Feeling invigorated by his martial rituals, Edwin turned towards the seemingly braindead Swalot and exclaimed "Now is the time for you to feel my wrath, cur!" before slashing at it.

[Edwin uses Pursuit on Swalot, rolled 12]

Upon hearing Creature's nonsensical words and witnessing the mess this room had become, Gael simply shook his head and muttered to himself "What cesspool of degenerates am I stuck in again..."

Adopting a dueling stance once more, he attempted to jab his rapier at Stalla, but his attack lacked determination and hit nothing but thin air (rolled 8). Letting out an annoyed grunt, he backed away a few steps, wary of a possible counter-attack. "Someone finish that thing off and let's get out of here already!"

[[IC] PMD: Explorers of Dusk [Not Accepting Sign-Ups]]

Unable to even perceive the noxious mist emanating from the Swalot, Edwin formed a hand with his cloth and waved his index finger in a seemingly disapproving manner. "Oh, no, no, that will absolutely not do. My sincerest thanks for the protection, comrades; I shall make sure to return the favor when possible and applicable."

Edwin then begins his usual combat ritual, mystically sharpening his blade. [Edwin uses Swords Dance]

Someone or something that looked like Corey, the former Beryl Leader. If you want to know:

Spoiler

That was a Zorua disguised as Corey. You can find it again and catch it elsewhere in the City, but I don't remember where (someone else probably will, though).

Puzzled by Sparks' mimicry of his own words and blushing imperceptibly thanks to Leo's flirting, Edwin glanced confusedly at one, then the other, before snapping to his senses and replying to Altasal.

"Yes, you are making a good point indeed. Which is a pleasant surprise, if I may. I don't mind if Leo holds on to the Eviolite for now."

 

Hiding his embarrassment with an awkward cough, made all the more awkward by the Honedge's blatant lack of a respiratory system, Edwin hovered closer to the northwestern door and stared at it with focus, only to find this door to be... well, a door.

Somewhat surprised by Sitra's intervention, Edwin stammered: "Oh! Uh... M-my thanks, lady Sitra. I wouldn't have been harmed by the explosion, but I would have loathed to see my cloth blackened or tarnished."

Hovering silently in the next room, where Elías had opened a chest located right in the middle, Edwin approached and peeked over his companion's head.

"By the shield of my father! Is this an Eviolite? It would benefit greatly to any of us... although, if I may, I think Leo and I have the lengthiest and most unpredictable evolution process. Whoever gets to hold on to it for now, it might be best for us to agree on whom shall receive its benefits later on."

Confronted to the imminent danger, Edwin barely had time to think at all before propelling himself forward, slamming right into the Forretress.

"EVERYONE FALL BACK!"

[Edwin pushes the exploding Forretress away from the group, rolled 17]

 

[[IC] PMD: Explorers of Dusk [Not Accepting Sign-Ups]]

As relieved to not have taken the Drilbur's attack as he was, Edwin certainly hadn't wished it on poor, naive Altasal. Seeing her stumbling, heavily damaged and on the verge of fainting, he exclaimed "We need to settle this, quickly!"

Edwin then charges against the Shellos and attempts to cut it down. [Edwin uses Fury Cutter on Shellos, rolled 19]

[[IC] PMD: Explorers of Dusk [Not Accepting Sign-Ups]]

Evaluating the newly arrived Forretress as a minor threat, Edwin ignored its attack and chose to focus on the other assailants. His unique eye blinked rapidly as Drilbur burrowed its way underground!

"Oh no... this is bad, this is really bad indeed" thought the Honedge with an anxious twitch of his cloth.

He then saw it; Beedrill was rushing straight towards Sparks, threatening him with his sharp stings!

"How many times must I teach you this lesson, you mindless beasts!"

Edwin propelled himself between Sparks and the Beedrill, and opposed his blade to the bug's stings.

"THOU SHALT NOT HARM MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS!"

Edwin's blade sliced right through the Beedrill's body, negating its attack and making the creature vaporize into a noxious mist. Where it once stood, was only a small shadow gem on the ground.

[Edwin intercepts Beedrill's attack and deals 35 damage, killing it.]

