Well, @Truant, I believe what's wrong with you is in the name... your ability is Truant, you only get to act every other turn.

@Ampharos Boy, I guess that means you're going to get cave adaptation by the time this whole thing is done, and you'll vomit as soon as you leave your house, lol.

You ever read one of your RPs from years ago and just laugh at how bad it is?

Dragons vs unicorns, huh? I'm horribly biased in this case 'cause I HATE horses, so... dragons.

If you're wondering...
I made a roll to avoid the zombies: 20! +7 (DEXmod)
and... if we DO fight, they'll be blind (To-hit rate / 2)
AND we'll have a +10 on our INI, as well as a free turn... with them suffering a -10 INI due to the pre-emptive attack.
...and their stats are as follows.

It seemed like everyone else either didn't care, or wanted to get that slab, so, after a quick nod, I rushed over there, hoping that the zombies would still be distracted, and just let me take the thing. I looked around, and noticed that a group of them were shuffling their way over here. I then got an idea, and I used the slab to shine some sun directly into their faces, which, oddly enough, seemed to actually get a reaction out of them, and might have actually blinded them, temporarily... somehow. With a grin on my face, I started to leave this place, but then I thought How often do we have an advantage like THAT in a fight? and I started to slow down, as the confused zombies just kept heading in the same direction as they were, before... as if they really WERE temporarily blinded by that white slab of marble. Once I got back to the rest of my team, I asked "So... we could EASILY sneak up on those zombies, and probably destroy them before they could touch us... or just run away. I'd rather get rid of those zombies, honestly, who's with me?" Backstabs, who was somehow following me this whole time, responded with "I'm not... I mean, we have a GOLDEN opportunity to get out of this grey mess, and I'm gonna take it," I then looked over to the princess, who seemed to be writing something down in her book, again, and didn't want to talk. Good. After that, I looked over to the rest of my team, wondering which way they'd want to go... Dorisma would probably want to fight, Miles might want to run away, but Deravan and Trey could go either way.
Uh... @Guardian Angel Haruki, you didn't forget... did you?
Hey, @Eklispe, sorry for basically shouting at you, but you still have to post, this round.
Is it my turn to post?
Maaaaybe.
I was just about to leave this area when I heard Miles mention that something else was here, and I looked over where he was looking as soon as he said that "Huh... how about that? Seems like the dust can't touch that stuff. So, before we leave, should we get some of that... whatever it is that's repelling the dust, or not?" I asked my group. I then took a rock, and threw it at some other rock, creating a noise, and making the zombies head in that direction instead of towards us. It would work for a while, but if we wanted to get that slab, we'd probably have to fight at least one of them on the way back. So... if those zombies are made when living things enter the dust... why aren't we effected? I thought as I waited for a response from the group. I then looked around for any wood, just so I could light it in case anyone needed a fire-based weapon to fend off the zombies. I found a few branches that looked like they'd work for what I needed them for, but decided against getting them, at least for now. The smell of stale rot filled the air as I waited, and honestly, I couldn't take it for too much longer. The princess was writing in some sort of book, again, and Backstabs seemed to be on the fence about this saying "Well... I dunno. I'll go with you guys, whether you choose to leave, or stay, but I don't know what we should do," she then brought up a point with "We could just TELL the dragons that we found something like this, and I'm sure they, in all their supposed wisdom, would be able to figure out WHICH material the slab was made of... right?"

Celes explained the badge to me, and I remembered... it was the first badge I ever had. Somehow, it was still in good condition, too, and given how long Vine must have had it for... not to mention the fact that he actually kept the badge after I tossed it to the ground in rage... I was mad at him because he never let me go on any missions with the rest of the team, always assigning me to 'hold down the fort', which involved doing pretty much nothing. At the time, I thought he didn't really care about me, that he didn't want me going on the more exciting missions. Celes then asked if I was hungry, and, after what I thought was a brief reminiscence of before rescue or exploration teams were even an organized thing, I nodded, saying "Yeah, some food sounds real good right now," I then put the badge where it belonged, pinned to my explorer's pack, and next to the newer badge. Sure, it didn't have the same functions as a real badge did, but I guess looking at it would always bring back that nostalgic feeling of exploring with my big brother in a world I didn't know much about. Celes then asked if she could make some soup, but, I've never really been to this so-called cafe that was supposedly right next to the guild, so I answered with "Why don't we stop by the cafe? I don't think I've ever been there, before," at that, I headed towards the cafe, confident that Celes would follow me... however, before I could go in, I noticed yet another team of explorers, this one consisting of a bronzor, a ralts, a female nidoran, and a growlithe... odd... that growlithe almost seemed familiar, some 'lone wolf' who didn't want to be a part of a whole team, but the rest... not so much. Since I figured we were all members of the same guild, I simply asked "So... what are you guys doing, right now?" that question seemed to shock the nidoran, and the others didn't seem ready to answer, either.

