Blue sighed in relief. She was feeling pretty awful herself, but seeing the skitty crawl towards her rather pathetically filled her with determination. She quietly picked the skitty up and cuddled the pokemon against her bosom protectively. "Thank you..." Blue murmured, shifting Skitty into the cradle of one arm and producing her smashdar. She looked up the map she'd downloaded earlier and began looking for a convenient exit. She didn't think she and Skitty could continue fighting like this, though her pokemon had seen worse days.

The Skitty gave no effort to resist as Blue picked her up. She just rested against Blue as she held her against her. ^here was a sudden breeze after another crash coming from the secret entrance. If she looked down the secret entrance, she would notice there was a Chain Chomp size hole in the wall. That seemed like a good and safe escape route to take. Alternatively, there was an elevator in the room that could take her to the lower levels which had a backdoor. Those were the only routes that looked safe from the dangerous predators she released in the main room.

Blue huffed in response to noticing the chain chomp sized hole in the wall. Huh. Well that was convenient, and she wasn't about to refuse an escape route that no one was liable to accept. With the precious data files tucked safely in her bosom, Blue would turn to her remaining pokemon. "Alright... Let's get out of here. Nidory, I want you in front. We're making a break for it, so don't stop until I tell you." Blue ordered, moving to burst into as much of a run as she could handle in her current state. Hopefully there would be no more surprises waiting for her.

The charge of the Nidoqueen was rather safe as they approached the hole. The noise in the other room as it seemed one side has one the fight. There looked to be no interference either on the way to the hole as there was nothing in the way. Still, one had to wonder why they had an empty glass case. Maybe they could not capture a 4th one?... Or was there something invisible to most sight?

Suddenly though, it would seem the final specimen was more focused on Blue. Four hands raised out of the ground. They each made a reach to grab each member of Blue's team including herself and hold her still. No real monster seemed to be here yet though... Or maybe it was hiding until it seen the success of it's attack on the group?

(Roll a 14 or higher to evade the grab of the Dead Hands for each member. If they hit, it does no damage but you are stopped until you break free with a 14 or higher)

p_1d20-3 (Blasty's Dodge)
p_1d20+2 (Nidory's Dodge)
p_1d20+2 (Jiggly's Dodge)

Blue felt something creeping up her legs and promptly noped out of there. Creepy. Jiggly happened to be flying at the time and just sort of floated past the groping hands. Nidory was similarly strong enough to push past without being hindered. However, Blasty found himself squirming. Though he was large, his tiny limbs were not flexible enough to pack a whole lot of force behind them. He was apparently having difficulty freeing himself from their grasp. Blue turned and frowned at Blasty ... before promptly returning him and going on her way. Ain't nobody got time fo dat.

"C'mere you big goof. We have to go! Blue remarked, shifting to begin running again. She had no desire to stick around and find out what was trying to prey on them--if she had a choice.1d20-1·1d20-3·1d20+2·1d20+2

Blue's  quick thinking made the hand confused as the turtle it was grasping suddenly vanished. She was able to get out of the hole with her team before the hands could go back into the ground to stop her. She completed her mission and made it out with the files. Now she just had to head back to the Gamble Guy Casino and give Game Guy the Data Files to give to Solid Ekans in exchange for her reward. The base laid in ruins as it seemed the released specimens has caused quite a mess and a lot of the guards were missing... Might be best to head back before someone investigates...