 

Catching his breath after defeating the foe, Edwin was reminded of the Drilbur's threat by a strange, scratching noise below the group's feet, and chose to get closer to Elías who would be better able to resist the incoming attack than him.

[[IC] PMD: Explorers of Dusk [Not Accepting Sign-Ups]]

Glancing behind is back, Edwin caught a glimpse of pure chaos. A Machoke, a Drilbur and a Beedrill had breached the gate, and were now threatening his companions! The Drilbur was rapidly spinning, projecting fragment of spider webs all over the corridor, the Beedrill was dancing in the air, zooming towards Altasal, and the Machoke, enraged by Leo's attack, was towering him threateningly and readying an ice-cold fist.

Perceiving the imminent danger, Edwin let out a gasp and rushed blade-first between Leo and the Machoke.

"Thou shalt not harm my companion, foul creature!"

*zwing*

A metallic sound can be heard as the shadow pokemon's fist collides with Edwin's finely honed blade. The Sword pokemon, using his foe's strength against himself, let him cut his hand on the edge and pushed him back without mercy.

[Edwin intercepts Machoke's Ice Punch with Fury Cutter and deals 12 damage]

"Altasal, no! You should have waited!"

Edwin hastily hovers towards the tail end of the group of adventurers, facing down the corridor where they came from.

"By the blades of my ancestors, they're everywhere! I'll try to intercept any enemy coming from behind. I trust you to take care of anything that comes out the door!"

With these words yelled at his comrades, Edwin begins to focus, and hone both his body and mind. [Edwin uses Swords Dance]

Mostly ignoring Leo's babbling, Edwin glanced back in direction of the door they had left locked, with some regret. There was no telling what kind of loot, trial or encounter there could have been behind it.

Looking in front of him again, he saw another split.

"Hmm... I think we should explore the short corridor that immediately turns south, first, but in any case I'll follow the majority. It probably wouldn't do to split up so early."

[[IC] PMD: Explorers of Dusk [Not Accepting Sign-Ups]]

Puzzled by Altasal's remark, Edwin replied: "In a sense, I did get to sleep more than you, but it wasn't exactly a choice, and I wouldn't call it a nap. Regardless! Thank you for your nice compliments, Elías. I am most pleased to be in the same team as you. You, too, performed excellently yesterday. And don't worry, dear Leo, we should have many occasions to watch each other fight."

Making sure he had all his belongings with him, and adjusting his newly acquired scarf (which was fortunately rather well-assorted to his cloth), Edwin hovered through the door.

"Let us see what lady Sitra has in store for us!"

[[IC] PMD: Explorers of Dusk [Not Accepting Sign-Ups]]

Following Sitra with his unique eye as she left, Edwin then turned to his companions. "Well, having her as a supervisor isn't going to be a peaceful experience, that much is certain, but at least we won't have to walk there unlike the other teams. Good morning, comrades! I hope you are well-rested."

 

Nodding his pommel towards Sparks, he added: "Thank you for staying at my side as I was recovering, my friend; I appreciate your solicitude."

 

Swiftly hovering closer to Elías, Edwin then asked him how the end of the fight went, and whether he and Jullien were successful in defeating Alcott.

"Not on my watch!" Edwin throws himself between Alcott and Jullien, trying to to intercept Alcott's move with an attack of his own, but the Pancham overpowered him and knocked him out instantly.

[Interception; Edwin takes 72 damage and faints]

[[IC] PMD: Explorers of Dusk [Not Accepting Sign-Ups]]

Having witnessed how Jullien repelled the assault and dealt considerable damage to Elgar, Edwin exclaimed "My sincerest thanks, Miss Jullien!"

 

Knowing all too well that both Alcott and Elgar wouldn't be kept at bay for very long, the Honedge chose to focus, twist and twirl in the air, sharpening his fighting spirit. [Edwin uses Swords Dance]

[[IC] PMD: Explorers of Dusk [Not Accepting Sign-Ups]]

Surprised by the velocity and power of Elgar's charge, Edwin barely had time to brace for the impact, and still took most of the damage. [Edwin takes 24 damage]

"Ugh! Not bad, but your spectral friend will still pay the price of his rudeness!" and with these words, he lunges blade first toward Gnell. [Edwin uses Pursuit on Gnell]