In what seemed like only a few moments, a flaming mass of scales and teeth slid past me, and pinned the goodra to the wall. Once I could get some time to think, I figured out that the 'mass' was, in fact, Kamina, using his flame charge move against our enemy, not to deal damage, but to more or less disable him. Josh floated by a bit later, and started lobbing sludge bombs at the enemy, which seemed to eventually poison them, while M tried his best to get a clear shot at him... not an easy task with Kamina pinning him to a wall. As soon as I could, I made my way over there, slipping on the icy floor, as usual, but, at least, this time, the enemy was next to the nearest wall, so after that, all I had to do was attack, and I did so with another dragon breath, aimed right for the goodra... since it couldn't move, it was pretty easy to hit the thing, and somehow, I feel as if that SHOULD have paralyzed the goodra, but didn't. Either way, the goodra continued flailing around, pinned to the wall, and eventually using power whip, again, this time, aimed at anyone who was nearby, which meant myself, M, and Kamina... though, it didn't actually do all that much to me, and I could tell that Kamina barely felt it, I couldn't say anything about M... even if his typing would suggest that the move would do as much, if not less than what it did to me. Finally, after all that, I manged to congratulate Kamina with "Good job pinning him to the wall, really made this fight easier,"

I managed to hold in a laugh at Dexter's reaction to our client waking up, since the whole scene was just too funny, and Rebecca informed the apparently homeless bronzor about the rescue and or exploration business, and she seemed to be right about everything. I didn't realize just how good I had it until she explained everything to him. He responded with "Well, yes, I suppose I could look into it, after all, I probably won't have a job once we're done here," and, after I said "We should probably stock up... my bag's looking real empty," we all left the cafe, only to run into a grey colored snivy. I tried to ignore him, but apparently, he was just more than ready to stick his giant nose where it doesn't belong, and he pried by asking "So... what are you guys doing, right now?" and... I almost froze up at that. I had no idea how to respond to it. We were on some sort of secret mission, so I couldn't really say anything, and, not only that, but our mission was stolen by some other group not too long ago... that group was pretty high-ranking, and he seemed to have a gold-rank badge, as well... maybe he was in league with them? That was just about when I noticed the bronzor apparently just about ready to speak, ready to spill the beans about this whole thing. "S-someone shut him up," I muttered to the group, hoping at least someone would hear me, and know that I meant to shut up the bronzor, not the snivy.

Tini's hug, and Eralion's encouragement, I calmed down a bit, and agreed "Yeah... I guess we are stronger than we used to be... and I guess we could take him on. There are three of us, and only one of him," after that, I heard some rustling in the bushes, and turned my attention towards them. "Someone's here, already," I pointed out to my team. Sure, Eralion could probably hear the rustling, but Tini didn't really have ears, let alone big ones, like mine. I hesitated before entering the cave ahead of us, and I head the bushes, again... something was going to try to ambush us. Once everyone was in the cave, a riolu jumped out of the bushes, only to pull a lever, closing the door behind us. "Well, I guess there's no going back now, huh...?" I asked. I tried to make that sound like I was joking, and happy... but truth was, it only served to cement the idea that this place would be my doom even more. The fact that the place was dark, save for a message reading 'The power of mint will light the way' didn't help things, either. Sure, the message seemed kinda funny, if not just plain weird, but even now, I could hear something approaching... something heavy. "Whatever this is, we... we should figure it out fast. I don't want this... thing to catch up to us!" I ended up shouting by mistake... and once I did, the footsteps seemed to start heading in our direction... seems like I messed everything up, again.

Before I could say anything else, the mystery girl ran off towards the mountain, and she said that she'd appreciate my help... before just jumping into a giant hole that I could have easily flown down. It sure would have cut down on her pain if she let me do that... but something bothered me... she somehow knew my name, despite me never telling her my name. Erion seemed a little out of it, too, and he said something about a dejavu. "Wait... you, too, Erion? It's weird, somehow, it seems like a LOT of people already knew my speech, and they even accused me of repeating it, but that's not possible, right? I made that speech yesterday, the only ones who heard it were me, and you... remember? I had to practice it over the phone because I couldn't quite see the bathroom's mirror?" I shook my head, and picked up Erion as I witnessed the robotic creature somehow flatten herself... and then just float down. That seems oddly familiar... nah, can't be, but at least it saves me from having to float her down, or rebuild her, right? I thought as I flew down the hole, trying to not drop Erion, or start falling, rather than flying down. It took quite a bit of effort, and once I was done, I turned towards the mystery girl, and asked, while trying to catch my breath between words "Hey... how did... you... know... my name?" I'd have explained how I never introduced myself, but I was already exhausted from keeping Erion from falling. I then looked at what became of the ruins, monsterkind's first underground home... it was dusty, but somehow, I doubted that the dust was just from dead monsters. As Erion once explained, dust has appeared on the surface long before monsters have, and dust particles tend to settle on things that haven't been used for a while. Monster dust or not, it still looks kinda creepy... I thought as I tried to move forwards, wondering who, if anyone, would live down here.
