Heart points the way forward, and you all follow. Grid is getting tired - he'll need some juice soon. Luckily he'll be able to find plenty in Stair City!
And even before you reach the city limits, back on Route 04, you start seeing signs of increased technology. There are street lights (off), each with a video screen on it showing an event in Stair City! You see a battle between Totodile and Chikorita, kids splashing in a fountain, and a blooper reel of someone falling down an up escalator. There's even one of those new All Weather PCs, so you can swap out Pokemon before you enter the city if you wish.
But first, there's the matter of these creeping vines. They tear at the borders of Route 04, but the ancient stone seems to repel them, or at least slow them down. They cannot get a grip on the superior masonry of the past. The vines are aided in their assault by waddling shepherds - four large Tangrowth block the path, gesturing to the vines, leaping out of the writhing green mass to ambush your party!
Ambush
Dexterity + Survival + Stealth vs Insight + Survival + Alert.
2 + 3 + 3, -1 for the amount of them, +1 for blending in
(4)(4)(1)(5)(4)(2)(6)(5) = 6 success for the Tangrowth
(5)(4)(6)(3)(2)(3)(5) = 4 success for Ventus, as the party representative
Just one of the wild Tangrowth, in conjunction with the vines, is enough to Block the party's retreat in a direction, so two of them use their action to Block off all of Route 04.
The other two use Ingrain, joining with the vines just off the road.
On a cliff high above Route 04, another figure looms - the round body of a Claydol, silhouetted against the sky, its many eyes glowing. It bears a stony crown.
(possibly) Before you're aware of it, it sends a wave of psychic energy at Skiddo.
Ambush
2 Dex + 2 Survival + 0 Stealth +1 blending in with the cliff
(4)(2)(3)(5)(3) = 2 successes
2 Survival + 3 Insight + 0 Alert
(4)(5)(4)(6)(5)
No way is Shiva going to let it get away with that. She is the first to spot the Claydol, and squeezes a warning to Skiddo. He bears them both aside as the Confusion attack washes over mere stones.
You can hear indistinct shouting from Stair City, the suburbs of which are on the edge of sight.
The vanguard of vines writhe and slap against the road, occasionally cresting over to snatch at the path.
Hit point loss from the Running is still in effect. Please apply this to your char sheets or in your orders.
