care.
Chloe Blanchett: 	"We all have to get off quickly or someone might get trapped. Whoever's on the button, stay there. Everyone else-" Chloe slipped off the platform to finish her sentence.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I can stay here, unless anyone objects..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Why not let a PokeMon stand on the button, and then return them when we're all off?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe's eyes widened with realization, "Oh yes, getting up will be a problem. What happens when it's sent away?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Was there a hole under the suspended platform?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	))
Kaorin Sakura: (( I don't think that was yet discovered. ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...wait..."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	(( did something open when we decended was it lowered into a hole? ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"What if there's someone, or something, on the underside of this platform?"
* Natasha attempts to ascertain this! (As usual, Aura Reader.)
	Natasha: 	Dang, Victini IS best starter.
Kaorin Sakura: (( It lowers into a crevice for sure, to be level with the ground. ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	(( Okay, so we can fly up and push the button if it goes back up, in theory? ))
Kaorin Sakura whispers: The aura you saw before is not beneath the elevator, though there are several aura beneath it.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Assuming you can push the platform out of the way. ))
	Natasha: 	"Er is iets onder dit, maar niet hetzelfde als voorheen ..."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Ah! Okay, that's what I wanted to know))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...Something else under the elevator, you say? And several of them?"
* Natasha nods.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"If we get off the button, it'll go back up and trap us here.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe crossed her arms in thought.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Is there a way out after we get off?"
Avara: 	((back))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Ditto might be able to fly up, and squeeze through a crack, then turn into something heavy enough to push it down."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"We can't count on there being a way out other than this. One of us needs to stay here."
	Rochette: 	"One of us could stay behind, or we could leave a pokemon behind."
Kaorin Sakura: (( Dat amorphous ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"On top of which, if that goes back up, we could be utterly without light."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	(( Amorphous + Wallclimber ))
	Rochette: 	"I'm the most seriously injured, so if we leave a trainer behind... I'm the logical choice. None of the residents here are interested in talking."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle pointed at the Victini. "How do mean 'without light'?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Are you sure Rochette?" Chloe asked with concern.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"If Natasha gets knocked out, we will be without light. ...I don't plan to let that happen, but still."
	Rochette: 	"I have two pokemon to protect me. I should be fine."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Should someone stay with Rochette in case?"
Kaorin Sakura: (( I think Ava missed the part of the 2 dozen Pokemon ))
Avara: 	yes, yes i did. da fuq?
DNA: 	About 2 dozen Kricke___ scattered from Natasha's light.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	k so u want to stay here alone, rite?
	Rochette: 	"I can take the elevator back up, and you can send Natasha or Nega to shout at me if I need to bring the elevator down."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Aren't those weird pokemon back up there?"
	Rochette: 	"Which weird pokemon?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"If you're sure... that does sound the safest. We'll try to be as quick as we can, okay?"
	Rochette: 	"If you mean the litwicks, it's the safer of two options and they haven't attacked yet."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Those insects that scattered. There were quite a lot of them."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I think they might just be timid and afraid of light."
	Rochette: 	((okay, were those DOWN HERE or UP THERE))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(I believe down here)
	Rochette: 	((then taking it up there should be fine))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"They seem peaceful. I saw them skittering about when I first came down."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Clinging to the walls on the way down here.
Kaorin Sakura: 	So you would pass them on your way up.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Regardless: I have 11:59 so I'm calling it here.
	Rochette: 	"... Unless you want to leave someone who can make light behind, I don't really have a choice."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"They might be a bit stropy from the light, but before they weren't interested in me at all."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Trainer XP granted is 1 tonight. Each Trainer may grant 10 XP to one of their Pokémon.
DNA: 	Yes, let us decide off-screen! I must zzzzzzzz.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	zzz
Avara is disconnected.
Blondelle Champagne is disconnected.
DNA: 	logging off, and thank you.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Mmhm!
Kaorin Sakura: 	campaign and log saved!
You have disconnected.
Kaorin Sakura is disconnected.
