(Ahahaha, gotten through the waterfall like nothing!~ That 1 point of damage should be healed by moving on to the next tile - or to paraphrase it, once we reach the next tile, we should be back at full health - right?)

Quote:(...) Everyone gets to the other side of the waterfall, no worse for wear aside from being a little wet!  Umbreon shakes the water out of his fur and gives Kee an approving nod.  "Quick Orb was a good idea.  Not something I think most pokemon would think to do.  Not bad."

...That approval from Umbreon, as small and nuanced it may it may be, is enough to get Ziggy Kee's ego and feelings of being flattered skyrocketing straight up into the stratosphere!!1 (ꈍ ꒳ ꈍ ) - though before it gets to his head he shakes himself too clear said head, then gives Umbreon a smile that's overflowing with thankfulness. Damn, he needs a few deep breathes to cool down right now!

...And he gets then as they all move onwards, not before the crittercoon has taken good care to shake as much water from his fine fur and quick-lick over the still-wet parts. Eww, can't stand not looking all well and pretty 24/7, least of all in such a prestigious company as the two Eeveelutions!

"*sigh*...I know, Umbreon, I know.  It's always nice to see variation in a dungeon like this, though.  It's not something you see often."

...Shiny stuff, sHiNy sTUfF!1!! If it wasn't for Umbreon displaying caution and suspecting a trap, Kee would have rushed towards the shiny pebbles without a second thought to collect as many of them as he can carry; his inner Zigzagoon unable to resist due to how beautiful and collect-worthy they are. Another deep breath taken by the crittercoon to cool down andgather himself (and hs thoughts), then he turns to Kogeki/@Spiritmon with an expectant look: "*gentle nudge* Hey K'geki, ya know Foresight an' natur'lly have quite tha good sense for danger 'head, haven't ya?~ Tell me, d'you sense or feel somethin' out of place by these two waterfalls here...? Ya know, I NEED and WANT to have some of these beautiful! and shiny! pebbles just because, but I can't let my instinct get tha better of me and p'tentially get in trouble by succumbing, ahaha!~~"


(In case Kogeki can feel nothing aka this place does not appear suspicious, then Kee will step forward and (at first massively careful) nudge one of these shiny pebbles to see whether it triggers any effect, mechanism or basically anything. Once it appears clear that gathering some of the most shiny pebbles without putting himself at risk, he, will collect a few units of them.

If Kogeki does feel something suspicious about this place/the pebbles/the waterfall, then Kee will take one Gravelerock annd throw it to the shiny pebbles in the hope to lure out or trigger whatever may lurk around waiting for the trap to click.)

- Umbreon decides to be a bit of a show off and simply walks through the waterfall.


Damage Taken:
Kogeki: 5/2 -> 3 - 1 Reflect - 1 Quick Orb - 2 Defense = 1 damage minimum
Kee: 5 - 2 - 1 Defense - 1 Clash = 1 damage minimum
Platina: 5 - 2 - 3 Defense - 1 Clash = 1 damage minimum
Espeon: 5 - 2 - 2 Defense = 1 damage minimum
Umbreon: 5 - 2 - 4 Defense = 1 damage minimum

"Let's move on, shall we?  If we keep up this pace, we should be able to reach the end of this Magnagate Dungeon before long."


Team OS and the eeveelutions press on through the long, waterfall lined corridor, drying off slightly and eventually coming across another portion of the path with water pouring down the sides in greater volumes than usual.  This time, however, the water doesn't seem to be coming down as forcefully, and shiny pebbles appear to decorate the pathway where the larger waterfalls meet the ground.



"Well, this is rather picturesque, isn't it?  The water falling, the light reflecting off of the pebbles there..."

Kogeki's Foresight
(2)(3)(1)(1) 0 Successes

Platina's Metal Sound
(5)(2)(2) 1 Success

Kogeki tries to analyze the Waterfall, but Platina's sudden screeching breaks his concentration and causes everyone else in the group to suddenly have to cover their ears to try and block out the horrible sound!

The sound of screeching metal reverberates through the corridor, echoing down it, but no threats immediately show themselves.  Kogeki's Anticipation goes untriggered for now, and the surroundings remain quiet.  Tensely quiet as the eeveelutions both turn to look at the metallic bird.

Espeon hesitates a second before speaking up, trying to figure out how to put this nicely.  "...I suppose you're new at this, so we can cut you some slack, but making a lot of noise generally isn't..."

Umbreon interrupts with a more blunt version.  "Let me just get straight to the point.  If there's anything nearby, they definitely know we're here now.  Let's hope you're not causing us more trouble down the line by screeching like that."

"...yes, that.  That's rather the opposite of being cautious..."

"Let's check out those pebbles while we have a chance, before we end up getting a surprise visitor.  Be quick about it, Kee."

*rolls*

Kee picks up some of the pebbles, but most of them are really small and don't look like they're usable for much despite being so shiny.  He does manage to find two that look like they're about the same size as a Gravelerock though, and can likely be used in a similar fashion as the throwables.

In addition, while digging through the pile of stones, Kee finds a clear, teardrop shaped necklace filled with what looks like clear water.  It's a Mystic Water!  What a lucky find!

Umbreon's standing lookout while Kee is investigating that.  "All done?  We should get going then.  I'd recommend moving more carefully though after all that ruckus."

"...Can you please next time don't do that while I trying to scan possible enemies with my Foresight? It requires a lot concentration to expand my aura detection to look dangers. And that screech could probably alert possible enemies about our location."

"We should go now, before any nasty surprise appear."

Platina takes the lead for a bit as everyone continues marching down the corridors of the Mystery Dungeon.  The scenery continues to not change much, making it difficult to gauge how far exactly they've traveled, so when it does finally change notably, it's quite the sight to see.

To the party's right, a large, gaping chasm that the water rushes towards, spilling over the cliff and into the dark abyss below.  On the party's left, waterfalls continue to blanket the tall walls, but a perfectly carved stone staircase is cut into the wall, the water cascading down the steps.

And straight ahead, the corridor continues onwards, the water flowing out of it and towards the center of the room, then the chasm below.



Espeon and Umbreon both perk up when they see the stairs.

"Ah!  There's the exit!"

"We're almost out of here.  Maybe there wasn't anything to worry ab..."

Umbreon's gaze snaps to the opposite corridor, interrupting the end of his sentence.  Three pokemon have appeared from it, and they're watching the group carefully.  An Arrokuda and a Horsea hang back as a Poliwhirl steps forward, arms crossed.

"Guess we did alert some wild pokemon after all.  I think we can get to the exit, though."

"Hmmmm...they're just...standing there.  Curious..."

The eeveelutions wait for Platina's move, and the wild pokemon continue watching silently.  The dungeon may be exited now, but there's still more adventure to be had if desired.
